Has anyone put this compressor through long or frequent use? Can you provide update after extended time (&gt;1 year, or frequent job site use?)

I have one that was on a job site that we used maybe 2-3 times a week with finish guns that is 1 year old now that quit working about 4 months ago. So after 8 months of use, the motor stopped working. I sent it in because it was still under warranty but they said it was to dirty to honor the warranty. I spent 500 bucks on what I thought was a air compressor that I would have for many years but this was not the case. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying a makita compressor. California air tools is a really small company. When I got the compressor it had some small issues strait out of the box. some of the screws were loose and there was some small damage to the stainless steel face plate. You can tell from opening the box that it was not a big organized company. It looked like a 5 year old packaged it up with a little bubble wrap and tape. No foam padding that was molded to the machine. I would not buy this!! Keep away!! Its not even that quite. My Makita is just a little louder then the Cal air tool. Hope this helps and good luck. Thanks, Matt

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

I had a small compressor that I bought at Lowes. not big enough. I have now upgraded to a two stage compressor that does the trick. I was just using too many things at once on the old compressor. I think if I had nothing else hooked up to it I would have been fine.

My compressor has an identical output and it works. You do have to wait for pressure to build up between uses. I was removing ceramic tile and the tile cement from a bathroom floor so I would take up some tiles and cement, clean that up while the pressure built back up and then do some more. It will not work continuously because the compressor can't keep up but you can do a significant amount.

I understood it to be 3 years on the compressor, 7 years on the tools. but I'll try to go back and double check.

I use mine almost every weekend for over a year now. No problems. I agree with Marc and try to contact the company.

None so far. I don't expect it to operate like a full size compresssor. I think the manual says not to operate continuously for more than 2 hours. I am surprised they say it is good for that long at a time, but should get one out of a bad spot. Emergency being key here.

I used mine for over a year - as long as I kept the valves replaced regularly it worked great almost the whole time. The last month or so I could tell the motor noise wasn't as strong as usual so I think it was on its last legs, but luckily I was past my 12-month goal so it wasn't a big deal.

Manufacture Warranty is 4 years. As fair as what all is cover. I don't know. What I do know is that this is a very good compressor. I have used this thing almost every day since I purchased it and have no complaints. If you are planning on using a lot of high speed air tools it may be too small. I use it to raise and lower my motorcycle lift, some air tools and occasional painting.

No I do not have an answer without more info, or a more specific identification of the compressor. The model number provided didn't match any current products I could find.

Not sure why poeple are having issues right after the warranty expires. I use two of these in manufacturing and they have been running 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the past year... Considering most people only use them for 8 hours a day 4-5 months a year, my usage is equal to 5+ years of seasonal use. I've never had an issue.. Knock on wood lol

Have not had any problems with my unit. I do not like to keep air in the tank for any extended time due to condensation build up and possible rust inside the tank. My compressor is stored with drain valve open. It is the quietest compressor I have ever heard and has always worked for me. I have had the rolair for a little over a year now.

my compressor stopped working also. However, since it was fully charged I did not attempt to charge it and considered it dead and purchased another since the warranty had expired. Will never purchase another Peak ever!!!!
