I've had mine four years.  All the good things I agree with.  By looking at things, it appears to me that the unit itself is well designed.  Put together?  that appears to be another story...  Most of the issues with this are that it broke.  When they worked before they broke people were OK with it.  I believe a little quality assurance on the assemly lines could improve customer satisfaction.  People appear to like the unit just not how its put together Sears, why don't you contact your subcontractor and indicate you aren't happy with their quality control...  This is one where that cheap...

I have a compressor that my Father bought WAYYYY back in 1965.  It is a Craftsman with a 3/4 HP motor and a 15 gallon tank if I am not mistaken.  I have used it to Paint cars, use air tools, Sandblast..a miriad of uses..and it never once gave out on me..still runs great.  I bought this one due to the Quality of the old one.  I figured I could use a new compressor in the Garage just in case the old one ever dies.  I have used this new one for about 8 hours total time now and have no problems other than the pressure regulator went a bit crazy.  It seemed to drop down in PSI with every use last...

I've seen some reviews for this stating it doesn't come with oil and that a few have ruined the compressor motor by starting it up without oil.  Mine arrived with oil and I read the manual before starting it and the manual states it already has oil.  Maybe Sears made some changes to alleviate warranty repairs.  So far this compressor works great and seems to outperform my Craftsman 4hp oiless compressor that I had for over 12 years. It is much, much quieter and I can place it right next to the doorway leading from the garage to my home without any concerns about the sounds of it running. It...

I bought this compressor mainly for blowing dust out of computers and other electronics.  It's okay for this function but I don't think it could handle any air tools.  It takes about 10 minutes for it to fill from completely empty and its recovery time is approximately 90 seconds (if your not using any air at the time). (Turns on at about 85psi and shuts off around 110psi)  If you are drawing any air during recovery, the pump cannot keep up.

It's loud.  Not as loud as a diaphragm compressor, but it's not quiet like the tag in the store suggests.  You cannot have a converstaion next to it while...

Folks, the customer service I received was great! I was too early for the, "Friends & Family" automatic 10% off. The Sears rep told me to not buy this Open box item and to come back at 6:00 pm to save 10%. Ok I said. Went back and brought the unit home. Tightened down all the screws to make sure they were snug. Filled with oil, air filter installed, fired up and went to pressure cut-off. Not too loud. UPS is picking up my Allpower APC 4028 return sometime in the morning. Fired it up and it could not hold air. All Power manufacturer sent me a new safety air release...I installed it to only find...
