Good to know

Einhell lists an intake of 240 l/min but an output of 166 l/min at 0 bar, 120 l/min at 4 bar and 92 l/min at 7 bar, which shows why intake figures overstate usable air. It has a two-cylinder pump, 70 dB(A) sound pressure, wheels, a drain tap and a 10-year warranty against rusting of the tank. It weighs 26.15 kg.

Safety: Read the maker’s manual before first use and follow its safety instructions, including the protective equipment it tells you to wear. Keep children and pets away while the machine is running.
