Rough shape but works well.
Had to replace the hose fitting that came with the compressor because it leaked. After that no leaks and works fine but the unit looked like it was drop kicked down some stairs.

20 Gallon Reconditioned Husky Compressor
I didn't give it a five (5) star rating yet because I still have not used it. The quality is there and you can't beat the price. Upon receiving, I checked the oil, plugged it in It ran like a champ. Took it to the recommended MAX pressure and let it just sit there for 5 days at which time the tank pressure lost only 5 psi with no leaks. I think I'll be happy

Missing parts
Compressor seems to work well but was missing all hardware for wheels. I called customer service, gave them part numbers I needed and they shipped 1 of each. Ended up going to hardware store for bolts, washers and nuts.

real nice.
seems to be holding up. has been able to handle all my air tools and doesn't leak any air even after letting it sit for a week. The price should be a bit lower or Warranty should be longer but no big deal.

my Rebuilt unit does not work propertly
compressor will not build enough pressure to shut off gets 120 lbs pressure shut off is set at 155. I will try to get this resolved this week but who ever is doing the repair on this compressor need to be retrained I bought a rebuilt unit because I thought for sure it would have been tested before they sent it out to a new customer.

Great Value For The Price
Replaced a 15-Gal Craftsman compressor with this one after a pump failure. Certainly exceeded what the Craftsman compressor would support and at less than half the price. Compressor arrived with drain valve handle broken off, but valve functions using pliers. No issues to report, hard to beat the bang for the buck on this!

Would be good if it worked
Excellent deal if the unit actually worked properly. First, the reconditioned unit shipped missing parts. Replacement parts were shipped quickly and were received about a week and a half later. Broke it in and used one time to blow sawdust out of the garage and now it won't turn on at all. Checked the outlet and outlet is fine. It is covered under warranty, but the closest repair shop is 40 minutes away and now I have to haul it there. For the short time it did work it was good, a little loud, but that is to be expected. It also came pretty beat up, but that is also expected for a reconditioned unit, and its in the garage so it doesn't matter. Would be a great deal if it worked. FYI this is the first thing from HD that I've bought that I've had issues with including other reconditioned tools. Unfortunate

OK for Reconditioned
The compressor came packaged very well with the only assembly required being the wheels. All of the nuts and bolts were tight and the compressor runs well and holds air pressure with no leaks.

Did not work well.
Compressor looks great, but I turned it on and it ran for an hour and did not fill the tank, which it really should have in that amount of time. Its max is 155psi and in one hour it only filled to 130psi. I tried to use a small air ratched and the tank drained super quick and had to wait another hour for it to fill up, and not all the way.

Good unit!
unit was a little scuffed up from shipping, but nothing major. It already had teflon tape on the fitting. I ran the compressor till it filled up and let it sit for the past 3 day and it hasn't lost any pressure.

loud and runs rougher than my old one did
No more than what I use an air compressor if it last 5 years I'll feel that it was a value. But I have my doubts.

It works
They slapped on a new coat of paint and a husky sticker on the front and shipped it to me. It works but will leak air down to 120 and hold put some teflon tape on and is now better.. It will work for what i need it to do. This dang thing is loud when pumping air.

Great value, controls all in one place, easy to drain.
It was a good value for the price, Controls all in one place. Drain is a little inconvenient but it is easier to get to than my old compressor.

Just as Adveratised
Read reviews decided to order mainly because of HD return policy. Must of lucked out, mine arrived in a nice package/ing, nothing broken or scratched actually looking new, after braking in the pump notice that mine does go to 155psi, the only thing that I found was a small leak after about 5-10min it dropped about 8psi, did the soapy water thing on the exposed connections/valves and found the leak to be coming from the knob which regulates pressure, it has some kind of ring w/ teeth around it, not sure what this is but when I tighten this part using some screw drivers(one to use a "chizzle" and the other one to hammer the leak was gone, left the tank w/ 155 psi for 24hrs. did not leak at all. Tank is loud yea but it's not like I zip wine and listen to classical music in my garage..:) to fill to 155 it takes less than 5 min. The only reason why I gave it a 4: made in China, had to do the leak investigation(which should be done at the factory or where ever they refurb.) and I still haven't tried my impact wrench. good buy in my opinion. I posted a vid. of the leak as I think it can help someone else, it's grainy but you can still see the bubbles.

20 Gallon Electric Air Compressor

Worked perfectly right out of the box
Read some reviews that said this unit leaked air when they first got it. Mine worked great the first time. I left air in it over night and it only went down by half or less. It was borderline as for enough cfm to run my impact gun. Like others have said, it is LOUD. Nothing else close to its power in the price range.

Seems fine.
The first two times I ran the unit it got hot. I plugged it into a closer outlet in a cooler place and since then it seems to be fine. Good volume but noisy.

finish showed a little wear , but overall a great purchase..
I received the air compressor in a timely manner, the paint finish on it showed wear in a couple of places . Compressor works great though for around the house stuff. Overall a good value for the money.

great price, not too loud
So far it has performed to my expectations. Quieter than others I've heard, it has enough volume to give my 1/2" impact gun the power to remove, and install 4 wheels, without having the motor kick on.

Great for the money
I was expecting Broken Wheels but they were fine. It takes a long time to fill the tank but the long work time before the motor kicks in makes up for it.

Its the right shape and size for my use
this was a reman and it came with a defective cord which took three weeks to get. had to call back to get part sent out again. Staff was very good. Just got it running this weekend and it works fine so far.

    Excellant compressor so far
    This compressor is great for the average home mechanic or handyman. It provides plenty of air pressure for everything I have put it through. Mechanically it has been great. The one problem I have noted is the buildup of condensation in the tank. The drain valve is not fully at the bottom of the tank. You have to tip the compressor back a little to get the water to drain. When I realized this I got so much water out I got my manual and tools wet.
