Powered by a 550w motor directly connected to the oil-less air compressor pump and rubber mounted for low vibration, makes it ideal for the home, light workshop or garage use and is powered by standard mains 230v supply.

Designed for DIY and light applications the HY5508 silenced oil-free air compressor is ideal for air brushing, blowing away dirt and dust, nailing, inflating tyres & inflatables or operating air tools. Ultra Lightweight CompressorCookieYes sets this cookie to record the default button state of the corresponding category and the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. The compressor is equipped with a pressure gauge, which allows the user to monitor the pressure and avoid over-inflation. Its overall design is compact and lightweight, simplifying transportation and storage. The body is made of sturdy and durable materials, ensuring the longevity of the equipment. Powered by a 550W, 230V Direct Drive Electric Motor provides 4 CFM of Air Displacement - The 8-litre tank is capable of 120 Litres / Minute at 100PSI Surprisingly quiet, which will help if I forget to turn it off and it starts up in the small hours. It is pretty powerful - buzzed off the wheel nuts my previous compressor struggled with. Very well made and the dual compressor system is elegant. Competitively priced - so all good really! Power / Pressure - The compressor has a 550W / 0.75HP motor which produces a maximum pressure of 120PSI, a discharge pressure of 100PSI and a flow rate of up to 4CFM (equivalent to 120 litres per minute).

Another notable difference worth mentioning is that on more recent units of the Hyundai HY5508 (and Hyundai air compressors in general) there no longer is a pressure-release pull-ring which has historically been used to vent tank air through the pressure release safety valve. The pull-ring on Hyundai air compressors has been removed to conform to recently updated safety compliance regulation which has advised removing the ring to prevent users from using the safety valve to vent the tank. Using the pressure release safety valve to vent the tank in normal operations has caused cases of excessive wear on the safety valve whose primary function is to protect users if a malfunction in pressurising the tank occurs. As a result, on Hyundai air compressors, air can now only be vented through the drain valve located on the underside of the air tank. As for the standout positive features of the 24L Orazio air compressor compared to its competitors, these are, firstly, that it is one of the few oil-free air compressors of its size readily available to the UK consumer. Oil-free air compressors have a number of advantages over oil-dependent ones including being cheaper and requiring less maintenance. One disadvantage of oil-free air compressors is that they are usually louder than their oil-bearing equivalents. However, as alluded to earlier, this is not the case for the 24L Orazio air compressor and in fact represents its second standout feature, which is the ability to easily hold a normal conversation over the sound emanating from it. Keep in mind though that the ‘hissing’ sound at motor cutout, typical of most air compressors, is still just as noisy on the Orazio machine as it is on other machines but fortunately very brief in duration. Feature-wise, the Hyundai HY5508 has a 550W or 3/4 hp direct-drive motor instead of a piston-based one which makes it exceptionally quiet relative to equivalent air compressors of other brands. The Hyundai air compressor is also of the oil-free variety making it low maintenance and, due to its size, is also quite portable especially given its relatively low 15 kg of weight and an integrated carry handle. Draper Tools sells a wide range of air compressors of all shapes and sizes designed to cater to a range of users both professional and of the DIYer persuasion. One of the more popular air compressors of their range is the DA25/207 (model number 24980) which is a good fit for the regular non-professional consumer. The Draper air compressor has a 24L air receiver which is filled by a 2hp or 1.5kW electric motor up to the standard maximum pressure of 116 PSI. This translates into an air displacement figure of 7.3 CFM and a more important metric for free air delivery of 4 CFM (which is the number to use when determining whether air tools are compatible). This free air delivery value is relatively low compared to competitor machines of the same level and is mainly the result of the lower power motor taking slightly longer to fill the air tank. Please be advised that Hyundai Power Products now have an extended lead time and you may not receive them next day. The current delivery time is estimated at 2-5 working days.*The Hyundai HY5508 compressor is a piece of equipment used to pressurize air for various purposes. It is a portable device that requires a power source to operate. The compressor has a maximum pressure output of 120 PSI, which is suitable for a wide range of applications, from inflating car tires to powering pneumatic tools. The motor is capable of producing 1.5 horsepower, making the compressor efficient and powerful. Could do with an illustrated picture of the machine in the instructions as they refer to items that are not easily identifiable. Most air compressors are heavy machines, and the Draper DA25/207 is no exception. Like other air compressors, it is made more portable by the addition of wheels and a handle so that it can be moved around the workshop with relative ease. In addition, the Draper machine is a relative lightweight in the air compressor domain coming in at only 24kg. One notable characteristic of this Draper machine is that it is not oil-free, which means it has to be transported in an upright position to minimise any chance of oil leaking from it. Unfortunately, delivery couriers are not always that careful about box orientation, and this can lead to oil leaking from the air compressor during transit creating a cleanup headache for the new owner upon delivery. The Richmond 24L air compressor also uses oil for lubrication of its working parts, and so requires a little extra monitoring and maintenance compared to oil-free air compressors. Fortunately, to make things a tad easier, the ParkerBrand air compressor (like its SGS Engineering equivalent) has an oil inspection window integrated into the machine allowing for closer monitoring of oil levels. Pressure safety valves on Hyundai air compressors have been updated in compliance with the latest CE certification standards. The pressure release pull ring has been removed from the safety valve to prevent it from being misused to drain the air from the compressor tank, causing excessive wear to the valve. Air and moisture should always be released using the drain valve located on the bottom of the tank.
