Does anyone that has this have issues with moisture? I have to drain the oil tank every two weeks (not the air, the oil). I'm really not enjoying this, I'm worried the water oil mixture will reduce it's lifespan. My old ingersoll piston was maintenance free for 34 years; so this isn't a good start for me. Not enjoying it enough to compensate for reduced noise.
Yes I have that issue as well. I've had this unit for 10 months and having major problems. It took them over a week to call me back to diagnose the issues. They are sending parts which I hope fixes it. I will fix it and sell it and buy something else. I do not recommend this compressor.
People complaining about the price must have never done any serious work, or are deaf. I'd happily pay an extra thousand to not be driven insane by noise.
The name is 30/60 because its the size of a 30 gallon compressor with the performance of a 60 gallon. "Twelve point seven slash ninety" doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same way. But yes it's a great product.
We recommend changing these yearly. In the past we have suggested longer intervals for some of these, but found that three years is too long between intervals.
Understood, but I probably use less than 20 hours at home per year. I would still have to replace it, even if I used only 10-30 hours of service in a year? The reason why I want to know is because I am wondering if excessive or constant water accumulation in the oil tank is caused directly from delaying to change this filter? I really like this technology, but I am worried after seeing what other customers are going through.

It's capable of running a small shop, so much beefier than similarly sized competitor machines. AND it's sooo quiet. Currently 1,999 on our site: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-elite-qst-30-60-scroll-air-compressor-with-quiet-technology.html
so you use an insanely loud oilless type compressor which we all know is the worst there is. I don't know anyone who uses one of those in a shop. bring down the cost of these units and they'll fly off the shelves.

The older I get the more I want to be comfortable when in the shop. Compressor, vac, HVAC, air quality...so definitely on my wish list.
Shit im 26 and i want clean, quiet, efficient, i only get one set of ears, eyes lungs. Plus I'm in a better mood and work more efficiently.

Interesting theory. I would guess they don't have the "extra thousand" to "happily" throw around.
$2300 would buy a lot of ear plugs
No consideration for anyone around you. Are you my neighbor?
I have a Screw compressor 175 CFM at 100 PSI .. 4 cylinder gasoline IH engine
Looks like a great product. Change the name to something that we care about. Try QST Scroll -12.7/90 so we don't have to go find that info.

If i imported one to the uk would you warrenty the unit ?
110v or 220v plug
Motor is a 220v motor the unit comes with no plug on the end
Check at 2:02. He says 240 volt.
How often do you have to replace the moisture separator spin on $60 + shipping + tax filter?

honestly I thought the old style would be about 100 db
Awesome product
Nice
$2500 on Amazon....wow, that seems very high

Looks like a super charger out of a G60 corrado. If it truly performs that well at that size the price is t that bad.
It's a robust compressor for it's footprint and price. We love the QST 30/60.
So that's the fix to the problems from years ago is the drain kit? Is there any other design changes that makes this compressor worthwhile?
We're constantly working on improving our products, the drain kit was a major improvement, eliminating the "dog house" cover was another.
Great compressor, but the average DIY would most likely never be able to afford it. Even at half the price, it would be hard to swallow.
Poverty mentality. A few side jobs and you'd be about buy it no problem.

you get what you pay for
It's a shop turbo lol
