I have an 80 gallon Porter Cable single stage that is 12 years old. It is fine for small jobs and tools but runs constantly when I use my blast cabinet or any sort of tool that runs a lot like a sander, polisher, die grinder etc. It is also pretty loud but
I've had no problems with it other the how hot it gets. (I really need to move my blast cabinet away from the tank!)</div>

I don't know what a "scroll compressor" is but assume it's better than my single stage. </div>

Buy a two stage if you can afford it (unless the scroll type does the same thing). </div>

I’m in the market for a compressor. I’m looking for about 10 CFM at 90 psi.<br>
<br>
I actually have an Eastwood scroll compressor on backorder, but I’m getting anxious, and thinking about other things to spend the price difference on. I do like that the scroll compressor is very quiet, though.<br>
<br>
I’ve looked at four possibilities, all much cheaper than the Eastwood:<br>
<br>
Husky 60 gallon (from Home Depot)<br>
Kobalt 60 gallon (from Lowes)<br>
Puma PK-6060 (from Amazon)<br>
Campbell Hausfeld VT6195 (from Grizzly)<br>
<br>
The Husky and Kobalt are very close in price, the Puma and CH are a bit more.<br>
<br>
The Kobalt is dual-stage, the rest are single stage (but dual cylinder), but all meet my expected air requirements.<br>
<br>
I believe the Kobalt is made by CH, though it is not the same as the CH model I’m looking at.<br>
<br>
Any experience or comments on any of these choices? Anything else I ought to look at in a similar range?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Darrell<br>
