I bought it this december 2017 because my car's battery is failing. I used it almost right away. I also bought the protecton plan as it comes with 1 year warranty but I bought the 3 year so I will be cover until 2020 as this items usually fail during the second year. I know I will not use it all the time so, just in case. I even got the square trade protection plan on email. I recomment you to go there and fill out all the information just in case you have to claim it later as you will not know what you did with your papers or the email.

Do not buy this without buying the extended warranty through SAMSCLUB! First one died in 13 months. It starting saying full-charge, then when I tried to use the airpump it died and said the battery was discharged. Plugged it in, said it was charged full in 5 minutes. Then tried it again, DEAD again. I took it apart, removed the big battery and the battery was 13V across the terminals with a voltmeter. After putting a decent load on the battery, it still showed 12.9v indicating the battery was strong and not defective. The charge circuit, or something failed in this unit. I was unable to return it as it passed the 1 year mark. I bought a new one as I was on the road and had no choice and I need air. At Samsclub, I purchased the 9 dollar extended warranty and got another one. I will reccomend this jump/airbox but only if you can buy the extended warranty at the time of the sale at samsclub.

First of all, I'm not one of those people who only leave bad reviews. We were excited to have something to inflate our pool floats while we were on the boat. We were never able to get the compressor to inflate anything. Was able to get the charger to start our mower a couple of times. I bought one for a friend and he was never able to use his at all. Don't waste your money.

I received this as a present December 2021. I have used it a couple times here and there, not daily excessive abuse by no means. Went to air up a tire the other day, compressor wouldn’t work and then it caught on fire. Contacted Stanley who passed me off to a subsidiary that said they would repair it but I would have to pay shipping. I threw it in the trash! Never again.

I bought this Fatmax 1000 a year and used it maybe twice before it died (right after the 90 day period was out). I liked the way it worked so I got another, thinking I had just gotten a bad one. I probably aired up 12 tires (a couple of lbs ea) and jumped two vehicles. Now at about 4 months old it too has died. It was not worked hard. I would not trust it for much.

I purchased this Stanley Fatmax 1000 TWICE. The first time it stopped working after a short time. I thought it was a fluke and six months later bought another one. We bought it in April and used it twice. When we needed it again in June it would not work. It was charged but there was no power. DO NOT BUY THIS.

I purchased this in February 2018, when Sams decided to close all there locations in Rochester NY. Charged it up and noticed the back light doesn’t shut off, so runs the battery down quickly. Then cam out to a flat tire and thought no problems, I hooked up the Fatmax for its first use and the compressor doesn’t work. Could not even get it to switch over to the compressor mode. So here I was crawling under my vehicle to change a tire. Can’t wait to see what else doesn’t work when I need it. Buy the way I can’t even take it back because I now have no Sams clubs within 70 miles!

I was so happy w this product, until it came time to recharge (as advised in manual). Would not recharge at all. The first month of use was great, after that, nothing. I fully charged the unit before using initially. Followed all protocol. I'm so upset because I really was loving it. It was so handy. Had to return to store. My grandma said the same thing happened to hers.

It's GREAT,love it.great buy now with 30 bucks off you cant go wrong. I read most of the reviews here and i dont understand all the bad ones. #1 thing when you get home take it out of the box.,grab and extension chord and plug it up. It clearly syates to fully charge before use , it says to charge 40 hours or until it shows 4 full bars on the unit stating its fully charged. it comes partially charged . my was at 12 it goes to 14 it took mine only about 3 hours to reach fully charged , when it did i hooked it up to a battery on my f150 v8 5.0 engine that only had 9 volts in the battery and it cranked it right up. .GREAT ITEM at GREAT PRICE. everyone needs one.

Bought this specifically for our Snow Plow business, purchased 2 years ago and can count on one hand the amount of times its been used. Was working fine up until that point but cant believe these business cant make things last any more. Making matters worse Sam's Club said they couldn't do anything about it, YAAAAY!
