Had a Speedaire unit that was almost brand new and covered under warranty, but needed some minor repair done on the pressure switch. Called Campbell Hausfeld and was told to call Combee Electrics in Ontario, CA for the repairs. Combee Electrics then directed me to call another number and arrange for a rep to come do the repairs. What they didn't tell me was that I would not be able to get the repair covered under the warranty by referring me to someone else. Was charged $300 for a minor repair, and told to go to the manufacturer for reimbursement. Of course, Campbell Hausfeld refused to reimburse us as the technician was not a "valid service center" for the warranty.
I'm assuming Combee Electric has done this many times before and probably takes a cut of the profits. While this isn't Campbell Hausfeld's fault directly, they are turning a blind eye to this type of treatment to their customers and refuse to help at all. A few times, their reps were downright hostile considering I'm one of their customers who just got conned while following their every instructions. A company like this obviously doesn't value their customers. I would not recommend any Speedaire products to anyone who expects to ever use their warranty. read more
