I finally got too tired of the racket of my 6 year old oil less HUSKY compressor so I found a good deal on a new super quiet Kobalt model, also oil less.
The new Kobalt offers 26 gal. capacity and a slightly larger twin cylinder pump.
Only changes I made were the addition of a water separator on one of the air hook ups and I installed an extended pipe on the tank drain so I didn't have kneel or lay down with one old and one new total knee replacement to dump the condensation. The purchase included the 50' hose which I know isn't the greatest but for free, if it blows out I'll replace it with a better one.

Nice! I've done similar drain mods on my last two compressors. A length of tubing on the end and out the garage door vents the air/water when I drain it.

My opinion, likely the best 26 gallon on the market right now.

Keep us posted on how it performs!
