KEY DECISIONS

To choose the right air compressor, you need to answer the following questions:

  • What do I want to do with the compressor?
  • Where will I use the compressor?
  • How often will I use the compressor?
  • How long will I use the compressor at any one time?

FEATURES THAT MATTER MOST

  • Tank size and shape

    Tank options for air compressor seem limitless. Choosing which design best suits you requires determining how much and where you plan to use your air compressor.

  • Pump Cooling

    If you only intend to use your air compressor for short periods, get one with an oil-free pump.

  • Mind your motors

    You can generally overlook horsepower ratings for air compressor motors, except to understand that machines with the highest CFM outputs have the most powerful motors.

  • Inflator / Electric air pump

    It's overkill to use an air compressor suitable for running air tools to inflate tires, air mattresses, pool toys and balls. At the same time, it's tiring, and occasionally impossible, to use a manual pump for those tasks.
