I would like it belt driven,oil,electric and vertical tank. Ive looked at the Lowes brand Home Depot brand and Harbor Freight brand and sears brand they all seemed pretty much the same who has had good experiences with these brands or others that I have not mentioned. Thanks for the input.

I have had a harbor freight "chicago pneumatic" for 8 years. Cast iron belt driven 240 volt 60 gal. Not one issue and to be honest I have not even changed the oil.

I have seen those but I'm looking for a portable one on wheels the one you have is a bolt down I believe.

I have an Ingersol Rand Garage Mate I bought through Northern Tool at the tail end of last year. Mine is only 20 gallon, but works well for my purposes.

I've had the Sears 33 gallon horizontal version ($299) for 18+ years, it's been 100% flawless. Never had to do anything to it whatsoever. I just wish I'd had bought the vertical version since they take up a bit less floor space. :yesnod:

Whatever you do. Do not buy a Chicago Pneumatics unit. They are struggling and will most likely be out of business before the year is out.

60 gallon IR here . So not much help. But if I was to buy another portable one Ingersol would be my choice. :cert:

That's too bad about CP, they were well respected back in the day. Tool store down the street deals CP, pricey stuff. I almost bought one of their compressors, but decided against it due to electrical limitations.
