The above said, before you buy this, you might want to consider the Ridgid, for $99 on a BFD special, first [homedepot.com]. The Ridgid has a 3 yr warranty, and is only 80db loud (which is not very loud for a pancake compressor, esp if you're using indoors). The Goodyear is pretty powerful, though, as it has higher SCFM vs the Ridgid, and max PSI on this Goodyear is 175, while the Ridgid is only rated at 150 psi max. Both are great deals.

I'll be buying this one for sprinkler winterization. No need to spend more money on a larger unit that'll also take more space.

So, it is possible but time consuming. I'd rather go thru each zone 1-2x max.
Keep your eyes open for a 20 gallon or larger compressor with high scfms during the year.
If you're rarely going to use it….the Harbor Freight ones that go on sale will work just fine. Think they go on sale around $200 or so. If you're paying $50 to get them blown out now, it's a 4-5 year payback period.

I've blown out the lines when I was younger at my parent's house. but that was a tiny system.
My problem is storing a giant tool that I'd likely only use one time a season. But the cost savings is definitely up there.

Welcome. Totally get it. I pretty much use the compressor only for blowing out the sprinkler lines and have easily made my money back.
With 10 zones you likely have more than 1/2 acre. You may need an even bigger one if there are long runs on the lines. Then again at $100 a year your payback will be quicker.
Key is to use not too much pressure….believe 60 lbs max is what most places recommend. Most of the black piping is rated for either 90 or 100 lbs psi. Still best not to get close. The pros use a giant compressor with huge scfm. They keep the pressure low….like maybe 40, but due to the high volume of air it works great.
Sounds like you may need a deal on a shed too. 😂.
They have compressors that stand vertically so they take up less space. Good luck on your decision.

I might look from one of the vertical ones. I just don't see myself using pneumatic tools or anything useful. But yes, the ROI is pretty quick, even if it's just for sprinklers.
I am shocked people pay for the spring start-up.. isn't it just popping on the bolt and opening the water on inside, turn on schedule?
