VERY GOOD PRODUCT
The Viair is all metal except for the handle. All compressors generate heat and the metal construction allows the heat to dissipate at a quicker rate than plastic would. The compressor is deigned to run up to 25 minutes @30 PSI. Then it needs to cool for 35 minutes. I don't know why anyone would ever need to run the compressor for 25 minutes continuously but if they did it can do it. The cordless units I looked at could run for 10 minutes before having to cool for 10 minutes. On the cordless models you have to worry about the battery being charged and the battery exceeding its storage rating temperatures hot / cold when stored in a vehicle. In addition the battery has a limited life span. Viair said the compressor life is at least 100 hours of use if the duty rating is followed. This model is designed for tires up to 33 inches. On Viair's web site you can see the instructions, specifications and dimensions of the compressor. This compressor will be still working long after I'm gone. Viair customer support is great. They respond to any questions by email within a day and you can call them direct too. The Viair P88 connects to the vehicle's battery. It's easy to use: Ensure the switch is off, connect it to the vehicle's battery, connect it to the tire, make sure the vehicle is running and turn the compressor on. When the pressure gauge matches the air pressure you are trying to inflate to turn the compressor off and check the pressure gauge again. That's all. I bought the Viair on Tire Rack because of price, delivery and customer service. Tire Rack has the best of all three
