In the market for an air compressor for my garage. I don't need anything super fancy like a 50gal Ingersoll-Rand 240V, but I want something quality that will last and power basic air tools, which are Craftsman. Anyone have good experiences with certain brands or any they would recommend?

 

Would prefer a vertical compressor to allow for more room in the garage...

 

Plenty of my friends use harbor freight compressors (and have for years) with zero problems.

I personally bought a craftsman. I haven't had a problem, and neither have any of their HF compressors, which were 1/3 the price of mine.
