I had a Slime compressor for 10-15 years that eventually failed - not the unit itself but the car adapter broke in the cigarette lighter socket and the adhesive didn't hold it up. So instead of searching through many unknown brands for a similar product, I searched Slime again. I couldn't believe how cheap it is and it works like a charm. We use it regularly to inflate bike tires, but I also use it for car tires when needed because I don't like going to the gas station just for that. For me the gauge is optional - my old Slime didn't have one - but compared to the tire gauge it was accurate for me. I have this device in my car and I hope to be able to rely on it for years to come just like the Slime I had before!
