Campbell-Hausfeld is decent... but the one that comes with the extras
is very light duty... that is, if it's the same one they carry at Home
Depot. That might not be a problem if you're not planning on using it
daily.
I looked at the Campbell-Hausfelds when I got my compressor, but I
wound up going with a DeVilbiss. It's a 60 gallon vertical, and cost
about the same as the 60 gallon vertical Campbell-Hausfeld in Home
Depot... but the DeVilbiss is much heavier and looks much more
durable. The flow numbers were also significantly better for the
DeVilbiss.
It all depends on what you need. If it's occasional use, then the C-H
should work just fine.
