Puma Compressors

Anybody here have a Puma air compressor? I have seen some 20 gallon, 2 stage models at a local farm store and I was wondering if they were any good. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I believe they are mfg in europe and packaged here. Befor you buy one why dont you get price and availability of a set of rod inserts, piston rings and a gasket kit. You may find that they do not provide repair parts. I have seen a few of them in the field and found them to be noisy, vibrating and hot running. I was not impressed.
