This review is from: Campbell Hausfeld #FP2004 Tankless Air Compressor (Misc.)

I was aware that this compressor is rated as "low duty". Household etc. However, it is supposed to deliver 125psi, up to a duty cycle of 30 minutes. And that is all I need to clean computer interiors etc. 3 or 4 times a week in our shop, which it was intended for.

First I realize that the air-flow in CFM is very low, (and not specified in the manual). I connected it to a 6 gallon air tank I have around, which fills in about 8 minutes to 90 psi. Good enough for my purposes, and 8 minutes run-time (with at least 1 hour stop in between) is well within the specs. This setup worked for exactly one week and approx. a total pump run-time of 30 minutes. Yesterday I started the pump and 1 minute later I get this smell of burn. It turns out that one of the 2 (sewing machine size) motors had burned out. (Yes, I took it apart although that voids the warranty. I'm abroad and returning it to the manufacturer is more expensive than another compressor).

Well. On the sticker attached to the compressor it says "built to last". They did not mention "built to last beyond 30 minutes..." I expected a bit more than that.

Bottom line: This is about the last compressor you want to buy for anything else than inflating a football once in a while.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing!, October 21, 2007

I bought this unit for inflating car/SUV tires and blowing off my workbench. It produces very low airflow, so it takes forever to add even a few pounds of air pressure to automotive tires -- and the gauge is all but useless for determining the pressure of whatever it is you're inflating. I've never reviewed an item before -- and (because I can't locate the receipt) this item's going to Goodwill. It works, but for a few extra dollars, I'm convinced I can find one that's better.
