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

Wow 75$!! That’s a steal. Congrats on the compressor. I’m looking for one now. I have the pancake type from porter cable, now I want something bigger.
Congrats on the new compressor Alex! Whatever happen with the situation u had from cpo?
oh they refunded the money and also arranged pick-up via UPS
Wow nice deal MM.
That’s a really good deal man. Seems like a solid compressor, I like the oiled pump too.
yeah oiled air compressor is the way to go when you want it to last
75 dollars took the debate right out of that equation. Nice deal
this air compressor works perfectly to run my nail guns….no use for mechanic tools.
i never heard that air compressor running from HF – but i can imagine its loud haha.
This PC compressor is pretty decent in noise level, cant complain
Great deal let us know how it is
Nice looking air compressor, I too am a fan of oiled compressors, may it bring you many years of good use.
