Walmart Bostitch Air Compressor

[Crasen]

Does anyone have experience with Bostitch air compressors sold at Wal-mart? It would be for home use so it would not be used all day every day. It is an "oil free" compressor so I doubt it would have great durability and would probably be rather loud. I have a $250 Walmart gift card so I am considering getting one from Walmart instead of Sears, Home Depot or Lowes. I really can not justify spending the money on a really nice air compressor since work has been on the slower side since 2008 and I have college tuition to pay for. Here is the Bostitch air compressor http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bostitch-Comp-BTFP02028/26913688
I am assuming it is part of a Bostitch economy line that might not be much better quality then a Campbell Husfeld compressor such as http://www.walmart.com/ip/Campbell-...e-20gal-ASME-Oil-Free-Air-Compressor/17128859

Walmart is such a large purchaser they often have "Special Production Runs" in China to fill the order. In some cases the quality is even lower then your standard "Chinese Built"
