Size
The Quincy 2V41C60VC is a free standing or stationary air compressor which has a 60 gallon vertical tank making the entire unit stand over 5 feet tall. It weighs over 400 pounds so it's best to determine a primary location for the compressor before installing it. It comes with a base that allows it to stand securly upright while it is running although many people do still attach a safety belt to the wall to ensure the tank does not get jostled to the ground. At that weight, it's best to be safe.
Performance
Offering 15.9 CFM at 90 PSI and 15.2 CFM at 175 PSI, this Quincy unit means business and will power whatever air tools you throw at it. The five horsepower motor requires a 230 volt AC source like most other compressors of this size. It has a maximum PSI of 175 and is built to run a 100% duty cycle.
Pump Type
The Quincy 2V41C60VC has a 2-stage belt drive pump with solid cast iron cylinder to keep it free from puncture damage. Because the pump operates at a low 1310 RPM, it is extremly efficient, able to produce more airflow at a lower horsepower which lowers operating costs. With a 50,000+ hour pump life, this Quincy compressor can last you a lifetime.
Noise Level
At about 75 decibels, it is fairly quiet for an air compressor of any size. Because it runs at a low RPM, this results in the noise level being low. For comparisons sake, a typical vacuum cleaner registers about 70 decibels.
Who It's For
This is an industrial grade air compressor which is quiet popular with homeowners with larger garages, who like to work on cars (auto body or mechanical) or wood working projects. You will never have to worry if your air compressor is powerful enough for your air tools again. The Quincy 2V41C60VC can easily power a mechanic's shop with multiple users working off of the compressor at the same time. If you think this unit might be a little too much for your needs or you desire a bit more portablility, a good option would be the Industrial Air IL1682066 which has a smaller 20 gallon tank and offers 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI.

Final Verdict on the Quincy 2V41C60VC Air Compressor
The Quincy 2V41C60VC is meant for homeowners and small businesses which require more power and airflow than the common portable compressor. While many homeowners put one in their garage, it is a machine that should be used often to stay in good working order. It will literally last for a lifetime and is one of the lowest vibration models on the market. While it is not silent, for its size, it is one of the quietest stationary air compressors available. There's good reason why the Quincy 2V41C60VC is one of the least returned models out there and customer satisfaction is extremely high.
