I have an 80 gallon horizontal. i dont even remember the HP rating. i am thinking 5. it is 220 single phase. its a big mean old monster that was NAPA brand. i have no idea how old it is, probably at least 15 years. i got it free from a divorce/moving out deal several years ago. IMO, if you are buying a compressor, buy one you will like for years to come.

IR makes good stuff, and last time i was at Tractor supply, they seemed to have fair pricing on pretty manly units. my advice, buy the most compressor you can afford and fit in the available space. when/if this one i have dies, i will be looking at an upright as well. since free is a strong motivating factor, i made do with the horizontal, but in any shop/garage floor space is at premium, so upright is best in my opinion.
