Hi Gerald, I believe my Coleman compressor is a competitive model to the C-H unit referenced by others in this forum. I had originally set out to buy the C-H unit but switched when Menard's had the Coleman on sale. Possibly a Coleman outlet may offer an even better proce. They seemed to be virtually equal units. I do find that I generate more moisture in my air line, making a moisture trap and absolute necessity - even in our cold, dry climate. Otherwise, I have found no real drawbacks with this smaller (compared to my old compressor) unit. I have been running mine 2 - 4 times a week, on average, and have had no problems with it. The specs are as follow: Model - VP 201 Tank Capacity - 2 gallon I mis-stated it at 1 gal. onmy earlier note) Power consumption - 2 amps @ 115v. Kick-In pressure - 70psi Kick-Out pressure - 100psi Includes air regulator, air gauges for line and tank pressures, a coiled air line and air chuck. All fittings are 1/4" NPT. List price is about $100 but can be found on sale. I did not see any C-H compressors on sale. This unit has been totally adequate for my air brushing needs. I can easily paint an HO car and clean the brush on a single charge. I usually run the tank to 100psi, turn off the built-in power switch and still have air to bleed off when finished. Hope I have answered your questions. Happy airbrushing - it is the only way to paint and weather rolling stock. Jim
