Arrived seriously damaged. Replacement arrived out of box and more seriously damaged. Missing parts.Red Paint Chips in what was left of box.Box was retaped w/ Wide Plastic Tape by Shipper.Do not order this item from Amazon. They are not capable of shipping it successfully.I buy a lot of other items from Amazon and am a loyal customer but will never order another large item
Amazon was always more than willing to send a new compressor but it took a while to get through to them that it was the shipping box problem that needed to be addressed. Not so. With a few emails back and forth with Amazon I finally got someone who passed along the bad shipping information to their shipping department. Follow up to below. What is with Amazon & PorterCable. ---------------------I'm a longtime Amazon customer and like others I was concerned about the damaged shipments I read about but decided to press ahead thinking by now Amazon would have taken care of the problem.
It is light enough on the wheels that I can still move it up and down the stairs from my basement workshop to the garage.
I hope they will take action and ship future compressor in a stronger container.
I checked inside and found loose parts & the compressor head BADLY dented and the compressor cover bent and sprung off its clips.
4 stars now.The replacement arrived with a broken air filter and a few dings but I decided to accept it.
The carton arrived at my work with torn packaging.
They couldn't replace the individual part but offered a discount which will quite easily cover the costs of obtaining a new one from Porter Cable.The compressor runs great, just a tad small for my spray gun but if I wait a minute for the tank to fill I'm ready to go again.
Initially the pressure adjust was stuck but once freed it works fine.
Immediate return of course but damn the delay.
This is annoying customers and costing them money.1 star for the above but I have no idea what the product is actually like.
Because it wasn't on a truck ride all over the country, it didn't get bounced around as much, so I imagine I lucked out in that respect. I was really hesitant to get this because of all the shipping complaints that other reviewers had mentioned. Great product though.nice and easy to move around. But it was such a good deal at under $200, so I decided to try it. It arrived in perfect condition from FedEx, but I think that had something to do with the fact that I opted for 2-day shipping rather than standard. I run a remodeling business, and this is a really terrific setup.enough power to run what you need, yet portable. I have a smaller pancake compressor that doesn't quite cut it for everything I do, and this solves that problem more than adequately.
I found that a lot of reviews noted damage to their compressor when delivered. Just right for nail guns and enough power for a paint sprayer. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones because mine came without a scratch. I like this compressors size. I also found that this compressor is quieter than my pancake compressor. And with the free freight, this was actually less expensive than my much smaller and less powerful pancake compressor.
The title says it all. Don't expect to use the first one you get. You would expect someone to read these reviews and make corrections.
