My Husky 7HP, 60 gal, that I bought at Home Depot several years ago has served me well. In my wanderings, I've noticed that pretty much all the 60 gal. units now are rated at much lower HP. Don't know why. Maybe its like the old octane measurement numbers and is now calculated differently. No fault of the compressor, but if I could have, I'd certainly figure out a way to have it well away from my work areas. The noise when its running is aggrivating. "feels so good when it quits". I think the "phase" designation has something to do with electrical usage, but not sure. Bet there's more than one sparky out there than can 'spalin.
