The HY5508 is a powerful yet compact 550w direct-drive oil-free low noise air compressor from Hyundai. Can't really comment on the capacity as I've only used for dusting so far but seems a LOT more capable than my old Clarke Warrior and at about half the noise level. 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!

With an 8-litre tank capacity, this compressor provides an air displacement of 4CFM/ 120 litres per minute and a maximum pressure of 7 bar/ 100psi. 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. This maintenance-free compressor uses an oil-free diaphragm pump to produce a clean air supply and considerably reduce noise compared to conventional piston compressors. 8L Tank The SIP Airmate TN3.0/50-D compressor is a powerful machine that can generate up to 130 psi of pressure. Together with its 50L air receiver and relatively high Free Air Delivery of 9.5 CFM (air displacement of 14 CFM), it is a compressor that is capable of running the majority of air tools out there. Unlike some of its competitor products in its category and even though it has a powerful 3 hp motor, it is still able to safely operate off a normal 13A household plug. Some of that electrical efficiency comes from the twin, V-shaped pump motor design that it uses.The 24 litre Orazio air compressor is one of the budget entries into the consumer air compressor market and is primarily targeted at lower airflow applications such as airbrushing, vehicle tyre inflation or air nail gun operation. It is the mid-sized offering positioned between 9L and 45L machines from the same brand and has a number of similar characteristics to other competitor 24L budget air compressors on offer. However, the 24L Orazio machine also has a couple of standout features that differentiate it from its competitors and which can make it particularly useful for the DIYer. Oil Free - The compressor has an oil free design. This means that there's no possibility of oil contaminating the air supply. 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. In The Box: The best way to choose an air compressor is to already have in mind the air tools you plan on using it with as different air tools place different demands on the machine. Once you have identified the equipment it will be 'powering', you are then in a position to identify the parameters needed on the air compressor to have those air tools work properly. The two overriding characteristics of an air compressor to pay attention to are the maximum air pressure it can produce, and the free air delivery or air flow at the outlet that it is able to sustain. The HY5508 is also lightweight, compact and portable for easier manoeuvrability and, being rubber mounted, lowers vibration levels to lessen fatigue. This product is sold as a single unit that is mains supplied and fitted with a standard 13A UK plug.

The motor on the Orazio machine is one of the smaller motors available for a 24L air receiver operating at only 750W or 1 hp. This means that although it can attain the same maximum pressure level as other 24L machines, it takes longer to do so, and will not be able to produce the same level of consistent airflow as air compressors with larger motors. However, it is not all bad having a smaller motor as the flip side is that the 24L Orazio air compressor is one of the quietest in its category emitting an operating sound of only 65 dB. The smaller motor also means an overall lighter weight machine which is easier to carry around and manoeuvre compared to its competitors. SIP Industrial is a very reputable British company that has a history of manufacturing tools for both industrial and domestic users, and has been making air compressors of its own since the 1980's. Today the company is involved in producing a variety of different machinery and power tools for a variety of different industries including the consumer market. SIP Industrial sells some of the best air compressor machinery in the UK, so if you are a professional tradesman or just an overactive DIY-er and you have the money to spare for this quality product, then it definitely gets our vote! Low Noise - The Hyundai HY5508 Air Compressor has a low noise output at around the 60dB mark. Such a low noise causes minimal disruption to family, staff, customers, etc. 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. Powered by a 550W, 240V Direct Drive Electric Motor that provides 4 CFM of Air Displacement - The 8-litre tank is capable of 120 Litres / Minute at 100PSIThe Hyundai HY5508 240V 550W 0.75hp 8L Air Compressor is ideal for DIYers in the garden and the workshop. It is also very useful for blowing up tyres. This versatile air compressor is powered by a 550W, 240V Direct Drive Electric motor that can provide 4 CFM of air displacement. Being electric it is completely oil free so there is no chance of contamination with the added bonus of being low maintenance. The tank has a capacity of 8 Litres that is capable of providing an air displacement of 4CFM/120 Litres and a maximum pressure of 7bar/100psi and is made from highly durable steel. This means that you can take advantage of impressive results without worrying about wear and tear. WOW ... SO impressed. It fills in about the same time my old 25 ltr took it is SO quiet (for a compressor). I'd say something similar to a modern washing machine. 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 I'm a long time DIYer and have owned a 25ltr compressor for around 20 years. It started getting less reliable so I looked around for an alternative. The 'silent' range caught my eye and I nearly went for a like for like replacement - in the end I upgraded to the 50Ltr model. Open the box, screw on the wheels, the feet and the air filters and it was all set to go - took 10 minutes.
