This is an easy to use compressor that should be in your car arsenal. We had another one that could never just connect to the bus. This one does. We can inflate bicycle tyres, car tyres, etc. as well as air mattresses, since all the appropriate connections are included in the set. The kit also includes a tire repair kit for simple damage such as nails or other punctures. Great to have, hopefully it doesn't get much use. We keep it in one of the cars and another in the other car. One thing to note though is that it takes a lot of power and it makes sense to be powered directly from the battery with the included clamp. Using a lighter may blow the fuse. In our kit, the battery clip was at the top and easy to find. This compressor has a quick start guide that is very easy to understand. If you need to fix a tire you'll need to find instructions elsewhere, but with youtube videos it's very easy to understand (although I've never done it myself it's a simple concept). When I ordered this I wasn't sure, this one also had all the tire repair tools and I'm really wondering if I would do it myself or pay the mechanic $20. I would probably pay the mechanic. But it's good and I'm very happy with the compressor itself.
