 Free shipping isn't free May 20, 2009

As of 5/09, Lowe's has this model in stock locally for $438, so you're paying about $160 extra for "free" shipping from Amazon. Also, Harbor Freight appears to have a reconditioned version of this unit (or very similar), which they will ship to you for a total of only about $400. Looks like a good unit though; I will probably buy it shortly to replace my rusted-out, 10-year-old Devilbiss 26-gallon unit (when they say drain the tank after each use, they mean it!).
 Excellent Air Compressor! February 1, 2009

This is an excellent air compressor! It definitely fills the needs for my home garage use. It is reasonably quiet given its size, and has so far run any tool that I have tried which includes a cutoff tool, air chisel, air ratchet, impact wrench, tire inflator, and an air drill. I haven't yet tried a paint sprayer, but give the size of the tank and the CFM rating I think it would handle it pretty well, perhaps with some waiting for it to repressurize. I expect it will run air sanders just fine as well. Just be sure to check the SCFM of what you want to use against the air compressors rating.
It does not come with a filter/regulator or wiring for 220V, so you do need to do a little work to get it installed. That this standard for air compressors in this size range though, so I have no complaints there.
I just left the unit bolted to the shipping pallet and sat it in the corner of my garage. For 220V, I wired a plug on 220V wire so I can run it through my laundry room door and plug it into my dryer outlet when I need to use it. Not optimum, but it is a working solution until I have a garage that is wired for 220.
If you need a powerful home compressor, you won't be sorry you bought this one!

I am very pleased with this unit, it is just what I was looking for, powerful and much quiter than I expected it to be. The only downfall is that you need to wire the unit yourself, although if you are handy with electric it is fairly easy to install. The "free" shipping from Amazon is an excellent bargin. I highly recommend this unit.

Good purchase and delivery March 26, 2007

I just received my unit several days ago. It was purchased to replace an aging Sears 2 HP compressor, which had mysteriously turned itself on during the night (even though the switch was Off!) and kept running, overheating and filling my home with oily smoke.
The purchase and delivery experience was great. I got the free shipping, and was expecting this would take 2-3 weeks on the slow train. I was surprised to get a call from the freight company two days after I ordered it, asking when I wanted it delivered. It arrived in perfect condition.
True to market hype, the 6.5 HP rating advertised is actually an overstatement. The label on the unit says it is a 3.2 HP, and that makes sense given the current draw. A true 6.5 HP unit would require a 30-50A circuit, like my Delta 5HP Unisaw. But this unit meets my needs at a good price.
Campbell Hausfeld makes this identical unit for a lot of other manufacturers... you'll notice different paint colors, but it's the same unit. Surprisingly, some other manufacturers charge more... as far as I can tell only the paint color and brand sticker is different. Buy this one and save yourself some money.
A downside over some of the cheaper units is that you'll need to provide your own electrical cord, air regulator and plumbing from the tank. I purchased Campbell Hausfeld's vertical compressor mount kit direct from their website for about $11. It comes with rubber and metal plates, as well as lag screws and lag shields to safely mount the unit to the floor. I've also purchased a flexible pipe to make the connection from the compressor tank (after a ball shutoff valve) to the rest of the plumbing in my system.
The cast iron compressor pump is definitely quieter than my old aluminum one was. The unit operates very smoothly and relatively quietly for a compressor, but it's still noisy.
I'll submit an update after I've used the unit for a while, but so far, so good.
