Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor, 12V DC 110V AC Car Tire Pump, Air Mattress Pump with Inflation and Deflation Modes, Dual Powerful Motors, Digital Pressure Gauge

Works well to inflate tires. Usually slow to start working when plugged into car (as opposed to wall) but it works fine. It’s hard to read the digital display when level on the ground so I have to tilt it upward. Lightweight and easy to store in trunk.

I got this because I had an air compressor that was built into a jumper box. The issue with that was it only worked as long as it was able to hold a charge and the air compressor won’t work even when it’s plugged in to charge. So I was looking for an air compressor that would work being plugged in and this fit the bill. Compared to my other one, this one is perfect for our needs in many ways. I like how it’s easy to hook up the hose (flip the tab down vs twisting it on). You preset the pressure you need and it stops when it reaches that pressure. It gives you accurate pressure reading when you let the hose stay attached for a few seconds (before and after putting air in.. I’ve noticed it’s lower than the actual pressure while it’s putting air in). I like how it has the extra pieces easily stored onto the device itself and we’ll be able to use it for multiple things. They have it setup well to where it holds everything it needs and it stores well. The comment about how you can’t see the pressure number unless you’re close to it is accurate. As soon as you stand up the number is not visible at all. But i noticed if you raise it up and sit it a different way, you’re able to see the number while you’re standing. The other thing I noticed was how it inflates at the higher end of your goal pressure so when it stops, it actually ends up being a point higher than your needed pressure. So I’ve ended up stopping it before it stops itself. So if you’re watching it, I recommend stopping it when it hits the number you’re trying to reach. If you wait for it to stop itself, it’ll stop but it may be a little higher than what you needed, but not by much so I’d trust not needing to stare at it the whole time the tire is inflating. But let me add.. I definitely would NOT leave it unattended. I was always close by monitoring the progress. But I’d definitely purchase this one again.

I'm giving the product 4 stars because it worked near perfectly until the air-chuck failed - it would no longer stay attached to the valve stem on the tire. I give the seller (Avid Power) 5 stars! My use of the product was infrequent, so the failure of the air-chuck was surprising, disappointing and irritating; a perfectly good compressor now disabled due to a $5 part. I thought of replacing the part (a DYI job since it's not actually a 'replaceable' part), but based on some reviews I read, I decided to message the seller instead. Good choice. Despite being out of warranty, the seller recognized the situation and replaced the entire unit for me. Bravo. A solid seller standing behind it's product. I recommend the product AND the seller. Thanks.

I purchased this recently because I needed a simple and inexpensive solution for inflating car tires at home. I've used it on two different cars and found it easy to use despite my inexperience with air compressors. The unit itself of very compact and fairly lightweight, so if size or weight is an issue for you, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Also, the compressor works fairly quickly, in my opinion, taking perhaps 2 minutes to inflate a tire from 28 PSI to 35 PSI. The instructions that come with the unit are pretty good, but I'll reiterate the process here in case it helps someone else. First, choose your electrical source by pressing the rocker switch on the right. This is how you turn the unit on. If you are plugging the unit into AC power, push the switch to the left (it shows an electrical plug). Using DC power is also an option, but I haven't tried it. I also used an extension cord as the cord that comes with it is not long enough to reach all four tires. Next, make sure the rocker switch on the left (with the images of the basketball and car tire) is in the CENTER position. This is the position you want it to be in when you measure the PSI of your tires. The display will likely default to the PSI setting, but if not, press the button to the left of the display until you are in "PSI" mode. Now, connect the air chuck (no attachments needed for car tires!) to the valve stem on your car tire. The unit will display the current PSI of your tire. Use the "+" or "-" buttons to set the correct PSI for your tire. Wait for the number to flash several times and then return to the current reading. (Note: Once you inflate the first tire, the compressor continues to remember that setting until you change it or turn off the power.) For the final step, you simply flip the left rocker switch to the right to select "tire" and the compressor will begin inflating your tires and automatically shut off when the programmed PSI is reached. You will also see the green lights flashing until it reaches the correct level. After removing the air hose from the tire, put the left rocker switch into the center position before moving on to the next tire. Then simply repeat the process above. I have not tried inflating anything other than car tires, so I can't give any feedback on the compressor's other functions. I also do not have a good tire gauge (aside from the compressor's built-in gauge) to test the accuracy of the unit. Once I purchase a standalone tire gauge and can test it, I may revise this review.

Blizzard conditions outside, 1 tire almost flat, and 3 low on air. Hook it up, and try to use it on an almost flat tire. The first thing I had to do, was to go get a flashlight because in the dark and snow-blowing wind, you cant see a single button on the unit. find the flashlight button on it, and yay! except.. nothing lights up on or around the buttons still, so still can't see the buttons.. well as an emergency unit, stranded on the highway, this would have just failed for being easy to use or easy to read.. I had to rely on other means of reading the buttons using my own light. Black engraved buttons, on black, on black, and no lights on them, in them, or around them to illuminate them. THEN - it inflated that flat tire, just fine!!! Other than the dimly lit gauge monitor kept turning itself off, again making me rely on a flashlight (I wasn't about to trust its automatic shutoff, although that DID work). Take it to the next tire, hook it up.. hit the inflate button and it turns off. it agrees with me on my pressure is low, and it's set at what it should be, but won't run.. unhook it, and it blows runs air fine.. ok, so I try the other 2 tires and the same thing on each one. The unit works fine, but flat out refuses to add air into my other tires, even though I have it set to be higher then they are, and it's reading them at about 60% of what they need to be. So not sure if it's telling me, I have enough air to get to a gas station, even though it has no idea where I'm at or what my situation is, but at the end of the day, it refused to inflate tires way below factory specifications on what they should be, for both the tires and my vehicle. The only reason its not in the trash is it'll blow up balls just fine.

Every winter our two cars tire sensors do what everyone else's car tire sensors do. They alert us to the fact that due to colder weather and the air molecules condensing inside the tire the pressure gets lower. This results in that diuspaly message that alerts you to an error. If your tire pressure is correct and your getting a error message have yout tire sensors replaced. Besides being unsafe it causes undo wear on tires. I've spent more time than I care to admit searching for a half decent non payment air station around town.. When found then its air the tires and check using a gauge or the cars display to get them right. I purchased this new fangled gizmo and boy howdy its a thing of sheer beauty. i did a speed reading of the manual ( because I'm a guy ) and went for it. Wow it was easy to use. Figured out that pressing the tire to ball switch back and forth starts it. I had set the pressure to 35 and it pumped up eight tires in about 20 minutes or so. It shut them off exactly at 35 and I even checked them with a very accurate gauge. Yep not kind of 35.....it was exactly 35. I bought this unit because I didnt want a cheapo. I dont recommend things I don't feel confident about and this ones it. Its easy to use and its fast.

I wanted an air inflator for my three cars, camping trailer and two bikes. I wanted 110 V power because I normally inflate everything in my driveway. The 12 V capability is also great for emergencies. The unit shipped from Amazon did not work properly: the high pressure airflow would not turn on. Still, I liked the design and the feature set, so I looked into getting it replaced under their two-year warranty. They sent me a new unit in less than a week, and that one worked fine. The user guide I got initially was very confusing; they have a newer one which is much better. The unit is very easy to use once you see how to use it properly. There’s a Presta to Schrader adapter for use with bikes having Presta valves. It took 32 seconds to pump my bike tire from 60 pounds to 90 pounds. That’s very acceptable performance as far as I’m concerned. Inflation of car tires is much slower, but still acceptable. In spite of the initial unit being defective, I am still going to give a five-star rating due to the outstanding customer service I received and how much I like the units.

This compressor has a number of features. It has both high pressure and high volume hoses and settings and a light. Can be powered by AC and 12 volt. The settings buttons are intuitive and the screen is readable. I've experimented with it upon receipt and it did perform both compressor functions and the light worked. HOWEVER, there are some things that aren't as good as they could be. 1. The switch used to turn the compressor on and off was rather finicky on the unit I received. I had to try it about four or five times before it finally turned on. Don't know if this issue is just on the one I received or if all the units have a similar issue. 2. The 12 volt plug is mounted in such a way that it was very difficult to get it free from the housing to use it the first time. Once I finally got it free, i secured it behind the high volume hose so it could be accessed easier next time. 3. There is a recess on the bottom of the unit that appears to be for storing the AC plug and cable. However, it is rather tight, so I just left the cable bundled with the velcro strap around the units handle. This is an inexpensive compressor with good features. However, it's not as good a quality as I would have preferred, but again it is inexpensive.
