I bought this Compactor back in April and tried to use it for the first time last week ( 06/10/2025 ) and it will not start . I have tried every way and nothing is happening . I have gone through the manual for Trouble shooting and its basically telling me that i need a new Spark Plug or a new connecting cable from the spark . This is a brand new machine and i cannot remove the spark plug .Not Happy at all

Arrête de fonctionner après 1 minute d’utilisation. J’ai changer l’huile, nettoyer la bougie, filtre à aide, etc… rien à faire elle ne fonctionne pas plus qu’une minute sans s’éteindre. Déplus, le fil de la crinque s’est brisé en moins de deux…..

J’ai dû débourser 110.00$ pour le mettre en marche et maintenant il fonctionne 5 minutes et arrête impossible de travailler avec ???

La piastra vibrante dopo neanche 30 minuti di funzionamento presenta la rottura dei supporti del serbatoio di carburante e della griglia di protezione della marmitta a causa di materiali scadenti e sottili. Le vibrazioni inoltre fanno allentare molte viti che vanno continuamente controllate.

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

Waited almost 4 weeks for this machine and it died at the end of the first job. Oil level checked daily. Now spits oil from the exhaust. Extremely disappointed.

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.

Unfortunately my experience has not been as good as everyone else. It does not want to stay running. I have been through the manual 3 times. Check the oil. Everything that is recommended. I got it to run for about 40 minutes once. While it was running it was working good. But I spent more time trying to get it to run than I did using it.

3 orders and all nightmare... 1 made to cancel when went for pickup, online still shows avaliable in store, store had different story 2nd- delayed for week , out for delivery - vevor decided to redirect somewhere else 3rd- promised delivery by a day - 3 days later still waiting.. no delivery date Both 2nd and 3rd order paid for delivery insurance, almost waste of money Waiting on refund for 10 days ....

I need a replacement airfilter or a source for one. I tried to add a picture but this system wants a specific format, even when taking a direct Pic like the options allow. Help me out so I can complete my review.
