When buying any compressor, always look at the expected life of the unit and then decide and also look at the rpm the pump runs at. The slower they run, the longer they last and compressors are like starting batteries in a tractor, completely ignored until they fail and they usually fail from lack of clean oil or the reed valves get so carboned up, they won't produce compressed air anymore and finally a clogged air filter.
Basically, any air compressor (reciprocating) is just like the engine in your car or truck except it has no fuel inlet system or sparkplugs.
