Suitable for most sub-65A plasma cutters
Purchase for use in an attached garage for hobby metal fab. This has the highest CFM I could find in a 120V motor. Quiet enough to not be too obstrusive to neighbors and family indoors. Has enough CFM to run most 45-65A plasma cutters. I run a Yeswelder Cut-65DS with this compressor and have never been air-starved even cutting 1/2" plate. Probably the best choice for medium duty metal fab that still runs on 120V. If you don't need max CFM there are better value compressors in the sub-$500 range.

    Product takes time to build air. The motor seems to turn slower than other home depot compressors like the 27 gal.

    After comparing this to the others in the local stores around. This one best suited me with the 30 gallon tank and a reasonable high cfm and the quick fill up. I couldn't wait to get it. As a do it yourself guy and a hobby enthusiast this met my expectations, Couldn't be happier

    Unit comes fully assembled in the box. Quiet enough to have a conversation in the garage without needing to yell. Unit is easy to move around and the regulator/gauges are clear and user friendly. I adjusted my max pressure down to 150 to match the rating of the air hardline I chose.

      I ordered on line and it was waiting at Customer Service. HD employees loaded it in my truck and secured it. Excellent service. The only caution I have on the compressor is it is a 175 psi compressor and if you have been using a lower pressure, you might want to back off the pressure. I had been using 125 and burst the first hose I hooked to it! My fault, not the compressor!

        This unit is perfect for general use. Unit is surprisingly quiet. For its cost and use case it’s great.

          I am waiting for my plasma cutter to see if this compressor can keep up with small projects on thinner metals/steel. So far it has been flawless for me. I put on the high flow Milton fittings on this compressor, my hose and tools. It has a bit of trouble keeping up with my die grinder but works great on smaller bursts with my HF air hammer/chisel.

            Great compressor
            I have had this compressor for 1 year and it has worked great. While sitting it has not lost one pound of pressure in the tank. It has the power of a 2 stage compressure. It has done every job I needed it for

                    3rd time not the charm
                    3 defective units, gave up and went with competitor. 1 leaked oil from main seal, 1 had a defective flywheel that wobbled and vibrated the whole unit, 1 leaked air from almost every fitting. Go with another brand like I did.

                      Tank leaks. Other reviewers said the lower drain valve is the issue and I’m assuming that’s the issue with mine as well. Pretty annoying.

                          It is a great compressor, but did not serve the main purpose and actually I do not need this heavy compressor for irrigation blowout. I though by buying a bigger one I can blow all zone in one go, but I have to stop after every zone, so I returned and got a small one and that used for sprinkler blow out. I have to stop after every zone, let the pressure build again and then move to next one. But it wasn’t that bad. Now I saved money for sprinkler blow out and also helped my neighbor too .

                            I'm not sure if I just got a lemon or if they are all like this. Bent pulley, loose belt, noisy like crazy after a week.

                              New Purchase 10/22/21
                              I bought this compressor in store locally. After 2 months of endless research, this particular model just made sense when you add the protection plan. The 2 hp motor and new pump design were a plus. Very satisfied.

                                Well worth the money
                                After hours of investigation...This was my choice. I really didn't need the 175 lbs of pressure, but after owning a single stage single piston unit that was sooooo loud, I had to leave the garage when it ran, Double piston, Belt drive is a smoother sound.

                                    Operates satisfactory but hard to maneuver
                                    Works well but if you are over 6' tall it is a pain to wheel around. Handles were made for someone around 5'5" or shorter. Need to have adjustable handles or a kit to extend current handles.

                                      The product met the expectation that I was hoping for with reference to the CFM of output for my paint booth paint guns and DA sanders.. It runs perfectly. I was surprised at how quite it runs. I actually expected it to be much louder. needless to say , I am pleased and would recommend it to others if questioned about it.

                                        The machine is great. Works wells and covers all my needs. But I had to tighten the band that connects the motor to the fly wheel so that sucks when you have to work on a new machine.
