DO NOT BUY This Air Compressor Ingersoll Rand 5HP 80 Gal 2 Stage Review

I bought one like this one at tractor supply 11 years ago and never had any problems. Thanks.

can you see the discolored winding? you have a shorted winding.

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Customer service to me what makes or break a company.

Moral of the story. Want a job well done. Do it yourself.

I have the same compressor. 15 years old. The original motor lasted 6 months. The replacement lasted 13 years problem free till it blew. Discovered the main issue is that it really needs a magnetic starter not the one in the pressure switch. The motor I replaced it with is the same that you used. Only lasted 13 months just past warranty. Well all better now a new 5 hp but much larger heavier motor (Weg) and a magnetic starter from compressor source. What a difference it is quite apparent the difference from the others very heavy duty. Went from a 5/8” shaft to a 7/8” shaft and a new pulley it is set to start at 145 psi and shut off at 175 psi. It starts just as strong at 145 as 0. The tech at compressor source is extremely knowledgeable! The only mod I had to make were a few new holes for mounting and a larger belt because of the new motor size had to move it back a bit. Better than new!!!

Hi Tom, I'm sorry you've had bad luck with your air compressor. But, it's great that you fixed it. My compressor looks just like yours. I bought it in 2003. It's an IR type 30 model TS4L5. The fact that it's 17yrs old make ALL the difference. 100% U.S.A. I've had zero issues all this time. I hope you have no more problems. Good luck

Get a Baldor motor.

Almost bought one of those about 3 years ago, glad I didn't. Found a year old T30 series for $600. Your belt is too loose, you can hear it squeal on start up.

Anytime a motor goes bad on a newer compressor like this I always replace the two pole motor with a four pole one.Two pole motors run at high speed and need big capacitors and high current to start which causes them to fail sooner.Four pole motors run slower but have more starting torque.The only thing is you have to get a bigger motor pulley and a different belt.

I purchased mine from tsc in 2019. Painting cabinet parts and other daily tasks in the woodshop. Recently sandblasting some aluminum wheels. Sorry you had trouble with yours thanks for the vid

I've been in the market for a good 60 gallon 2 stage upright. I spoke with a local shop they use Bel-Air compressors in their shop with zero issues. Excellent customer service and the best warranty 3yrs bumper to bumper. Thanks for the great video. 👍

I've had mine for 9 years and not a moments trouble. I have it plumbed to my shop, my garage and my spray room. Works without fail.

Thank you for making this video!

Thank you for this video. I paid more and bought an EMAX. I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for posting the video, I was looking at those units the other day. Many techs will replace both the start/run capacitor and the motor together, because they are not confident that testing a cap with a multimeter is sensitive enough. There are other ways to check capacitors, for example ESR meters, but it turns out, no test is perfect. The price on those capacitors is so small it is considered good practice to simply replace them with the motor.

I’ve had this same compressor for 4 years or so and never had a lick of trouble with it. If the motor went bad tho first thing I would do would be go grab a ballador motor for it. Those are all made in China and just ASSEMBLED in the US.... cheap junk really but knock on wood mines been fine

Great feedback! Thank you

Got the same one have had it almost 2 yrs without issue (yet). I'm hoping I just got lucky with the unit

Start capacitor, same thing happened to mine. Works well now.

I have same one. Did same thing. Took caps to be tested. They tested good. Replaced them anyway and has been running perfect for over a year
