Versatile and Easy-to-Use
An indispensable addition to any shop or garage, the versatile SS3L3 can dramatically decrease the amount of time spent on a project. Use it for around-the-house jobs, such as clearing the dust off of a workbench and checking air pressure in your tires, or for heavy-duty professional tasks, such as die grinding.
Electric Motor is Powerful and Quiet
Complete with a 3/8-inch air NPT outlet, the SS3L3 owes its powerful performance to a 3-horsepower single-phase motor with thermal overload protection and manual reset for longer life. The motor runs on a standard 30-amp, 230-volt household outlet and spins quietly. And because the SS3L3 is electric, it can be used in any enclosed space where gas power is not a safe option.
The SS3L3 is backed by a one-year warranty.

Summary: HORRIBLE 2009-12-14
Comment: This is the worst air compressor I have ever owned. I bought it new from a local distributor (Precision Pneumatics) and had it in operation for all of 2 months before it gave up. I called Precision Pneumatics and they came out IMMEDIATLY to evalutate the problem.It appears that the motor burned up. They removed the motor and then a couple of days later removed the entire unit. They gave me a loaner (thankfully) to use while they fixed the IR. I have been using their loaner (not an Ingersoll Rand by the way) almost two weeks now without a problem.
I got a call today from Precision Pneumatics saying that they were refunding my money because IR has been less than cooperative with the warranty. IR told them that it could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to 2 years before they were able to get a replacement unit/motor out for the warranty.
In order to save a customer and do the right thing Precision Pneumatics will be giving me a refund on the IR and they will fight with IR. Thank goodness for shopping local and using people who care about doing business the right way....too bad I can not say that about Ingersoll Rand.

Summary: excellent performance, small package 2008-10-30
Comment: I'm in the process of building a kit car in a one car garage. I needed a powerful enough compressor to run a DA sander and paint sprayer, which can be air hogs, but take up little floor space. Cost for performance, you can't beat 10.3 CFM @ 135 PSI in a vertical package. Be advised of a few things:
1. This unit uses 220 volt power, best to hard wire it in.
2. Order the start up kit, you need the oil, and you get an extended warranty from IR on the pump.

Summary: Cheap Compressor at a Premium Price 2008-01-21
Comment: I bought this compressor to replace a six year old Porter Cable 60 gallon unit that broke down after about six years of moderate use (turned out to be motor capacitors that were easy to replace). This unit seemed to be a step up from the Porter Cable so I spent the extra money and "upgraded". Installed it and ran it through a break in period according to the manual. Six weeks after that I heard it running in the barn when it really should not be and went to check on it. The air pump had blown its head gasket and gotten so hot that it melted the air filter off. I called Ingersoll Rand and they referred me to a service center and are trying to schedule a technician to come and inspect it to see if this repair will be covered under warranty. They even require a credit card number just in case they "determine" that it is your fault. The guy at the service center told me that the pump is made in India but did not fail too often (inspires a lot of confidence). My advise is that if you need a compressor that is this size, just buy the cheapest one that you can find - the premium for this Ingersoll is not worth it.

Summary: Perfect 2006-01-12
Comment: If it says this is a kids review just ignore it. I am not a kid I just did not feel like logging in.
I have owned this air compressor for about two years now and it was worth every penny. The compressor is excellent, So far I have run my compressor about 100 hours thus far. It has always supplied my with an ample amount of air when using air tools except if I run my impact for 10 minuets continuously then it drops to 70 psi. I would recommend this compressor to any one with out hesitation. I turned it on two years ago and it has been on ever sense it kicks on about every hour because there is a leak I have not fixed in my air system. As to the previous reviewer he is full of bull. And as to the allegations that it is cheap and would not hold up to extended runs I routinely run It for 3 to 8 hours at a time continuously and have done so at least a dozen times in the summer on 90+ days. Yes it puts of a lot of heat but if you do the math PV=nRt you will see that a lot of heat is given off compressing that much air. Yet with all this heat it has never caused it to malfunction, and the motor has a thermal over load/over heat button which has never tript on mine even after 8 hours in the summer. As well as the complaints as to the power of the motor if they were true that would mean that the motor was only 30% efficient thus it would be putting out 2320 watts of heat which it is not. It is drawing more than enough power for 4 HP even with efficiency factored in so it is putting out at least 3 HP. As well as the problem with the lack of rod bearings. They don't have them because there is no way to get a round ball bearing on to the crankshaft with out cutting them in half. As well as every small engine I have rebuilt and ever car engine I have seen they have had nothing more than the rod bolted around the crankshaft without any bearing of any kind. Finally the issue with the valves being cheap..... Why do you need to make it more complicated if it works reliably with such a simple valve. Also in response to the allegations that the tank was going to over pressurize If the switch failed and it continued to run there is a spring loaded safety valve on the power switch on the compressor so it is not possible to over pressurize it, mine hits about 133 before it kicks off. It is an excellent piece of equipment I highly recommend it.

Ingersoll Rand customer service received a call from me the next day. The customer service rep answered quickly, did not make me wait on hold, asked only a few questions and cheerfully shipped me a replacement motor which arrived in 2 days. It was easy to replace and the compressor is now working properly.
Bottom line... Bad things happen. I'm glad I chose a manufacturer that supports their products.
