Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have used another portable air compressor before, and it sounded like WWIII was beginning. I also had to keep a foot planted on it to keep it still. Not the same story with this compressor. Yes it makes noise. Yes it vibrates. They all do, but with this compressor it is all done at an acceptable level. A reasonable amount of power lead, which reaches all 4 wheels of a 2007 Toyota Camry. I have to get the compact spare out of the trunk to fill that but that is not a problem.
Unlike some other pumps, this does not have a plastic lever to clip the air line onto the tire valve. You press the line to the valve and screw the sleeve on. This is all made of brass. It can be a little fiddly but again, I don't consider that a problem. In fact, I found a reason to make it a positive. If you are only topping up a tire, there is no need to screw onto the valve at all. Just hold it onto the valve with steady pressure, the same as you would do at a gas station. Regarding those who feel that you lose pressure while unscrewing the sleeve from the valve, then as another reviewer stated you can slightly overfill. Personally, if you hold the airline onto the valve as you unscrew then it releases practically nothing. Then simply whip away the airline once completely unscrewed.
It all packs away in a hard wearing nylon carry bag that is supplied, and allows you to keep the nozzle accessories with the compressor should you need it for other jobs such as rafts etc.
So, for the working noise, vibration, store-ability, and the budget price I'm pleased with my purchase. It does what I need it to which is to keep the tires at the correct pressures on my car.
Final note. ALL gauges that are fitted onto the pumps have a discrepancy tolerance. Always use a separate, accurate gauge to check the pressures. Once you know if yours is over or under reading and by how much then you can allow for that on the gauge on the pump, but I'd still check that that doesn't change over time.
