Hello,
I bought this husky compressor yesterday at homedepot for a great deal (about 400$). I haven't picked it up yet, and now I'm wondering if I shouldn't bother after reading the reviews. My budget was 500 so it definitely fell within that (given the regulator, tubing, 10/3 cable, etc). It obviously isn't a 1k$ compressor or some old CL treasure, but I was wondering what your thoughts were on it. Secondly, are all the air compressors below the exact same? They all have the same specs so I'm wondering if they're all equal in quality. Some have better reviews then others, I had been looking at the Kobalt ones for over a year but theyre never in stock >100miles of me.
If it matters my main use for this is for mild car work (probably 5-10hrs a month use), with the occasional spraying (some wood work and eventually a couple cars). 13.4cfm is more than enough for the devilbiss high efficiency plus guns I was looking at. I'd like the compressor to last me a minimum of 5-10yrs without serious (motor) issues. My previous compressor was a POS HF that never worked right.

Are the rest the exact same:

I also think they recently changed the model of some of these. Like I know about 2 years ago there was some shift with Kobalt, I almost caught it on sale then. And the Husky one used to be Red and now is black, assuming more has changed. Just not sure if this is a good change or a bad change, a lot of the negative reviews seem to be from people who purchased the compressor over a year ago.
Thanks!
