About this product
The Speedaire 787U78 is an oil-free air compressor featuring a twin stack tank style with a 4.5-gallon capacity. Powered by a 1.3 hp motor, it delivers a free air flow rate of 3 cfm and a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi. This unit runs on 120 VAC, drawing 8.5 A, and operates at a relatively quiet 65 dBA. Weighing 62 lb, it's designed for portability and utilizes a rocking piston pump with four stages for efficient air delivery.
Our take
For those seeking a quieter, more manageable air compressor, the Speedaire 787U78 hits a sweet spot. Its oil-free design means less maintenance, which is always a bonus. The 65 dBA sound level is a significant advantage for use in a garage or workshop without excessive noise. With a 4.5-gallon twin stack tank and 1.3 hp, it's well-suited for a range of smaller projects, like nailing or inflating. The 62 lb weight makes it reasonably portable. While the 3 cfm free air flow isn't for heavy-duty, continuous use, it's a solid performer for its size and features, especially at $480.99.
