Customer Reviews for Husky 20-Gal. Electric Air Compressor-DISCONTINUED

Doesn't deliver its rated SCFM @ pressure. I'm returning it this weekend, and will try another one to see if it's just this refurbished unit or indicative of the item. If it does work properly then I will update this review.

works great for home projects, i used it with a husky paint spray gun work out great.

Product arrived in less than favorable condition. Bottom of box was soaked in oil for starters. I should have returned it at that point. The air line coupling was broken. The wheel mounts were so bent that the wheels were useless. The pump ran ok for blowing up a few pool floats and adjusting the air pressure in our automobile tires. The next time I went to use it nothing. Motor will not run. I am returning for a refund. Motor runs very load, but this is pretty common for an oil less compressor.

Arrived on time and in like new condition. Have had this compressor for a couple of months now and it works perfectly. Honestly could not tell it was not new.

This compressor is worth every penny! I use it for general tasks (impact wrenches, tire inflation, brad nailer). It inflates tires very quickly. Why buy smaller compressors that will need to be replaced when worn out? I think the best part is I haven't misplaced it yet - I still have a small compressor that I haven't seen since we moved 8 months ago . . .

This compressor was purchased new. I guess this product isn't available as a new one anymore. I got it to remove the blades from my 50 inch zero turn mower and drive an impact wrench. It performs admirably and seems to put out plenty enough air flow for the job. At the price, then $169.00 new, it was a steal. At the current $139.00 for a refurb, I'd grab it if you need a compressor for occasional home shop use.

Good solid compressor, not many in this price range can go to 150 psi. Typical of most compressors in this price range, it is very noisey. Otherwise seems to be of very good quality. The shroud was cracked and since packaging was not damaged, I suspect it was that way when packed. Have not bothered to call about getting a new one. Would strongly recommend this to anyone looking to get a low cost compressor that can do almost anything.

I was hesitant to order this compressor after reading some of the horror stories in the reviews, but bought it anyway. Figured HD would stand behind it no matter what, they are that good in my experience. Only got this item this week but other than having to replace the quick disconnect outlet (leaked badly) the compressor works as advertised. Plan on using it for relatively light work but keeping my fingers crossed. It pressurized up to stated pressure in about 6 minutes and cycles on and off correctly. Like the large 20 gallon tank. Not much wear on the paint and such, shipping box protected it well.

I received the air comp in a timely fashion, that was nice. The metal handle was cracked like someone in the warehouse dropped it off a pallet. The hose valve plug in do not work...I had to change it. Other than that it is worth the money if you do not mind having a few scratches and willing to work with some small problems. The price is worth the problems.

The price was unbeatable. I had this same compressor before, and, it was stolen. So, when I went to replace it, and found a remanufactured one for $50 cheaper I jumped at the chance. Runs great.

It"s very mobile,keeps up with all my air tools,plus it arrived when it was promised,great service.

I was replacing my Campbell-Hausfeld of 30+ years (20-gallon and made in the USA) with this Husky. I searched the internet for an American made compressor (residencial use), but didn't find one. I read many of the reviews before I bought it. Some had good experiences, but most didn't. I was hoping I would join the list of satisfied customers. NO luck!! The ground pin on the electric cord was missing. The plug itself was split about half an inch down the side of one of its prongs (prong was not exposed). I left the unit on 120 PSI overnight, and it was down to 60-65 PSI the following morning. One of the wheels was used--the threads had dirt between them and in a small area on the wheel, there was a hard white substance. I could certainly live with a used wheel had that been the only issue. I definitely do not recom-mend this compressor. I guess one gets what one pays for!!

Like it very much. Arrived with some scratches, but it is reconditioned. Works great. Used for nail guns and tire inflation with no problems. Would recommend to a friend.

Great value compared to buying the same hardware in the store

I ran across this compressor when looking for a small compressor to operate a nail gun for my home remodel. For the same price of a small pancake compressor (2-gal), I got 20-gallon capacity and the ability to do more for less money. A similar unit would cost 2 maybe 3 times more new. I have had pretty good luck with refurbished items and no complaints about items I purchased from Home Depot, so I went for it! PROS: From empty, the unit took a few minutes to fill completely and held pressure fine until I drained it 2-days later. No apparent leaks! Good Deal! There is a diagram on top of the unit that list prefered uses for a compressor this size. The unit is Oiless, which is good for me! The tank pressure and tool pressure dials are self explanitory. Unit kicked right back on when I had used enough air for it to refill. May be a little loud, but I haven't heard a quiet compressor yet. Feels very sturdy and portable. CONS: Only con I have is the small ball drain valve underneath. The little plastic handle broke off the first day when I tried to break in the motor. Had to replace it with a ball valve with a larger metal handle, but it's much easier to drain the unit now. Ordered a couple of new valves from a third party party supplier of valves that took forever arrive, but thats not Husky or Home Depot's fault. I had replaced the valve myself anyway. Will keep the spares if I ever decide to sell this unit. The cheap valve handle is the only reason this unit didn't get five stars.

Product has been well used prior to shipping to me. Tank has oxidation and slow leak. Bolts that were included are the wrong size.

The compressor works well for light use.I found no leaks and all the parts were in good shape. the only thing wrong was the wheel mounting hardware. The threads stripped out with no effort at all.

Fast shipping, solid packing, great price! Easy minimal setup (installing wheels).Been using it for spraying almost daily for 2 weeks. So far, it has been great! Would definitely recommend.

First purchase of an air compressor, in which case I can't claim to be any sort of expert. First, the unit I purchased was "re-manufactured." I went this route for two reasons: 1) Lower cost (if it was a complete bust I'd be out less money); 2) Figured that more attention was given to it on a re-work, that any quality control issues from initial manufacture would be less. Being clueless about air compressors all I knew was that I didn't want to get a puny one, lest I get it and find out later that it won't do something that would be fairly simple (and I'd have to break down and buy another one; and justify it to my wife!). Bigger and more expensive units had the potential to be over-kill, though I really had no idea (and won't know for a while): also, the justification with the wife thing... AND, I've got limited power (and, for now, AM running off an extension cord!), so anything drawing over 15 amps could be a problem. This last requirement put me in the sub-2 horsepower range. So, at 1.8 hp I figured it was as close to max power that I could get. And tank size? Beats me! But, I figured that a pancake unit might not be enough, so, biggest bang for the buck- 20 gallon capacity! First power-on my impression was that it was loud. I don't tend to have a lot of power tool stuff running (but I do run tractors quite a bit), so maybe all compressors would seem loud to me? Again, I can't compare apples to apples. I didn't buy the unit to test out how well or how poorly my hearing protection worked, I bought it to (initially) blow stuff out: my wife was making fun of me with stuff all over my face from manually blowing stuff out (true story, but it was all in humor). And, so far it does just that. With a decent hose reel I was able to sick the compressor on my tractor and blow out all kinds of lodged debris (as well as doing a proper cleaning out of the air filter and canister). Blew out some other stuff. Seems that it's doing what I need it to do. Maybe I'll end up trying to use it to run a paint gun, or a nailer; if it manages these (foreseeable) things then I figure it'll pass the functionality test. Determination of durability will, obviously, take time... (just hope that this particular unit lasts longer for me than it did with the first person who bought it- I'm thinking it will [odds would tend to be in my favor]). I _might_ have thought to pay more for a similar unit if it had an aluminum tank: this, based on what little on-the-fly research in to the world of compressors that I did, would be life-extending (I suspect that even if religiously draining the steel tank that a steel tank would eventually fail; the motor on this unit will likely be the thing that goes first; and, really, the price kind of places this in the "disposable" category). Oh, and HD's on-line ordering and shipping is very good.

I was a little worried about buying preowned and some of the previous reviews mentioned the product arriving with a few problems. I gues I was fortunate because mine came in exactly as described with no problems. I followed the break in instructions and then let the tank fill, left it overnight and had the dame pressure the next morning. Everything seems to be in great shape. Have used it with a Husky DA Sander that was the lowest CFM sander I found and it worked well. Wil not work continuos but new that ahead of time. Would not have to stop for long and then I could use it again. I have so far found the compressor to be a great product at an unbeatable value. If you plan to do lots of auto body work this is not the one for you. But if you are just a weekender like me it should work great.

All parts were with machine, so far runs well. Condition was good for refurbished. Delivery was fast and free.

It works like its says. No probles yet. The price was far.

outstanding product for the DIYer motor keeps up with your job and and runs on regular electrical outlet

Small portable compressor for home use. Would not recommend for a lot of use with air tools like impact guns and chisels. Great for inflating tires and small paint jobs or air nalers and staple guns. The stickers were falling off the tank but this had nothing to do with the performance of the compressor.

refrubished, does not hold air !!!garbage!!! I do not recommend

The compressor I received had about a half gallon of water in the tank and the plastic housing had a huge piece missing as well as being cracked. The customer service was very helpful. While I had her on then phone I let her hear the water being drained out of the tank. She was very helpful in getting a replacement shipped to me. Overall this was not worth the wait or hassel. Again the customer service was very pleasant to work with!

No dents, arrived in good condition, screw for one wheel was stripped but other than that, I've used this to pop tile in my master bathroom and kitchen. This compressor has had over 20hrs of work. For $139 and still working it was worth the money.

take forever build the pression and never stop working.

When I received my compressor I noticed that the plastic did not fit quite right. with further inspection I found that during assemble the manifold was not properly installed causing multiple misalignment points. with a little more attention to detail it would be a good product.

I got the Compressor In And Its Just Great, It is Set At 145psi but thats fine, everything is in tact an nothing broken or missing..... an the loudness is not hard but soft, try it out an when it gose down to 120psi it kicks on an hits 145psi in about 4-minites an from empty about 10 min. also it has nice style an perfect compact size...... for 20gal 145psi this thing is perfect for all your hand held air tools, i'm useing it for a 20gal sand blaster, air rachets, air dremel, an 1/2 inch impact gun......runs strong....
