Pros & Cons

Belaire is a brand of IMC, that makes the Harbor Freight 5hp/60 gal. and others for some of the big box stores. I know that doesn't help you much but I thought I would mention it.

Thanks for the input. I ended getting it for $650. It is for home use , to do a little sandblasting, try my luck at spraying painting etc.

Efficiency looks pretty decent (cfm per hp), and cast iron cylinders are always good.

Did you mean 7.5 hp for the red line? So, this is the Italian and not the Brazilian pump? Aluminum rods? Isn't the same pump used on CP, Samborn, and others?

I have never seen one in person. That's a good price.

That is some deal, about a third of the going price. Any more where that came from? LOL!!

It was manufactured in 2010, used for about 3 years to run cigarette making machines. about 10 to 12 hrs a day. Oil changed regularly.

I saw that also, that's the way it was posted.
