They just came out with a version 3 update. The parts can go on an old version. I just ordered them today. I would look into it if you still have it. I think they did a video about it on youtube.

Are these comments still relevant to the product that Eastwood currently sells?

Thanks for the review! I was considering one of these. Yes, I have known it as a "cherry picker" since the '60s.

The rag is the wrong solution. They should have just had you replace the pressure switch with one that has both inlet and outlet connections on the unloader valve, rather than the kind that just vents through a pinhole right under the switch box. That way, you can run 1/4" hose away from the switch and have that wet air blast go wherever you want.. like out the window, or into a bucket. A wet rag sitting against the machine 24/7 is just going to cause corrosion there eventually.

I don't know anyone who is happy with this compressor.

Great review, thanks for the information and feedback.

Paint and body guy Eastwood has always been shit

This video is not truthful. Just downright deceitful. You show yourself unboxing a new compressor and then show a heavily used old generation compressor. That you probably bought second hand and got burned on. How do I know. Well I have both an old and a new and they work fine. The one that you show that has a cover and has a grey oil tank is the old unit. New ones don’t have the cover and the oil tank is black. The new ones come with an oil catch can. This machine is and old unit that has been not maintained. Oil in the air tank is from not changing the moisture filter and not checking the oil levels. So if you’re going to be deceitful and lie at least do your homework. And I don’t think anyone will believe that the compressor that you show is new. Crazy!

Install an automatic bottom drain. Some of your complaints are not realistic. I’ve ran, installed, and maintained a number of different brands, types and sizes of compressors. They all produce water in the air. They all need to be drained, they all require regular maintenance. Even that Quincy you want will require weekly maintenance.

A year later mine still works like a charm. My pressure switch would not shut off, but i found that it was just set too high for the cut-off pressure. A little adjustment is all it took. Add an automatic drain valve to the bottom of the tank; electronic or pneumatic controlled and you never have to drain the tank. Make sure to run the compressor long enough to let the oil heat up; so that the moisture can evaporate and move to the air tank. If you are only running it for 5 minutes to fill up your tires; you will have issues.

Is all the water in that tub from just this draining?! Holy crap! Just buy the smallest screw without a tank. I finally bought my dream compressor, a QRS10 with a refrigerator dryer.

Yeah, so any thought I had of buying one of these just flew out the window. What a PITA and what a mess. No way this thing is going to last a decade or more like any decent piston compressor will.

I've had mine for 10 months and it is pretty much dead. I called Eastwood and it took them 3 days to call back and they said they would have to send it to engineering to figure out. They mentioned a replacement unit. I had to go buy a couple of different air compressors to keep my shop running. I'll be looking for a different solution than Eastwood.

Do you still have this laser? And if so would you still recommend it ?

I was considering one of these today.... thanks for the information!

Can I ask you, how does that take half an hour to do? Like do you count the coffee break to that time or..?

I initially loved this compressor because of how quiet it was but now I have major buyers remorse after the water/oil mixing issues ive had with it. My power switch broke too. Will never buy an eastwood compressor again honestly what a piece of shit.

Yes, I've always heard engine hoists called "cherry pickers" but I grew up in Northern Maryland.

How often did you drain the water from your old compressor? That needs to be done regularly, too. Many people put automatically operating drain valves on the bottom of their tanks. Too bad they're not standard equipment.

Cherry picker is legit in Utah

I’ve heard people having having the same experiences you had . I personally have owned one of these for almost 2 years now. The only thing I’ve ever replaced is the switch, and they actually sent me a new one with the machine and recommended that I swap them out. As far as the water collection goes, you were talking about I have almost no water in my oil whatsoever. I do run my air compressor a lot I’m thinking, maybe the heat burns most of the water vapor off although I can’t be sure, I’ve had no oil coming out near the pressure switch. One thing I do put on all of my compressors and maybe this helps I put an automatic drain assembly on all of my air compressors that will actually drain any water condensate out of the bottom every 45min to an hour. Maybe that’s one of the key factors that’s helping me have a good experience anyway, I wish you guys the best. Hope you have good luck too.

Buy a vane compressor. Hydrovane. They run 1800 rpm not 5000-6000 like a screw compressor. Quiet, won't fill your shop with smoke and fire like this POS

This is a scroll compressor. It literally says it on the side.

To keep that filter bag on, think about putting / increasing the foam weatherstripping / gasket under where it clamps

Looks great! Seems so simple too, thanks!!

Cherry picker here in Idaho too

Thanks for the review. A suggestion: replace the bag with a five gallon bucket and Gamma Seal lid. The lid allows the bucket to be screwed on and off easily. The PatriotDIY channel on RUclips has a video showing how to do this, Stumpy Nubs has at least two or three. If a five gallon bucket seems too small, I’m sure you could work out how to use something larger, perhaps seven gal or ten - pretty sure they use the same size lids - or go to something even larger. Best wishes!

Use spray adhesive on the bag before u put it on the filter

Well it's a pain, but for $2k, if that's all you can afford... Seems tolerable. There isn't anything new available for $3-5k. Everything decent seems to be $8k minimum nowadays.

Sure go ahead, raise your kids, spoil your grand kids, and don’t complain when you get cut off and no contact

GS Compressor 42 cfm 10 hp single phase. I would add an elbow and a 6 inch nipple and then the ball valve on the tank bottom.

Flip your cyclone handle the other way around and you can clean in 360 degrees.

That's why I assemble (a lot) cyclones sideways or even upside down. I'm not saying it's easy it's still pretty difficult but it keeps you from going nuts.

Wow!! Super cool wendy!!! That looked much better!!! Hope you're doing well former Plum Lake hooligan😂

Who ever trained you how to maintain a air compressor? They obviously didn’t explain it very well.

Oh God not a half hour a month! How would I live with myself. I might have to give up watching random RUclips videos for 30 min in exchange for a super quiet compressor.

I was gonna buy one but after reading all the negative reviews on this I just can't. I'll get a standard 60 gallon 2 stage 5 hp single phase. I was looking at the DeWalt at my Fleet Farm. Model DXCMV5076055 for $1699.99. Anyone have any personal use on this model they want to share? Also I'm 60 years old, have been a mechanic all my life, was a radar technician in the Air Force and am currently an Electro-Mechanical Technician. I have always called these "cherry pickers" as well as most everyone I know. We call them engine hoists too! But thanks for this video. People need to see this. I have just written Eastwood to see if they have fixed these issues as well.

it's a cheery picker for sure..NYer here

Not good for medium to high humidity areas. Maybe Arizona would be good. I drain once a month, depending on usage. Oil refill topoffs adds to cost of operation. Like the quiet operation.

I don’t plan on using a lot of air all the time. I think the smartest thing to do is to buy the quietest 30 gallon compressor. I’m going to start with two units and hook them up in parallel pneumatically, and maybe go with three units if I need a lot of cfm. I can replace, move, and multiply if need be. I was thinking about purchasing this scroll compressor, but reliability is the most important factor in my purchase.

So the supposed fix for the switch issue is a drain bottle, lol. I would just attach a longer tube and let it drain into a milk jug. Then cap and recycle as needed. As for draining, it can be VERY easy. 1. Get an auto drain valve for the bottom Mechanical or electrical, your choice. Run the tube into your pan or an old milk jug. 2. For the oil, just get a longer drain tube that runs into the pail itself. 3. Topping off the oil, OMG at the procedure. People got lazy with the regular compressor changing their oil once every 5-10 years.

Originally from New Jersey here and instinctively refer to it as a cherry picker but will adjust the term to engine hoist depending on who I'm talking to. I keep hearing negative things about the QST 30/60 and probably will go with a standard 60 gallon compressor that is louder and much cheaper but more maintenance-free and less worries. Thanks for sharing this info! 👍

You need some new onrs

I’ve always drained my tanks daily. I don’t see how that process takes 30 minutes but then again it did take you a long time to jab that Tupperware in there. Find a better fitting drain pan for the bottom and extend that clear hose to reach it and this job would take less than a minute.

I was planning on purchasing one but not anymore. Thanks

if i remember right that compressor runs hot i think if you upgrade your cooling fan, or mount a water cooled heat sink on the cooling radiator it will stop the condensation issue and it will last longer to.

Hey how's it looking now? Anything you'd do differently?

Sorry you want through this too man. Mines a pile.

Don’t buy mine went out not even a year

Awesome! The marketing folks at eastwood are good. I was tempted to buy one, but the abundance of paid promos made me suspect. You confirmed my suspicions. Im running a 1959 (model year) Gardner Denver that runs like a dream. Thanks for the vid. Cheers
