I really didn't want to buy another piece of equipment. But with the cost of rental and the conflicts with my schedule I can buy this for less than a week rental. The compactor arrived undamaged and needed minimal assembly. It starts easily and quickly. The only issue is the throttle has a tendency to vibrate down. I'm sure I can remedy that easily.

I purchased this compactor in April 2001 I've used it many many times I did my whole driveway with it I compacted several areas where I built structures today I'm fixing to make a patio and extend my back porch also compacted the base for a sidewalk it has worked amazing do your oil changes and if it sits change the fuel before starting it it'll last a long time

First I would like to say that this is mostly MY FAULT. I purchased this almost 2 years ago and left it sitting in the box. If I had taken it out of the box and tested it I would have found out that the engine was broken and could have had it replaced under warranty, MY BAD. Their BAD was selling me a completely defective product to begin with. To start I added oil, pulled the spark plug, added just a bit of oil through the spark plug to coat the piston rings. I then SLOWLY & GENTLY pulled the starter handle to crank over the engine (no gas yet) to lube the rings. I heard loud CLUNKs from the engine, then it seized. I took off the pull start so that I could reverse the crank shaft direction. I was able to free up the shaft, but then when manually cranking I continued to hear CLUNKs and then it seized again, after that I just gave up and purchased another engine. $175 procrastination penalty. After I swap the engine I might be happy with this product, but that is a few days away. Now I wish that I had purchased that extended warranty. Lesson learned: If you are not going to use a product immediately, just return it and get your money back. UPDATE: I purchased a new engine and the compactor now works as expected. Good value for a home owner.

When I got the packer I assembled it put gas and oil and started it the engine started easy , but when I throttled it up it ran for 5 seconds and shut off , took the belt off and engine ran great, long story short, the exciter had the wrong oil, and was only supposed to have 80 ML of oil, there was 330 ml of oil in the exciter. Second problem I disconnected the low oil sensor and it runs well, the problem is that the oil sensor is faulty. Plus customer service is very poor. What can I say China junk!!

It's OK for the price to do small jobs. The bottom foot only has the one plate most tampers has a double foot I guess that kind cost more. It's good for starting out it will compact the ground I'm going to take the rubber pad off the bottom and see if it works better. One thing I don't like is the throttle cable the vibration will move the throttle cable from fast to slow I'll try to tighten the screw to see if the throttle will stay wide open.
