Not really to the point but ... I've blown up two of them (Craftsman 60 gal). I'll put it politely and say ... I really didn't like them. Very loud, low duty cycle, poor quality (except the tank which was a pretty nice USA made piece).
When the last one started to go I just let it run till it destroyed itself, and I was smiling while it happened because this time I knew I had the funds to replace it with something nice. It made some beautiful horrifying noises as it died.
Yes they are fine for filling tires, running things like a nail gun or other non-high-flow type tools. Not suitable for painting (except maybe single panels), not good for a blasting cabinet etc. But, they'll last a while used within their limits.
