The motor features replaceable brushes in order to extend motor life and 150 PSI max pressure to allow for longer run time. It also includes 120 PSI cut-in pressure that produces 30 PSI "Bonus Air" and a High-Flo air regulator to protect against a large pressure drop.

I would have liked to purchase this item, but there are just too many unknowns. Lots of people love it and lots think it is junk, as with all the compressors I have studied. I was even able to locate SOME of the information that Amazon coyly omitted: The tool weighs 34#. The noise level is 82 dBA (ISO 3744). It does indeed produce 3.5 SCFM but at 40 PSI (duh) by ISO1217. It produces 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI, which is exactly what you'd expect from it's .8hp 10A motor. The troubling thing for me is the total lack of information about the warranty. Amazon says it's 'factory' reconditioned but they don't actually say it was done at the Black & Decker/DeWalt/Delta/Devilbiss/Porter Cable factory, and I have bought equipment that was refurbished in a 'factory' that had nothing to do with the manufacturer. When you look at Amazon's warranty info, it is absent. They say to check with the manufacturer. Go to DeltaPorterCable and try to find it. The word 'reconditioned' does not appear on their website or in their warranty documents. One reviewer said that the manufacturer would not honor any warranty since Amazon is not an authorized reseller (though this is not a condition in any of their warranty documents). They have several different warranties and it is not at all clear which one would even apply to this item in new condition. Is is the 'post-2008 warranty', the 'professional tools warranty' or the 'standard' warranty? This is just too tiresome. After reading about Amazon's poor performance when problems arose with this unit, I think I'll pass on this great price and possibly great machine.
 Reconditioned Porter-Cable Pancake Compressor August 12, 2010

I purchased the above Pancake Compressor and the 13- piece accessory kit.. I have utilized it 1X so for...and love it... I plan on using it extensively later in the fall in my shop...and I do feel it is exactly what I need to do my all my wood working requirements. The compressor cut-off and operated as prescribed. I am excited and hope that it will provide me many hours of free maintenance. I do feel that the factory-reconditioned is as good as a new one..especially since it carries the same warranty as a new one.

I purchased the C2002 WKR to replace a well used 10 year old Porter cable CF2600 120 psi 6 gallon compressor, which was overheating. With the exception of being packaged in a plain brown box (instead of the new model box printed white and red), and the small refurbished sticker on the compressor housing, my unit appears to be brand new. The box arrived in great shape with no dents or marks. I looked at a new C2002 at a big box store and it appears the plain brown refurbished box is slightly heavier than the printed new box, which is good thing if are buying on line and having it shipped.
What I like
- The oversized handle on top is a great improvement over the single sided grab pocket on the old CF2600
- The second air port is a great addition as It allows two guns to be plugged in and used at the same time.
- My model unit came with an accessory kit containing a 25' air hose and fittings so no need to go by a hose for the second air port..
- There are features on the side of the pump housing for winding up the cord, and there is a cord clip molded into the plug. No more dangling wires during transport.
- There is a cover over the pressure gages and manifold - The cord on my CF2600 would occasionally snag on the unprotected gauges.
- The unit is slightly lighter than the CF2600 it is replacing.
- The 150 psi capacity with 120 psi recharge pressure means my framing nailer in particular can run for a long time. I was applying OSB sheathing to a roof ( nailing ever 8" bang, bang, bang). By the time the air pressure got down to where the nails were not fully seated, it was time to stop and reload nails anyway. Note I run with the single shot sequential trigger. If running with the faster bump fire trigger, the compressor might not be able to fully keep up.
- Looking thru the slats in the pump housing I can see that Porter Cable has added internal ducts / baffles to improve the air flow of the cooling fan. My old unit was basically an open box with a fan at one end. On this new unit I can definitely feel a forced flow of hot air coming out the back compared to the more gentle flow on the old one.
Other comments.
- There is a warning label on the unit which says remove compressor from service (or replace tank) 10 years after date of purchase. Reason given is "Risk of Bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture". Owners manual instructs "Drain air tank daily or after each use." : Realistically speaking even purging tank after each use won't get out 100% of the water, so after ten years it is probably a good idea to retire the unit. Thus if the service life is only 10 years, saving the extra $$$ by buying a refurbished unit makes sense.
Very happy with the performance so far.
Amazing! July 25, 2010

This is a great product and a great deal! I was so amazed when I received this item and took it out of the box. It has unbelievable features and power. We used it right away with our Porter Cable nailer and stapler and expected it to recycle at least once while we installed over 200 wood planks in our laundry room. Not a peep and our nail gun seemed to work smoother than before. Recommend this to anyone and it saved us $80 and we didn't have to deal with the shenanigans at Home Depot!
Better than expected July 25, 2010

For a reconditioned unit, I was pleasantly suprised that the unit looked new! Everything worked as it should and the unit is very powerful and recharges quickly. They couldhave packaged it better, but it made it ok...
