Looking for a new air compressor

[slacker garage shop]

So I'm looking at buying a new air compressor. For what I do I need a fairly large one with good cfm's. I'm really leaning toward this Quincy. The motor life is 5X the competitors like ingersol rand and the warranty is great,5 years if you use there maintenance kit..
Anyone have any suggestions in that price range?

Cant go wrong w/ a quincy

I love my quincy.

I also love my quincy more than any other tool I own, man it sounds awesome when running, it is from 67 though. I looked at new ones and am still impressed with the fact they are built here at least the ones I saw. If I was buying new it would be a quincy without question.

Another satisfied Quincy owner here. If I were in your situation though I would go ahead and save the extra $600 and get the $1800 two stage machine. It makes more air and the pump spins at a nice slow 942 rpm.

Just an FYI, but that one is "only" rated 30k on the pump vs 50k on the larger models and it uses a 3450rpm motor.

It's on the Quincy brochure, if that is a factor for you.

I have also seen some of the Quincy's come with a WEG (Brazilian) motor.

That being said I almost bought one of those, until I ran across a pretty good used Champion.

Damn you I don't wanna save longer lol, ya that's what I was thinking also though.
You know what's funny? Ive had my POS Campbell hausfield for 15 years, drained the water 1 yes that's ONE time over those years and never had a problem with it and it is used and running 7 days a week. Its just under powdered for what I need it for now. Paid like $250 for it at meijer's
