Title: design flaw
Product review: I bought 2 of these compressors - one for me and one for my son. Each of our compressors has failed in the identical fashion, his multiple times. I think the basic compressor, i.e. the electric motor and vane compressor, is quite solid, but the control circuit which turns the motor on and off is quite cheesy and prone to failure. It is also *very* expensive to replace.Since this has happened to us a total of 3 times now, this is not just a case of random failure, but is a systematic problem. A shame, too, because the rest of the tool seems quite robust. We are shopping for new compressors now. I can tell you one thing - they won't be Hitachi.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
