True Power 2HP Twin Tank Air Compressor, 5 Gal, 3.8 CFM @ 90 PSI

True Power 2HP Twin Tank Air Compressor, 5 Gal, 3.8 CFM @ 90 PSI
  • -Twin Tank (5 gal capacity) -Direct Drive Pump
  • -High Flow Regulator Control-Tank & Outlet Pressure Gauges
  • -3.8 SCFM @ 90 PSI/5.0 SCFM @ 40 PSI
  • -80 PSI Pressure Auto Switch (ON) -115 PSI Max (Auto Relief)
  • -3450 RPM, 2 HP (Peak) (115V,60Hz,15A,1650W)

When I purchased this compressor I was just wanting one to get me by for a while and I think this one will do. It had all of the features I was wanting. I was disappointed when the one I received has small things that were not consistent with the one in the picture. They are small details but things to consider. Mine did not have a sticker on it (I'm ok with this detail). The square tubing use for the frame was not capped off, I'm sure it will not hurt anything but looks cheap. These last two things do bother me a little, the air line running from the compressor to the tanks, does not have the cooling fins like the picture. The intake looks like metal in the picture online and in the instructions, but the one I got was flimsy plastic. I'm giving it one trip in the back of the truck.

I have not gotten a chance to get it on the job site but thinking it will do alright.

ROLAIR 1.5 HP, 2.9 CFM@100

ROLAIR 1.5 HP, 2.9 CFM@100I chose this model over other equivalent models like the Rolair JC10 (lower output), Rolair 3.6 CFM model (a little too loud), the Craftsman (leaky), Senco (I read they are financially in trouble), Dewalt or Porter Cable (not efficient enough), or the Makita MAC700 (too heavy). This model has the right balance between noise, output, and weight. I have confirmed this after using the unit for about 3 months now. Let me go to the weakness of this unit.

First, it was advertised as "new" model. Well, I don't know about that because the unit I received was manufactured in 2008 so it does not have the gauges pointing up just like the newer and more popular Rolair 3.6 CFM model.

Second, is the packing. With such a heavy unit, it came in singled boxed without padding. As a result, the oil cover cracked and oil spilled all over the box. On the bright side though, I brought this up to the attention of the seller (Acme Tools) and they shipped a replacement oil cover quickly. Excellent service by Brian of Acme Tools! One downside is I ended up buying compressor oil at nearby Sears. This is still better than shipping the whole unit back. There was also a small crack at the motor cover plastic but it is small enough (about 1 inch) and is only a cosmetic flaw. Packing could have been better.

Overall, this is a very good unit. Quiet and efficient. I urge anyone to seriously consider this unit if you are looking for around the same output. Just make sure to request for double packing to avoid the same hassle I experienced.

7.5 Horse Power Air Compressor Model 2475N7.5-V

7.5 Horse Power Air Compressor Model 2475N7.5-V
  • Running power 5 hp.
  • 80 gallon tank capacity.
  • 100% cast iron cylinder head with deep-groove directional cooling fins.
  • High-efficiency stainless steel valves. Ï High-efficiency intercooler.
  • OverSize:d industrial-grade bearings for extended pump life.

I bought this for my farm shop to do everything from cleaning off equipment with air blowers to operating a 1" IR impact wrench to remove axle nuts on my dump truck and farm tractors. It is quiet running, has a nice low tone in my shop, pumps quickly and shuts off. It is well made, finished nice and other than painting the air piping I installed it needs nothing. Make sure you order the synthetic oil/filter kit. It will keep your compressor humming a long time.

Campbell Hausfeld FP2048 2-Gallon Air Compressor and 8-Piece Accessory Kit

Campbell Hausfeld FP2048 2-Gallon Air Compressor and 8-Piece Accessory Kit
  • 2 Gallon Tank for greater stored air power.
  • Easy to read gauges
  • Oil-Free Pump
  • Cool Running Motor
  • 8 piece accessory kit

I don't know if the reviewers who complained about the noise have ever used an air compressor before but this one is not that loud at all! Also, oilless compressors always take a little more time to pump up a full charge and are louder than oiled machines. And I don't know how one could expect a 2 gallon tank to provide any type of continuous airflow for cleaning, spraying etc. I am a professional woodworker and this lightweight little guy is so perfect for pick-up air nailing work or where a small trim job is needed and I don't want to lug around even a pancake unit. This is a fantastic machine for small nail jobs and inflating things so I don't know what others are expecting. Also, I bought mine brand new on sale from Ha**** Fr***** for $55.00! But even Amazon's price is well worth it. My only tiny complaint is that I wish the max pressure was 120 instead of 100.

Bought this compressor to inflate tires on two autos and two bicycles. Works great. Included accessories are all I need. Plenty of pressure for auto tire inflation. Properly inflated eight auto tires (32PSI) in about five minutes. Very happy with my purchase. No longer have to pay for air at service stations.

This thing broke down after only 3 months of less than daily use for a couple hours at a time airbrushing with a small artist style airbrush. Tiny tabletop compressors handle this job for years on end without breaking. Save your money and time and stay away from this piece of JUNK!

Bought this for my IT Department to use when blowing the dust from computers and other electronic items. Does a good job when at full capacity, it is quieter then the old one we had, but it takes a bit of time for the pump to fill the tank and afterwards there is a foul smell of burning plastic. The smell is probably just the pump heating up and may go away with time, it has not affected the performance of the air compressor at all. Attachements are cheap, but we modified the hose with a good steel blow tube and that works much better then the cheap plastic attachments that come with it.
