Hey gang,
I noticed that there is a "new" type of air compressor on the market
lately. They are called "oil less". Last time I was a
Sears, they had a 60 gal 5hp oil-less compressor for under $400.
They also had the same compressor I purchased a "oil"? compressor
30 gal 5hp for just under $500.
I asked the sales man about the differences between the 2
compressors besides the obvious - the oil-less one has a larger tank
and cost about $100 less than the older type. The only thing the
could tell me was they were direct drive?
Anyway, does anyone know anything about these oil-less compressors?
What's the story? How come you appear to get more for less? Which
is better? If you were going to purchase a new compressor which would
you get, the older type or the newer oil-less?
Thanks in advance
John
