Don et al.

I don't have any experience with this company.

But when buying a compressor, don't believe the lables as to their horse
power.  You'll find many a manufacturer billing their compressor as 5hp
or greater and their not.  A 5 hp compressor will require 220V.

Check out the article I wrote on my Morgan web page:

I explain why.  If you can get the specs on the "running" current, that's
what you want to go by when calculating the HP.
