I needed a relatively light compressor, easy to transport and this suits my purposes. My other compressor is about twice the weight.

This compressor is working great for me so far. A friend who used to due construction was impressed by it's quality for the price.
Some reviews complained that theirs would not hold pressure. I ran into this same problem but it was a super easy fix. The problem was that the water drain on the bottom was OPEN so as it tried to fill the tank with air it was coming right out the bottom, preventing pressure from building. Simply screw this shut and problem solved!

I needed an air compressor for occasional use. After searching the reviews for many hours I learned that oil type compressors may generally have a greater capacity than oil free compressors. But they need a lot more (and regular) maintenance. They depend on splashed around oil for lubrication. So they should be started with the drain open, so the oil can get around before strain is put on the moving parts. And they need to be brought up to working temperature/pressure regularly to heat the oil to drive out moisture. And change the oil frequently, as soon as it starts to darken. Don't wait until it's black. Do all that maintenance and you should get many years of service from your oil type compressor. And avoid extension cords. They can cause motor overheating. Use a longer air hose instead.
By comparison this is all an oil free like the C2002 needs:
I would suggest when plugging a hose into the forward facing connector, do it _before_ pressurizing the tank. That will save pressing really hard in a direction that would unscrew the manifold. If you need to plug into an already pressurized tank, use the connector to the right. That way you're not doing anything to make the manifold want to twist. Extension cords and tripping circuit breakers, not generally a problem. Not that I'm suggesting overdoing extension cords. Eventually the rings will wear out. But you can buy an entire factory rebuilt C2002 on Amazon for $120, including shipping!
Since I first wrote this, I emailed a friend with several decades experience. He said that the home user doesn't need an oiler in the line for air tools. Just put one, at most two drops of Marvel Mystery Oil for air tools in the tool's intake before plugging it into the air hose. You should get a fine mist out when you first start the tool.
He also said he didn't think an oil/water/sediment filter was needed for air blowing. But for me, if I'm blowing out/off electrical or optical equipment (use low pressure!), I'd like a small filter at the intake to the air blow gun. I already have a gun for that type use only. I took it completely apart and deoiled/degreased all of its internal parts and seals.
And remember. when you are through,(also true for oil type):
1) Pull the relief valve until the pressure is down to 20 PSI. If you don't do this, the water may come out with enough force to injure your finger.
2) Tilt the tank so the drain is facing straight down. Then open drain.
3) While tank is draining make sure you rotate the regulator knob until it turns freely.
4) The friend who has used compressors for fifty years told me he runs the compressor with the drain valve open for a few minutes. How long would depend on size of tank. The object is to dry the inside of the tank with warm air. When done, after the pump is off, you can close the drain valve on nice dry tank. (I'm going out to the garage to do that to my C2002 as soon as I finish this update to my Comment.)

My thanks to the several reviewers that went to the trouble to educate us newbies about maintenance of air compressors, particularly the oil type. Credits to Flying V and John E. Schofield on Amazon and TronixH of Richmond, VA and elduac of Auburn, AL on the Sears website. Check their original reviews for more details. Anything not in them is original from me. And I second Flying V's comment.
Further update. I just tested it with a digital Ammeter. 10.0 A peak at start, drops to 7.5 A, then slowly rises back to 10.0 A as it is topping up the tank at 150 PSI. So it should work off of any 120 VAC outlet anywhere there is no other big current user. Unfortunately can't expect it to work with my inverter off of my car's battery. (But I may be in the market for a 1500 W inverter at a good price.)

Works great but there are no instructions on how to use all the pieces in the accessory kit.
