I've got one. I like it. Just remember that it's 15 amp @220 only.

Where do they get the kahunas to claim 7 HP on something like this!?

Shouldn't that be worth about 4 horsepower, or maybe 3 1/2. Must've measured the horsepower just as the engine was about to melt.

The horsepower rating is about useless on air compressors if it doesn't come with a CFM rating. In fact, why bother even rating the horsepower?

Not that I wouldn't like to have that air compressor.

EDIT: Ahhh... after looking at it, it's a 3 hp compressor. Still a good deal. 10 or so cfm at 90 psi is little enough that you could get ahead of it with some jitterbug sanders and such.
