Which Air Compressor

[ChargerMan426]

Looks like I will finally be able to buy a new air compressor in the new year. I had set my eyes on the Quincy QT-54 for a while now but while starting to look again I've come across Polar Air/EMAX silent air compressor line. Looking at the comparison below it looks like a no brainer to go with the Polar Air but I feel like I'm missing something here... My quick and dirty comparison below but the Polar Air has a bigger tank and higher CFM with a longer warranty to boot.

I'm still leaning towards the Quincy just for the name but a larger tank, longer warranty, and quieter operation is hard to look pass.

Polar Air

The Eaton / Polar Air compressors are built in Ohio, if that's important to you. They look like a quality product, and I like the quieter operation. https://eatoncompressor.com

I think you mis-typed about the warrantee...Polar Air's is 5 years.
