It looks like the one I have, but mine is red and says Husky but it is still made by C.H. just like the Lowes brand.  I opted for the twin cylinder just like that one, but I only paid $399 for mine at H.D.   Mine is a 150 psi but the pressure switch shuts off at 120 psi.  It is heavy, but these aren't made to move around.  I wired my new garage specifically for the 240V that this compressor requires.  I have had mine for a year and a half with no problems.  I like the ability to be able to see the oil color and be able to change to oil when it gets dirty.  It is a little loud, but no louder them my old smaller 110V craftsman.

It seems like a fairly capable unit.  I may have a line on a screw type compressior for a few dollars more, and if i can get that one, it's the one i'll use in the new garage.  i mean i'm going to have 220 for the lift anyways so i'll be all set for the compressor.
