Note that the blemished one will come in somewhat protective original packaging and will probably arrive relatively unscathed. While the reconditioned will likely be loose in a cardboard box and comes with a high risk of shipping damage.

I recommend spending the extra few bucks for blemished unless you have a local store to pick up and return the reconditioned one to if needed.
I have this unit and it is incredibly loud inside the house.

I used it for nailing trim and shoe moulding and had to wear ear protection the entire time, especially when the compressor ran. Maybe it isn't as loud in a shop but in the house it is definitely a little uncomfortable.
1 year for reconditioned and 3 years for blemished

You do no want to use this for blowing dust out of a computer. These release moisture. You want something like this, if you don't want to keep buying cans of compressed air: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...asin_title
I've had one for about a year, and it's amazing.

Do you make the habit of draining the release drain spigot after each use?
Absolutely. This is 100% how it came. I heard something swishing inside and thought they just forgot to purge it.

Just wanted to share, because if I hadn't noticed the condensate was off color, i wouldn't have taken off the release valve to look inside. Likely a rare case, but I'm sure there are people who return them like this last day of warranty. I was just surprised DTO didn't vet it before reselling.
Either way, I'm glad I noticed it then and didn't have to find out after it being banged the wrong was when it was at 140psi.

They don't last? What was your experience with it?
Good for blowing up basketballs, slow, cord has a short in it. Save your money and buy something better, but then again 40 bucks is cheap

Sorry...deviation. While looking at this on HD's website, I saw a 'cordfless' 18V Ryobi blemished for $89. Sometimes cordless is good, sometimes not. Anyone have any input on the Ryobi or similar? My use...filling low car tires, pool toys, blowing dust, etc., so light use. No nail guns, no sprayers.

Not really. There would still be moisture even after bleeding out. Water condenses from high pressure unless if you install a filter.

Even if you have a filter the high pressure discharge of a big compressor will mess up your computer. Use a dedicated air duster like this:

You could waste an hour of your life getting dust out of a PC with this, and then someone could use an air compressor on it and you would realize you wasted an hour of your life. A vacuum is part of the toolkit but so is an air compressor.
The only concern with an air compressor is that it tends to force dust particles into fan bushings and bearings. Good technique helps with that. People also tend to spin their fans really fast with the compressor and that's bad because it can spin the fan faster than it is capable of spinning on it's own power, which can also damage the bearings.

Interesting and baffling - I see comments like this and never fully understand them. You are telling me that you are running Nailers and you are using no hearing protection and you are griping about the noise of the compressor, not the nail gun? What is your guess about the sound of the nail gun vs the compressor? I only use a compressor like this for nail guns and I always have hearing protection so the noise the compressor makes is a non-issue. I am ordering the blem one.

Maybe stupid question but
If I just want to use this to shoot air to clean things like fridge coils, what else do I need to buy with it?

Not sure if you are joking or not but for anyone thinking of using any such compressor to air dust their computer - don't! I killed my 460ti this way many years ago.
If you do it properly with about 30-40 psi and be smart about holding down the fan blades when you blow air through them there's no issue. Making such mistakes doesn't warrant bad tool but user IMO.

Harbor freight sells pneumatic gun: https://www.harborfreight.com/eng...68290.html that allows to add cleaning solution to clean stuff like automotive engines and the like so it could be one of the options. Always be aware of how much power you use for certain things so you don't destroy/damage them. There's a reason manuals and common sense in worst case exists. The pressure regulator allows adjusting power to match applications so don't forget it exists on the compressor for that very reason.
