I need a new compressor. What to get?
My 22 gallon oilless Campbell Hausfeld compressor died last night. I'm a little mad because it was only 3 years old. But, at the same time, I always wanted a larger and hopefully quieter one.
Any suggestions?

I second Jeff's opinion. It's a great compressor! Sears usually has sales so watch for it. I even might get another one once I take this one to the hangar.

For anyone like me that couldn't get Jeff's link for whatever reason, search for Item # 00919541000.

oiled compressor
not sure what size you are looking for, but an oiled machine will likely provide better service. not sure what make mine is. it's red. maybe C-H. don't recall. but I would endorse use of one that has oil lubrication. I use Mobil 1 in mine.

Right now I'm considering a Ingersoll Rand 60 gallon 5hp 2 stage compressor from Tractor Supply for 999.
Any opinions on that one?
Thanks for the quick replies so far!

If possible, get one of those large 60 gallon 240 Volt standup oiled machines from Lowes, Home Depot, etc.
They'll run airtools such as diegrinders with cutoff wheels & scotchbright pads, without running out of steam, and work much better for painting too. I went for years with a 30 gal compressor, but had I known, I'd have gotten one of these, much earlier.

I was typing my reply before seeing this. I'm certainly in favor of the 60 gallon compressors. Mine is a cheaper Kobalt from Lowe's, which was in the $500+ catagory, but does an excellent job. |

I've heard the Ingersol Rand GarageMate is exceptionally quiet. Vertical tank, belt driven, 120V, oil type.
I'm wavering between the Craftsman mentioned and the IR.

Ok, this may be the one:
Craftsman Professional 80 gal. Air Compressor, 5.5 hp, Vertical, 2-Stage Pump w/Splash Lubrication
It's on sale at Sears for $819. The guy on the phone says it's really a 7hp, the internet has the hp wrong.
A 2 stage oil lube would be quieter, right?
