Really? They're typicall all made by the same garbage chinese manufacturer. My painters compressor was expensive, bought from home depot and even being a 200 gallon compressor couldn't keep up with our HVLP guns. It was fucking pathetic, the same brand had smaller sizes too. I don't want to mention the brand until i'm certain what it was.
I didn't mention buying used to save money overall, I mentioned it because the shop sized/quality ones are leaps and bounds better compressors. We made our own compressors for the shop because it was cheaper and now we have ones that actually hold some pressure all day. A tank it a tank but what they bolt to it is wildly different. Go to a estate sale for a shop that's closed down or keep your eyes peeled on CL, lots of shops have gone down and GOOD/GREAT compressors are everywhere, will you pay a little more then a new one from home depot or lowes? Sure but these are also compressors that likely sold for 2-3k vs. 200-300
