My wife got me the Husky 125psi 6HP version for our 10th anniversary (what a gal!
)...pulled into the driveway and there it sat on a pallet in the garage (with a gift bow)!
I had a 220V outlet installed during home construction in anticipation of buying one of those behemoths in the future.
It occupies a corner of the garage and doesn't really take up much space. It's bolted to the floor, but when it's running, the noise isn't intrusive inside the house (considering the garage sits below the master bedroom), but it's loud in the garage!
Started out using it as a glorified soccer ball and bicycle tire inflator, but later acquired some HC tools from Walmart. Haven't done any real big work like pulling trannys or anything, but the large tank enables me to work uninterrupted.
I may get some real quality power tools in the future.
I would add that portable compressors have their advantages...I want to repaint our wrought iron work surrounding the house, but I need a 1000 ft air hose to effectively do the task!
