Puma 3HP 60 Gallon
By Michael J.
Wisconsin
Purchased 01/07/2025 |
Review Posted 02/04/2025
Very good machine so far. Easy set up and delivered intact. Break in was easy, belt was already tensioned. I hooked it up to a PrimeFit air pipe system in my shop and it has worked as expected. Compared to older compressors, even my little pancake, it is less noisy. And made or assembled in USA. BTW, get the extended warranty if you plan to use it regularly. Puma!

Compressor came very well packed. No problems. Runs all impacts, sanders, and bench bead blaster easily. Excellent quality & performance! Has nice, finned piping for cooling & find it nice & quiet. Check it with a decibel meter 5 feet away, 72 decibels. About as loud as a vacuum cleaner. I have looked at a lot of compressors & found this one best meets my needs.

Happy Puma PK-6060V Owner
By Kurt N.
Montgomery, Texas
Review Posted 10/29/2021
I have had my PK-6060V for almost 3 years. I have been completely happy with it. I am a serious home hobbyist and use my Puma to run sandblasters, angle and die grinders, drills, nail guns, and of course air wrenches. It has no trouble keeping up with demand, even for sandblasting. I am impressed with how quietly it runs. I like the water drain on the bottom of it and how they have an oil drain extension on the pump so that you can change the oil without making a big mess. This is a good unit.

Extremely Satisfied.

Review Posted 10/07/2021
Shopped for months for a residential compressor for my garage. This Puma has impressed me for all it's ability and easy set up. Using it for HVLP guns, impact wrenches and more. The best part is how quiet this one is! Other reviews also mentioned getting the lift gate for delivery and I agree. It's a heavy unit.

Compressor arrived when expected, with good delivery service. Only issues were oil was overfilled & motor pulley was not tightened to shaft. Both issues were easy to fix. I would purchase this compressor again.

Great Compressor Buying Experience
By Mike J.
Woodland, California
Purchased 04/17/2020 |
Review Posted 05/14/2020
I did a lot of research on compressors prior to ordering this Puma 60gal unit. There were a number of reviews that criticized Air Compressors Direct for very long shipping times but my experience was excellent. The compressor arrived on the original expected delivery date and the driver even brought it into the garage for me. Compressor arrived in excellent condition on 2 pallets and wrapped in bubble wrap. After moving to the final location and connecting electrical and airlines, filter and water/oil trap it started and ran smoothly and relatively quiet. After break-in period the system has been holding pressure for multiple days between use. It runs much quieter than my old 8 gal no name compressor and has no vibration at all. So far I am very satisfied with my Puma compressor and Air Compressors Direct and would order from them again.
