SOMETHING
A Start-Up Kit (sold separately) supplies the oil and filters needed to maintain the SS5.
100% Continuous Duty Cycle and Extended Pump LIfe
The SS5 gives you more delivered air, which means more power. Offering 18.1 cfm at 90 psi, the SS5 is a single-stage compressor, which means it compresses air to final pressure in just one stroke.

Ideal for almost anyone--from the do-it-yourselfer to the professional--this must-have tool features 100% continuous duty cycle for the toughest applications, as well as an extended pump life for years of hardworking service.

Versatile and Easy-to-Use
An indispensable addition to any shop or garage, the versatile SS5 can dramatically decrease the amount of time spent on a project. Use it for around-the-house jobs, such as clearing the dust off of a workbench and checking air pressure in your tires, or for heavy-duty professional tasks, such as die grinding.

Electric Motor is Powerful and Quiet
Complete with a 1/2-inch air NPT outlet, the SS5 owes its powerful performance to a 5-horsepower single-phase motor with thermal overload protection and manual reset for longer life. The motor runs on a standard 30-amp, 230-volt household outlet and spins quietly. And because the SS5 is electric, it can be used in any enclosed space where gas power is not a safe option.

The SS5 is backed by a one-year warranty.

Outstanding; just make sure you have it set up right
Bought this from Amazon for the cheapest price on the web, particularly when you factor in the free shipping. Mine was packed well and sat on a pallet. It is very heavy, so make sure you have it in position before taking it off the pallet.

The unit is quiet, much quieter than the standard small 110v compressors you see at Sears/HD/Lowes. There's only a light hum if you close the garage door. It is also extremely efficient - fills rapidly and can run continuously on the Ingersoll Rand all season lubricant. Provides plenty of power. Very simple and straightforward design - which should make it more durable and reliable in the long run. IR tech support is excellent and these are amongst the best compressors you can buy. Basically, they allow you to focus on the job, not on setup and tool management.

A few things to note when buying this in case you don't have experience with this type of product.

1. You will need an air regulator to regulate...

Excellent Compressor
I bought this compressor because I wanted to get into auto painting and my 5.5 CFM Lowes compressor could not cut it. I did my research and compared this compressor to locally available compressors and other compressors at a similar price point around the web, but nothing else compared in price/performance ratio.

I purchased from Amazon and the free delivery (including lift-gate and basic placement service) made this an even better deal than the other competitors whom charge extra for unloading off the truck (lift-gate).

When you receive this compressor, what you will need is ~2 pints of compressor oil lubricant (I bought synthetic for $6/pint at Lowes locally) and your own power cable and plug to wire into the compressor (needs 230V/single phase/60Hz., using the black/red/green wires (hot/hot/ground) [white-common is unused]). While on the power subject, another reviewer recommended using 6AWG wiring and 60AMP plug/receptacle/breakers... THIS IS NOT NEEDED...
Cheap made
Had the comp 1 year when motor went out. Phone rep said voltage supply may be too low. Service tech and electrician said supply was fine. $300 new motor from the factory. 1 year later, motor fried, $200 rebuilt motor. 10 mo later, pump died.

In fairness, I use this moderate to heavy use. When on the phone with the rep, I explained that I bought this "heavy duty" compressor specifically because it said right on the lable, "rated for continual use.". Her EXACT words were, " Oh, that's a little misleading. What it means is that there's a continual air supply." Wow.

My advice is skip ANYTHING with Ingersol Rand on it. This is not the first piece of crap I've bought thinking it was "heavy duty" by them, but it is the last. They price all their stuff as if it's built to work, but I've found the hard way that it's all made of the cheapest junk they can find.

For those really doing their homework on the reviews, you'll see this review on the other 230hp 60gal...
