Kaishan Compressor USAReviews of kaishanusa.com

Installed a 700 hp unit for a customer. First impressions are poor. Build quality is sub par, maintenance costs on just a quarterly are obnoxiously high. Annual pm is in the 10k range and this machine stays in an emergency state. Over pressure, over temp etc. machine is down more than it runs. Buyer beware, buy a trusted brand.

Buyer beware. 2-3 Years ago I decided to replace the 40 year old Saylor Beall 9000 that has been running my body shop since 1991(it was used when we got it). I contacted a dealer and they sold me a Kaishan rotary screw compressor. Almost immediately I had buyers remorse. My power bill increased by 25% and quarterly service is 5 times than what I was paying on a piston unit. So much that I decided the money I saved doing service myself would offset the cost of a new compressor in just 2.5 years. Now here I am, already down, running oil a rental and buying diesel every 2 days shopping around for another new compressor. Kaishan refuse to sell parts to my repair company because they aren't an authorized dealer and the dealer I used is no longer a Kaishan dealer(their customer serve turned out to be terrible after the sale as well). I will be selling this as a used machine in need of repair, cutting my losses and buying an American made piston machine. Don't make the same mistake I made & steer clear of Kaishan.
