This is what I had planned to replace my aging twin 20/25hp DeVilbiss units and 20 year old 120G tanks before I lost the lease on my building.

Way too expensive for me, but cool.

It will be the last compressor you would ever need. Well worth the money if you want the quality....Especially if you paint

Myself, I bought a Saylor Beall when I started my shop. Nothing special, but very accommodating for anything I wanted to do.

CFM Displaced @175 psi
5 hp motor
23 cfm @175 lbs
CFM Delivered @175 psi= 17.3
made in the USA
Ran that for 10 years in my shop, and never a bit of trouble. More air than 4 guys could use at one time.
The vertical was the best because it took up less ground room. I had a 6 bay shop, and one storage room for parts.
Paid 2,000.00 delivery included. I got the deal going to a trade show. Along with radiant heat, which vented the exhaust outside.

Where you have the compressor, did you want a connection on each side?

No, just one side is fine. I'm usually the only one using a air tool.
I like my Campbell, a little noisy though. A two stage would be nice.

Yes. Then goes up around 12" then horizontal to near the garage door.

I love mine. Helped a lot,....in building my Cobra.
I had a "Group Buy" years ago, so I received mine really, really....cheap.

For the house, I have a simple Craftsman porta with a 33 gallon tank
For anything else, especially if I was painting a car again, I would have no less than what I posted above. For me, I'd rather have too much of a unit than not enough.

I primed & block sanded my car at home, but painted it in a body shop where my brother-in-law worked. Long time ago now, in 2001.
