Porter-Cable CPLDC2541S 2.5 HP 4 Gallon Oil-Lube Air Compressor

This compressor absolutely will NOT run on 15 amps. Either the motor bogs down and won't run or it will pop the breaker. This makes this compressor almost usless for me because I can never find anywhere to plug it in.

Also it is overly loud. I was just working in a basement at the same time as a guy that had a Hitachi compressor and his was less than HALF as loud.

I have NEVER been disappointed with anything from PC... until now.

I bought this compressor a few day ago. Well, it's quieter than 5.5 hp oilfree compressor I used to have, but still too loud for me. Also gauges do not have any protection and on/off switch is just a joke. Otherwise it works just fine. I'll get something else tomorrow anyway.
