I have used another portable air compressor before, and it sounded like WWIII was beginning. I also had to keep a foot planted on it to keep it still. Not the same story with this compressor. Yes it makes noise. Yes it vibrates. They all do, but with this compressor it is all done at an acceptable level. A reasonable amount of power lead, which reaches all 4 wheels of a 2007 Toyota Camry. I have to get the compact spare out of the trunk to fill that but that is not a problem.
Unlike some other pumps, this does not have a plastic lever to clip the air line onto the tire valve. You press the line to the valve and screw the sleeve on. This is all made of brass. It can be a little fiddly but again, I don't consider that a problem. In fact, I found a reason to make it a positive. If you are only topping up a tire, there is no need to screw onto the valve at all. Just hold it onto the valve with steady pressure, the same as you would do at a gas station. Regarding those who feel that you lose pressure while unscrewing the sleeve from the valve, then as another reviewer stated you can slightly overfill. Personally, if you hold the airline onto the valve as you unscrew then it releases practically nothing. Then simply whip away the airline once completely unscrewed.
It all packs away in a hard wearing nylon carry bag that is supplied, and allows you to keep the nozzle accessories with the compressor should you need it for other jobs such as rafts etc.
So, for the working noise, vibration, store-ability, and the budget price I'm pleased with my purchase. It does what I need it to which is to keep the tires at the correct pressures on my car.
Final note. ALL gauges that are fitted onto the pumps have a discrepancy tolerance. Always use a separate, accurate gauge to check the pressures. Once you know if yours is over or under reading and by how much then you can allow for that on the gauge on the pump, but I'd still check that that doesn't change over time.

Once you give this air compressor a try, I would guess you'd like it. Short summary of pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Super compact, this thing is like 8 inches long by 5 inches high
2. Powerful enough for sedans and compact cars (not for trucks!)
3. Does the job
4. Nozzle literally screws onto the tire valve stem, which ensures no loss of air and a PERFECT fit (far better than the models where you flip a plastic latch) and you don't have to hold the nozzle in place manually
5. Steel construction for the most part
Cons:
1. You have to make sure the air pressure in the tire is low when you start, otherwise it won't start (and you may burn out the fuse)
That's it, very few cons. If someone buys this and complains about the "power," I would call that an unfair review because this model is not designed for super high air pressure (it's $31). If you want more power, you have to be willing to pay more.

This item comes with a canvas bag with pockets for the air compressor and coiled pipe and it very easy to carry it around. It also come with air fill adaptor for air bloom and ball needle.
Fill air for auto tire was a breeze. It takes about a minute to fill the tire. The power cord connects to 12V cigarette power outlet and is long enough to extends to the outside of the car for the air compressor on the floor. It also has a long coiled air pipe with one end snap to the air compressor, and the other end connected to a threaded air valve connector. To fill the air, just thread the connector to the tire valve, and turn it on. You and monitor the air pressure from the dial gauge on the air compressor. After it is done, just turn off the power.
The air pressure gauge has very large range, and it is hard to ping point the actual pressure. The notes on top of the gauge states that the gauge is not very accurate, with error from 3psi to 9 psi. After a few tries with a separate tire gauge to measure the actual tire pressure, I was able to figure out the how to read the air pressure gauge without consulting the separate tire pressure gauge.
I left this compressor in the car trunk, so when the tire pressure is low, I don't have to go hunt for the air station at gas station. I also used this device for my bike and ball and it is super fast to fill the air.
Overall, I like this device with a few reservation on the in accurate air gauge.

slow but does the job
this little unit seems to be well built. sturdy enough so it doesn't bounce all over the pavement and is not as noisy as I expected. And the gauge is pretty accurate at 32psi. Read more

Not worth the money or your time.
Very disappointed in this product. DOES NOT inflate a tire in less than 2 minutes. Took over 35 mins to inflate ONE tire from 20lbs to 40lbs. Don't believe the description. Read more

GREAT LITTLE MACHINE
I purchased this compressor because of the previous reviews. They were absolutely correct. It will inflate a car tire to 40lbs in about 3 minutes. Read more

Broke down way too soon

Not good for every day use
It is ok to fill up a single tire here and there, but if you're looking to check and fill tires on multiple cars at the same time you need a lot of patience. Read more
