Is this Husky compressor still good?

Apparently Home Depot has increased the price of their 8-gallon compressor and changed the color. After looking at them in the store they appear to be put together worse than the old red versions.

Any suggestions for something with better quality for a similar price?

You might as well just buy it from the source, and save some money, you could also use a 20% off coupon. http://www.harborfreight.com/air-to...al-125-psi-portable-air-compressor-69667.html

Seems HF changed the color of it from red to black. I believe I paid $89 for that compressor three years ago.

I'd buy this one instead. Same cheapo compressor and you can use a 20% off coupon. I have had this HF one for 2 years now and still runs great.

I have to say that I am impressed with that little compressor. My nephew and I ran two HF mini needle scalers for three weeks straight with that little thing. Sure, we had to stop every so often to let it build up, but it didn't **** out like I was expecting.
