Mastercraft 3-Gallon Electric Air Compressor

Didn’t realize that all part needed were not in box. Had to drive 30 minute to and 30 minutes back to get all the parts I needed .

Works great, builds pressure fast.

I bought this to blow out my sprinklers for winterizing. It does not pump enough air even though it is nominally 2hp. My older 8 gallon compressor like this had plenty of air flow, also with a 2hp compressor. The detailed specs for this machine actually say that the maximum flow is 3 CFM, which is the same as the 40 psi flow. That makes no sense. The 8 gallon tank version, also 2hp, has slightly higher flows of 5 CFM at 40 psi, but max flow is 303 cfm, i.e. 100 times as much. The specs seem to reflect my experience, but the limited low pressure flow makes no sense for a 2hp compressor. So it appears that the control system is at fault, limiting the flow rate to the 40 psi flow rate, even for low pressure flow. So...... this is a strange machine. Lots of power, but very low flow at low pressures. Useless to me. Can Tire did accept my return, a couple of days after buying it. I will buy the larger machine now. Same 2hp compressor, same high pressure flow, smaller tank, but 100x the low pressure flow in the specs, but a lot bulkier.

I had this machine. It worked for a little while then out of the blue. Would not start . There is no reset so icannot image what the problem was. Thank god for the 3 yr warrenty

so far so good works fine
