We looked at all the name brands and when it came down to it, Boge just won out over all of them in everything. We were recommended a compressor contractor by our M&R tech and couldn't be happier. We ended up with a sweet deal on ours, it had just been repo'd so we got it at a sick price, but if I were to shop for another, I would jump on the Boge again. Family owned company, with a US based headquarters in Atlanta. German engineered equipment with a strong US base. No problems with parts "if Needed". Shop owners and auto/tire places I spoke with ahead of time all had the same thing to say. Any of them, from Tire kingdom, to firestone, to smaller places, all had IR, Kaeser, Chicago, all the name brands, all switched to the Boge set up, and Prevost Airline system with inline coalescent filtering and the Boge chillers. Super efficient, quiet, and needs service done at a fraction of the times of the other brands. I guess our 20HP is considerably small compared to what some of the places we spoke with have, but all of them raved in review over IR and Kaeser.
