Summary: Hitachi EC129 nice but has faults 2007-03-07
Comment: This is a very nice looking and well-built unit. It is a little too large to carry around like other small compressors, but the cartwheels and handle make it easy enough to get this unit around. And you can still carry it a short distance, like up some steps, but with two hands. This compressor is not quiet. It's actually a good bit louder than my 4 gal. Dewalt I had previously. But compressors probably aren't designed to be quiet and this unit's motor is slightly larger.
Now for the main issue, the unit ships without quick connect fittings for the front regulator panel so it's not plug and play out the box. When you get back from your local hard ware store with the fittings, and screw them in, you realize that they stick out past the roll cage built to protect the entire unit. This kind of negates the purpose of the cage. If the unit had been designed to ship with the fittings they would have recessed them more to prevent this.
This unit puts out more pressure, has a nicer regulator set up, and has slightly larger tanks than pretty much every compressor in this price range, so it still deserves 3 ½ stars by me, but on the next design ship it with fittings that have a low profile.
Thanks, JP
