Well, good question. I'm not familiar with the brand and the site does not list any real details like rated flow or motor RPM not even a rating for the power of the motor. Everything is left to guess other than tank size. I would have to assume based on the price its in line roughly with a Kobalt or a Husky or something similar. Probably would work fine around the house unless its used non stop like a commercial model.

I'm in the market for a air compressor and I've been searching this site for days. I have narrowed it down to either a IR or quincy, but this one came up and peaked my curiosity

Looks similar to Kobalt from Lowes. Take a look at these:

Kobalt 4.7-HP 80-Gallon 155 PSI
Kobalt 5.2-HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage

The one you posted looks like the pump of the 4.7HP Kobalt on the tank from the 5.2HP. Made by Coleman I believe.

Here's a thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115249. There are more related to Kobalt compressors.

Well. I got the industrial air from the link. I was in rural king and it spoke to me lol. Any ways I've ran it quite a bit and I'm impressed. The real test is in the years to come.

Looks pretty good deal for 80 gallon 3 cylinder for $799 . . . . nice price.

Those Rural King locations appear to be concentrated in just Indiana.

Post some pics of your new compressor setup.

What HP did it end up being?? What CFM and psi rating??

Price is good. Then you look at the specs. The motor will be 3450 and the pump is fast as well. It will be LOUD. if you can put it elsewhere the. It should be ok. Rey are hitting a price point with this unit hoping to get the people that thought an 80 gal unit was out of their price range.

Sanborn, black max, Morgan, Kobalt, craftsman and others are all the same.

With that unit if the regulator failed I think you would have a hard time replacing it.
