Convenient and Fast

It Is hard to believe that something so inexpensive could work so well. It takes less than 25 seconds to inflate a 215/60/16 tire from 30-35 psi, and the digital pressure reading Is accurate. There is plenty of 12v. cord to attach the inflator to your cigarrette lighter or other 12v. power source to reach your tires, and the built-in light Is a great help at night. I have owned other battery-powered portable tire inflators, and this one is by far the best.

Nice.

I have similar inflators that I keep in our cars, great to have in an emergency, but I bought this for my daughter's new Jeep because of the preset feature. I figure with that she wouldn't have to mess with a separate pres. gauge. Note: I laugh at the reviewer who was disappointed, couldn't they tell from the box that this only runs off 12 volts? There are adapters out there that will allow this to be used with house current.

Disappointing

Bought this on sale for my bicycle. However it Only connects with my car's cigarette lighter outlet and no option for plugging into house current which is annoying for several reasons which I won't get into here. Not sure about adapter kits existence.

Good, BUT....

I have gotten a few good uses from this inflator. Now when I try to use it it blows the lighter fuse in my Yukon. Plug it in, turn on the power and I'll have power for a couple of seconds and then nothing. The 10amp fuse in the inflator is good. Truck lighter fuse is blown. I'm not sure if it's a issue with the inflator or the truck but I have never had an issue like this with other inflators I have owned. Truck lighter fuse is 15amps. I've changed 3 fuse's without getting any air in a tire.

best air compressor

I don't wanna hear anyone complain about this machine, if you have a complaint then your doing something wrong. I really love this thing, it worked perfect and fast. If you're having a hard time with the machine, just use a new fuze as you already got a extra one, it will pump your tire perfectly and get you back on the road with no issues. I would buy two more if I could, life saver

Decent for the money

This is an overly simple gadget to setup and use. It inflates fast and is easy to operate and is light weight. and the cord attaches to a cigarette light type outlet because It does not have a built in battery to run itself. The cord is long enough to go around my small SUV. Comes with accessories to inflate sports balls and rafts or air beds and more. The things to look out for is the gauge is off on the one I have by 3 psi. So make sure you have a good gauge to compare correct pressure. The other thing is the first time screwing the nozzle onto the tire was hard but by the third time it became easy.

Easy To Use

I bought this last year and love it. It is very easy to use and doesn't take up much space so it fits easily in your car. It runs off of the car's battery so can be used away from an electrical outlet.

Best impulse purchase ever!

My husband and I purchased this on impulse one day at Sam's thinking we'd give it a try and return it if it wasn't up to snuff. We've had several instances already where this thing has been a major life saver. It's small Enough you can throw it in your trunk and forget about it until the need for it arises. We've inflated garden cart tires and full size tires on a Civic and a V6 Camaro. It worked like a charm every time. I'd recommend this over a heavy air compressor any day.

Not working properly

Out of the box tire inflator 12v not working properly, start button wont shut off unit unless unplugged. Unit is shaking and barely releases air. Want to return for refund.
