electric air compressor

I'm looking to buy a compressor on wheels, 15 to 25 gal. tank. Any advise on which brand to seriously consider or absolutely avoid?

Thanks

Its not on wheels but I have been very impressed with my Jenny air compressor. They may have some on wheels. I have the 80 Gallon I use in my shop.

I look for ones with pumps that require oil rather than the oilless as they're longer lasting. I also check for the brand of motor/where it was made (Baldor motors are desireable). Check the amperage draw of the motors as well.

Also check the duty cycle on the motor, the best motors have a continuous duty rating.

Anything else is a hobbyist machine.
