60 gallon air compressor. You need a 220v outlet to run it. It's a Morgan which is a refurbished. They are either Husky( home depot) or kobalt (Lowes) refurbs then painted black with a Morgan sticker slapped on.
Use promo code 149499 for $50 off of orders over $250.

I've been looking for a compressor for a long time and this is a smoking deal.

Looking around, it looks to be the equivalent of a $600 compressor with that CFM:

There are only a few air compressor manufacturers and everyone just slaps their label on and sales them. If you look closely the Morgan looks like the same compressor as the craftsman you've linked.
I purchased the compressor and will probably go ahead and get the 1 year extended warranty for $34. That still gives me a 60 gal compressor with warranty for $285 before tax. Check Lowes, Sears, or HD. $285 gets you a plastic 20-30 gallon oil less piece of junk.

That is a hot deal OP. I've been looking for a good air compressor and, if it didn't require a 220V hookup, I'd be all over it.

Check out the Morgan 30 gal. It's the same compressor as the Lowes $500 kobalt. $299 use coupon code above and you got a cast iron oil bath 30 gal that will run on 110 for $250.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up.

Is there a big difference in quality between the Morgan and this Husky unit from Home Depot? Looks to be pretty similar but comes with a 3yr warranty.

No. Pretty similar as far as quality. It'd be $284 with the one year for the Morgan vs $429 for the Husky 3 yr. Personally I'd get the Morgan and still have the money to get me a few accessories like a goodyear 50ft rubber hose and a half inch impact.

The 30 gallon cast iron can be had at Home Depot for $289, new. Then you can get a 10% off coupon and get it for around $260.

How do you get it to $270? $439 price if you get lucky and get a manager to take off 10% (which depends entirely on the manager of the store) you're at $396.

mazeroth · Oct 11, 2012

Uhhh..well you might want to compare it to the 30 gallon that I stated. And you might want to click the link...I also corrected my original post to $260.

Must be different prices for different regions? The link you've posted gets me to a black Husky that shows a price of $439.

Must be by store. I have my store saved and it comes up to $289 for me too.

Well in that case it's a no brainer. I live near Fort Worth/Dallas and we have tons of construction and what not. I guess we get gouged on power equipment.

60 gallons....d@mn, lol.

Thanks for the advice. If I had a nice shop wired for 220V, I would definitely go for the deal in your OP.

I own this compressor in the Kobalt version. It is an excellent consumer grade compressor. I think it really does put out as much air as it states. I've painted cars before (and I'm not at all good at it), but you could paint a car with this one. The compressor runs smoothly, much better than my old Campbell Hausfeld, which always sounded like it was going to throw a rod, even when it was new.

Besides fill up tires and making things go flying what do you guys use these compressors for?

Run an impact, blow out shop with air instead of sweeping, various air tools, possibly some painting and sandblasting in the future.

Very nice for blowing all the dust bunnies out of your rig too.

I can't get the promo code to work for the 30 gal one.

How would this one compare to the MAC2400 in terms of noise? I'm in a condo so I need to be wary of sound output. I'll probably end up building an enclosure for whatever compressor I end up getting, but I'd like it to be as quiet as possible to start with.

As far as sound I think it would be similar as both are oil bath. Promo code works still. You just go through most of the process before the $50 off shows up. I would ask what you want to do with the compressor as you've chosen two pretty different types of compressor? The mac is a 4 gallon that would be best suited as a portable job site type compressor used mainly for very low air needs such as nail guns. The 4 gallon capacity is way too low for doing anything more than running nail guns or inflating tires. The Morgan 30 gallon is somewhat portable but you wouldn't want to lug it around with you. At 30 gallons you are getting a compressor capable of running pretty much anything you'd want to do as a homeowner. It will be plenty for running an impact.

Jaepheth · Oct 12, 2012

Well, I was originally looking mainly at maximizing CFM and minimizing sound.
I figured I could get a spare tank to increase the MAC's usefulness.

But I think I'll just go with the 30gal Morgan. Thanks.
