Another tool to fix
2.8 HP
I purchased this plate compactor to do a small driveway and a small patio. Out of the box it looked promising. I put it together per the instructions and also put in the required amount of oil. Ten minutes after using it the engine locked up. I contacted supported which was non existent. After three days of no answer from support I bought a new engine to put on it. I took off the belt and found the clutch was jammed up against the crank case. No spacer at all. I made a spacer put it back together and it finally worked enough for me to finish my stone tamping. Buyer beware there is no warranty or support from VEVOR at all.

Not satisfied. The part came with a broken wheel. They made it difficult to get a new one. Lots of hoops to jump through.

Good enough
Works fine for the cost. However it has carburetor problems. Fuel doesn’t get into the engine fast enough so you only get 2 minutes of run time before it shuts off and you have to wait to restart. Now the needle valve in the carb sticks on slightly so you have to shut the fuel off between uses or it dumps the whole fuel tank into the engine and you are forced to change the oil. Reached out to vevor. And They never replied. Will probably have to swap out the carb for something brand name to fix the problem. Broke the pull chord the other day but that’s just cause it has 10x the usage as it’s supposed to.

Compactor doesn't vibrate anymore after 2 jobs
It worked really well in the beginning but now it won't move foward and doesn't have the vibrating power to move at all

I bought the compactor and I found the box has shipping damage and the air filter was fully saturated and leaking engine oil, I try to starter the compactor and good luck, I bought a new air filter and finally the compactor start working, I run the machine for less than 5 minutes and the next day I want to tested again runs but I found a new issue the machine it's not vibrating, I removed the belt cover and I found the belt ripped, I contacted customer service and they said I'll be getting the new belt in 7 days, I'm already pass 10 days and still don't have the belt yet and customer service ask me for RATE, LOL, are guys serious?
Anyways the belt came off because at the factory, it obvious they didn't aligned and tensioned the belt.
Between the filter and the belt, I spend $60 for a brand new machine and I don't know what to expect after a month, I'm heavy duty mechanic and that's why I can fix it and said what's wrong with the little compactor.

Check all before use

Compactor was easy to assemble and start but did not work. Had to take it apart and determined the belt was not around the lower pulley.

Runs great for 5 minutes, then it shuts off. Let it sit for a minute and it starts back up for five minutes and dies. Oil is full, gas on, choke off

Terrible product. The package came all bad oil everywhere reach out to costumer service and no help. They suggested to try to used it which didn't worked and offered me $120 to keep a broken machine. I requested to get it returned an my money back. They finally agreed to get it return but I had to figure it out how to pack it and take it to a fed ex it weight 150 pounds. Won't be trusting the brand.
