1 Question
Q: I am trying to compare Ingersol Rand w/the porter cable. IE...will one support a D.A. and a spray gun at the same time better than the other. Price comparison, Noise level, etc... by Nunya from Illinois on October 26, 2011
A: The most important factor in determining if a compressor will work for a particular piece of equipment is CFM. Do you know what the CFM requirements are for the D.A. and spray gun? Once you know that, you can look at the CFM that the compressor puts out and match that to your needs. As far as noise level goes, unfortunatly the compressor manufacturers don't publish the decibel levels for their compressors, so there is no way to compare the noise levels of compressors. by Steve, Product Expert

Steve's Recommendation
This unit is built in the USA to meet the demands of continuous-duty use.
The cast iron cylinders and frame are built to be dependable and last a long time, even in high demand environments.
Since this model is also meets OHSA standards, and is UL, CSA, and ASME approved it has earned it seat in our "Better" slot.
If you need more "oomph" than a 3HP unit can deliver, please take a look at the 5HP that earned our "Best" ranking.

good compressor
This has been a good compressor I've had for 5 years now with moderate to heavy use.
It has broke a few time though the automatic starter quit within 1 year and still acts up with the new one from time to time you just have to walk over and smack the starter. The head gasket has also blown twice.
ACD RESPONDS: Please remember that this unit comes with a Factory Warranty from Ingersoll Rand. It covers defect in materials and/or workmanship for 1 year.
You need to do the maintenance recommended in the Owner's Manual to keep the Warranty in effect.

Made in India
The "product expert" should have a look at the compressor he's an expert on. The compressor has a clearly stamped plate "Made in India". I'm pretty sure about this, I own one.
If you're going to put yourself out there as an expert it might be good to at least read the label.
ACD RESPONDS: Thank you for letting us know- we've updated our product page accordingly.
Our product expert doesn't get the chance to examine each air compressor individually, but he does have over 20 years experience in the air compressor/air tool industry.

"V" Style Air Compressors Are Quieter
My suggestion is to stay away from vertical piston air compressors. I recommend buying the "V" style twin cylinder compressors that are low RPM verses high RPM, since the low RPM machines last much longer and are much quieter.
ACD RESPONDS: Just enter "twin cylinder" into the Search box to see the V twin models we offer.

How to Save on Your Next Air Compressor
A growing number of Americans are pulling the plug on their electric tools and exchanging them for air tools.
So is it time to finally make the switch?
Air compressors have become more affordable in recent years.
In addition, you can save even more by following these three steps:
1. COMPARISON SHOPPING
Many Americans miss the mark when it comes to comparative shopping.
The biggest savings comes from comparing brands - not stores. It's not worth your time and gas money, driving across town to save a few dollars.
2. RECONDITIONED COMPRESSORS
Homeowners can save an additional money by purchasing reconditioned instead of new air compressors.
Reconditioned air compressors are returned to the manufacturer by one of their retailers for a number of reasons. Most are returned with no apparent defect and little sign of use. Many, in fact, have never been used. Others show some minor use or wear.
The manufacturer tests and, when needed, services these products, guaranteeing they meet 100% of new product performance specifications. Many manufacturers even offer a one-year warranty on reconditioned machines.
Think about it. Even the most basic air compressors are designed to last hundreds of hours. A reconditioned air compressor may have been used a few hours, but it costs considerably less.
3. BUY ONLINE
Internet retailers offer three important cost-advantages:
First, Air Compressors Direct.com ships orders directly from the factory to the customer's door. By eliminating the need for warehouses and stores, they can pass considerable factory-direct savings onto the customer.
Secondly, you can save up to 8.5% (depending on your state) by simply not paying state sales tax. For example, Illinois residents would save an extra $42.50 in tax on a $500 air compressor.
Finally, many web sites are now offering free shipping on all air compressor orders. This is a great option for larger air compressors that are too big to fit in your car.
Instead of lugging it home from the store, you can reinvest the time and energy into more important things… like getting your projects done.
