I've had the 75 gallon 220v US General air compressor for about 2 years.. Haven't changed the oil nearly as much as I should have, and don't drain it as often as I should.

Still works perfect, 0 issues.

The one 60 gallon for like $400 right, I'm tempted to try it out even though I hear the cfm waiting is not correct.

thanks for the replies.

im torn between the $400 and the $800 one they currently offer. the $400 is rated at 12.8cfm @90psi while the other is a 2 stage and it delivers 15.8cfm@90psi.

12.8cfm@90psi would do me just fine, but i also just want to buy a better performing one just in case. but that extra $400 can be used on somthing else

i went ahead and bought the $800 model, with the two stage and some extra power. i walked out of there with it for 690 w/tax thanks to the 20% off coupon. so far so good, we'll see how long it last. im very dependent with my air compressors.
