Good quality, but louder than expected
I just received this unit - about a week prior to estimated delivery - and must say I'm very pleased. The unit arrived via frieght carrier without notice (not good) so I was not able to request 'tail-gate' service in advance. Luckily, I was actually home and also luckily, the driver was willing to help me carry this 200# beast into my garage.

The unit was well packaged and assembly consisted only of attaching the wheels, handle, and air filters. Once assembled and positioned, I filled up the oil resevoir with the provided compressor oil, and fired it up. Pressure cut off is at 135psi, I it shut down and I let it sit overnight. By morning it was 100psi, so I'm thinking some teflon tape is in order for some of the fittings.

The only disappointment was that it was louder than I expected. Previously, I was using a small 3gal Craftsman that was as loud as a jack-hammer. The IR, while noticeably quieter, is still quite loud.

Great
We have had this unit for well over a year.We use it almost every day! Works flawlessly and very nice and quiet! We love it!
A smooth operator
I've had this compressor for a while now and I love it. I don't use it on 100% duty cycle, but it gets a fair amount of use and it has not let me down. The only thing I don't really love is that the CFM is a little lower than I'd like if I want to paint or go to town with a cut-off wheel. But other than that I love it. It is quiet enough that I can use it without worrying about about annoying the neighbors which is a huge plus since I do my best work at night when the kids are asleep. It is good quality and I'm really happy with the purchase.

I did have to pick it up from a freight company though since my neighborhood is a bit small for a 53' tractor-trailer to access. Not a big deal deal though honestly.
