Anyone have any experience with this particular IR compressor? Likes, dislikes? Asking for a buddy. :)

Thanks! :D

It's an "IR". What's not to like? :D Certainly better than the offerings at most of the Borgs! :cool:

Chris,
I have the 3hp version of this compressor and could not be happier with it. I think I paid 469 for it sometime over the summer. This could be the best deal on an industrial quality compressor out there. Be sure to tell your friend to install an extention to the water drain valve BEFORE mounting it to the floor. Otherwise it is a real pain to drain the water from the tank.
There are several other creekers that own this unit, so maybe they can add something to my comments.

If I am not mistaken, I have the 3hp version in my shop and couldn't be happier. 'Bought it on sale from Tractor Supply and have a thread on it somewhere here at SMC.
