Help - Recommendation for air compressor

I need a recommendation for a home air compressor for filling my bicycle and car tires.... not much more than that.

- Size? I don't want the motor running if I have to fill two 75 Lb bicycle tires
- Hoses? Do I want a small unit that I can move around or a bigger one with long hoses? I friend had a small unit I didn't like as the hoses were hard plastic and not very flexible.
- Accessories? Basic stuff I will need or want? Fill presta and schrader nipples.
- Other uses for these compressors?

I have a battery powered unit now and find it a bit of a pain... it is noisy (I really don't like this noise) and way too slow.

Thanx

How big a compressor is based upon what you are going to use it for.  For your purposes, one of the 110V "pancake" compressors should do fine:
