Amazon Basics Portable Air Compressor, Dual Battery Clamps with Carrying Case, Black and Red

I received the compressor today and checked it out. The compressor is factory set to compress to 45 PSI. It doesn't shut off, but must have a bypass valve, because it continues to run, but doesn't increase pressure above the set point. You can change the set point so you don't go overpressure. The Good: The coiled air hose is high quality and works well. It would reach from the front to back wheels without moving the compressor. I like the screw on the connector for tire valve stems. The battery connection clamps are heavy gauge connectors. The duel compressors move a lot of air, I increased tire pressure on an off-road tire from 30 to 45 lbs, in about 2 minutes. That's significantly faster than other compressors I've owned. It's much quieter than my previous battery operated compressors also. After airing the tires, I disconnected the fill line from the tire, and let the compressor run about a minute to cool any internals. I stored back in the bag with air hose connected on one side, and power cord on the other. The bad: There is no cigarette lighter adapter to connect to the car. That would keep from having to connect to the battery under the hood. I prefer to connect to the battery under the hood and with the car running to provide the best volts and amps to the compressor. Others may want to keep there hands clean. It does shut off after about 3 minutes at set pressure. The screw on tire connector was a hassle with the last tires I used it on.and didn't thread well. I pumped tires up from 28 to 38 PSI is about 2 minutes each. Really quick.

This compressor seems like a good value vs. brand-name/competitors. I bought it for airing-up tires after 4-wheeling. Yesterday, I used it for the first time to air up P265/70R17 tires from ~19PSI to ~35PSI. Took me a total of 13min to get all 4 tires to pressure (including time to move from tire-to-tire). Pump did not shut-off or overheat. It also seems to run very quietly compared to other compressors I've seen/heard. Included hose is plenty long enough to reach all 4 tires of a 4Runner. I did notice that the pump does not shut-off once reaching set pressure but need to try again (although this seems consistent w/ other reviews).

I've had good luck with my Amazon basics on my 33" tires on my Wrangler with 33" x 12.5" tires. The flow rate of 2.12 CFM at freeflow is pretty impressive for the price (especially the $55 I paid the week this thing came out), since the comparable priced viair (88P) is only 1.5 cfm. Even the compact ARB is only 3 cfm at over $300, although I'm sure it has a better duty cycle. I fill my tires from about 16 to 30 psi in 15 minutes or so. I DO exceed its duty cycle (10 min on/10 min off) though and get it pretty hot, but I do it at relatively low pressures, which reduces heat build up, and it seems to be holding up fine after 15-20 air ups. This thing is a bit quieter than most mini compressors, too. A handy feature is you set your pressure and forget it. The compressor keeps running, but it no longer fills the tire after you reach your desired pressure, so it requires less attention. It has a nice hose, too, so you can reach all the tires from one spot. I might actually try mounting it under the hood to save some space and see how it handles the heat.

I bought this for my Jeep. It has worked out well to reinflate the tires after deflating and going off-road. You can set the pressure you want, hook it up, turn it on and come back five minutes later to move on to the next tire. I go from about 18 psi to 36 psi for all four tires without needing to stop to let it cool down. I like hooking it up directly to the battery, but there is also an option to plug it in a power port. I also like the case. Everything goes back in easily, although you might need to let it cool down a bit first. Recommended.

It worked great the first couple of times but now it’ll only run for about 15 seconds before shutting itself off. I’ve had it just over a month so no return available….

This compressor is the one I wanted. It basically is being used to air up my mower tires, so it is easy to use. Just attach it to the battery and go. I have also used it on one of my tires of my pickup. It doesn't take forever to air up like my previous compressors. I am glad I selected this one.

This portable compressor works very well (at least for now). During fall and winter, the machine to inflate the tires at the gas station is more prone to fail, so I decided to buy this product to top off the tires of my car by adding the extra PSI needed. I was a little worried about buying this product because of the bad reviews it has, but I decided to give this product a chance. The compressor is lightweight, easy to assemble, easy to install, and very easy to use. The compressor has an LED light which may be useful if you need to inflate the tires at dark places, like being off-road. It also has a protective switch and alligator connectors to connect to the car battery. It has a digital display to check the PSI or BAR units, and a hose to connect to the tire valve. It includes a spare fuse and some adapters to inflate football, volleyball and that kind of balls, and an adapter for inflatable mattress. To inflate the car tire, assemble all components first. Ensure the car is running in order not to deplete your car battery. Ensure the compressor is turned OFF. Connect the alligator connectors as described in the instructive. Turn on the compressor to check if it works, but do not connect the compressor to the tire yet. Turn the compressor off. Adjust the PSI to the desire level. Connect the hose to the tire, then turn on the compressor, the compressor will inflate the tire and will turn off automatically once it reaches the PSI configured. Turn off the compressor, disconnect the hose from the tire. Unplug the compressor from the car battery, turn off your car, let the compressor to cool down, and wrap up the compressor and its components on the bag. Overall, for the price and functionality of this product, I believe it’s a good choice. It may not be the best, but it works. I will update my review if the compressor breaks; or if it doesn’t work accordingly. Update: I used the compressor three times and the air hose valve connector broke which caused an air leakage. The car tire couldn't get inflated, when connecting the hose it caused a leakage instead deflating the tire. Contacted Amazon support and the representative issue me a full refund because they didn't have a replacement for the air hose. See pictures for the air hose damage.

A great litttle compressor. It can inflate two - 255 75 R17 (32” tire) from 15 psi to 40 psi in 10 minutes, which is the continuous runtime limit. I like the digital readout of the PSI, and it is accurate enough based upon my tire guage and TPMS readout. The PSI limit is also a handy feature as you can walk away and know that it won’t be overinflated. Two thing I would change: In the manual it just states the continuous runtime is 10 minutes. Usually that is given for a set PSI, so for inflating tire at a lower PSI, you should be able to run the compressor for longer. However, without that extra detail, you should switch off after 10 mins regardless of whether it had additional thermal headroom. Two, the battery leads are a little short making it a small stretch to reach the far side, rear tire. Small changes for a compressor that costs a fraction of the other heavy duty ones.

Cast metal and hard plastic casing makes this a very sturdy unit, and a bit heavier than it looks. It's also more compact than pictures suggest and fits snugly along with all accessories and coiled air-hose into a neat 9-10l decent quality carry-bag. The unit has a fixed LED display plus a built-in LED torch which has its own separate on/off switch. Supplied also are some adaptors for football and leisure inflatables, and a spare in-line spade fuse, but no adaptor for Presta bike valves, (although such an adaptor would be a cheap and easy-to-acquire purchase if required). Power cable is flat-figure-8 with an in-line fuse and is sufficiently long to reach from under-bonnet +ve and -ve battery terminals to kerb-side where it is likely to be sited. Coiled extending air-hose is substantial with good quality spring-loaded feel, and which will stretch plenty 'nuff to go round to the rear of the car without re-siting the unit or putting unnecessarily stretch on the power cables. NB this inflator's electric motor has a higher current-draw than most single-cylinder compact tyre compressors, so it must be used on a high-amperage circuit or directly to battery terminals - using it with a cigar-socket or accessory terminals will probably blow fuses lower than 30A and/or cause the car's wiring to overheat. When switched on, first impression is how the two cylinders balanced operation and rubber feet isolation creates less noise than expected: it whirs rather than clatters, making it rather more neighbour-friendly than many other inflators at this price-point. In operation the unit can inflate a modest 225x65xR17 flat tyre to 2.5 Bar in around a minute and topping-up from 28psi to 36 psi in around 6 or 7 seconds, making this one of the fastest non-hgv compressors I have used. Because of the fast flow-rate, I have never had to make the unit work hard or stay on for an extended period, which would involve pausing operation to allow cooling down as is recommended. The red LED digital readout is clear, and has three operating buttons to set and control auto-shut off. I found the shut-off to be accurate when checking with another gauge, however the subsequent displayed pressure is slightly lower than actual, making you think it still has a little way to go. Armed with this information I have found no need to repeat operation as it will then over-pressure until the sensor is reset: this is my sole quibble with the product (if I could drop half a star..), and by no means a deal-breaker. Great quality product at the price, and a must-have for your car or van's weekly checks or for emergencies, or for those who want an fast and efficient inflator, but don't need a professional capacity compressor for power-tools or professional use in garage or workshop. Edit as follow up to original review: - three years on this thing is still going and just as powerful as when purchased. I lost one of the rubber feet which came off and I couldn't find it in the dark so got another one which looks diffent but fits, (should have used the LED torch, shouldn't I?) I went through a period of a few weeks when due to road debris I had a couple of slow punctures which necessitated topping up every day until I bit the bullet for new tyres. Pressed into daily use it never failed, never overheated and the hoses and seals are intact and doing their job. I found that the screw-on valve fitment as supplied was fine but a bit foutery for cold fingers in the winter and necessitated taking gloves off so I bought a short hose extension with quick-release lever for Schrader valves (£7), screwed it on and just left it in place on the airhose where it can be attached and removed from the tyre valve in seconds without stripping the hose threads, (as can happen when impatience to get on the road is a factor). Problem solved and makes this a more user-friendly compressor, especially with winter mitts on.

Semble robuste et de bonne qualité, il est pratique de pouvoir encoder la valeur souhaitée et qu'il s'arrête automatiquement. Gonfle un pneu de 4x4 plutôt rapidement.

I ordered this because it had the best price for the specs. First one came and it was Dead on arrival. It was super easy to spend back and I got my money. Did another search and ended up ordering the same one again. Did a quick test and everything seems to work and it was super fast to pump up my tires on my Truck. Will update as i use it more.

I tried entire Mumbai market to purchase this motor but such type motor is not Thank you Amazon for providing such an efficient motor in convenient price
