Needs better instructions
I have used this compressor for a few days now with a coil framing nailer and it works fine, has plenty of capacity for one gun, and is relatively quiet.
I would give it 5 stars except that packaging is poor and instructions for initial set-up are also poor. The compressor ships in its original retail box, not double boxed, and mine was torn open and then re-taped. The box says an oil bottle is included and there is space for it in the box, but in fact Senco is shipping with oil in the compressor and no oil bottle (I found this confusing as it looks like the oil bottle was stolen or missing). The air filter comes unattached and you have to figure out where to attach it on your own (a little sketch would be helpful for the spatially challenged). The air inlet has a plastic plug inserted so don't start your compressor before finding and removing the plug and attaching the air filter.
Finally, if you do happen to have a major problem such as a dead compressor,...

Great general use compressor
The PC1131 has a 4.3 gallon double hotdog tank system. It has easy to read primary and secondary gauges and a switch that can be reached quickly but does not interfere with operation when moving the hose around. The compressor has a well positioned oil fill port, for spalsh lubrication. It's relatively quiet (though there is no such thing as a quiet compressor. I have used the Senco with brad, stapler and finishing nail guns as well as a framing nailer to drive both 2" and 3-1/2" framing nails. The recycle of the tank pressure (which I set @ 110psi) easily operates any of these tools without a need to wait for the pressure to build. The only issue would be using the compressor form spray guns, where a constant (uniterrupted airflow is a critical requirement of airguns). Other than that, I would strong recommend this Senco for everyday, portable use, especially for the DIY homeowner.
Great value
Everything about it seems to be good/ excellent value.
Pros: It's got lots of power to keep up, no compressor is quit, but this one is surprisingly not that noisy, the weight is quite reasonable to considering it's power. Oil-lubricated is quieter and lasts way longer than oil-less. Runs any air tool you will need, even roofing and framing nailers with no problem.
Cons: The rubber handle has ridges in it that hurt your hand if you carry it farther than a few steps without gloves. The copper air pipe is on the outside of the compressor, where it seems like there is more risk of damage (see picture on the left side of the plastic covering. The drains can sometimes hit your legs while carrying it, which is not pleasant. The pressure readings are a little difficult to see. There is only one air outlet instead of two.
Make sure you read the initial set up directions, to put on the air filter and the oil dipstick. I also suggest running it with all the...
