i was debating the whole time between: IR 4gal twin stack (really good reviews and for $299 a good price) Makita BigBore ( i had it in my shop for testing but its way too loud ) Rolair VT25BIG or something.... ( for $450 kinda on the expensive side ) anyway; couple weeks i went to Lowes and i walked thru the air compressor section. found a Porter Cable 4gal compressor (was $199) on clearance for $75 brand new. i searched on the internet and i just found really good reviews. So i bought it. 4gal, 1HP, Oil-lubricated pump delivers 3.4 SCFM @ 90 PSI i am really really happy with that compressor. amazing good price too here a link from the air compressor, homedepot.com had it too http://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-4-Gal-Stack-Tank-Electric-Air-Compressor-PCFP02040/205160909
