Senco PC1108 Compressor, 2.5 Horsepower (Peak), 5.2 Gallon

The compressor arrived without a manual or dip-stick for the oil. After using for two hours I had to reset its temperature reset switch twice. This unit draws a big load and would trip a 15A breaker, so I had to lower the kick-in pressure (or install a 20A breaker). The interconnect hose between the tank and the manifold had too tight a bend in it, to the point where it was almost kinked. A braded hose from the compressor to the tank rubbed on the compressor motor. All items that can be adjusted, but should have been done right at the Taiwan factory. The motor start-up Horse Power is 2.5HP. Running Horse Power is 2.0HP. It does run quieter than most.

This is a powerful compressor which is quieter than most. After an hour of running the fan started to rub against the intake grating and will need to be adjusted by taking the manifold off and resetting the fan. For the price this should have been set correctly at the factory. I have no other complaints about general performance.
