About this product
The Speedaire 4ME96 is a stationary electric air compressor featuring a 1-stage, splash-lubricated pump with a 3 hp output. It includes a large 60-gallon vertical air tank, delivering 9.1 cfm free air flow at a maximum operating pressure of 135 psi. This unit operates on 240V AC, single phase, 60 Hz, making it suitable for a dedicated workshop. Weighing 257 pounds, its vertical design helps minimize footprint.
Our take
For a dedicated workshop, the Speedaire 4ME96 offers significant air capacity and consistent performance. The 3 hp motor and 60-gallon vertical tank provide a substantial reserve, and the 9.1 cfm at 135 psi is excellent for powering multiple tools or longer run times. The 240V AC input means it's not a plug-and-play solution for every garage, requiring a dedicated circuit, but it ensures stable power delivery. It's a 1-stage, splash-lubricated pump, which is robust but will need regular oil checks. At 257 pounds, it's clearly a stationary unit, but the vertical tank design helps minimize its footprint. A solid choice for permanent installations.
