Great Unit Jun 24, 2010
I am very happy with this unit. As stated in one of the other reviews you may pay less for other units but I loved the fact the trucking company delivered it and put it in my garage for me. This is because I have a fairly steep driveway and would have been a pain to move it up there myself.
My unit came completely unscathed from the warehouse but the air filter and retainer housing had somehow become detached and lost along the way. I called Maxxus and they sent out the replacement parts at no charge. The unit did come with compressor oil and all the other parts needed except the mounting plates for the floor and whatever you need to wire it up.
All I had to do was bolt it down and wire a plug on to it and then run it for its 30 minute break in.
I should say the paper work and instructions are a little hard to follow as they are for multiple variations of this compressor. Also my unit did not have the hose hanger that shows on the picture on Amazon but no big deal.
So far it is working like a champ.

Great compressor- mixed service Mar 31, 2010
I bought this compressor knowing it was American made and having had smaller Cambell Hausfeld compressors before, I knew it would be good quality and hoped the service would be good.
It was shipped to my house bolted to a pallet and covered in a cardboard box. In big letters it said "Do not lay on side- Ship upright", because it only had an 1/8" of corrugated cardboard protecting it. It came by ABF common carrier (you can see where this is going) and because the vast majority of the weight is up on top, it fell over and was damaged. After a bunch of rigamarole I ended up calling CH's warranty service center, which has an office within driving distance of me. Turns out that where the techs are dispatched from- the call center is in India. The service center is a generic appliance repair service. The people who answer the phone have probably never seen an air compressor in their lives and the standard answer is 2 weeks. 2 weeks for a tech to come out, 2 weeks to order the parts, 2 weeks to come out and install the parts. Only problem, it took them 3 months to get the parts. I called them multiple times and it was always 2 weeks. By this point I was pissed off and just ran the compressor with no guard and a dinged pulley and a tank shutoff that didn't shutoff. The tech finally made it back and replaced the switch and half the guard, which fixed 1/3 of the problem. It finally shredded a belt and I called Cambell Hausfeld in Ohio (which I should have done much earlier- my fault for being pissed) The tech guy there knew exactly what the problem was and overnighted me the parts for free. After I told him how disappointed I was and said I regretted not buying the ugly red Chinese one at Home Depot, he lightly scolded me for not calling sooner and obviously didn't like the vended out warranty service representing his company. This is a year ago now.
Advice- if needed, don't use their warranty service, just call CH in Ohio and do the work yourself.
So, now it works great- kind of noisy, because it's big and powerful. Packaging sucks and caused my whole problem. Also, it needs to be bolted to the floor and a rubber vibration isolation kit from CH is needed and not included.
Ironically the warranty service company is called American Repair Specialists- I didn't speak to an American the whole time, even the local toaster tech was from Nicaragua.

Maxus versus Husky/other Campbell, and Kobalt Mar 22, 2009
So I bought the Maxus, and it's a great compressor. But what it can do is in the specs, and since they are the same as the specs for every other lower priced version of this Campbell compressor, I don't think they're a reason to buy the Maxus version. But I do think it's a great compressor and worth the price premium, and I'll tell you why so you can see if it's also true for you.
The least expensive of the Campbell versions is the Husky at HomeDepot for $430. TractorSupply Company sells the Campbell labeled version for $439, and I think it has the full sized mounting platform for the pump, unlike the shorter version on the ones sold by HomeDepot (it's also a really cool yellow color). The other easy to find competitor is the Kobalt at Lowes, which has a slightly higher CFM rating. I suspect, but don't know, that it is similar in quality to the Husky/Campbell.
So why consider paying $700 for the Maxus, not $430 for the Husky (or $470 for the Kobalt)?
Well, first off, the $430 Husky doesn't really cost $430. You have to buy a pressure cut off switch and a regulator. A Square D pressure switch for the compressor will set you back $30-40. A decent regulator another $35 on ebay, a bit more elsewhere. So now your cost is actually $500. The Kobalt has a pressure switch so you just need the regulator and ball valve, so the math is about the same. Add in tax/S&H and they're right $530. Still $170 less than my Maxus.
Of course my Maxus came to my door. If I driven to homedepot, bought it, loaded it on a pickup, driven it home, and unloaded it, I figure it'd take 1 1/2 to 2 hours easy. Then I'd have had to plumb it. Figure an hour more to hook up the pressure switch and the regulator. I just spent 3 or more hours plus gas. Conservative value of my time and effort? $40. Since I'd have needed help loading and unloading it, this would also have been work for my friends. Using $40 for that driving, loading, and plumbing at $40, my Maxus at $700 now looks around $130 more than the Husky or the Kobalt, since it gets delivered to your door, professionally plumbed with a regulator, 2 quick connects, and the pressure switch.
It also has a better cage around the belt drive and fan. Yeah, you need a ball valve for the tank, and you need to hard wire it like any of these, but my Maxus saved me a lot of time and effort. (edit: sorry, the ball valve actually comes with the compressor. I recently found it when I got out the manual to see how often I'm supposed to change the oil. It was in the box under some papers and the quart of extra oil I'd thrown in there.)
The Husky/Campbell versions, and the Kobalt don't have the large cage protecting the belt drive and fan, just a plastic shroud around a smaller belt. They don't have the hose hanger either, which is a nice feature.
With the Husky/Campbell or the Kobalt, I'd have gotten a great compressor, and it'd have been plumbed with one tank connected regulator. The Maxus let's me add that ball valve shutoff and a 3/8" regulator as an addition to the control panel with it's regulator and quick connects. That means I can plug two 1/4" hoses into the control panel for nailers, tools, or an airbrush, and, I can run a 3/8" hose off the tank regulator for my mini HVLP. I also got a longer warranty.
Is that worth $130? It was to me.
If you need an extra 1-2 CFM in a single stage compressor, you can look at the Kobalt from Lowes. It looks like a nice compressor, although my second choice would be the 60 gallon Chicago Pneumatic compressor. Garage-Pak lists that at $570 delivered. It comes with a pressure switch, a thermally protected motor, puts out slightly more CFM than the Campbell/Husky/Maxus, or the Kobalt, so all you'd need is the ball valve and regulator. I figure $620 total. But the Maxus had more CFM than I needed, a better warranty, it's the least hassle to get it up and running, and I thought it had the most useful features.
Hope this little write up helps you with your decision.
Good luck,
Todd
