Husky model # 417270 26 gal. 1.5 running hp

I purchased this compressor at the home depot in auburn, Maine on or about 7/05/2007 after about 5 hrs of actual use (air gun,one pint of paint)that about sums up what it was used for, the compressor burnt out,quit,stopped running.

I brought the compressor to the Home Depot where I purchased it and they sent it out to be checked out to determine what was wrong with it. I was told that the motor was burnt out and several other things that had broken down and it would cost over $300.00 to repair. I bought it for $289.00.

The warranty is just about two months expired. Now that's what I call "THE TOUGHEST NAME IN TOOLS" I don't know where this piece of junk was made but I hope it wasn't in the USA. My advice to anyone who reads this, if it actually gets posted, is to steer clear of anything with the name "HUSKY" on it. I just read the guidelines and it appears that this company does not want the truth to be told. Maybe the AG office can help me out with this one.
