## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well built and functional
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2019*

This compressor is well built and works well.  It takes a few minutes per tire, so you must stand and monitor the pressure gauge - no going inside for a cup of coffee or you will explode your tire.  The snap on air hose works well enough for me but as others have noted, there can be a little bit of a tussle to remove it.  Note that in the product photograph, it looks like there is carrying handle, but it's just an illusion caused by the coiled up air hose.  The power cord was plenty long enough to reach all the tires, but it is a bit of a hassle to wrap it up small enough to fit into the case after use, so it's definitely not something you'll be doing in the dark by the side of the road.  When it is in the case it is very compact and easy to take in the car with other tools.  The LED work light is bright enough to see the tire and area around it, but not much more.  Be careful with it after use as it is very hot, just like any compressor of this size will be after running for more than a minute or two.  It runs very quiet and doesn't hop around all unbalanced like some compressors tend to do.  The nozzle attachments for filling basketballs and air mattresses are attached directly to the unit itself so they can't be lost.  All around seems like a well built and solid unit, would definitely compress air again with it.

    Solid Compressor -  don't waste your time with the others.
  

*by L***M on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2018*

Purchased this to buy some time before getting a set of VERY leaky aluminum wheels refurbished. Was leery at first, as all of the other portable air compressors I've used over the years were absolute garbage. This little compressor is leaps and bounds above the others and well worth the money spent. It is solidly constructed, quiet, and very fast/powerful. My practically empty 255/35/18's were up to 40# in the blink on an eye. The built in pressure gauge is very accurate for what it is.  (checked with my nice digital gauge.) The power cord and air hoses are long enough to do the job. The LED light is so very handy.I chose the push-on style air fitting as it seemed to be the quickest to use - but, as other reviewers have said, it can be at times a little difficult to remove resulting in air loss. No worries, I just over-fill & check with external gauge, and if more air is needed, the compressor is so fast it really isn't an inconvenience. I've used this a couple dozen times now, and was hoping that the chuck would loosen up a bit to make for easier removal, but so far it hasn't. I guess this is actually a GOOD thing, as a tight fit would be preferred there. There could also be some issue with the stems (corrosion?) hanging it up. Again, the inconvenience is only minor to me - the unit works so well in all other respects that I can deal with it.  No idea how this compares to the screw-on model, Would recommend finding a buddy with one and trying first to see which works best for you.The other tiny "con" is the case. The case itself is GREAT. Well constructed, great size for stuffing in the back of the car. Solid zippers. BUT - because of the generous air hose length, sometimes it can be a puzzle to fit the unit back in the case quickly. A little frustrating trying to cram everything back in if you're in a hurry. (I've always managed, but sometimes bad words are said.)YES - I would definitely recommend this tire pump, with the caveat that it might be a little fiddly to get the air hose detached. (minus one star for that)

    An ideal portable pump.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2019*

I have an imperfect tire rim that slowly leaks when it gets very cold (<15F), but is otherwise fine.  Since we have had a cold winter this year in Chicago, I have had to add air about once a month.This unit is great.  It's small and includes ends to inflate balls, air mattresses, etc. in addition to the permanent connection for tires.  I have had to use the flashlight that's built into the end on a couple occasions, and is bright enough to attach the pump to the tire, but would not be bright enough to use under the hood to do other maintenance, etc.The pump inflates a tire quickly - within a few minutes, I am typically able to add 5-10 PSI to an SUV tire. It operates fairly quietly as well; it is much quieter than a compressor with a storage tank.The unit comes with a cigarette lighter plug and a cord that's long enough to either extend out the window or through an open door and easily access both wheels on one side of the car.  I haven't tried to wrap around a car (e.g. plug in the pump through the driver door and walk all the way around the vehicle, but I don't know if it'd reach for my 3-row SUV; I think it probably would for a sedan.
