5.0 out of 5 stars simply good enough, July 6, 2008

This review is from: LifeLine AAA 300 PSI 12 Volt DC Air Compressor (Sports)

i have read all the reviews of this type of product and i'm sure glad i didn't go over budget with this one. this thing is noisy for sure but not deafening if you are outdoor. it is slow compared to the station pump but it did a large SUV tire in ten minutes.....not bad i say. the pressure guage is accurate enough when i compared it to the pocket devices. but it is so light, small, easy to use and affordable that you have to accept a few short comings. overall it does the intended job simply good enough for me and i would expect most people to be satisfied also. my one concern with it is that there is no safety blow off system so my wife must pay attention for the ten minutes watching that pressure guage. then again, it is made for adults.

4.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS JUST FINE for Occasional Home Use., July 26, 2011

NO this is Not a commercial air compressor, it's meant for occasional home use and it does just fine in that capacity. Yes it takes a bit longer to fill up a tire and it makes a lot of noise for something this size. If you want something faster and quieter you can spend two to three times more. I personally don't think it is worth it for what I use it for.

This works well to top off a tires air pressure, a beach ball, football etc. It will not fill up a pool float, air mattress or anything large it just does not produce the large volume of air required to do so.

I only use this 5 to 6 times a year and have been doing so for 4 plus years with the same compressor. This has held up exceptionally well even though it sounds like it is going to fall apart when I run it. It has basically paid for itself with the gas I have saved going to the service station and the fee they charge to use there compressor. Also keeping your tires inflated to the right pressure will slow down on tire wear and maximize the miles per gallon of gas you use.

The negatives are;
1~ It takes longer to fill a tire.
2~ It's noisy.
3~ The fill hose could be longer to fill larger SUV tires.
4~ The gauge is not very accurate. ( I use a separate tire gauge to check the pressure )

The positives are;
1~ It's inexpensive.
2~ It works quite well.
3~ It held up well.
4~ It's compact and easy to store.
5~ My wife thinks I am working very hard outside with all the noise this makes.

All and all this is a good reasonably priced compressor that works quite well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing performance, January 23, 2008

This review is from: LifeLine AAA 300 PSI 12 Volt DC Air Compressor (Sports)

I used this for a couple of different things.
1. To top up the air in a car tire. It took a long time (over 2 mins) to go from 25psi to 34psi.
2. To fill a medium size inflatable toy. This took over 10 minutes.

The things that I liked about this compressor:
1. Compact size
2. Price

Cons:
1. Extremely noisy and it vibrates a lot, causing it to move on the road due to the vibration.
2. Very slow performance (see results above)
3. Tube is really short - about 18 inches. My car has 18" wheels and with the tire nozel at the position highest off the road, the tube barely reached.
4. Only works on 12v. Would be nice if it worked on AC power as well.
5. The pressure guage is not too accurate, but merely an approximation.

I guess you get what you pay for, but due to the number of cons, this one is going back. I am surprised that AAA would lend their name to such a sub-standard product.
