An oil-less compressor is going to be loud and relatively short-lived.

Craftsman and other manufacturers were bitchslapped by the FTC for grossly inflating their HP numbers sometime after this compressor was sold. It's the same for Shop Vacs but somehow they've managed to escape prosecution so far.
For people looking to buy an air compressor...don't pay attention to horsepower figures. Look at air delivery. How many SCFM (standard cubic feet per minute) can the compressor deliver at a given pressure? Then look at the specs of the air tools you intend to use and see if the compressor can handle it. A reasonable 120V portable air compressor will be able to supply around 5scfm at 90psi which will operate most things (excluding most air sanders...those require huge air volumes to operate).

Before everyone flips out this is NOT delusional. This is not a hobby garage compressor. This is contractor grade compressor.
Your average hobby garage compressor is around 1.5 hp. This is 5 hp. Also it's 25 gallon small form factor.
Also they could be configured to run off of 240v. Add this into the fact that you can actually service the motor on it and you have a very desirable compressor.
Add on a fifty foot reel hose (an $80 value) and it's not a horrible deal (for an industrial grade compressor)
And when I said small form factor this is my 1hp 20 gallon for comparison.

I'm not an air compressor enthusiast or anything, is this a bad deal and by how much?
Craftsman compressors aren't that nice. Used compressors are normally thrashed and new ones don't cost that much more.
Probably $80 to $100 would be fair. Maybe as low as $40 if it has problems.
Bought one new for less than 150.
Used Compressors are usually pretty beat. I bought my used 20 gal. husky for $80. you could also get the same thing brand new from harbor frieght for $160 with a coupon
It's not generally a good idea to buy a used air compressor. They could have aspirated moisture, which then could have sat around rusting the tank.
New, $300. Granted it's only 1.5HP, but it's also (probably) not rusted to shit on the inside and about to rupture.
it was probably around 500$ new
not even close
