I had it for over a year, it saved me alot of time.

I was hammering away on a large bolt that was stuck real tight, and then the hammer action went "zzzzzzzz". no more electric impact.

for everything else, lug nuts especially, it was worth what I paid. I gotta get another one. Its easier to haul out than the air powered one.

Just thought I would share.

I know what you mean about hauling out the air hoses and turning on the compressor. I have a Milwaukee electric impact and I've beat the crap out of it for years, you just can't seem to hurt it. I imagine that the Harbor Freight model is just like their other power tools, built a little cheaper thus they can sell them for less. I always bite the bullet when buying any tool that is used for severe duty, it usually pays in the long run.
