I'm shopping for an air compressor for the home shop. Looking to stay in the $300 or less range if possible. Will be used for household projects occasionally, and for my audio builds for sure. I'll do some adhesive spraying, high build primer/paint spraying and some sanding with it at times. Those 3 things are probably the highest air usage requirements.
I checked Harbor Freight and they have a realllly cheap 21 gallon 2.5hp model on sale for $159 with coupon. Not sure if I trust HF compressors though.

Another option I found is the Husky 33 gallon model available at HD for $299. It's an oil-less version with pretty nice specs and good reviews.

3rd and 4th options are more pricey (more than I'd prefer to spend if I can get the jobs done with the other units).
Husky 30 gallon oil version for $439

Problem with this is I'd need to have a new outlet run to the garage which will likely be expensive. It has FAR more air output capacity than the others but is essentially immobile due to size and weight and requires electrical so makes it a much harder buy.
Any others in my price range that would be recommended? Are either of my first 2 suitable options for the limited use they'll see?
