About this product
The Speedaire 787U79 is a portable electric air compressor featuring a 1.5 HP oil-free rocking piston pump. It delivers 4 CFM at a maximum operating pressure of 150 PSI, with a 10-gallon vertical air tank. Notable for its quiet induction motor, it produces a sound level of 70 dBA, making it suitable for environments where noise reduction is important. Weighing 85 lbs, it offers a balance of portability and capacity for various tasks.
Our take
I appreciate the design of the Speedaire 787U79, especially its focus on reduced noise with a 70 dBA sound level, which is a significant advantage for indoor use or residential areas. The 1.5 HP motor combined with a 10-gallon tank and 4 CFM provides a decent amount of air for many common DIY and workshop tasks. The oil-free pump is another plus, simplifying maintenance and ensuring cleaner air. While it's listed as portable, its 85 lb weight means it's substantial, so 'portable' here implies movability around a workspace rather than easy transport in a vehicle. A solid option for those needing a quieter, mid-sized compressor.
