    That is true. My oiless compressor is very loud, pretty much stops any conversation until it stops. 120v outlets is all I have. This compressor will trip the CFI if anything else is on that circuit. I bought this thing in 2000. It hasn't had a lot of use so I don't really know how robust it really is.

    With air compressors bigger is always better ,but setup is critical. A large pressure differential between cut in and cut out us undesirable when painting. Also don't have the moisture trap too close to the compressor or warm moist air will get through. An after cooler is easy to set up and worth the extra effort.
