 "need to read the directions, but very good" 2010-02-25
By William T. Hansen (Joplin, Mo.)
I wanted the air inflator to take with me as I travel. the fact that this has a built in battery was the attraction. the battery has a fairly short life but I could pump up 2 tired from 27 to 36 pounds in about 5 minutes. Had I shopped farther I would have looked for a compressor that had the ability to jump start the car also. This manufacturer has one like that. I saw one at Wal-Mart for about $75. Getting to understand how to program this machine was a bit confusing and the fact you had to restart and push in the air pressure each time took understanding and practice. I found this out when I tried to teach my 47 yr old daughter about this when she borrowed it. This will be handy on any trip and will save me from spending .75 cents each time I want to air up the tires. W.T. Hansen, Joplin, Mo.

It does all it's supposed to do without any problems. Perfect for those having sports cars with high performance tires and requiring all tires being perfectly inflated to specification. Also great for inflating air beds and water sports toys!

 "Good - if you don't mind it staying attached to valve stems" 2010-02-18
By Tom Johnson (Always here, sometimes there)
For whatever reason, I have amassed several portable air pumps over the years, apparently attempting to get the "best" one. I've decided there simply isn't one. This one is close, but suffers the same problem my other battery-operated pump had: it HAS to be charged for it to work, and for it to be charged, it must be plugged into a wall socket for a number of hours. Adding to this is that the unit comes with a cigarette-adapter plug, which aids in powering the unit while running the unit (the other battery-operated unit need this too.) To fill all four car tires, it's pretty much a necessity to make use of the adapter.



Operation is confused a bit as one must first determine the end pressure, with the unit not connected to whatever you are filling. First you must flip the switch on the right portion of the "U" shape of the unit, push to the right for low pressure items like tires or to the left for high pressure items like soccer balls, etc. Middle is off. Under the digital display in the middle are three buttons, the center one to turn the compressor on, the right one to advance the pressure and the left one to decrease the pressure. I found that once the pressure had been started with either button, holding it down would allow for rapid advancement, making high numbers much faster and easier to reach than pressing the button many times. Once reached, simply let it set a moment, then attach the hose. Only *then* do you hit the power button and it will fill by itself. It seems complicated, but once you've done it a couple times, it's not so bad. (Pro-tip: in dark situations, press one of the pressure buttons and an LED at the front will light up the area a few feet in front of the unit. Handy!)



The unit's biggest downside has been disconnecting the nozzle from tires. I don't know if it's my tires in particular, but the nozzle holds onto the valve stems with a death-grip. It should be simple, just flip the lock up and pull back, but what really happens is you pull the lock up and psssssssshhhhh - you've just lost 2-3 pounds of air while fighting with the nozzle. I physically have to brace myself, preparing to flip the lock and pull with all my might to get it off the stem as quickly as possible. Most of the time I find I have to refill my tires a couple of times before I get it off the stem properly. Frustrating, to the say the least.



The digital readout is excellent. The preset pressure is a great way to ensure you get exactly what you want in whatever you're filling. The battery issue is annoying, but livable - many other units are just like this. The valve stem problem is just that, however, and it might be a deal breaker if I can't get it worked out. It's really too bad because I like the pump in general.

 "Funny but almost useless" 2010-02-15
By K. Orkoshneli
Never buy items with functionality! Actually in this case no one function works as in custom dedicated hardware. In this item, the low pressure pump doesn't make sense due to too low pressure and takes redundant weight and space (price too!). High pressure pump is too slow and noisy! and the buttery drains too quickly!!! You can inflate all 4 (even 3) tires and get the fully charged buttery fully discharged!!! AND KEEP IN MIND THE UNIT CAN"T BE CHARGED FROM THE CAR VIA CIGARETTE LIGHTER!!! ONLY VIA AC ADAPTER!!! That isn't written even in user guide clearly!

 "complicated air pump" 2010-02-14
By Gregory D. Womeldurf (Friendswood, TX)
The written instructions for this product are not clear enough. The pump is complicated looking and should have a 110 volt electrical plug to operate the pump, not just to recharge the battery. The low pressure air hose was difficult to install properly.
