Porter-Cable C7550 80-Gallon 30-Amp 6-Horsepower Oiled Vertical Compressor
The Porter-Cable C7550 80 Gallon Oil-Lube Air Compressor offers powerful 5.4 (running) HP and 175 PSI air pressure to run just about any kind of air tool. Air delivery is solid at 90 PSI - 12.9 at 175 PSI SCFM--meaning, less downtime waiting for the compressor to recharge and more time actually using your air tools. The C7550 not only boasts industrial-grade performance, but it also has many features that increase its durability and lifespan. The two-stage, oil lubricated Twin-V cast iron pump greatly increases lifespan and overall reliability, and the pump contains automotive-style pistons, rings, and connecting rods that help to extend the lifespan of the C7550.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Design flaw?--2-23-2013 update edit
These are my initial thoughts when purchased 8-15-2007

-(review edited 2-23-2-13 below, to update and increase rating from 1 to 3 stars)

You can imagine my excitement to purchase this brand--
I was soon dissappointed.
From day one this compressor had a knocking rod noise-getting worse with pressure increase-
I also noticed quite a bit of oil in my serparator

I reported trouble -and it took 1 month to get a replacement pump.In the meantime, they had my pump on the bench at the shop.

The new pump had the same knocking noise-
I was told by the service man who disassembled my original unit, there was a large space between the rods, on the crankshaft end-they had been sliding back and forth and the pistons were slapping-
after 10 hours of use-there was 1/4" of metal shavings in the oil.
This is actually made by devillbiss--you will not even talk with a Porter Cable rep.
I was also told to repackage the old...

Same as a devilbiss model with certified tank
Purchased only 3 weeks ago,works great. WEG 23amp motor and UnoAir full cast iron pump runs at 1200rpm and is a little loud but acceptable. The clear plastic oil sight glass on mine needed tightening but was easily readable. This compressor uses a single belt drive, no mag starter or finned after/inter coolers like more expensive models. There is only one air outlet at the top of the tank.
All this considered and with sale prices around $850 shipped this is a solid value for you gear-heads or the small/medium shop or garage. It appears to be well built to last a many, many years.

Update on compressor as of 9 18 08.
I have had this over 7 months. I did a lot of shop work and even restored and painted a car. Compressor is still working great with only 1 problem being the drive pulley came loose but was caught by the guard. It seems everything you buy these days needs an inspection before and again after some run time. I reassembled with a little lock-tite on the...
air compressor
4/04/08 I have been using c7550 compressor for a week now. I have had no problems yet. I bought it to use with my wood sander and nailers,it has no problem keeping up,and when it was delivered it had a big scratch in the tank,but it was not deep enough to hurt anything so I kept it. If I start having problems I will let you know. 4/27/08 still no problems. 8/8/08 still no problems. Today is 01/25/09 compressor still works like new. 4/04/09 The compressor is a year old today and still no problems. 8/01/09 been using the compressor hard for the last 3 months and no problems. The day i recieved the compressor i took the plug out from under the tank and put in a ball valve and extended it out from under the tank so it is easy to drain the water, i drain it every morning. 03/20/10 the compressor is almost 2yrs old now and still not a minutes trouble yet. 11/14/10 still runs and works like it did the day i got it. It is used every day. may 28,2011 still no problems,but have just about wore...

Good purchase and delivery
I just received my unit several days ago. It was purchased to replace an aging Sears 2 HP compressor, which had mysteriously turned itself on during the night (even though the switch was Off!) and kept running, overheating and filling my home with oily smoke.

The purchase and delivery experience was great. I got the free shipping, and was expecting this would take 2-3 weeks on the slow train. I was surprised to get a call from the freight company two days after I ordered it, asking when I wanted it delivered. It arrived in perfect condition.

True to market hype, the 6.5 HP rating advertised is actually an overstatement. The label on the unit says it is a 3.2 HP, and that makes sense given the current draw. A true 6.5 HP unit would require a 30-50A circuit, like my Delta 5HP Unisaw. But this unit meets my needs at a good price.

Campbell Hausfeld makes this identical unit for a lot of other manufacturers... you'll notice different paint colors,...

Good unit once you get past installation woes
Just purchased this unit at Lowes for $[...] which I think is a great price. I replaced a 15 year old wheel barrow type CH with the same horsepower and CFM rating but only a 30 gallon tank. I need this capacity because I use lots of continuous duty tools like grinders, sanders and air chisels which require high CFM ratings. If your work involves intermittant use tools like nailers, air ratchets, inflators, etc you don't need this much compressor. One of the big reasons I chose this model is that it has a true cast iron pump body. Many others at this price range use aluminum with iron inserts which won't provide the same longevity. This baby will last!

Other things I like about it are: smooth, quiet operation, well placed readable pressure guage, large 3/4" air outlet, handy sight window for oil level, smaller belt cage and easily accessable drain cock. So why didn't I give it 5 stars? Here are the flaws:

As usual with products made in Asia, the owners manual is...
CH VT6275
I am very pleased with this unit, it is just what I was looking for, powerful and much quiter than I expected it to be. The only downfall is that you need to wire the unit yourself, although if you are handy with electric it is fairly easy to install. The "free" shipping from Amazon is an excellent bargin. I highly recommend this unit.

DEWALT D55153 15 Amp 1-Horsepower 4 Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor
The DEWALT D55153 Hot Dog Compressor has all the power of a large compressor, but constructed as a smaller, lighter unit. It delivers 3.8 cubic feet per minute at 100 psi and is durably built with oil-lubricated cast-iron cylinder. Included with the Hot Dog Compressor is the regulator and an initial fill of DEWALT synthetic air compressor oil.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Best compact hands down.
This bad boy will do the work of a much larger compressor. It will easily run several guns on a framing crew or even a roofing crew. The HP rating is a little misleading compared to other compressors. 2 HP isn't max , it's continuous. I have one of these (Emglo 2HP) that's been abused and used hard for several years now with no problems ,only good dependable air. I highly recommend it. If I could change one thing I would make it quieter.

Great Portable
Recovery time was very good when using a framing nailer. Using a blowgun for cleaning was ok. Acceptable noise level. Used on a 100' extention cord off a 15 amp circuit, with no problems. I'm very pleased with it. Looking forward to many years of use in my shop.
Just plain pleased
I use this with my Paslode; 16 Gauge and Framing nailers, I hang then trim doors, sometimes rebuild sills and headers. I also do various trim/frame carpentry on other projects.

If you are worried about changing the oil its only once a year!
If you are worried about operating on a slope, i have always found a flat spot to locate it in, even roofers leave theirs on the ground, just put on more hose. Who wants to carry this up a ladder anyway?!

I would never buy an air compressor without a user serviceable airfilter!
I would never buy one of those oil less types

a home craftsman
I do various home repairs on my own home and on my rental properties. I needed a good quality air compressor for my nail guns and I purchased the Dewalt D55151. A framer friend of mine recommended the oil fil type as apposed to the oil-free version. I have had the compressor for about 2 months and so far it has performed better than I ever expected! It's great! The only drawback is that it does not come with a female hose connector, so I purchased and installed a manifold to accept 2 female connectors.

User friendly compressor
This is probably the best small compressor I have owned. It is very user friendly, relatively quiet and it comes up to full pressure rapidly. It also has the added durability feature of an oil reservoir to keep the piston well lubed.Previous small compressors I have owned were oiless types and were prone to freeze up under prolonged use.Not so with this model.
Doesn't match up to a Makita MAC2400
I've had this DeWalt compressor for three years and have cussed it the last two years. It performs horribly when it's cold, takes a long time to fill with air and is fairly loud. I really didn't realize how much I hated it until I finally had enough and purchased a Makita MAC2400. It is twice the compressor, performs great when it's cold and is half as loud as the DeWalt. The Makita is a little heavier, but for only $20 more you get a much better compressor.
