i bought an HF 3 gal. oiless pancake a few months back and i'm on the wall about it.
the CFM is lacking and it struggles to keep up with my AB's at 35PSI.....but...it's ALOT more quiet then my 3 gal. oiled craftsman.
the craftsman DOES charge faster but it's a toss up between constant and quiet or obnoxious noise for 30 second bursts.

either way, you can get a decent comp for less then $100.
and, for focks sake, don't buy an AB compressor.
they're loud for what they are and you don't get a consistant supply of air.
