Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

I purchased this motor about 7 months ago and it quit working (sparking & smoking). I have been trying for 2 weeks to get in contact with the seller regarding warranty, after several phone calls and emails, no response. If you're thinking of purchase anything from this seller beware that you will be on your own, good prices but no warranty or customer service.
This thing constantly over heats and is worthless. Overheats after 25 minutes of running. Air compressor it's self works great. New replacement motor is garbage!! Tried contacting Amazon and its outta warranty already i guess. Got it then two weeks later i put it in place and instant problems. Don't buy it!
Two things I disliked about the product was the mounting holes did not align with the holes on the compressor ( I had to make an adapter) and the protective pulley/belt covering didn't line up.
The left/right alignment of the motor mount looks pretty straight, so it doesn’t appear the shaft is spinning at an angle to the Compressor flywheel. There does seem to be more vibration then the exact same motor that came with it. Even marked the previous bolts and lined these up in the same spot to make sure we had proper tension on the belt. I just reached out to the manufacturer through Amazon. Will update once they respond.
Don't waste your money, the duty cycle is weak overheating and needing to cool to reset. I can't run the sand blaster but I can run the shop normal air tools. The original I R motor lasted 8 years. I have replaced this one 2x. in 6 months I should have spent better money to get a good one the first time. No warranty
