Good questions. I think it all depends how much you are going to use it & ho=
w reliable it NEEDS to be.=20
As to what hp rating, I suspect with the CFM & pressure being equal that the=
main difference is how much headroom the motor has. If the motor is running=
at or near capacity it won=E2=80=99t last as long.=20
If you are using lots of air & your budget allows, consider a 2 stage compr=
essor.=20
I had a small oil less compressor that I used on job sites it worked fine un=
til one day it just started running longer, then pressure dropped. The pisto=
n seal died. I purchased an oil lubricated unit to replace it.=20
If you are mainly using air tools & not painting, I=E2=80=99d go with oil. M=
ost of my usage is air tools & media blasting. When we needed to paint a veh=
icle we just added an oil separator & filter. Worked fine.=20

Thanks again for all the replies to my original post about my compressor mot=

With all this going on, I have been doing some thinking about having to buy a=

1. What is the advantage of the different hp motors. I know the big advanta=

for the 5hp is it runs on 220V. But how does the hp affect the compressor. =

Based on the info in the manual, it appears that all 3 versions have the sam=

My current compressor is an oil lubricated one. =20
2. I see oil-less compressors that supposedly have fantastic specs for air s=

that are so much cheaper than oil lubed versions. Any thoughts?
3. Any body have an oil-less compressor? How do you like it? I was readin=

They were saying that the biggest advantage for the oil liubes was for high a=

a 4hp 220V 20 gal unit and my 5hp 220V 30 gal rig were all oil lubed. We go=

bought mine back about '90. So I lean toward them. But is that realistic?
