I have a 5hp two stage Champion I bought from a rental company and it was rented out for two weeks prior to purchasing. Rated at just under 20 cfm. Changed oil when needed, filters, kept the tank drained, changed belts a few times, changed the check valve once and am over 12 years into the second motor. The pump and tank have needed nothing. Runs and makes air just like it did when I bought it. Used it for body work regularly for over 15 years. I'm pretty sure I bought it in the fall of 1979. It has paid for itself many times over. One of the best tool investments I've owned....
Edited to add it has never sat outside and has always lived in it's own ventilated room outside a shop...
