15 Amp 3-1/2 Horsepower 20 Gallon Oil-Free Wheeled Single Hot Dog Compress \| Porter-Cable CPFC2TV3520W
	$859.00 >> $531.00 by Porter Cable found in CPFC2TV3520W's description: 5 HP 20 Gallon Compressor. found in CPFC2TV3520W's reviews: *Great compressor! Top Notch!* - This compressor comes with a 4-port air regulator, which lets you run 4 tools at once from the compressor. (most cheaper compressors do not even come with a regulator, let alone a 4-port connection) It is very well built and easy to maneuver. The specs say 82db for operating noise -- I just know it is relatively quiet. So, you may pay more for this compressor, but you get a better machine! If you are a contractor or a homeowner, this is a great compressor.

*4 Gallon, 150 PSI, Oil-lube, Mobile Compressor* \| Porter-Cable C2550**
	$279.00 >> $279.00 by Porter-Cable Includes 1 year limited warranty on parts and accessories High-flo air regulator and push to connect coupler 12 Amp current required, 120 Volts/60 Hertz/ 1 phase 150 PSI tank pressure for longer tool run time 2.5 HP (peak)/1.3 HP (running) 4 gallon, mobile contractor ??pancake?? style tank air compressor found in C2550's description: contractor style compressor is packed with features. The High-flo air regulator and 2-port removable console are winning combinations for contractors. Having the ability to remove the console gives the user the opportunity to remote air regulation and gain higher air pressure closer to the job site. found in C2550's reviews: Prone to shipping damage, works well when repaired - I have been using this Porter Cable compressor for about four months to drive brads, staples and micro-pins for various kitchen cabinet making projects. The description provided by Amazon is incorrect as this model does not have a detachable two port console but a single fixed air outlet. My compressor arrived in its thick cardboard box with two of the mounting tabs for the shroud broken off the cast metal main housing and the plastic fan broken in half. Once repaired I must say that I have not had a problem with its operation. Average noise and vibration and my repairs have not rebroken.

What a joke!! The compressor started to make a horrible noise about 2 minutes into the tire inflation and never worked again. Well, I had the "spare" compressor, but the same thing happened to it.
*Job Boss 4.5 Gallon, 150 PSI, Oil-Free Compressor* \| Porter-Cable C3150**

I am currently growing and needed a larger compressor for the job site, as all I was using was a pancake compressor from porter cable, and it had a hard time keeping up with the heavier demands I was putting on it. I had looked at alot of compressors from emglo (dewalt) and others. I also looked at the specifications as I wanted a compresor that would have fast recovery, and high air presure for driving nails in older existing framing. The compressor had no assembly reqired, and was easy to remove from the box. This compressor is an animal. The recovery is the fastest I have seen on any compressor out there. The only drawback to this compresor is the noise. It is a litle loud, But we fixed that by moving the compressor to another room, and removing the regualtor panel and putting it into the work area. I wasn't sure I would use this feature, but it is great, as you have your air supply and regulator right where you are working. ( It's not light ) This compressor* by far exceeds what I expected it to do.*

*3 HP, 4-Gallon Side Stack Compressor* \| Porter-Cable CPF23400S**
	$466.00 by Porter-Cable One Year Warranty Convenient control panel has regulator, gauge, and two quick connect outlets Higher tank pressure provides more usable air per tank re-charge New high-pressure design keeps tank pressure between 110 and 135 PSI 3 HP induction motor delivers 7.7 SCFM at 40 PSI, 5.5 SCFM at 90 PSI found in CPF23400S's reviews: *Excellent compressor* - quietest I've used in its category - I am never able to live without a good air compressor. I use them for a variety of tasks from simple blowing to nailers and air hammers. As smaller air compressors go, this one really delivers a nice, steady pressure for quite a long time. Normally I like to blow through my air gun at about 50psi to clear sawdust. Blowing air at that pressure really drains a small compressor fast, but this one really handles it well and gives me quite a bit of extra time due to the fact that the motor really kicks in quickly and efficiently to keep the pressure up. I couldn't outpace the compressor with a single nailer. The two air ports is really nice in one this size because I can put the compressor underneath my workbench and mount a static line on my workbench for easy access anytime while leaving the other open for longer hoses. The noise level of this unit is very acceptable. These size compressors can make an INCREDIBLE amount of noise, but the Porter-Cable 3hp 4 gallon side stack really keeps the noise** level at a minimum. Great General Purpose Portable Compressor - I bought this compressor to run nail guns, air sand and spray paint. It is also handy to limit the pressure to safe levels for your various air tools. The unit does not stay on too long when it cycles, so the noise is not really a problem. It is not as loud as large upright compressors, but it does make a fair amount of noise, although not as much as I expected. I use it with a Souix air sander and it does run longer when I am working. If you take on a tractor trailer, get a bigger compressor. Darn Good Little Compressor - Short and sweet - this compressor delivers on its promises - it is easy to use, easy to break-in, easy to maintain, and you can't beat the duel air hose inlets. I have found both of the built in pressure gauges to be accurate, and the oil-free motor is quieter than other compressors I have used (although it still makes a good bit of noise). To me, that's portable - I can understand how that would not be the case with everyone, but my experience leads me to believe that this compressor has a very good weight-to-horsepower-to-air storage capacity ratio. Plenty of Power to Offer...but it needs plenty, too. - I tried the compressor on an undedicated 15 amp circuit, and it immediately blew the switch every time. I also learned (the hard way, of course) that if you are using the compressor with a 50' extension chord (with too high a guage) on a 20 amp circuit, the pump will not get enough electricity to pump air after cutting-in when the tank pressure drops to 110 psi (the specified cut-in pressure) - the pump will start pumping, but quickly stop and you'll hear the motor straining until it blows the 20 amp circuit, too. It's cheaper, my new Porter Cable friends say, to buy more air hose than the right gauge extention chord - Ah, such knowledge I'm gaining. Sadly, the compressor arrived with an air intake filter housing badly bent downward (done apparently at the factory, as the box from Amazon wasn't damaged), so I couldn't remove the air filter. AND, the drain valve (to drain water from the bottom of the tank) would not completely close allowing lots of air to excape from the tank. In my chats with an Amazon tool sales rep, and later with a Porter Cable tech rep (to help me unravel the compressor's electrical-needs mysteries), both Companies quickly and nicely insisted on sending me a new air intake filter housing and a new drain valve (I guess I'm getting two of each?) - no questions asked. The machine is fairly loud, but it only takes my pump about 6 seconds to refill the tanks from the 110 psi cut-in pressure to the specified 135 psi cut-out pressure. I figure the noise level goes hand-in-hand with the added power this compressor offers - power I think I need.

	$504.99 by Porter-Cable One-year warranty Provides 8.6 SCFM at 40 PSI and 6.8 SCFM at 90 PSI High-flow regulator for more efficient operation of pneumatic tools Tank pressure is maintained between 110 and 135 PSI for more usable air High-pressure technology provides the equivalent of a 32-gallon air supply found in CPL6025's reviews: Quiet, powerful with a manageable size! - I have a small shop (our two car garage) and I am very sensitive to noise. If you have the same requirements, you are reading about your dream compressor. I measured the noise level while it was running and it is well within the range. I just love this compressor!.

I've been running it indoors, and although it isn't exactly quiet, it makes less noise than I expected. good, fast compressor - This compressor is great. When i first got mine it made a funny noise, alot like a little gas engine trying to start,and it stillmakes a sorter version the first time i turn it on.I like having the splitter for youe air hoses right in the middle of the two tanks, it eliminate a splitter which ten to leak after a while.
