The cables are also too short in the new version

The cables are also too short in the new version of this product. The hose is 8 feet long and the wires are 10 feet long. It works well for three tires but not four, even on my midsize sedan. To get from the battery in one corner of the engine bay to the tire in the opposite corner, you either have to drop the supercharger under the car or run power wires over the top of your potentially hot engine. Neither is a good solution. An additional 6-8 feet on either end would be ideal. If you have a…

Pros
  • The best in its niche

  • Requires a socket

Nearly 5 stars in the Accessories & Parts category

We hope this model (87P) will serve you well for many years to come. My previous brand (much cheaper) broke after a couple of years and about half a dozen uses and still looks brand new. I chose this model over the 88P because I don't need higher compression and it was over $20 cheaper than the 88P. It worked great today. There would be 5 stars if the tote bag was a bit longer so the hose didn't have to be twisted as tightly to fit the bag. Other improvements would be a 60psi gauge instead of a

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Useless features

Good pump. - Air Compressors and Gas Generators

I tried this yesterday and it worked very well. I checked my tire, 30.5", 245/70/17, deflated to 20psi with my gauge. The pump connected to the tire and the pump gauge read 20psi. Turn it on and timed to pump the tire Inflating back to 36 psi It took about 2 minutes and 40 seconds to refill.The gauge on the pump reads about 2-4psi as it inflates the tire.When the gauge read 40psi square inches I turned on the pump off and it showed 36psi.. checked the tire pressure with my regular pressure…

Ideal for emergencies and everyday use

Built-in pressure gauge is a suggestion rather than a measurement. I see no reason to have a pressure gauge that reads much more than 100psi when it is very doubtful the compressor will run that high. Most car/truck/bike tires are in the 30-40 psi range. This is where it matters. I'm not a fan of hose connections. A fast connection would be better, but it works. A few other reviewers complained about the length of the hose/cable. Making it compact is a compromise. I also have a 400P kit for my…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Almost never

Fine for topping up tires

. that's all i need it for It brings a tire weighing several pounds back to specification in just a few seconds. The gauge is accurate to within a pound or two when you shut off the engine. However, it is best to make the final adjustment with a good manometer. It's quieter than expected. I confirm, power cord 10ft, air hose 8ft. As others have said you need to run the power cord through the top of the motor to get a diagonally opposite hoop. That's not a problem for me because you have to…

Damaged before shipping, quality OK

Just received this and used it once. When I received it the front metal plate was badly bent, although the paintwork was fine, as was the manufacturer's box and the shipping box. This pretty much tells me that it was placed in a damaged box and the panel was probably bent before the product was even assembled as there isn't even a scratch on the paint around the damaged area. CONS: Light, flimsy, cheap tubing, flimsy wires, although it comes with a 20 amp fuse which doesn't make sense to me. If

  • Quality construction

Generally very good but with some flaws.

I am giving the Viair 87P portable compressor four stars instead of five because it has several shortcomings. In general, however, you should be completely satisfied with the performance of the device. A compact compressor with a spare tire fits neatly in the tire of my car, so I can take it with me in the car for emergencies without wasting valuable cargo space. The compressor and the storage bag make a well-made impression. In fact, I was impressed that the Compressor is such a reliable…
