In my opinion formed from direct experience and having read the opinions and experiences expressed by others - They over rated it, whored out their name, and made it as cheaply as possible to maximize profits. If they had put a 7.5 HP motor on it then it would actually do what it claims and hold up okay. If they had put a smaller pulley on it and settled for a lower CFM spec on the sales sheet it would have worked probably just fine and lasted. They didn't do that and as long as they have been in the business they should have know it was going to be a lousy product. The thing is I keep getting better and better stuff for my shop as I can afford to. Next time I upgrade my shop compressor I won't "step up" to any "better" product from Ingersol Rand. I will buy something else. Anything else. Based on my direct experience its my opinion that Ingersol Rand can not be trusted.
