If you're using an orbital sander, it runs out of air eventually, but will sustain about 70psi forever (90 is the recommended). More HP is the only way to solve that. For everything else, it's great. Kinda loud, but I currently have it in a different room with plumbing into the garage.
I have a vertical one and it's really much better on space use.
+1 to the craftsman tank. I used to use Pete's and liked it so much I got one too!
