I got a 20 gallon, 5hp belt drive on wheels when I built my house 6
years ago. It had a problem with the release valve a year ago, replaced
it ($15) and it still running great. I think is finally getting broken
in, runs better now (read less noise) then ever. Good value. That
said, I have CH impact driver and it does just enough for me that I
don't through it away; I don't think that comes as a surpise to anyone
and not me either.

Are there any known problems with quality with this particular brand?

I've got a 4gal, oil-less, double hot dog (sorry, don't know the
technical terms) extreme duty, contractor grade, blah, blah, blah unit
that hasn't been used very much at all. But, the check valve seems to
be busted (based on symptoms and web site description - item #5 under
technical support). I'm in the middle of a job, deperately trying to
finish and the thing craps out (after very few hours of use). Gonna
take it in for service or return, but just wondering about reputation
(it broke so fast I suspect it's a defect; the other question is, have
they fixed the design so that it doesn't recur).
