Jerry's right, they are noisy compared to the belt drive. I have an eighty
gallon that is stationary and puts out half the noise of the single stage.
But for an inexpensive, portable unit, these do a good job. I replaced a
Campbell Hausfield 20 gallon portable with the Craftsman upright and went up
10 gallons and down a few decibels at the same time. BTW, the Campbell had
been around for about fifteen years and still ran great, but had developed a
hole on the top of the tank. I could understand a hole on the bottom if I
forgot to drain, but on top?!? Oh well. Merry X-mas!

I think it's all relative. I had it running in the garage to break it in.
The baby slept through it (bedroom above the garage). She is a LIGHT
sleeper. Plus, I don';t use it to make a living, just weekend warrior
stuff...
