I am currently trying to decide what brand and type of compressor to get for my garage. I like a small 13 gallon Campbell Hausfield, but it has an oil less maintenance free pump that my brother in law (in the business) said will not last, especially with winter operation. My garage is attached and has two "inside" walls and seldom goes below freezing in the winter, but He has me concerned. - Even cambell hausfield's web site speaks of their "long life" belt driven (oiled) units.

How long have some of you guys had your home air compressors and should I have a concern with near frezzing temp operation?

Thanks,

Don C

About five years ago, I bought a Sears Oil-Less 5hp, 50 gallon compressor. I hate it. It makes so much noise, you can't hear yourself think. I do a lot of painting, and this thing runs constantly. Do yourself a favor and buy a belt driven unit. They are much quieter.
