[JAYZCAVSRI]

Im looking to buy an air compressor for my garage around the 100litre size.

Whats the best value for money?

Is belt driven better?

What's the quietest you can get? if thats possible?

Any ideas and opinions would be great as ive never owned one.

Thanks

Definitely belt driven without a doubt. Direct drive compressors sound like the world is about to end.

Thanks guys it seems to be that the belt driven is slightly quieter than direct.
Is sealey and clarke middle of the range and worth going for??

I've been using Whispair compressors for the past six years now and they are so quiet that you have to make an effort to hear whether it is on or off... If you can get your hands on such a compressor maybe from a sale or auction I'd say go for it!!
