I own this unit and it is built to last. Jump N Carry is what a lot of professionals use because it does the job. With 1700 peak amps you can start about anything. The added air compressor and 12V power source is also a great feature out there in the field. You can buy cheaper imitations like the other fellow but eventually you will be back to get a Jump N Carry.

After reading the reviews on this starter/compressor, I thought I ordered a compact compressor/starter with some "power". Boy, was I Wrong! I was shocked to see it only provides 60 psi. My horse trailer tires required at least 80+lbs. It does have a power outlet and charger cables but you can get that in a much cheaper version. I stopped looking and reboxed it; after noticing the 60 psi it was worthless to me. For the price $273.17 (with s/h) that's not good enough. Plus, I could never get a live person on the phone for return info, it was email only communication (Fox automotive) I Bought it on 2/18/09 returned it 02/27/09 and finally got my refund of 224.00 on 3/20/09 but only after I inquired about my credit. Plus I had to pay for return shipping $21.00 (that was the cheap shipping) Trust me it cost me 70.17 cents to figure out this wasn't what I wanted. Not convinced this product is worth the time or the money. But it's pretty :)

I found a compressor/charger at an auto store for 59.99. Works great!

I hope I've helped with this review!

This is the real deal and works like it too. It's not a foreign made imitation like most. It's made in the USA and is a superior quality product. I highly recommend it.

I've had the product for about a year, and it just works. I had it sitting for @ 2 months, used it to jump a dead battery, and the car started on the first attempt. A few days ago, my daughter called me frantic because a tire on her car went flat. I put some fix a flat in it, used the compressor, and it took a few minutes, but the it worked. One downside to the onboard air guage, it doesn't reflect the pressure in the tire. You'll need a seperate tire gauge for that. For example the unit showed 40psi, but the tire had only 30 pounds with a seperate gauge. Nevertheless, I didn't have to change a tire, call a tow truck, and my daughter was back on the road in minutes..It works. And its AMERICAN made.

I own 3 Clore Booster packs. One of them is the one with the built in inflator. These units are well built. They perform as advertised. I have had no issues with the chargers at all. I would prefer if they put battery indicator lights on these units as well. The 660 now has the indicator light and the battery protection which doesn't allow an overcharge. The older units have to be charged as per specs or you could damage the units.

I just got this Jump starter and it has already save me

a few times. I just started a friends car and fill the tires

in my car and the best part is it fills the tires up in a decent

amount of time and has great jump starting power.

Buy this jump starter you won't regret it

I just got mine the other day and it says Made in China right on it, so the other review who said it was made in the USA was either wrong or they no longer make these in the US. I'm pretty disappointed because I thought I was buying an American made product. Also I am very disappointed to see that it only goes up to 60 PSI considering pretty much all cheap compressors these days go up to at least double that. 60 PSI is barely enough to inflate a truck tire, but if you have a big trailer or RV that requires more pressure, forget it. The only good thing about this unit is that the compressor nozzle is metal not plastic. Plastic nozzles that break is the reason why I had to throw away a similar Black & Decker and Stanley unit (also made in China, by the way). The warranty is only a year and after that you have to pay $75 plus shipping (so probably around $100 considering it's heavy) to have it fixed, so probably not worth it if you can buy a brand new one for $160.

Great piece of mind..though have not used yet and hope to never need. Heavy but not important as they are stored in rear of vehicle. Seems well built and great cust. service.
