Champion Air Compressor
1/15/16
We just purchased a new Champion air compressor. 3 months in the 7.5 HP Baldor motor died. Most of our equipment needs air supply to run so our shop is now down for the next 5 days while they ship a new motor. I am very frustrated with companies that sell you expensive equipment with a warranty but if they actually need to do anything for that warranty they take their sweet time while the customer suffers.
Just venting...

I know how you feel. Our shop would come to a screeching halt w/o air. To cover our behinds we have a 2nd, smaller (10hp) compressor that will at least allow most things to keep running. In addition to being a backup it provides more storage for the main compressor.

When we first got up and running I bought 2 5hp piston compressors, Once it became apparent how much we relied on clean dry air I bought a 10hp Atlas Copco rotary screw from a local dealer. Best money I've spent by far!!
The benefit I soon realized by going with the local guy is that he would bring me a loaner in a days notice if it were to go down...
