SunnyDi: I bought one of these for my son who drives a lot. He loved it so much I bought one for myself...and I have a nice big air compressor.

Lenore Vinson: I had one like this for years in back of the car. It broke recently. It's great for car tires, bike tires, volleyballs and basketballs, floaties etc.
This one has more attachments and a nice case!
Used it last night for first time. Works quickly.

Kindle Customer: I bought this years ago from Amazon, and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It saved me again yesterday when I was able to air my tire up and drive to the tire store and get it repaired. It’s very easy to use and I’m not mechanically inclined. One of the best features is that you set it to the correct Psi and it automatically turns off when it reaches it.

Alado: Enfin un appareil qui gonfle vraiment à 5.5 bars, pression requise pour les pneus de camping cars.
Et le réglage de la valeur à atteindre est très commode, on règle, on met en route, on peut faire autre chose pendant que ça gonfle.
Travaille relativement rapidement, surtout compte tenu de la taille.

S. K. T: Es más compacto de lo que me esperaba, y cumple con su cometido a la perfección. Es muy práctico y extremadamente fácil de usar: enroscas la válvula, seleccionas la presión deseada, le das al "ON" y él se pone a inflar, y se apaga solo cuando termina. Cuando lo conectas al neumático siguiente, recuerda el último valor de presión usado y a menos que lo cambies, si le das al encendido, ese es el que usa.

Para lo que vale y el tamaño que tiene, la velocidad de inflado me parece más que correcta. Para uso intensivo no lo veo, pero para lo que lo necesito yo (inflar las 4 ruedas del todoterreno, de vez en cuando, después de bajar presión para hacer un trayecto rocoso), cumple de sobras.

Ruido, lo hace, pero no veo que sea excesivo (es un compresor, al fin y al cabo), y más siendo tan pequeño (y barato...).

Se agradece que la conexión con el pitorro del neumático sea de rosca: se escapa un pelín de aire al desenroscarlo (hay que ser un poco rápido), pero es mucho más cómodo poderlo enroscar y olvidarse que tener que estar aguantando la válvula, como era el caso de otro compresor que tuve.

En cuanto a precisión, en mi...

Cherie: Es war ein Geschenk für meinen Mann. Er war sehr überrascht und hat sich sehr darüber gefreut. Er nimmt ihn jetzt immer in seinem Fahrzeug mit. Er meint es funktioniert wirklich. Alles gut geklappt.

Ken C.: Used it a few times and it works quite well. Cable is long enough and motor isn't too loud. Cable management needs a little work as it's a struggle to push the power plug and cables back into the unit. The lcd lights up so it's easy to see at night. Two minor issues. 1. the reading seems to be off by 0.5 to 1 psi (under). So I always set just a little higher and pump more. 2. The attaching of the nozzle is a screw type, so expect some air loss as you try to unscrew the nozzle from your tire. Overall, a good buy and useful, especially in an emergency.

Harvey Cuello-Rojo: I purchased this to use for small jobs and as an emergency inflator to carry in my vehicle. After I received the pump (delivered on time and well packaged), I used it to inflate the tires on my road bike, which the pump accomplished quickly (inflated from approximately 25 psi to 105 psi). The instructions were clear and concise. The hose attached to the tire stem with no trouble; it is a screw on type, not a quick release, but was not difficult to attach and remove. The digital gauge was easy to read, and seemed reasonably accurate (as compared to the pressure shown on my manual pen-type gauge). The digital gauge can be preset to shut off the compressor when the desired pressure is reached, and worked as advertised. The pump was noisy, as mentioned in some other reviews, but did not seem inordinately so as compared to other air compressors I have used. I then used the inflator to fill the tires on my small SUV; each tire had about 26 psi, and I filled each to 32 psi. I was able to reach each tire (front and back) with no problems (plenty of length on the power cord and hose). The compressor filled each tire in less than 4 minutes per tire, and shut off after each...

PLG: Overall quite happy with this little unit. So why not five stars? Two (small) reasons: lack of adequate internal space to store the charging cord and a flimsy case.

Once the 12V cigarette-lighter-type charging cord is pulled out of its little cubby, good luck getting it all back in. I don't like jamming cords or bending them to the extreme, it's bad for them -- and when it's cold outside, they're stiff to begin with. I'm able to get only about half of it back in, which leads me to the second (small) issue: the case. It's a bit flimsy and feels like the zippers are going to separate in any second, but even with the charging cord only half-way stuffed into the back cubby, the unit fits in the nylon case -- barely. I don't think the case is going to last, so I'm keeping the whole thing stuffed back into the stiff mfgr's cardboard box in which it shipped.

A few other comments:

The screw-on apparatus that connects to the tire stem needs to be fully set -- ensure it gets screwed on all the way. Doing this when your hands are cold can be a challenge, but pumping takes twice as long with a unit like this if you've got even a slightly...
