About this product
The Central Pneumatic vertical air compressor features a 2.5 horsepower motor and a substantial 21-gallon cast iron tank, delivering a maximum working pressure of 120 PSI. This oil-lubricated piston compressor operates on a 120V corded electric power source. Its portable design makes it suitable for various workshop tasks while offering a solid air supply.
Our take
For its price point, this Central Pneumatic compressor offers a robust set of features. The 2.5 HP motor paired with a 21-gallon tank provides good power and capacity for a range of workshop tasks, and the 120 PSI maximum pressure is standard for many air tools. Being oil-lubricated, it typically offers better durability and quieter operation than oil-free models, but does require regular maintenance. Its vertical orientation saves floor space, which is a plus, and it's portable despite its substantial tank.
