Editorial Review:

2 HP, Portable Electric Air Compressor, 4 Gallon Tank, 4.0 CFM At 90 PSI Direct Drive Line Regulator With Gauge Vertical Twin Stack Tanks.

Hitachi's 2-horsepower compressor is one of the hardest-working units on the market. Plug it into any standard household outlet and get 4.1 cfm of free air at 90 psi--enough to easily run two tools at once. Because of its compact size and trim weight, it's the perfect compressor for the home do-it-yourselfer, but taking into account its power and portability, contractors will love it, too. Minimum maintenance keeps this baby humming for years--all it wants is lubrication. The 2-horsepower, direct-drive motor runs at 14.5 amps, so you won't find yourself blowing fuses or popping breakers. Hitachi's known for workhorse tools, and this one is a prime example.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Great in warm weather:

This thing is great unless you are trying to start it in cold weather. It pops the breaker over and over until it warms up enough for the motor to keep running. I just use it around the house but if you were on a job site in cold weather it would be a problem.

Great Tool If Used Properly:

I got hooked on Hitachi tools several years ago and I have several Hitachi electrical and air tools in my toolkit. I bought this EC12 Oiled Air Compressor about 5 years ago and really like it. The reviews warned me to take care of the vulnerable gauge and pressure switch housings, so no probs. I installed a single 3/8" female air coupler onto the compressor and only use one 50' 3/8" hose and fittings to a reserve air tank modified from a portable (125 psi max) tire-filling air tank. My idea was to keep the... more info

Great product, but careless shipping.:

This is the best small size compressor for any job, it is the best oil compressor even in cold weather, and you will not be disappointed. Just be carful when you receive it, I ordered two and one of them had filter broken, and the other one had switch cover broken, but since I have part available I was able to replace them, it's not Amazon, it's the 70 lbs. of shipping weight where anything can happen.

Good compressor, don't get one in the mail!:

Okay, as you may have noticed in other reviews, it seems that it is not possible to ship an air compressor without damaging it. I would say that is true. I got one of these from Amazon in May and it looked like it had been through a war. The handle was bent, the regulator was snapped off, and little parts were everywhere in the box. To Amazon's credit, a new one was on the way immediately after I reported it. I got the second one and it seemed to be okay. My project got delayed for 3 months, so I didn't use... more info
