I'm happy with my Coleman Powermate 26 gallon upright - twin cylinder (aluminum) 110 volt oil lubed. I also like my Kobalt 30 gallon upright - twin cylinder (cast iron) 110 volt oil lubed.
I have used them both for sand blasting - they work fine for small jobs and short durations (5 minutes or so) then you need to let them catch up and cool down a bit. They work great for impacts, air ratchets, airing up tires, etc. I've used an air sander with the Coleman, same deal as sand blasting about 10 minutes then you need to let it catch up a bit.
As far as CFM for sand blasting, I've hooked up a 60 gallon 220 volt compressor, my Coleman, and the Honda gas engine powered all together and they never shut down while I was blasting. I don't know the CFM rating of them, but three compressors hooked together couldn't keep up. Serious blasting requires an industrial two-stage compressor with at least a 100 gallon tank.
And I HATE those oil-less noisemakers! The last one I had didn't even last a full year, and all I did was air up car tires.
