you won't be ablet to blast or sand using a portable one, at least for longer than a few seconds or so. read the air requirement specs on the tools you want to use, and buy a compressor that will provide that.
Realistically, what else might I really want to use it for around the house? Sandblast my mower blades? Sand some drywall?

I just want to be able to install trim/moulding, occasional 2x4 framing, fill up car/bike tires etc.
Prefer: quiet, portable (carry up/down stairs), reasonably priced, oiled.
I don't need to paint/grind etc.
Thanks in advance.

Lots of good ones out there.
Just do yourself a favor and buy LARGER than you think you need right now. Once you get it you will find dozens more uses for it
