Looks like a nice unit. I'd ask what the warranty is before buying.

The 50 with dryer is $494. The 100 is $983 with a dryer. They have a 1 year warranty. Ask for a discount, they offer one to people that call back.

They look good, but I have no personal experience with them.

http://www.amazon.com/GMC-SYCLONE-Ultra-Oil-Free-Compressor/dp/B0038MWDXY This has been the compressor that I've been using for a few years now. It looks like the same motor as the one you have pictured. It get used pretty hard and has held up really well, and it did not cost much. They are not as quite though as the silent-air type compressors, I have mine in a different room from my bench so I cannot hear it. Another benefit is that you do not have to worry about oil contamination.

http://www.wayfair.com/GMC-Power-Eq...6980-GMC1010&gclid=COSsnuv2jbICFURxQgod_WkAcg this one here looks pretty much the same as the one you have shown, just a different brand and cheaper.

I have one of the Syclone 6310s and it has been working great - I have had it for about 6 months. Its not quiet like a refrigerator but it doesn't give me a heart attack when it starts up. I have mine in the garage which is under my shop and I don't hear it. It produces clean dry air. I plumbed it with 1/4 in plastic tubing from the garage up to my shop. I liked the 6310 as it had an inline filter and a larger tank so it doesn't cycle as often - and it only uses 7.6 amps. I figured for the price that I could buy two or three for the cost of the oil type quiet compressors and you don't have to mess with the oil or buy an oil filter. I bought it direct from Wayfair. If you go look at the compressor on the Wayfair.com site, the next time you look they will give you a discount. I just looked and Wayfair is selling the 6310 for $224 with free shipping.

I have a DeWalt air compressor in another room and I control it with a remote control switch:

Why you don't make your own compressor? Old refrigerator compressors good for it. After google search you can find some diagrams that how you assemble it. It will cost you very low.
I had mine about 30 USD. but I don't know how much in your country.
If you can't collect go to the refrigerator service and they collect them in half hour. Probably you will not pay more than 100 USD. for all of it.

This is mine build up with refrigerator compressor and extremely silent. Silent than my refrigerator.

I have been very happy with this one.

Very quiet, very quick recovery.
