| 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful  Design flaw?, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Porter-Cable C7550 80-Gallon 30-Amp 6-Horsepower Oiled Vertical Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement) You can imagine my excitement to purchase this brand--I was soon dissappointed. From day one this compressor had a knocking rod noise-getting worse with pressure increase- I also noticed quite a bit of oil in my serparator I reported trouble -and it took 1 month to get a replacement pump.In the meantime, they had my pump on the bench at the shop. The new pump had the same knocking noise- I was told by the service man who disassembled my original unit, there was a large space between the rods, on the crankshaft end-they had been sliding back and forth and the pistons were slapping- after 10 hours of use-there was 1/4" of metal shavings in the oil. This is actually made by devillbiss--you will not even talk with a Porter Cable rep. I was also told to repackage the old unit-- Short story- in the 2 months I have owned mine-I have had 1 month of use-- Beware-I am sure there is a defect in this model----although...

WEG 23amp motor and UnoAir full cast iron pump runs at 1200rpm and is a little loud but acceptable. The clear plastic oil sight glass on mine needed tightening but was easily readable. This compressor uses a single belt drive, no mag starter or finned after/inter coolers like more expensive models. There is only one air outlet at the top of the tank.All this considered and with sale prices around $850 shipped this is a solid value for you gear-heads or the small/medium shop or garage. It appears to be well built to last a many, many years. Update on compressor as of 9 18 08. I have had this over 7 months. I did a lot of shop work and even restored and painted a car. Compressor is still working great with only 1 problem being the drive pulley came loose but was caught by the guard. It seems everything you buy these days needs an inspection before and again after some run time. I reassembled with a little lock-tite on the...

If I start having problems I will let you know. 4/27/08 still no problems. 8/8/08 still no problems. Today is 01/25/09 compressor still works like new. 4/04/09 The compressor is a year old today and still no problems. 8/01/09 been using the compressor hard for the last 3 months and no problems. The day i recieved the compressor i took the plug out from under the tank and put in a ball valve and extended it out from under the tank so it is easy to drain the water, i drain it every morning. 03/20/10 the compressor is almost 2yrs old now and still not a minutes trouble yet. 11/14/10 still runs and works like it did the day i got it.
