A lot of compressor for the $$$$
I haven't used this much, but it ran great out of the box, pressured the tank up to about 100 psi in about 5 minutes when it shut off. Then I carried it easily to my car to pressure up the tires. The pressure fell to around 60 psi after all tires were done. That was a couple weeks ago and the tank's pressure is still holding at 60 psi.

Evolv Compressor is OK at the new price

A couple weeks ago (8/12) I picked up one of these units.  My tasks involve inflating auto and bicycle tires, blowing out computers, keyboards, shoes, vehicles, and other hard to dust areas.

My unit had a noticeable leak in the quick release fitting and I ended up buying a new set of connectors to quickly solve the problem. 

Once repaired, the unit was fairly loud for its ability, discharged rapidly (within 20-30 seconds) when used for dusting and blowing, and takes about 2-3 minutes to fill the tank again. 

For light carpentry, the brad nailer is reasonable. Due to the low CFM you will run into lots of tools that require more pressure than this unit can provide.

I ended up returning the unit after they dropped the price ($10 short of a 50% price drop).

After researching a bit, I ordered the Ingersoll Rand Twinstack 2HP as it produces 4.4CFM and is the best reviewed unit I was able to find under $300. It'll last the rest of my lifetime if I treat it well and I won't have to "Evolv" again to know what a good performing compressor is.

One last note, while the IR Twinstack is available via the Sears marketplace, goofballs have listed it for well over the going price elsewhere and want a bill and a half for shipping which is also free at the largest online marketplace.

TL:DR (Summary)
I really wanted to enjoy this portable compressor and I might still own it if the original price was as low as it is now. Since I had to return it, I decided to invest the money spent into a solid Ingersoll Rand compressor. If the IR is too pricey, hit up the Porter Cable pancake as it is a much better unit. Watch for shipping!

Not bad for the price

Just picked this one up from Sears and used it to inflate my SUV tires. I tried inflating one tire at the gas station using their free pump but it took over 10 minutes for one tire. This compressor is quiet enough and had no problem inflating the SUV tires. I havent used the brad gun yet. Saw a similar one for around the same price at a different store, but it didnt include any accessories. Buy the Sears 3-year warranty for only 10 bucks just in case.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Replaced old 1 gallon compressor with this one

I was in the middle of putting up some trim and paneling in a back porch. I had used my old 1 gallon compressor to install some trim along baseboards in a house we are working on. I got through that with no problems. The next day I went to use the old compressor and it would not work. It would turn on but would not keep air in the tank. I went to the Sears home store in Rosemount, MN and found this one that included a Brad nailer. This one is amazing, it is just what I was looking for to finish this job. Yes the motor is a bit loud when its inside, but other than that it is perfect for the weekend handyman projects.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Piece of junk , do not waste your money.

This thing never got up to 100 psi as stated and secondly if you need more than a short burst of air you wont get it . I took this thing back and got my money back.

Ok for small tasks in garage

It's ok for simple things aroundthe house like putting air in tires, sports equipment, air mattresses, etc. But, don't expect to be able to blow something off for more than 4 or 5 seconds without having to refill tank. I haven't tried the brad nailer but I hear you have to wait several seconds between nails. The hose that comes with the kit it brittle. You might as well go ahead and purchase a replacement rubber hose with it. The other attachments are sufficient though. Not worth $100 as far as I'm concerned.

Compact - Excellent Size for Painting

This compact compressor was purchase solely for maneuverability, light weight, and small size. This makes it ideal for painting the condo's without having to haul the large shop model up and down the stairs. Our painter was very happy to finally get a good portable unit just for his use.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Not Bad

This compressor is not bad. I have used it with a full size nailer and it gets the job done. The hose that came with it is cheap and trashed it. The brad nailer works good. Yes this compressor is noisy but for a small compressor that can air up tire or run a nailer (for a short time) it is worth the money.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
