Questions & Answers

Is it the same as the Husky?

Is this model also sold as a 'Husky 30-Gal. Portable Electric Air Compressor'? The latter is available in store and cheaper... But the Husky demo in my store was red and the website picture shows the it as black. And it's not clear from the instructions manual for the Husky whether it can really wired for 240V.
Asked by: Xristian
Good Question the Husky seems like it is exactly the same unit except for the maximum PSI output is different Powermate claims 155psi, the Husky claims 135psi.

30 Gal. Portable Electric Air Compressor is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 42.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not delivered as advertised I purchased this unit at Homedepot.com and had it delivered to my local store. The shipping was free that way. HD.com shows a metal mesh beltguard, and the specifications list the tank as made from aluminum. Upon picking it up, I discovered that the tank was steel instead of aluminum, and the beltguard is the same plastic one on the Husky unit. I wavered upon deciding to keep the Powermate, or return it as it cost $60.00 more that the Husky. I eventually returned the Powermate, unrun, to the store. It was cheerfully accepted, and I then bought the Husky unit for $60.00 less. The only tradeoff was that the Powermate has a 155 lb. max pressure as opposed to the Husky only has 135 lbs. No big deal, this for a home garage hobbyist shop and not being used all day, every day. Home Depot was very good about the return and the refund. Make sure you keep the box until you are sure its a keeper! They need the barcodes on it for the return.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top Of The Line For Home Use And Small Shops I needed a 30 gallon air compressor so after searching the web i bought a Husky (VT6315) at a great price but after performing the break in the motor started to knock so it was returned and i bought this Powermate and what a difference in quality,this is quieter and easier to move and the belt cage isn't plastic.The tires are pneumatic not hard plastic or hard rubber and the tank is aluminum so it cuts down on weight and rust concerns.The delivery was excellent and the unit was not damaged but i would have like the driver to take the pallet and the container back but that's a small inconvenience as long as you have a truck and dump permit.Over all the extra money spent was worth the quality of the machine and it has a 2 year warranty!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Awesome compressor for the price. Much quiter than oilless compressors I've had in the past! Among the best compressors in it's price range. Was sluggish and would blow the breaker during hot restarts on an unloaded 15 amp circuit, So I ran a new 20 amp circuit, and now it always restarts without hesitation(wanted a 20amp outlet in the garage anyways for other tools). It's the perfect garage/shop compressor. Perfect for my main air tools....impact guns and grinders, but also keeps up well with my HVLP paint gun well too. Only annoying thing is the drain is a knarled screw that's hard to grab under the tank, will probably replace this next time I get out to the hardware store.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from cabinet spraying This unit is awsome! I can spray any thing I may need in cabinetry. The make air is as fast as discribed; The 30 gal. tank covers all bases. I used a $5000 unit before. This unit does all that unit did and it is transportable.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Old discription at homedepot.com Home Depot has an old description of this compressor. First the compressor does NOT have pneumatic tires but hard rubber tires. Steel safety cage is gone and replaced with the same plastic cage used on the C301H Husky. Drain valve is only a finger screw that is had to work. I had to order another one as this one is binding and only turns about a 1/2 a turn. Feet are nothing more than a flat piece of rubber that does not mount to the compressor. They fall off when ever you move the compressor. Manual recommends a 20 amp breaker, not a 15 amp. Compressor runs quietly and take about 6.5 min. to fill. Once the compressor filled to 155psi everything was fine. As it dropped to 120 and started to refill it trips the breaker about 25% of the time. I took the safety cover off to see if the belt was too tight. The belt was twisted. Got that straitened and so far it has not tripped the breaker, time will tell. As I just got this yesterday I can not speak to long term use. If I had to do it again I would just get the Husky. It has a 135 psi max pressure but they stock it in the store, has pneumatic tires and you can check it out before you buy. By the was the electric motor says it is a 1.8 HP vs the 1.6 HP stated in the description.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I like it! Purchased this one year ago. Mine has has the metal belt cage as shown in picture. Unit is very quite, quick recovery and well built. Initially I purchased the Husky/Cambell Hausfied - that unit was very poorly assembled. Large belt pulley had a cross threaded nut holding it to the shaft. Knock in motor. Anyway, this powermate has been a pleasure to use. 95% of my use is for cleaning. Blowing out chain saw, car detail work, bike cleaning. Anything that is difficult to clean by hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 30 Gallon Portable Twin Pump Compressor Very powerfull, and once is full, it take as little as 90 second to fill back to 150 PSI after use. I used it extensivley in my home shop for every thing needed with air tools. I have been using it every day for the last two weeks. Need almost a dedicated 20A line. Very well made, excellent desighn, Twin power motor makes it nice to have, lots of pressure and oil lubricated twin pump is vey quite. I should had this compressor a long time,and quit messing around with oiless compressors as I did for years. For the serious DIY home shop, this is the only way to go.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Store items are not what is described.online. We wanted this unit because of the 'V-Twin' pump and dual voltage motor. After visiting 4 stores in the area and being told that the unit has been substituted with another equivalent model we have given up. The substituted model is single voltage motor with a side by side pump. Still the same price though. We were told by HD customer support that 'For this particular product, the product may vary in features and appearance from different markets.' ???? Does this mean that in Seattle the item will have the features described but in St Louis the item is allowed to be different. The features on the compressor in the local stores are lower in specs and also the physical size is different. To the uninitiated, watch out what you are getting, you will be disappointed.
