It works well and runs good out of the box. Couldn't ask for much more for the money. I've said all I'm going to say, even though it says my review much be 100 characters or more.

I went to HD to rent a plate compactor for a week and I could buy this machine for the same money. A real no brainer. 110 yds of gravel later and I am a happy guy. Great machine. Buy it

I feel like most reviews complaining about this machine could have been avoided if people READ THE MANUAL. This compactor is great value for the money! Please read the manual, as it specifies which oil to use depending on your ambient temperature and how much oil to put. I had to use SAE 30, as I am in Arizona with ambiet air over 40°F and I am guessing most people should actually use that. Mine arrived covered in oil, so I made sure to add oil to the vibrator assembly and cleaned up the spillage. I had no problem starting it up with the engine oil filled to about 3/4 of the gauge stick and gas filled to the bottom of the gas filter. No leakage occured just a bit of smoking right at the beginning that lasted less than a minute, which is normal on engine startup. Overall, easy to use, sturdy, relatively compact machine that does the job if used correctly. P.S. it comes without a paver pad so I am using a small rug that my wife wanted to throw away :-)

Works very well . Was cheaper than harbor freight. Shipping was very quick as always. Compacted my driveway that was 120 x 40 road base gravel love it would highly recommend

Had an issue in shipping, but VEVOR customer service was able to quickly assist and get a replacement compactor in a short period of time. Needed a plate compactor for a house project. Instead of renting several times, this compactor was cheap enough to just buy outright. Has worked great so far. Easy to setup and has done it's job well. Still using it, but it's first project was compacting a few hundred cubic yards of back fill. Used in conjunction with a roller compactor, we were able to get really great compaction on 10" lifts in about 2 days. I've been using it to compact crusher run over the past few months and I can breeze over the area in less than an hour. Would recommend.

The 6.5hp vibratory compactor works great for compacting soil and gravel. It's pretty much assembled when you recieve it. Only a few things to go over before starting it like adding oil and gasoline and assembling the handle. Worked very good for compacting gravel for a driveway and a building pad.

Works well. Handy and affordable. It gets used often enough and starts easily. Does an appropriate amount of pounding and vibrating to get the job done.

I was going to rent a compactor at about $75 a day. Found this one and it has worked great. Would highly recommend it.

Works great we used it to compact soil and doing concrete job different than regular, so we compact the mist concrete to reach highest psi in short time and it works great
