depends on what you mean by "middle priced". personally, i'd recommend a good used Jun-Air or Werther Panther over anything else new, but good ones at good prices can be hard to find.

Hello,

If you ever need air to run other tools---
and have a garage.
Buy a bigger one and pipe the air into your shop.
I buried the 1/2" rubber-type hose and have a switch in my basement shop--no noise.

PS, the hose does freeze up at the compressor once or twice a winter!

Don't know what you mean by middle price but I'm using a Silent air compressor that works nice and is quiet.

These are very quiet and way cheaper than Silair.

Look them up on youtube and you'll find comparison videos that will amaze you of the difference.

I have the GMC 6310 with the 6 gal tank. I put mine in my attached garage and I can't hear it running in the room next door. Its not as quiet as the Silair etc but its a lot cheaper. I use it almost daily and it provides nice clean dry air. Just make sure to drain the water out of the tank daily. Wayfair will give you a 10% discount if you access their website several times. The discount shows up in a popup ad on other websites. If you already have an old compressor with a tank and are handy, you can buy just the compressor motor - look for California air on the Wayfair web site.
