4.0 out of 5 stars Very good - with provisos, January 17, 2001

This review is from: Emglo M990-HC4V 2-1/2 HP Electric Master Series Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)

Just received my M990 compressor after my local small engine repair shop recommended it over others. Good news is seems to be everything it was perported to be. Plenty of power, great pressure and set up for two air hoses right out of the box. Bad news is that it only ran for about ten minutes before I had a problem with it. Seems an internal pressure valve must have gotten a piece of trash in it and it wouldn't release enough pressure to allow the motor to restart. Called the 1-800 service number and rep. provided excellent assistance, bottom line however is that it needed to go to the local repair shop for warranty work. Would also note that when they recommend a 20 amp circuit for this unit, they mean it. On my 15 amp circuit, lights dim each time it starts up. Also, the unit is about at the limit of what one would reasonably call portable. It's heavy and awkward to carry. Made me almost regret not getting a wheeled unit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Heavilly dissapointed, March 17, 2001

Product- Emglo 990 2 1/2 H. P. Compressor Reviewer: James M Dube I use to frame for a living, now i do trim . So i am use to heavy lifting,but this comoressor is the most heaviest,awkward to move around.Within two weeks of using it started falling apart on me .The hardware that holds the power cord is so inadequate,it is unbeleviable.They use a regular romex connector to hold a 10-3 cord.Needless to say i have to put it back together about every two weeks.Now let get to the real engineering feet,the mounting hardware that holds the compressor unit to the frame.There is four or five 3/16 nuts that hold it on which i have to put back on every other week.This is the worst set up i have ever seen,i am so dissapointed in Emglo product.I have bought them for years and was always satisfied.I was thingking of selling it but i would not feel good about giving my problems to someone else .I`ve built many houses for people aand always felt good walking away because i knew i did a good job . It`s called pride.
