Review on 🚐 VIAIR 450P-RV Silver Automatic Portable Compressor Kit: Efficient and Reliable RV Air Compressor - 1 Pack by Randy Montiel

I originally bought one of the inexpensive portable air pumps (100psi, 10 minute run time before overheating). I figured it could handle inflating a 275/60R20 pickup tire. I was wrong. After 10 minutes of operation this pump went from 15psi to just 34psi with a target of 40psi. Even the airlines were too hot to touch. Fail. Enter the VIAIR 450-P that arrived today. Same tire, starting at 15psi. It took the VIAIR pump just over 2 minutes to inflate the tire to 40psi. Right after that I inflated the other three tires from 35psi +/- to 40psi very quickly. The pump housing never got hot. All packaging appears to be of good quality. I was a little concerned that the spiral lines were too harsh, but they weren't. With the pump at the front of the truck (with double cab) and attached to the battery (truck running), 1 channel easily reached the rear wheels. The VIAIR pump is much quieter than my cheaper pump. Auto shut off if you don't inflate the tire is a nice feature. The air gun also has a button to release air if you push too hard. The bag has extra space for tire plugs etc. My bag also had 2 extra air filters for the pump. There are a few things to keep in mind when holding the trigger when inflating a tire. True, but the 450-P inflates the tire fast enough that it's not a problem (for me). The air sensor will deviate by about 1-2psi, but it does not meet strict engineering standards and regulations. This is a mass air pressure gauge and mine came very close. Price aside, I can't beat this VIAIR pump. but I'm willing to pay for the right tool for the job.
