Minor correction from their website ... It may be assembled in Minnesota but "This air compressor includes components that are made overseas. It is assembled in the USA."
Claims to have an after cooler but I do not see one where I would expect to see one in the picture. Their definition of 'after cooler' may be different than what I think it should be.
They say "Operates at slower RPM" but do not say what the compressor RPM actually is. Slower is usually quieter.
The motor is a Leeson which is a good thing in my opinion.
2 stage, 175 PSI, 80 gallon tank, cast iron, 100% duty cycle, rebuildable (assuming you can get the parts) are all good things, again in my opinion.
Be sure to add filters, dryers, regulators, automated drains, plumbing, wiring for a dedicated 30 amp outlet, etc. to your budget.
Just my thoughts,
Arvid
