Introducing "ACD Recommends"

ACD Recommends 12 Residential Air Compressors

ROMEOVILLE, IL (August 14, 2006) - It's hard to get an honest, straight-forward recommendation anymore -- especially when it comes to air compressors. Most retailers are loyal to the single brand on their shelves, according to Jon Hoch, founder of AirCompressorsDirect.com. "Guess what? The Campbell Hausfeld dealer is going to recommend Campbell Hausfeld. The Coleman Powermate dealer is going to recommend Coleman Powermate. Surprise!" jokes Hoch. So, how do you truly know how each model stacks up? AirCompressorsDirect.com just launched "ACD Recommends" to help shoppers compare the top air compressor brands in 4 different categories: 1. Small Inflators 2. Portable Air Compressors 3. 10-25 Gallon Air Compressors 4. 26+ Gallon Air Compressors The recommendations are more than simply ranking air compressors into small, medium and large. Everyone already does that, says Hoch. In addition, they're not just a list of best sellers. Just because it's a best seller doesn't give it "Best-in-Class" status. The e-tailer combined the last two years of sales history, dozens of customer reviews and some personal insight to generate their final recommendations. "We’ve been selling air compressors online since 2003. We know what's great. We know what's junk. And, we're not afraid to say so," says Hoch. Once the dust and data settled, only 12 of 98 air compressors sold by AirCompressorsDirect.com were given the prestigious "ACD Recommends" status.

By providing the recommendations and reviews, AirCompressorsDirect.com hopes to arm shoppers with enough ammunition to pick the perfect air compressor for their needs. “We’re loyal to our customers – not our suppliers,” says Hoch. “Our intention is to make the shopping experience as simple as possible. We hope they appreciate our honesty.” # # #
