Review on πŸ”§ Vixen Air 12V Multi-Purpose Portable Compressor: Convenient Tire/Toy/Inflatable Inflator VXI3232P by Richard Nonya

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This is normal but not for emergencies

I bought this blower for two main reasons: 1. It is digitally controlled and will shut off when it reaches the desired psi - like 0.2. It uses a screw terminal. What I like about it 1. It's quieter than I expected.2. It inflates things faster than expected.3. The case that comes with it is decent. I don't like it1. It can be difficult to start under load. Let's say you put it in a tire that still has air in it. The good thing is that the air pushing away the compressor motor in this inflator can make it difficult to turn on and blow a fuse if plugged into a standard 15 amp car accessory outlet. 2. The 12V power cord is short. If you have a larger vehicle and it is plugged into the accessory socket at the front of the vehicle, you may find it difficult to reach the rear wheels of the vehicle with it. So it would be great if the power cord was 5 feet longer.3. It's not very accurate. I've inflated a few tires with this thing and found the inflation accuracy to be +/- 1.5psi. Not sure what I was expecting here for the price, but thought a little more precision would be nice. Conclusions I cannot give this product 5 stars as it can leave you stuck relying on it to inflate your car. Bus in an emergency as this could blow the fuse in the 12v socket.
