I have a Bostich contractor grade oilless. THe colder the temperature (below 45 degrees F) the longer it takes to even begin to pump. It is a bit noisier than even my 5 hp Kelloge. The oilless have their place. Mine is mounted on the wall to run a motysickle lift and very quik short jobs where i don;t need alot of volumn nor plan to need alot of air for a long time. They are excellent for transporting in a truck or dragging around the ranch because if they tip over or need to be packed into a tight verticle space they won't leak oil.

THe oilless have their place. But i wouldn;t want one as a primary nor sole air source. They're just a nice portable/limited apace compressor.
