I have a 60 gallon Campbell Hausfeld that is now 4 ish years old.  Its a beast, never had an issue with it.  2 cylinder.  Got it from Tractor Supply.  Only wish it was here at the apartment, bet that would piss off the neighbors!
One 88

hmm,
Well it wasn't giving me the add to cart option, And i noticed in your screenshot that you hadn't selected a store.
So after playing i went ahead and deleted all my cookies from the site then went back and denied it from setting any, And then the add to cart option was there like you said/showed.

Bummer is...
I signed in, Added it to cart and went to checkout and it did some internal check and came back with "Our real-time inventory check found unavailable items in your shopping cart. We'll save these items in your shopping cart for your next visit to Lowes.com".

So looks like it's a no go.

And yea, I'm a bit concerned about noise because i rent out the bottom level of my parents 2 level house.
So i've got my mom, dad and grandmother to worry about noise wise.

That shows the 60 gal cobalt for $89.97
Under a hundred buck's I would buy two!
 
I hauled my 60 gal upright in the back of my truck, 40 miles at 70mph with 4 cheep tie down straps holding it up on the small pallet it comes on sitting on top of 10 sheet's of 3/4 plywood. Was a bit nervious the straps would come loose and the wind would blow it over out the cack of the truck and into the grill of that mini van that was tailgating me. I stopped halfway and checked the straps and they were all tight. No problems at all.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Woo Hoo!
Victory is Mine!, Lol.

Just got back from about a 40 mile round trip to the rainier lowes with my new kobalt 60gal compressor, Which is the only store within 30+ miles of us...? that had the 60gal in stock.

It was a crazy wild chase, but i got the sucker. :hick:
I'm tired now, lol.

I'll post more about it later. :D

Yesss!. :hick:

Well,
It was a crazy wild chase to get one, I was willing to pay up to $400 w/tax (My Budget for this) at this point with how much trouble it was to get one.
The husky was available... But so tall! and heavier than the kobalt.
I also heard it was fairly noisy.
I had wanted the kobalt since i laid eyes on it online anyway...

Anyway,
For over a month i had been relying on the website to keep me informed of whether or not the stores had them in stock, Then i would call and ask further, But then something happened and none of the kobalts are on the website anymore...

So i've been calling pretty frequently the past few weeks, with many let downs and false info on there inventory of them.
This past friday the seattle store said they had got 10 in! I couldnt make it in that day so we went the next... And they were sold out?!
The man at the seattle store says he cant keep these things stocked, they sell like crazy apparently.
Then i call my nearest lowes and they start telling me they aren't carrying the 60gal anymore...
Then i call the everett store and they tell me they just sold the last (Grr), But checks the state inventory for me, And the Rainier shows 3 in stock!
I call and confirm, They say they have 2...

So i talk dad into going down there with me, I run over to "Tool World" And i see it! a 60gal on the floor, Woo Hoo!
The employee is there and says thats our last one, And it's our display. So sorry we can't sell it. (WTF)

Im bugging him and bugging him to sell me the display, He gets his manager, The manager says he cant sell the display then checks the computer and it shows 3 in stock...
They Disappear in the stock room for like 10mins.

They come back and say they cant find any?!... I'm saying over and over ill take the display, we drove a long distance to get here, The other stores have sold the display, blah blah.
The manager finally says:
"Heres what i can do...
This display has been here since about july of last year (LOL!), If your willing to take it (...I've said over and over i would) i can give you 10% off the price and let you have it, as ive been told weve sold the displays before."

I'm like I'LL TAKE IT.
So he gets the younger employee to haul it up front, It has a bag on the front with whats supposed to be the accsessories that come with it i guess? i only know of the rubber feet (which it was missing, no biggie) bu when the kid moved the pallete he found a 200psi water pressure gauge and threw it in the bag thinking it went with it (Freebie!).
BTW, the compressor was DUSTY!.

I have a Home Depot 20% coupon, store owner/manager denies it, But i also have a Lowes 10% and they take that and stack it on top of the other 10%.

We go out with 2 employees, My Dad, And I and takes all 5 of us to load it on it's side into my moms '89 dodge caravan(ROFL).
We have a very bumpy ride home as my moms van is ready to retire soon.

Such a pain to get one of these things! And apparently you cant trust the computers inventory at lowes.

with tax i paid about $351. :hick:
