About this product
The Kobalt 8-Gallon Steel Horizontal Air Compressor is a portable, corded electric unit designed for a range of applications. It features a robust 1.8 hp motor, an oil-free pump, and an 8-gallon steel tank, delivering a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI and a flow rate of 4.0 CFM at 90 PSI. Operating on 120V, this compressor is a versatile option for workshops and job sites requiring a balance of capacity and portability.
Our take
This Kobalt 8-gallon compressor strikes a good balance for many DIY and professional users. The 8-gallon steel tank gives it enough capacity to handle air tools like impact wrenches or spray guns without constant cycling, and the 150 PSI max pressure is a strong point. I particularly like the oil-free pump, which cuts down on maintenance significantly compared to oil-lubricated models. With 4.0 CFM at 90 PSI and a 1.8 hp motor, it offers decent performance for its size. It's portable, but remember it's still an 8-gallon steel tank, so it has some heft. This is a very capable unit for the price.
