Anyone have experience with the two 80 gal Eastwood compressors? They say they are built in the USA. Who builds these?
I looked at the 5hP and 7.5HP 80 gallon tank ones. If you read a few of the Questions and Answers, Eastwood states the compressors are ASSEMBLED in the USA. They are NOT manufactured in the USA. As far as I know, they are decent units. The scroll one is supposed to be the pick of the litter, but I did not check the CFM rating. It does use a smaller tank, but that is because the scroll compressor is supposed to "recover?" much quicker.Anyone have experience with the two 80 gal Eastwood compressors?

Man you got screwed! You want your money back? lolI lucked into a decent I&R 30 amp 220 for free. Just had to buy the house to keep it in and pour a pad. Darn good compressor.

Doesn’t say a lot for Husky does it?
Pick your poison..... My Husky operated in a production environment for 10-12 days sometimes 7 days a week minimum from 2007 til 2012. It could literally never cut off except for lunch and as I said earlier it got the brakes beat off it. It has never let me down, never even so much as put a belt on it..... No compressor I have been around has outlasted it.... And I know it's chinese junk....

Now Quincy states in their manual to only use pads on the horizontals. And to absolutely bolt down a vertical without pads on a study cement pad.
My 8 hp Campbell Hausefield is bolted to the same pallet it came with 15 yrs ago. It hasn't moved and it's pretty quiet. For air compressor, lol.I lag bolted 4x4 skids with a 2x4 topper plate to the feet of mine.
GREATLY increases the stability and also vastly decreases the effort required to move it.
Also helps accessing the drain valve and reduces vibration transmitted to the floor.
The way the topper plate is installed, I can even put another set of 2x4 sections with casters on if I need to move it far.
