Review on Powerful And Convenient: OlarHike 12V Portable Air Compressor With 150PSI Dual Cylinder Metal Pump And LED Night Light/Auto Shut-Off For SUVs/Trucks In Gold by Nap Olivas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quick, Quiet, Small but Stout

There's nothing not to like about this little dual cylinder compressor/inflator. Its best features are incredible speed and quietness. Your tires can be dead empty and can be brought up to 35 lbs. in around two minutes thanks to the dual cylinders. It's much quieter than the one it replaced and doesn't vibrate or travel on the ground. The quick connector lets you connect the air hose to the valve stem with a quick push and forward snap--no more trying to thread a screw. There are other things to like, such as the onboard LED light array. Read the description for details. It stows neatly in its zipper bag, small enough to fit in the glove box. It has the features most newer compressors have: preset function, easy to read, accurate LCD backlit display, multiple tips for different inflatables, etc. It comes with a 10+ foot coiled air hose extension in case the equally long power cord is too short to reach a tire, although you'd have to be driving a stretch limo for that to be the case. I was able to easily reach all 4 tires in my Chevy Volt from the power outlet in the top dash compartment. The power cord is heavier gauge than the flimsy ones that come with most inflators; like lamp cord, and should hold up well over the long haul. The one that came with the Volt used flimsy single strand cord that wraps into a channel and then pulls (with difficulty) into a cut out on the underside of the unit. You can only perform this operation so many times before the strain on the cord takes its toll and breaks internally, which is why I replaced it with this one.Bottom line: unless this thing quits prematurely, I can't say enough good things. Before I forget: This thing comes in at a much lower price point than other inflators with similar features. If you've ever had to pull into a service station to air up a low tire, you need one of these. This thing will inflate quicker and give you accurate pressure readings (verified by matching the inflator reading with my car's TPS reading).

Pros
  • Upgraded tire inflator
Cons
  • The compressor's metal construction may make it heavy and difficult to maneuver during use
