Received unit and plugged in to my vehicle to make sure it operates. I works, and it will give me peace of mind the next time I go on a road trip. It is also small and light enough to carry in the saddle bags or tour pack on my Harley. So far I am satisfied.
This is a good, solid portable compressor. I bought it for winter use on my Bolt EV, which has no spare tire. It’s light and small enough to carry in the back all the time and use for tasks besides emergencies.
The only issue I have is the usual one with little compressors – the pressure gauge is unusable while the unit is running. It would be great if someone could figure this one out.
I purchased this pump for my wife's car. Two main requirements were that it had to use a 12v, cigarette lighter type power source, and it had to pump a tire relatively quickly/ efficiently. So far, this pump seems to fill both requirements (I have "bench tested" it, but have not needed it to get me out of a tough situation yet). That said, I am impressed with the quality, and would recommend this unit to anyone who needs a pump, but doesn't want an underhood connection.
This is the second one I have owned. I also purchased a higher (more expensive different brand) and this one works just as good (other one does have a nice long air hose). Tires always need a little air and nice to have this around. Would definitely recommend keeping one in your vehicle (along with a jump pack and fist aid kit)
I needed to be able to adjust tire pressures when autocrossing and also needed to carry something for my occasional motorhome needs: 19.5" tires @90#. This compressor has been great for both situations: I only needed a few extra pounds in one RV tire one time, and use at the autocross was adding about 5# to each tire, and was quick and not too noisy. There are a lot of products that will not do the high pressure fill and this is a cost-effective solution.
The only shortfall was with the RV and I solved that with a cigarette lighter extension cord.
