the Billionair came from Bearair today…looked poorly packed ,NO manual whatsoever,after adding the il and straping the top on ,i cranked it up,had a tiny puff of air and then nothing,neither gauge registers anything and it’s actually a lot louder than a refrigerator(i was told that was the comparison)…am i missing something in the setup or is it just broke and needs to be returned?
Sounds like its broke to me. I would call them and tell them what is going on. If you don’t have any luck with Bearair, call Badger and tell them what its doing. I’m sure if you complain enough you will either get your money back or get a new compressor! Good luck Lone
talked to both this morning on conference call,Bearair offered if i sent it back to them they would replace it(also said they wanted to check thier other inventory)…Badger stepped up and offered to have it picked up and replaced with a new personally inspected unit and shipped overnight…that’s service!! great job on both companies part…they were freaked by the fact that the cylinder head was open and that there was no manuals present,
Lone, seems you got this straightened out. That’s Customer Service for ya[^] Now how long before ya get a replacement?
too long for me,i saw it,touched it,imagined the silence…Damn it! i want it now
they should pick it up today or tomorrow,as soon as they have it back,they will ship a new one,hoping for a 1 1/2 -2 week turn around
So, in the meantime… I presume you’re twiddling your thumbs then?
nah,still got that old LOUD shaky thing from Lowe’s…it was ok in my old place ,but this one is MUCH bigger and has hardwood and tile throughout,ECHO!!!
Wow, that is customer service!!! I guess as long as both are trying very hard to make it right, you can’t be anything but happy, but I do feel for you. You got to play with a new toy, now you have to give it back to mom so she can take it back to the store… the old toys are never going to be as much fun again!!! Glad you got everything straightned out Lone!
Welp, all I can say is “shake, Rattle & roll” on there bro. The new one is around the corner[:D]
That is why I am such a staunch Badger advocate!
Keep us informed.
