A Electric Cobra for your time. Runs on a Nissan Leaf drivetrain, runs at my local track. Torque level: code brown

I’m in the market for an electric air compressor. Budget is $100-$300 range, so lots of options.

I’m looking for one that I can carry inside my house after using, because I have a car port that things often...wander away from.

Any ideas Oppo?

What do you plan on using it for? Tires? Air tools?

Regardless, go to Harbor Freight. Get the biggest one you can either afford or carry. Don’t forget to print off their 20% off coupon from the website before hand.

All of the ones in that price range are going to be made-in-China anyways.

I’ve got a small Porter Cable pancake shaped compressor. I’ve had no complaints about it other than I wish I would have gone bigger. I think it makes out at 3.5 cfm at 90 PSI, which is a bit small to run larger air tools. Good enough for tires though.

Thanks! I’m just using it for car tires and detailing. I am not sure that harbor freight is that popular in Canada, but I’ll check it out
