Porter-Cable C7550 80-Gallon 30-Amp 6-Horsepower Oiled Vertical Compressor

The Porter-Cable C7550 80 Gallon Oil-Lube Air Compressor is an industrial air compressor that offers powerful 5.4 (running) HP and 175 PSI air pressure to run just about any kind of air tool.

Air delivery is solid at 90 PSI – 12.9 at 175 PSI SCFM–meaning, less downtime waiting for the compressor to recharge and more time actually using your air tools. The C7550 not only boasts industrial-grade performance, but it also has many features that increase its durability and lifespan. The two-stage, oil lubricated Twin-V cast iron pump greatly increases lifespan and overall reliability, and the pump contains automotive-style pistons, rings, and connecting rods that help to extend the lifespan of the C7550.

Same as a devilbiss model with certified tank, February 5, 2008
By Upper Michigan user “Joygear” (Marquette, MI United States)

Purchased only 3 weeks ago,works great. WEG 23amp motor and UnoAir full cast iron pump runs at 1200rpm and is a little loud but acceptable. The clear plastic oil sight glass on mine needed tightening but was easily readable. This compressor uses a single belt drive, no mag starter or finned after/inter coolers like more expensive models. There is only one air outlet at the top of the tank.

All this considered and with sale prices around $850 shipped this is a solid value for you gear-heads or the small/medium shop or garage. It appears to be well built to last a many, many years.

Update on compressor as of 9 18 08.
I have had this over 7 months. I did a lot of shop work and even restored and painted a car. Compressor is still working great with only 1 problem being the drive pulley came loose but was caught by the guard. It seems everything you buy these days needs an inspection before and again after some run time. I reassembled with a little lock-tite on the key way set screw and it’s been fine. Still think it’s a bargin.

Great so far, September 28, 2009

Compressor was just delivered a couple of days ago. Arrived in perfect shape without any damage at all and was already full of oil. However, it was missing the globe valve. I wired it and started it up today, it seemed to run fine. It is a little noisy, but is to be expected with a monster-sized compressor like this. It flows a ton of air and could pretty much keep up with a siphon sandblasting rig that I tried, pretty impressive.

It could be something rattling, but I do hear an intermittent clicking/knocking noise from time to time. This is a little alarming due to the negative review stating that these compressors may have a design defect. I will update later when I change the oil and check for metal shavings, etc. So far, compressor seems to be running great.
