I am no stranger to IR compressors as I have purchase many over the years used for large production facility applications. My experience using them and their reputation in the field solidifies in my mind that they are at the top of their game, the best of the best. When it came time to replace my portable compressor, I came upon this twin stack unit (model P1IU-A9), and decided to give it a try.
<br/>Box arrived on promised date (thanks Amizon) but with a few war wounds, which translated into a few scratches on the tanks; not enough to return the unit. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of all the hardware. Everything seems to be extra heavy duty which of course translates in to weight. She is quite heavy but not to the point that it is not portable. I will probably dedicate a dolly or cart to facilitate rolling it around.
<br/>It came with an air filter that looks more like it was designed for dessert conditions (very well designed). Stainless steel braded line leading from compressor to tank (not visible in pictures), quality brass fittings and copper lines. All plumbing seemed to be properly assembled. Nice fit and finish.
<br/>When I fired it up, I was pleasantly surprised. It seemed to be half as loud as my previous (Campbell and Hausfeld) compressor. I also noticed it had low vibration. Previous compressor vibrated quite violently.
<br/>Tank fills quickly and consistently and comes with a brass ball valve drain.
<br/>
<br/>Negatives:
<br/>A little upset about the paint on the tanks getting scratched from shipping, but I got over it.
<br/>Weight - maybe too heavy for someone with a bad back (approx. 80 lbs.)
<br/>Manifold assembly (gauges, regulator, connections) was not centered with cut-outs in front panel. Easy to fix.
<br/>Gauges, as many have said, are poor. They are hard to read (small print). I had to get down on my hands and knees to read the pressure. On the bright side, at least they would be very easy to change out if I decided to do so in the future.
<br/>
<br/>All in all, very pleased with the purchase. I am a value hound and this is one of the best values I have run across in a long time. Built like a tank.
