I would recommend this compressor to any one.It does not pull very many amps so it can be used on a low amp breaker and a long extension card .I am a serviceman and have been using a craftsman dual tank compressor for many years. The bostitch compares to the craftsman.Have read reviews that people has said the bostitch is loud.All compressors that put out any volume of air will make noise and each compressor has there on tone of noise.I can not hear that this compressor is any louder than others. It just has its on tone.You can not go wrong with this compressor for medium use.
