I've got a Kobalt that looks like the 60 gallon they currently sell.
Though it may have little relevance to today, I've had mine for about ten
years and it's worked fine for my occasional shop puttering. I've
sometimes left it switched on for a week at a time so the neighbors can
enjoy it every time the hoses leak down, and it's always run fine.
Just remember when you're unloading it with the engine crane - it's top
heavy and you've slung it below the center of gravity. You may find out
too late that this is relevant.
