Description of Hitachi EC12 14.5 amp 2-Horsepower 4-Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor

This Hitachi air compressor is powered by a 2-horsepower, 115-volt direct-drive motor and oil lube pump at 3,450 rpm. The motor is engineered to run at 14.5 amps, so it won't overheat electrical circuits. It features vertically stacked twin tanks (each with a 2-gallon capacity), line regulator, shutoff valve at line, auto reset, capacitor start, run class F motor, and pressure switch set at 125 psi kick-off, 100 psi kick-on. It delivers 4.1 cfm of free air, at 90 psi.
Hitachi's 2-horsepower compressor is one of the hardest-working units on the market. Plug it into any standard household outlet and get 4.1 cfm of free air at 90 psi--enough to easily run two tools at once. Because of its compact size and trim weight, it's the perfect compressor for the home do-it-yourselfer, but taking into account its power and portability, contractors will love it, too. Minimum maintenance keeps this baby humming for years--all it wants is lubrication. The 2-horsepower, direct-drive motor runs at 14.5 amps, so you won't find yourself blowing fuses or popping breakers. Hitachi's known for workhorse tools, and this one is a prime example.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi EC12 14.5 amp 2-Horsepower 4-Gallon Oiled Twin Hot Dog Compressor

Customer Review: Great in warm weather
Summary: 3 Stars

This thing is great unless you are trying to start it in cold weather. It pops the breaker over and over until it warms up enough for the motor to keep running. I just use it around the house but if you were on a job site in cold weather it would be a problem.
