My experience with two sears compressors has been complete satisfaction. I
have a twin cylinder 1hp unit that I bought new in 1974. It has painted cars,
supplies my blast cabinet, and with some difficulty, will power air sanders
and the like.
In 1987, I bought a 5hp twin cylinder model when I built my 4-car garage/shop.
This one keeps up with everything. The tank is only 20 gallons, but its scfm
rating is the same that they had on larger 5hp models. The difference is in
the drive motor, I guess. These are real motors (1hp and 5hp) judging by the
current draw.
Both machines have been near flawless with nothing more than minor routine
maintenance. The small one developed a few inor plumbing leaks, but nothing
more.
