    keefe,

    Thanks for the review. I'll ask. Did you try to pursue it with a manager or wring the company? It's a pain, but usually you get some help.

    I purchased a Central Pneumatic from Harbor Freight for $100. No problems for 5 months.

    keefe,

    Oil less compressors are okay. Some put out good pressure, but usually they don't put out as much air as you end up wanting in the future. If noise is a problem, then you're probably need one. Larger oil type compressor are all shipped without oil and you must add the oil prior to use. Here is a link I found about air compressors from Hallmark Airbrush. It simplifies compressors and terms.
