> 24 hourWhat stands out the most to me is the fact that this pump works on both 12vdc and 115v power. Simple to use and very durable. Well made machine. Excellent for your vehicle for emergency situations.

> 24 hourThe tire inflator machine is so useful for travel emergencies, mechanic home tire repairs, and for inflating all the summer pool toys for the kids. This works as described in listing. Good quality and very useful.

> 24 hourThis compressor is so easy to set up it has multiple tips to fill anything from pool toys to bike tires and more. It has a convenient setting to deflate pool toys quickly. The readout prevents overfilling and eliminates the need for an extra tool to check the pressure. Can be operated with standard A/C or plugged into your car. Excellent value for the price.

> 24 hourThis is an excellent value for two different pumps in one portable package that only weighs a few pounds. It is easy to carry, fits in the trunk of your car, and adapts to either household voltage or 12V power from your car or truck. The package includes the pump with tire and large inflatable hoses, 120 and 12 volt cords attached, a set of inflator attachments with a spare fuse and a user manual. (see pic) The tire inflator is automatic. Set the pressure on the digital display and the pump automatically stops when that pressure is reached. The high pressure hose stores wrapped around one end of the housing. The large item inflator has a pressure side for filling and a deflate side to deflate the item after use, saving a lot of work to press the air out. The large item hose stores around the base. The dual voltage power can select, via a rocker switch, vehicle 12V power or household power that supports international voltages of 120-240 and 50-60 hz according to the specifications. Each of the two power cords is more than 9 feet long. (see pic) Another rocker switch selects the tire pump or large item inflator pump. When using the high pressure tire pump, the display shows the current pressure, before the pump starts. The pump is started by moving the rocker switch to the tire position. I tested it on my 19” tires on my SUV. It raised the pressure by 2 psi in less than 20 seconds. That’s fast for a portable pump. The light on the high pressure pump end can provide a work light on dark roads. A second press of the light button causes the lamp to strobe between white and red for added safety and visibility to traffic. There are a few things that might be improved for me. The household cord doesn’t have any hooks to wrap it onto. It fits into a niche on the bottom of the housing, but takes some effort to get it to fit and stay. (see pic) The 12V cord stores wrapped around the end of the housing, with a clip on the base for the lighter socket plug. This is very handy, but it is a challenge to get the cord to wrap correctly so that the plug can be stored in its clip. The tire inflator has to be turned off and back on to start to inflate the next tire. Its not intuitive because the display remains lit and responds to pressure up and down after it stops when reaching the set pressure. I’m getting used to that. Finally, the high pressure nozzle is very tight to place onto the valve stem and also when removing it. It secures well with the lever once inserted but removing it after releasing the lever without losing too much air was tricky. I’m liking this pump more than I expected and can be more relaxed due to being prepared by having it in the trunk of my car. I hope this review was helpful to you.

> 24 houras described &works perfectly. i wish I could say we havent had to use this, but within a week of receiving this,we got a slow leak in our back tire with a screw stuck in it . we cant patch it(its in the sidewall) so weve used this compressor 3 times to add more air to our rr tire,while we wait for our replacement to be shipped. it works well! it has a digital readout.and filled out tire within minutes to the preset pressure -it beeps and stops automatically when it gets to the preset pressure so that is awesome! the DC cord is long enough to plug insude the SUV and reach all the way to the back tire.the hubs is happy with this compressor,it works easily for him.

> 24 hourAfter testing this unit out on my SUV, I find their claim of inflating a tire from 0 PSI to 36 PSI in 5 minutes to be iffy. Maybe on a smaller vehicles tires, but its definitely not the fastest compact compressor Ive ever used. The accuracy is a bit off so I would keep a regular tire gauge handy. And Im not quite sure what the accessory compartment is meant to hold but neither the extra fuse nor the various tips fit neatly into it, making me think theyll fly loose with one good bump. Also, the DC power cable isnt as long as other compressors so, between that and the relatively slow inflation speed, I wouldnt recommend this unit for larger SUVs and trucks. That said, theres a lot to like about this compressor. The built-in cable management is a great touch, keeping both hoses and both electrical cables neatly in place. The control panel is conveniently placed, the screen is easy to read, and the little rubber feet help to soften the vibrations so the unit doesnt go skittering around on the road while trying to inflate your tires. The ability to use a vehicles DC plug or a regular AC outlet is a nice touch, and the high-volume hose has a nozzle fitting that you can use to blow crumbs and other detritus out from the crevices in your vehicle. Plus the ability to both inflate and deflate balls, mattresses, etc. is a handy feature as well. The LED is pretty bright and switches from solid white to flashing red and white to off. Curiously, I dont see this last feature listed in either the online description or the users manual. This would be a decent compressor for smaller vehicles, maybe up to a mid-sized SUV, but I dont recommend it for larger vehicles.

> 24 hourThis is a great little machine for the price. Small enough to easily find a spot in the garage (or in the trunk), and worked well to top up bike tires, and car tires. I was concerned that my husband was using it to inflate his bike tire, but he pointed out that you just set the PSI you want, and it will stop when that pressure is achieved. It took us a little bit to realize that theres a regular (wall) plug, as its tucked away in a compartment underneath. But both that, and the car cigarette lighter power source worked well. The plastic casing feels like it might not stand up well to being dropped, so....dont. :) Overall, very happy to have this little compressor around.

> 24 hourIf you are looking for a portable/emergency compressor to keep in the trunk or to have on hand at home, I would suggest this one! I was quite impressed with the overall design and output of this compressor for its size. There is a place to store the extra parts on the unit, it comes with both AC and DC cords, tire valve and hose, and all the necessary parts/hookups. One of the most valuable features of this little beast is the light option. There is an option for a solid white light or the option to change it to the flashing emergency light which is crucial, especially if using this to fill a flat tire on the side of the road late at night. This is a great emergency pump to have on hand and I think it is set at a great price point. All the features are easy to use, find and the functionality is pretty simple.

> 24 hourThis is a nice air pump. I have had several of this air pumps before. What make this stand out is that it has 2 different power sources. You can plug this into the cigarette lighter in your car or use a regular electrical outlet . You can use this to inflate tires , basket balls and footballs. Then on the other end it has a blower that you can use to inflate air mattress and pool toys. It has flashing red emergency light and a clear flashlight.. The only down size is its a litter larger then the other other pumps I have had.

> 24 hourI have needed one of these portable air compressors for a long time. Key feature is I needed one that can plug into the vehicles cigarette lighter. I tested this as soon as I received it. I didnt want to be in a situation where I needed it late at night with a low tire testing it for the first time. This air compressor is easy to use with multiple nozzle attachments. Changing them out is also straight forward. My Honda Ridgeline truck easily powered the compressor via the cigarette lighter. I was able to blow up a basketball as well as one of my tires. The compressor saved me a step as it also has a guage built right in. I didnt have to use my handheld gauge from the glovebox. I was also able to easily reach the back two tires of my truck from the lighter power source. This was important! Another really nice feature is that it has a light that works really well. Its fairly small and tucks away in my trucks sub-trunk. Im extremely pleased with this compressor. I highly recommend!
