I've had this for over a year now with absolutely no issues.

I primarily bought this for it's power, relative portability, features, and the Porter Cable name.

I've done an entire 1st floor hardwood floor install with it and a 100'
hose with the famous standard floor stapler-nailer that the big contractors use with no issues.

I've also used it to blow out sprinklers here in Colorado as well as some grinding, sanding, and cutting air tools.

You can find an aftermarket hose reel that you can fabricate aluminum brackets for to attach to the compressor's handle.

You should also add a simple valve to the bottom to drain any accumulated water buildup - this is most important for the tank not to rust internally and is spelled out in the extensive manual.

I've even bought a winch system to lift the unit into the back of my truck to take it to rental properties to blow out sprinklers. The winch system is really for hauling large hunting game into your truck, but it works for hauling this unit up into the truck as well.

You can't beat this for a more permanent powerful solution for home use.

Although for true portability I will probably get a pancake compressor, although I don't see the need right now with work to be done around the house.

Additionally, it is a true 15 amp device, so you can't run much else off the same circuit, keep that in mind. With power comes a price.

I think this is the best portable air compressor on the market. It is heavy, but with a little help could be moved to any job site. I've only had it about a month...but it has performed beautifully, doing what the description advertised. It is very quiet. It was delivered undamaged in a 48' trailer, strapped and shrinkwrapped to a heavy 4-way pallet. Oh, and Amazon beat everyone's price by a large margin.

I waited about 2 weeks for this over sized item to arrive only to find that the tank was defective. It obviously was not tested because the air whizzing out of a weld in the tank could be heard from another room in my shop. I feel bad for Amazon because in the end they will probably pay more for this Item in shipping than the original invoice. The only thing that I could tell about this compressors performance is that it was not as loud as other compressors that I have used. Too bad.

Awesome product. Pumps up fast and will last almost forver with proper use. Wheels are plastic, but has a semi pneumatic tread. Very good value. I have bought several porter cable brand tools and have yet to be dissapointed. I even got free shipping. So it was a great buy for my area. Other's were not as nice for the money if bought locally.

i purchased the compressor after reading other reviews that claimed this compressor would pretty much keep up with air tools. WRONG! i would not reccommend this compressor to anyone desiring to run tools requiring 90 psi, as it doesn't come close to keeping up. need to inflate a ball or tire? this compressor can handle that.
