As expected, this compressor is top quality, made in the USA. Uses a 2hp Emerson motor, and Ingersoll Rand pump. Quiet, smooth, well built. Handles all the home mechanic's compressed air requirements for tools and any other compressed air needs.
Sears now sells a replacement Garage Mate model (now made in Taiwan ?? WTF ? ) for $459 or so. Like everything else, manufacturing is being moved overseas. Roll the dice I guess. The new Garage Mate is still probably better than anything you're going to find at Harbor Freight. Make sure you get a compressor with a cast iron pump. The cheaper aluminum ones are noisy.

This a great unit does all that the makers claim of it and then some.....
However, my only complaint is that when it was delivered, it did not come with a bottle of that ever so important commodity called oil!
When you buy any other sort of engine driven item such as a lawn mower, weed wacker etc etc etc they always supply at least enough oil to get you started! They also make it even harder for you as they want your to use there own oil the 'all season' synthetic type which they give you an extended warranty on... However, again it easier said than done to just pop out and pick up the amount required.
Suffice to say I ended up having to oreder that on line and waiting for the delivery!
Now that i have finished whinning about that :-)
The unit it self is great the delivery of the item that I know was hard for a lot of you guys was wonderful as the delivery driver had a tail lift and placed the unit inside my workshop as well :-)
5 stars all around just the lack of oil is / was my only problem...
Please try to buy US made products when possible.....
U know it makes sense!

I received my compressor in a timely matter and after using for a few months, I must say I've been very pleased. It's super quiet and I can't believe I went so long without a good quality compressor. It's an excellent size for the home mechanic/handyman for all sorts of jobs. I've used it small stuff like blowing up my daughters toys all the way up to using the impact for a tire rotation. Also, as mentioned, you will need oil so just buy thier oil/filter kit and be done with it. It's a little pricey but the oil is synthetic and it's well worth the added year to your warranty. I love my USA made compressor!
