Good Compressor October 31, 2008 Good Item but it warns you not to leave it on for more than a minute because it will overheat. I haven't had a problem because my tires typically fill up in less than a minute, but if you need to top off all 4 tires its a pain.
Better be handy with a soldering iron! September 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As other reviewers have noted, the cigarette lighter plug supplied with this unit is, to put it charitably, fragile. It shattered the first time I attempted to pull it out of the socket. Fortunately, I had other compatible plugs handy that weren't needed for other devices, so I soldered the 12V leads from the compressor into a new plug. Now it works fine.
OK, it's noisy and slow, but for a cheap unit, it seems to pump effectively. With it, I can refill the spare tire on my Prius, which requires 50 psi. All small pumps take a while to fill a tire, but using this unit is a lot easier than delivering 100 strokes with a hand pump.
Defective product September 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product was defective. It did not work, right out of the box. I plugged it in and it did not turn on. I tried several times. It did come on for a split second on one of the subsequent attempts, but would not start again. Not sure what the problem was, so it was returned and the purchase price was refunded.
Bad product, burned my fuse August 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product says "10A" for current, and the fuse for my lighter is indeed 10A, but it burned my fuse!!! So I had to run to Autozone to get new fuse for my lighter.
I don't know if it would be better switching to a 15A fuse for the lighter, but I don't want to try. I'll just throw away this pump...
Compact giant June 22, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Do not be mislead by the size of this small versatile portable compressor. Along with a tire plug kit this is a must have for anyone that has the abilty to use this item.
