I have one of the newer Sears compressors that is permanently lubed. These
units feature a much smaller piston(s?) that operate at a higher rate. The
pressure and flow rated don't seem to suffer as a result.
I'd say the noise is somewhat worse than a conventional design, but
that is pretty subjective. It is about as large as you can go on 110
volts. The sale price was quite reasonable.
I haven't had any problems with it in the two years I've owned it.
Anyone know much more about them? I do wonder whether it will last as
long as a more conventional design in the same price range.
