Like all air compressors, it is compact, easy to use and very easy to store. It has multiple functions and comes with a variety of heads (needles and nozzles) to inflate anything from a basketball to an air bed to a hoop. It comes with battery clips, which is a great alternative if you're looking for power off the beaten path. The digital pressure gauge makes it easy to see if you've reached your target pressure. It's surprisingly quiet compared to other compressors I've used in the past - not what I was looking for but damn I was glad it was. It also has a built-in flashlight, so using it at night is very easy - it's a one-stop solution that can help you in the dark.
