Very few compressors will fail from normal use within the warranty period. But the EasyStart will probably add another 5 to 10 years to the life of the compressor. Since most home owners have been told that compressor only last 10-15 years, they just expect it is a normal expense that they will have to incur. So why would the manufacturer or the dealer promote a device that will reduce their profits?
