Best Air Compressor Review: Ingersoll Rand SS5L5 Single-Stage Air Compressor Written By Dale Voletio Ingersoll Rand has been around for over 100 years, so when you're buying one of their products, you're purchasing something that's guaranteed to be of great quality. With a global diversification of products that brings its worth close to 13 billion dollars, you can understand that when they develop a product, they are very good at it, and the SS5L5 is no exception to that rule. The SS5L5 shows off Ingersoll Rand's desire for excellence immediately. It has a very strong industrial quality design, making it a very durable piece of equipment. For the average Joe, because of it's appearance, the tool may seem a bit daunting at first. However, this air compressor is one that can be used by consumers and professionals alike. The Ingersoll Rand SS5L5 gives you much more power than a regular portable air compressor, which is more commonly used. As a single stage air compressor, it compresses the air with just one stroke, and it does it while offering 90 psi and 18.1cfm. It also features a one hundred percent continuous duty cycle and an extended pump life. Need to get some die grinding done? Need to simply check air pressure in your tires? How about clearing some dust off of your bench? It doesn't matter, if you have the SS5L5 you can do it all. The beauty of it, this air compressor can help you get the job done in the least amount of time necessary. Many air compressors have the dubious distinction of being extremely noisy. While that may not be as big of a problem in an auto repair shop, it can be annoying if you're working around the house. In air compressor reviews that I have done in the past, this has always been a sticking point. Not this time. The Ingersoll Rand SS5L5 comes built with a powerful electric motor. Thankfully its 5 horsepower engine provides good energy, but it does so in silence. The air compressor runs on 30 amps an can be connected to a regular 230 volt outlet. Another advantage of an electric motor is that it can be used in the place of a gas powered air compressor when safety is a concern. The electric motor also comes with the extra added feature of having thermal overload protection. Whether you own a shop, have a hobby, or simply just like to work on different things around the house, the IR SS5L5 is definitely a model of choice. It's versatility and ease of use allows for the most difficult tasks to be undertaken in the quickest amount of time. For this air compressor review, I give the Ingersoll Rand SS5 four out of five stars. In case you're wondering, it also comes with a one year warranty.
