The first one I received was broken, there was some rattling inside. Nothing came on except the LCD screen, the compressor didn't work. They sent me a second one and it worked. Connect it to the valve stem, set the pressure, press the center button and it starts to fill. It stops the air pressure 2psi below what I set for the bike tire. Tried other tires, same thing. Not exactly. I was trying to inflate my motorcycle tire and it would run all the way after 20psi of air and intermittently shut off after 28psi. Couldn't inflate my motorcycle tire to 32psi and wouldn't exceed that. Even when I set it at 45psi the machine cuts well below that and struggles in the 20psi range. I won't even try it with a car tire. I'm sending both back for a refund. Doesn't work as desired.
