Does anybody have problems with this compressor overheating or getting too hot?

Yes. the compressor gets too hot for the touch after a single use. I can't pack it before it cools down. On last use, the hose melted from the heat of the metal parts and ripped. Now I am forced to return it for repairs or exchange.

I would be happy to have it work at all. It's a piece of cheap chinese crap being sold as costly American sturdy.

I have mine fully loaded with equipment and I have not had any overheating issues.

I haven't had any overheating problems with the Hot Max welder. I have been using it to repair the body on my truck and it has performed fine so far. The use has been intermittent and at a lower current range for this work. I've been using it with flux wire instead of using the shielding gas and solid wire and the results have been adequate for this work that isn't in a viewable area.

Hi Jose, I have had no issues with overheating and its been in the case for about two months.

It overheated once but it was because I was using a long extension with wire that was to light for the load. I started using a heavier gauge extension and then ran it for 6 hours with no problem. I am a very happy customer. Members of my family have borrowed it and used it without overheating.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

I've never had any issues with the amp I've ran it for hours and hours and its never overheated and shut off

I have not had any overheating issues. Sometimes the thunderbolt cable gets warm, though.

Mine has functioned the same since new. It's really a nice reliable compressor. I believe a replacement of the crankcase oil is probably the best thing to do at some point.

Hi Rochelle ~ I've had my up and using it since September and have not experienced overheating and/or the 88.88. I would definitely be contacting the manufacturer or where you purchased it from if it's overheating and get another one. Good luck!!

I bought the machine because it is absolutely quiet. The hot is in fact hot and the cold is cold. Most coolers make too much noise when the compressor cycles off and on. Does not happen with this unit.

I have had mine for 2 years now and have not had any problems. The temps are constant and no service work has been needed.

No but the issue is with the regulator. Turn it to a low pressure then to a high pressure. If the compressor still keeps running your regulator is bad.

I have not had any problem yet with it overheating. I used it to laminate a bunch of table menus for a restaurant. Though, as soon as I am done with it, I unplug it and let it cool before putting it away.

I would rate it below average for compressor noise. Meaning it isn't as loud as my larger one. Great compressor!

The compressor runs good but paint does splatter a little I bought a quick release with pressure adjuster for $2 , but could also be paint clogging , gonna try thinning paint or filtering it with like some kinda pantyhose material
