I bought my compressor just before the first of these augmented floor pumps arrived on the market. Something like a $100 investment including a hose and chucks. I think it's a 2 gallon (it's pretty small, I didn't want it taking up a ton of space), and it tops out at 100 psi.
Seating a single tire depletes so much of the stored air that I need to turn the compressor on again to seat a second tire (and I'm usually doing these in pairs). And as you note, Cam, it takes quite a while to get there.
Now that I live in an apartment it's even more apparent how loud the thing is; fortunately our neighbours are easygoing, but you won't find me seating tires at the beginning or end of the day.
Seems one of these is in my future. If only because it (literally) sounds more pleasant than.
