The Einhell TE-AC 270/50 Silent Plus is the fourth pick in this guide. It is a 1,500 W, 8 bar compressor with a 50-litre tank, a noise figure of 54 dB (LpA), and 42.8 kg of machine sitting on wheels with a transport bar. It carries 159 ratings averaging 4.2 out of 5 and is priced at £359.95.

This guide is built around airflow, because that is the figure buyers actually judge a compressor on and the one listings inflate hardest. The Einhell's listing takes a different route: it never gives an airflow figure at all. There is no L/min, no CFM and no "at 6 bar" number in the title, in the five bullets, or in the spec table. What you get instead is 50 litres of tank, 8 bar of pressure and 1,500 W of motor — three numbers that describe the machine without saying how much air it moves. Where the listing is at least consistent is the tank: "Capacity: 50 litres" and "Tank Volume: 50 Litres" agree with the bullet's "50 L tank". Two smaller oddities sit in the spec table: "Recommended Uses For Product: Air Brushing" and "Hose Length: 5 Metres", even though the bullets never mention a hose and "Included Components" says only "air compressor".

Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this compressor, not from any test of our own.

## Questions people ask

**Does the Einhell TE-AC 270/50 Silent Plus state its airflow?**

No. The listing gives a 1,500 W motor, a maximum pressure of 8 bar and a 50-litre tank, but no L/min or CFM figure appears in the title, the bullets or the spec table.

**How loud is the Einhell TE-AC 270/50 Silent Plus?**

The bullet quotes a low noise level of 54 dB (LpA) and the spec table lists "Sound Level: 54 Decibels". LpA is a sound-pressure reading, which is not the same measurement as the plain dB figures some other compressor listings quote.

**How big is the tank?**

50 litres, stated twice in the spec table — once as "Capacity" and once as "Tank Volume" — and matched by the bullet's "50 L tank". This is one listing where the tank figure does not contradict itself.

**What is the maximum pressure?**

8 bar, given in both the title and the bullet: "The pressure reducer helps regulating the maximum pressure of 8 bar."

**Is the motor oil-free?**

Yes. The bullet states the compressor is powered by an oil-free motor for low maintenance requirements, and that Einhell provides a 10-year rust-through warranty for the tank.

**What does the listing say the compressor is for?**

The spec table lists "Recommended Uses For Product: Air Brushing", which sits awkwardly with a 42.8 kg machine on wheels and a transport bar. The same table lists a hose length of 5 metres, although the bullets never mention a hose and "Included Components" says only "air compressor".
