What Customers Are Saying

The product is versatile and easy to use, with the ability to set a desired pressure and automatic shut-off. Customers find it reliable and accurate, with a clear digital display. The dual power options are appreciated. However, some report issues with durability, with units failing after a short period, often just outside the warranty. The power cord length is also a concern for some. Overall, the product seems to offer good value, but its long-term reliability is a mixed point.

lasted 18 months

Would Not Recommend

Received as a gift. Very practical as we have no free air nearby. Used often and it worked fine, however after about 18 months, it just quit pumping air. The motor runs but no air comes out. Of course it's out of warrantee. Not what you expect for a $100 (with tax) unit. More what you'd expect from a $25 unit.

Great Garage Gadget

Would Recommend

Perfect for the occasional low air in tires. Easy to use. No driving on a flat tire to the gas station and then slotting coins to air up the tires.

Broken Item /Faulty Unit

Would Not Recommend

Sadly I had high hopes for this. I ended up with a faulty unit! First time to use it I pull it out and the plug was broken! Brand new never been opened. Had it 6 months before I needed to use it, so of course it was a waste of money because its outside the return window!

The price is very reasonable and it performs well

I purchased the inflator because the "tire pressure" warning indicator often came on - even when the tires were properly inflated. I can now verify the inflation status and correct it of necessary. Its flow rate is fairly low but it does a good job.

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

We bought this to inflate the tires on our car, golf cart and bikes because it was easy to use, and it worked great for the first 20 or 25 times. But as I was trying to inflate our car tires today, the device stopped inflating the tire. The motor was still running, but no air was going into the tire. I checked the hose, the connector, and tried the inflator on another tire, and nothing happened. I checked the owner’s manual to see if there was a troubleshooting guide, but nothing applied to the ...

Short three prong cord

Cord from air pump to plug into outlet is REALLY SHORT. Very disappointed. Have to use an extension cord with it.

Works great. Very convenient.

Would Recommend

I used this product at my Brother-in-law's house while visiting. It worked great, so I bought one for myself. It is much easier than rolling out my regular large air compressor just to air up tires or small items. Plus, it's small for traveling. Right tool for the right job.
