The fact that he said "shit" and the way he said it as if he was having a normal, day to day conversation with a buddy and they didn't edit it out is the perfect touch to make this appeal to the average DIY guy/gal and I love it. I've bought quite a few Eastwood products and they makes me feel even better about my purchases.
“I tried isolating blocks and all that other shit!” 😂😂 I work in marketing and make product videos daily - I WISH I could make a video this laid back and natural. Eastwood, you hiring? 😂
Man for real i was realatin to a whole diffrent level man,cause i have a cheap 10 gallon and boy does that thing make hella noise vibrations......you name it will have to rack up the money for one but ill forsure buy it later on cause dayuum loud ass compressors suck edit- maybe i wont buy it it seems that lots of people have to many damn problems with the compressor wich is sad but oh well.....
@@thatmand4542 I agree with you on the bad feedback that I've read as well. I just sent Eastwood an email on their contact form letting them know that I want to buy one but have they fixed their quality issues that have gotten them a lot of bad reviews. Oil leaks, water in the oil, capacitors burning up and filling the shops with smoke. Scary stuff for 2100 dollars.
I’ve had my Eastwood 30/60 Scroll compressor for over 3 years now and can’t say enough good things about it. I have a significant hearing loss and tinnitus , and cannot tolerate loud noises. Compared to my old piston compressor, it’s incredibly quiet. When it’s running I can stand next to it comfortably without hearing protection. It easily powers all of my pneumatic tools from grinders, impact wrenches, sanders, abrasive blasters, drills and spray guns with no loss of pressure. Mine is the first generation unit and I imagine there are improvements on the latest version, but I have no idea what they would be . To say I’m satisfied would be an understatement. Worth every penny! Bill Z
I plan on getting one when my current unit bites the dust, but the price will probably have me weighing this or buying parts needed for my restoration and a box store one. I'm usually by myself in my shop- so the noise isn't a huge issue. But, the output is much better than what I have now. It certainly would make blasting easier. I like the "behind the scenes" on the R&D too. Eastwood is always innovating and coming out with coolest tools- I tend to spend way too much money with you guys
I was part of the "early adopter, pre-buy" group 4 years ago now, so unit was heavily discounted verses current price; $1500, I think. I had a couple of "infant mortality" issues on those first-generation units. An oil fill indictor that warped and leaked; Eastwood replaced that and sent the oil change materials with the replacement. The intake air filter housing was made of weak plastic and broke; I didn't even ask them to replace that, I just built a new one out of steel. The thing is awesome BUT it does generate A LOT of heat if you are running at 100% duty-cycle for more than a few minutes. Enough that I cooked paint off the compressor head and vaporized some oil running a soda blaster for 30-40 minutes. I would suggest to anyone else who might plan to push the unit close to 100% duty cycle to add a 10" temperature-controlled fan, like I did (a server fan, off Amazon). Now I can see how hot the compressor is on the digital display and know the fan will kick on at 100F if I push it. It usually runs at 75-80F.
A lot of the reviews talk about the heat and quite a few even have pictures of the capacitors burning up and filling their shop full of smoke. I want one but not until they clear up these issues.
I love the concept and really want one, I'm deeply concerned about all of the bad reviews and experiences documented on youtube by end users. Has Eastwood sorted these issues out? Is there a pre sales support line?
I've had mine 3.5 years now, and I've only had one scare where it would sometimes squeak on shutoff after sandblasting and really working it for extended periods of time. I stopped using it and contacted customer support. They thought it was the intake valve shutting and advised that it wasn't an issue. It's never failed to make quiet air when I need it. I haven't heard any squeaks since I finished the last extended sandblasting session. The sandblaster, plasma cutter, mist cooler, and paint gun are all louder than the compressor, and it's great. I still get a kick out of it when it comes on filling up tires because that's about the only time I notice it. It hasn't been perfect. I found a bonus set screw in the cabinet (CS thinks from assembly or test equipment), there's a piece of a broken drill bit embedded in a foot gusset, and some of the bolts holding the equipment down inside the cabinet were loose after 2 years when I investigated the squeak. I guess the loose bolts were probably due to the rubber isolation bushings settling from heat, age, and vibration. In aerospace, FOD (foreign objects / debris) is a big deal, and maybe that biases me to be overly concerned about seeing extra stuff. Compressors aren't missiles. At any rate, none of the issues have cost money to fix.
I've had my compressor for 6 months and have not had any issues with water in the oil ,the secret is it has to run enough to evaporate the water from the oil if it doesn't get warm enough its going to build water , the tank of all compressors will have water
@@Fred-mv8fx Broken drill bit!!! That's just hack builders that don't care about the end product. Also if you read the reviews there's more than one of these compressors that arrived at customer's houses with loose bolts and bolts that completely fell off in the crate. I'm scared to buy one of these because of all the negative feedback I've read about these. I do want one but when I buy anything I hope that I do not have to use the warranty.
Exact reason why I haven't bought one yet. And I have the money waiting but don't want to have to use the warranty that so many of the buyers of this compressor have had to use.
I'm interested in getting one but I'm seeing videos of the unit being a maintenance nightmare blowing oil from a valve. Eastwood what's up with that? This is not a cheap investment.
Use our #31718 ( 30/60 take 2 qts at oil change) OR customer can source other brands as long as they meet: ISO 32 synthetic scroll/screw compressor oil www.eastwood.com/eastwood-scroll-compressor-oil.html
@eastwoodco Thanks. Honestly, would be so much easier if the oil spec was printed on the oil bottle like other manufacturers do. Also, all of the links to SDS sheets on your website are not working. EDIT: I feel like a bunch of people are posting bad reviews of this compressor, because they don't know how to maintain a compressor. But honestly, I think lack of information from eastwood is as much to blame. Compressor ships with oil that has dye in it, say it somewhere so that people don't freak out when pink oil comes out although new oil is yellow like most oils are. Say some place, on compressor website what oil spec to use so people don't use wrong one or be afraid to change it. Print oil spec on your oil bottle so people know what it is. It's not black magic, it's basic maintenance. EDIT #2: I actually really like the compressor; not trying to give you shit about the compressor; i just feel like a lot of headaches on your part can be avoided by simply communicating technical information better. This compressor will require maintenance, don't treat it like an iphone...
While at it, let me address what others have said or complained about of various parts of the internet; most of which is actually not a problem; just requires appropriate maintenance. People complain that there is no oil heater and moisture does not separate from oil into air tank efficiently. People complain that there is no automatic moisture drain. well... those features exist on other compressors that cost $6000 and up. This compressor is still a very good deal for what it is at its price point.
This is THE air compressor that I wanted but the quality reviews are very poor. Humidity issues, breaking issues etc. I'll wait a few more years and hopefully better review will come out.
I've had my compressor for 6 months and have not had any issues with water in the oil ,the secret is it has to run enough to evaporate the water from the oil if it doesn't get warm enough its going to build water , the tank of all compressors will have water
Yeah nice compressor but for my home way to expensive. When they first came out the price was somewhere around $1100 or $1400 and now is over $2000. ouch . no thanks. And let me guess, Made in China.
