I've had the 10-gallon version for about a year, and it's been great. It really is much quieter than the others I've had. It makes plenty of air and keeps up well with all the tools I use on it. There is an easy 20 minute break-in procedure you have to preform with it before putting it to use (run for 20 min with the drain valve open), and it's listed at the front of the instruction manual. If you don't do it, the compressor tends to fail early. Many people miss it by not reading the manual before using it.
My neighbor bought me one of these for Christmas this year. Which i was totally surprised. It will mostly get light use so maybe it will last a while. 🤞🤞 no extended warranty. But im thankful 🙏
I've had my 26 gal Fortress Ultra Quiet for just over two weeks now (12/24/24), and so far, so good. I've mainly used it for airing tires on family vehicles, and blowing leaves from around the driveway and walkways near the garage. I commented last week on last year's video, and wasn't disappointed to have a few "Dad Jokes" in this one, as well. Thanks for being an understanding & tolerant neighbor to the kids with the band. Who knows - they may be the next "big thing" in a couple of years, and may well remember the folks that *didn't* complain about their practice sessions!! One question: I noticed you swapped out the left air outlet for the Harbor Freight high flow fittings. Do you find your ka-dukka-duks run better on that set up vs the standard air connectors? Again, thanks for the content, and the follow-up is greatly appreciated.
@@Gunnr1236 thank you for your comments, you are very kind. I really don’t know if the “high flow” fittings really make a difference, but in my mind they sounded like a good idea. Or, and most likely, I just fell for a gimmick. Even if that’s true, they are black and that makes them look cool 😎
Thanks for the update. I’m thinking of picking one up

Your neighbor was probably just getting tired of hearing your old one

Mine failed 2 weeks after the 90 days......if you get it....get the extended warranty.
@@anhydrouswater that sucks, it really does.
