"I tried to find reviews on this product and could not fond one negative review. I bought one, and have been happy with it. It is surprisingly quiet and reaches pressure quickly. As long as it lasts I am satisfied."

"I PURCHASED A PUMA AIR COMPRESSOR SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND I WAS REALLY AMAZED AT HOW QUIET AND SMOOTH IT RAN. I DIDN'T BOLT IT DOWN BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WOULD VIBRATE BEFORE I DID. AFTER I SAW HOW SMOOTH IT RAN I DIDN'T HAVE TO BOLT IT DOWN. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPRESSOR TO ANYONE."

"Had this compressor about a month and love it. I researched compressors for quite a while and decided on this one. I couldn't find a negative review anywhere and so far all of the reviews were completely accurate. Have only used it for impact wrench, ratchet, and cutoff tool and runs those easily."

"Excellent product. Used in my home shop.
Please note: the hookup is pure 220 ac with no neutral used. I wired the ground to the center tap on a dryer tail and safe-ed off the neutral that normally goes to it and put the ground on the female tap in the outlet box (dryer circuit uses 3 wire with ground)."

Very Impressed

By RyanOKC
from Oklahoma City, OK
"After doing TONS of research and deciding on how much I should spend on a compressor I decided on this Puma. Not many reviews on it, but I found were mostly all good reviews. Got it home wired it up and got to work. Very quiet, dont shake much, and very powerfull. I ran my grinder for a long time and it still kept up just fine and the compressor even shut off a few times. Its well built, attractive, and for the price you cant beat it. The warranty was cheap, so I bought an addtional 2 year warranty on top of my 1 year so I have 3 years...Good compresssor!"

Puma PK6060v air compressor

January 16, 2012
By SawDustBob
from N. Texas
"I bought this compressor for my woodworking shop to replace a 28 y.o. Sears compressor. I have found it to be reliable, and much quiter than my old compressor. The compressor is used daily, 7 days a week for the last 3 months, my only gripe is that it needs a drain valve that comes out to the side instead of underneath. Best Buy for the Buck I could find."

Built Good

"I have been very satisfied with all my purchases at Northern Tool, I Purchased this Puma PK6060V Air Compressor after very careful consideration and alot of reserch. And it also fit my price range. Im a Backyard mechanic that has restored serveral Cars and trucks and even a couple Harleys. So i wanted a good Compressor for the buck. This Puma Compressor is the best quality and best built in it class and price range. Puma has a Quality Product. The puma craftsmanship by far out dose it compitistion. The only problem that i found on this compressor was the Plastic hose from the air tank to the air presure switch. It Didnt fail and works just fine, But for this caliber product i would have liked to have seen a copper line instead of the plastic. This would have put this product over the top. But its still the best compressor in its class."
