Those who have experience with both a Air Operated and Electric Operated Coats tire machine. Which do you prefer and why?

They both have advantages and disadvantages. The air motor is much more controllable. you can rotate the tire ever so slightly if you need to.
The electric is quieter, and does not use as much air.

Thanks for the feedback. If you had to choose one which would you go with and why?

I’d go with air. Had both at the day job and the electric got a little stiff in the gearbox and would trip the machine breaker while using, sometimes with a tire on it and sometimes with no load.
