Review on Enhanced AAA 12V DC Mini Air Compressor - Tire Inflator Featuring Integrated Pressure Gauge by Julian Davidson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally freed from the tyranny of the gas station

It works, it's loud and it vibrates like crazy, but it gets the job done. I was concerned that the tire pressures might be slow, but I was able to inflate my 235/45R18 from 25psi to 35psi in about 4 minutes. A 10 foot cable extended from the console to the rear wheels of my midsize car. If you have a larger car, hopefully there are outlets in the back seat or in the trunk. Surprisingly the built in gauge is accurate and matches the digital gauge and although the compressor body vibrates VERY, the needle does not. Even more surprisingly, after inflating all four tires, the device was only slightly warm, not hot as I expected. Two warnings: 1) Arc motor, so make sure there are no combustible materials in this area. The arcs are small and located inside the enclosure, but since it is open to the atmosphere, the fumes can ignite. 2) it's LOUD, wear earplugs, now I'll do it.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • So-so
