Review on EPAuto Portable Compressor Inflator Compact by Rick Kreutzer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Loud and suitable for tires and wheels

Previous reviews told me it would be loud and fast; my experience confirms this. One detail I didn't know until I got it is that this device has a 50% duty cycle in 20 minutes. So you should only let it run for 10 minutes and then give it a 10 minute rest to cool down. To keep my tires full (including one that I think I found a nail in to fix that leak with) that was quite enough. For more serious tire pressure, this may not be enough. (But running from a cigarette lighter, I have a hard time imagining this device being better than this device.) I like how the body of the device neatly accommodates the inflation hose and most of the cords when I fold it. It's pretty convenient. Some reviews have noted issues with sensor accuracy. For me, the gauge always matched my other two gauges +/- 1 psi. Overall I am 100% glad I bought this pump and I can buy a second one for my other car.
