I bought this inflator in October 2014. During those 6 years of use, I blew twice, a DC outlet, a car fuse. The red light on the dashboard has also failed. However, the block itself still works. In fact, 20 minutes ago I just pumped up 2 rear tires on a minivan. Works well but once it hits 30psi the unit slows down and takes longer to reach 35psi. When I bought this bag the unit price was $45 and it didn't come with the bag. I've always left my inflator in the trunk of my car, I've never had a problem with plastic or parts melting or breaking. I am currently looking for a second inflator but $60 is way too much in my opinion for two reasons. 1-Other companies offer more features at a lower price. 2-I noticed a few negative reviews with pictures, which makes me wonder if VIAIR wants to increase its profits by reducing the quality and increasing the price.
