I received a JC10 from Amazon a few days ago, and it leaks out stored air pressure in a few hours. What is your experience?

I would check the drain petcock with soapy spray and the rest of the fittings.

I've had one experience with Rolair's customer service staff so far. They were excellent. I asked for a screw for a motor cover that had vibrated loose, they sent me a new cover. Further, they asked for the unit's serial number so they could look into whether there was a manufacturing issue.

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.

If I recall correctly when I purchased mine well over a year ago I had a leak problem with the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. Called Rollair and they shipped me another valve and that fixed the problem. The compressor may have a small issue to fix but in my opinion it's well worth it. I'm considering buying another one for back up.

I have read the same thing, but both J&R Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

I've had mine for a little over 5 years and it just seemed to vibrate loose. I have to do some more investigation but I think this is what is causing the leak. Again, this is after purchasing in October 2009.

Because it is leaking. I had the same problem and called Hamilton Beach and they are sending me a new unit. Had a choice of whether to wait until the end of the month when they will have a new improved one of the same model or a different model. I chose to go for a different model. All I had to pay is $13.00 for shipping.

inconvenienced: Sorry to hear of your problems. Did you buy from Amazon? Maybe they will help. Amazon has been very helpful when I have problems with their goods.I wrote Whynter last year about Warranty or Guarantee and never even got a reply! That was enough red light for me.The double tube units are the only ones to buy - but ONLY if there is provision for the unit to offload condensate automatically - and dependibly. My Fujitronics was great until the pump failed. It was then that I found that Fujitronics doesn't respond to requests for help. And doesn't have parts lists. And doesn't sell parts!There is room for a good portable airconditioner. For sure.Maybe someone knows of and can recommend one. inconvenienced: Sorry to hear of your problems.

Thanks for the info.Mine just stared leaking.It is nice looking, but it is a cheap piece of garbage. The hour on the clock changes whenever, also. B&D; used to make quality products-what happened?

I don't know about this company - I have not had a leak or any damage to cause the leak - but I do know with other air beds like this one if they can't help you over the phone fix the leak, they'll take it back and replace it and you'll only have to pay shipping. I've used three other air bed companies and they all have been like that. As I said, I have not had experience with this company - but give them a call and see if they won't walk you through a good fix or if they will replace it for you.

No, Wally, there should be no air leaks. I've had mine for about a month now, and I'm very, very happy with it. Quiet, light weight and easy to move, with a short recovery time. Perhaps the leak is caused by the male hose connector you plugged into it.

I have definitely not been happy with the performance of my 9280 & had I used it when I got it instead of waiting two months I would have returned it. After reading the other comments I guess I just got a lemon as mine leaks, had scorching,& pattern of the soleplate on my clothes.

I have used mine a few times with no leaks even left it hooked up a few hours to test and it held set pressure. Maybe try new male connector on your hose and see if it helps

Hello Rich. What is the original compressor you are replacing? The J7 is the trade channel the compressor is sold under.

I had air loss with a new one. After I seal it the air escapes from the top. Couldn't find the hole, but the air is escaping. I have another TBS tha does not leaks air.

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

Hate to say sounds like something wrong. I get the idea. Mine isn't that loud, but there is like an air noise, but doesn't seem to be a bad noise. Or hum, like some I've heard. Mine is more just the "perk" noise.Did you buy it from here. How often used? I'd contact Hamilton beach and ask. Since Amazon is merely the holder, Beach should know more the personality of unit.

mine was fine the first few times I set it up. Now is does lose some air, prob 25% or so after a couple days. Nothing I can't live with, but then I usually take it down after the weekend/few days.

I returned the one I purchased for the same reason it would not hold pressure, Amazon refunded me the purchased price. Review the return policy Amazon even paid for the return packaging.

I borrowed one to do a roof repair and it did leak air when I depressed the trigger halfway but I liked the fact that it hardly missfired or jammed like some of the other nailers I've used so I bought one a couple of weeks later and it also does the same thing when I depress the trigger halfway down, I use the bump fire feature so I hardly notice the air leak.
