About this product
The VIAIR 97C Silver 24 Volt Light Duty Air Compressor is a stationary, hard-wired unit suitable for motorcycles or air lockers. It offers a maximum pressure of 130 PSI and an oil-free lubrication type. This compressor has a 10% duty cycle at 100 PSI and a CFM of 1.27. Despite the title, the voltage is listed as 12V in the specs. It features a compact design, measuring 5.6 inches in length, and includes a 1-year warranty.
Our take
I'm looking at the VIAIR 97C, and it's presented as a light-duty, stationary compressor, ideal for specific tasks like air lockers or small vehicle auxiliary systems. The 130 PSI max pressure is decent for its class, and the oil-free design simplifies maintenance. However, there's a discrepancy: the title states '24 Volt' while the specs clearly say '12V' – this needs clarification before purchase. The 10% duty cycle at 100 PSI indicates it's not meant for prolonged use, but for short, intermittent operations. Its compact size and 1-year warranty are definite positives, but the voltage inconsistency is a concern.
