Yes, my new Sears is oilless,noisy and probably will have a short life. When I bought it, I was in the middle of painting a car and bought the cheapest compressor that would do the job. I didn't even think about the type of compressor, until I plugged it in. When I heard it, I knew I had made a mistake! I guess I shouldn't cry yet, it is still working.
