 It works well. July 23, 2008
This product does what it says it does. I use it to inflate bicycle tires, pool toys, vehicle tires, etc... It is a good product. You won't be disappointed.
 Patience Required July 20, 2008
With gas stations charging for air I opted to by this device to maintain tire pressure and fuel economy. If you buy this gadget be patient with it. Trying to pump an auto tire from 31 to 35 psi takes about five minutes. This would not be bad except that you are not supposed to run the device for more than 15 minutes at a time or you can damage it. I am lucky to have an indoor garage to work in. I can imagine what it might be like to try to use this outdoors in the winter. It does what it claims to do, but is very slow to do it.
Not that great July 9, 2008
I tried using this product to fill up an inflatable pool and after 15 minutes, decided to blow up the pool myself instead. I don't know what the product claims are, but I suspect it may be better used for topping off tires or other objects that require high PSI, but not a lot of volume. It comes with adapters that suggest you could use it on inflatables, but simply takes too long.
simply good enough July 6, 2008
i have read all the reviews of this type of product and i'm sure glad i didn't go over budget with this one. this thing is noisy for sure but not deafening if you are outdoor. it is slow compared to the station pump but it did a large SUV tire in ten minutes.....not bad i say. the pressure guage is accurate enough when i compared it to the pocket devices. but it is so light, small, easy to use and affordable that you have to accept a few short comings. overall it does the intended job simply good enough for me and i would expect most people to be satisfied also. my one concern with it is that there is no safety blow off system so my wife must pay attention for the ten minutes watching that pressure guage. then again, it is made for adults.
Disappointing performance January 23, 2008
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
I used this for a couple of different things.
1. To top up the air in a car tire. It took a long time (over 2 mins) to go from 25psi to 34psi.
2. To fill a medium size inflatable toy. This took over 10 minutes.
The things that I liked about this compressor:
1. Compact size
2. Price
Cons:
1. Extremely noisy and it vibrates a lot, causing it to move on the road due to the vibration.
2. Very slow performance (see results above)
3. Tube is really short - about 18 inches. My car has 18" wheels and with the tire nozel at the position highest off the road, the tube barely reached.
4. Only works on 12v. Would be nice if it worked on AC power as well.
5. The pressure guage is not too accurate, but merely an approximation.
I guess you get what you pay for, but due to the number of cons, this one is going back. I am surprised that AAA would lend their name to such a sub-standard product.
