Personally, if I needed a portable source of air, I would look for a good
second-hand Hydrovane 5, without air receiver. That is capable of
providing 5 cu ft / min continuously, relatively quietly and, as it has no
pressure vessel, without the need for pressure vessel insurance or
inspections.


5.5kw is not a portable device in handyman terms.
There aren't many homes that have the required power outlets.
They aren't cheap either.
