Any reviews? How is it lasting? How frequently do the buyers actually use them?

Ive pounded mine. Rebuilt it numerous times. Filled more tanks than I could keep track of. Seems I can get 15-20 hrs before I need to replace something. Usually the back-check orings. For the most part, it takes me longer to figure out that there was something wrong (longer than normal fill times) than to correct it.Originally posted by mpsd -
Wait. You have to replace an o-ring every 20 hours? I thought it would take almost that to fill a 68/45 tank...
And thanks for your answer.

Nah, it takes 2-3 hrs to fill a tank. 15-20 hrs to fill a scuba.Comment

The forums for the shoebox compressor are now here...
I am waiting for mine. It's one of the new batch just being made.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know Tom had a forum built just for the ShoeBox. I'll certainly be following it up.Originally posted by manikeThe forums for the shoebox compressor are now here...

I have understood from word of mouth that they haven't been holding up too well. Given that they were made pretty much from binparts from a supply house, rather than being designed straight out. Like BE said, they are supposedly very easy to fix and repair, but the feeling I got was the forum was moved so that people would not associate the problems and issues being had with the shoebox back to AGD.
I don't own one, just the take I got from some reading and speaking to a few owners. Overall it is still the only piece of equipment exactly like it, so if you want to fill at home on the cheap this is where it is at.Comment

That's funny because I have been amazed that I haven't had more people contact me with problems. If you go read the shoebox forums you will see that its pretty quiet over there.
I created a new forum on a new server because this one is hopelessly old on an ancient computer and not worth even upgrading from what Delaware tells me (we own the computer in the rack).

I have yet to use mine. I hope to try it next week. It has been collecting dust for months.Comment

The forums for the SB on AO were dead too. Last thing that can remember being posted in a very long while was what AGD post about the new forums. I know a few people that have one, besides BE having an issue right in the beginning which was fixed, everyones i knew had nothing but positive things to say about it.
Not sure what Cat is talking about

I haven't posted on the shoebox forums in a while simply because I haven't had any problems with mine. I keep two tanks full, but I rarely play. It serves it's purpose perfectly for which I just wanted a home compressor to top off my tanks to test markers and fill them to play in the woods with friends. I have probably filled tanks about 20 times so far, so I can hardly say mine is thoroughly tested.Comment

I have 6 scubas that are still full. They are getting low so I will probability fire it up sometime next week after finals. I guess I need to read up on where to lube everything.Originally posted by robertsr1811Comment

LOL after all these years of saying, Hey TK the Mag, Flatline, Warp and HP sucks. I get to say, Hey TK the ShoeBox blows.

Did you also had to do any maintenance on yours? How is it holding up with it's 60 to 80 hours use (20 tanks - 3 to 4 hours each)?Originally posted by Zone DrifterComment
