Has anyone gotten more than 3 yrs on a compressor without it failing? My omega air charger just started making weird noise and im not sure what to do next. To me it sounds like the motor possible in which case ill probably buy new.

Check your fan, bearings ,clean it Isolate where the noise is coming from. It's like working on a car

I got my GX E-L2 in March '22. Still going. 30+ hours. Resealed the piston this summer.

Tried a water cooled Vevor. It lasted 3 hours. Poorly designed junk!

looks super nice. I blew through 3 junk compressors, back in the day. first 1 was an air venturi NOMAD. It took for ever & A day. It was loud & proud !!!! Congradulations. It's dreadful when a Copressor goes. Panic mode sets in .

My omega seems to be well built sealed bearings-on crankshaft but bottom of con rod is blue and i really don't think they heat treated the rod

As a L1 Master tech ,owning my own Gas Station / Automotive repair / & MA State Inspection . I've seen it all. Things are not built to last. P.M is key to longevity

I’ve only had two compressors. Both GX, the first one lasted just outside of the warranty. But in all fairness, I was abusing it.

I finaly broke down & sprung for & Alkin, vertical 220volt. I new it was going to pay for itself in do time .I fill 2 tanks without a hickup. I also knew I was going to do this Hobby / sport for a long time coming. I purchased the compressor from EDIN himself, with auto/shut off like he suggested for safety. IT came on a pallet dropped shipped, completely wrapped. BIG BOY GIFT to myself!!!!!!
