Default Compressor < $500

In the market for a compressor for the garage. 20-30 gallon with a decent duty cycle.

What do y'all have/recommend?

Id go bigger if you have the option / space. this one's still around your price range.seems everyone I know and myself have always found a way to outgrow a 20-30 gallon.

I definitely wouldn't mind going bigger. I'm going to go by my local store today and see if they have it. Thanks

Home Depot and Lowe's have the same exact compressor listed as a Husky or Kobalt (gloss or flat black).
That is an awesome compressor if you have the service required to run it; it's quiet for a compressor (if it was in a closet, you'd barely hear it), builds pressure quick and I used that machine for about 3 hours of run time each day for two years and it still ran flawlessly when I sold it.

If you're going to tractor supply bring a 20% off harbor freight coupon found in hot rod or carcraft. I asked the store manager if they would match a competitors coupon of a fixed discount on one item and she accepted it when i got my 80 gallon IR on black Friday this past year.

It's worth the shot to save a little coin.
