Review on Powerful And Portable: SuperHandy Cordless Air Compressor With 135 PSI And Digital Pressure Gauge by Eric Trask

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Frustrating good for me

A small, light compressor that could operate cordlessly seemed like it could be a handy tool to have, especially for smaller jobs or ones that involve moving around a lot. Unfortunately this particular compressor is executed in a needlessly complicated way that just annoys me.Good things:- It's light- It's quiet- It compresses airBad things:- The controls suck. It's a simple air compressor, yet it's completely not intuitive to operate, and has way too many buttons. All it needs is an on/off switch and maybe a pressure control knob/switch. This has 4 buttons, 2 switches, and a knob. Why?- Allegedly it has an app that operates over wifi that would make it easier to use. Seriously? An app? Wifi? at a jobsite? To turn a compressor on and off? GTFO.- The battery is annoying and charges slowly. Why do I need to manually switch between batteries? People and tools banging around hit the switch and then my compressor stops working until I figure out why. I have to carefully position this so that the battery switch is protected.- When the battery inevitably dies, where can I get a new one? Why can't I plug this into the wall if I drain the battery on the job?This is good for light duty, but continuous use will drain the battery and then your air tools are down while you wait for it to charge. The lightness and quietness are cool, but everything else about this seems to have been designed by people with no understanding of what the needs of actual people who work with air tools in the real world are. For the price, hell no!

Pros
  • The durable and rugged design of this compressor ensures that it is able to withstand the toughest conditions and still perform at a high level
Cons
  • The battery is not removable for easy replacement
