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 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.

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 well, the first few times I used it. however, yesterday, it died when pumping up the second tire to 110 psi. now, it just slowly drains air from the tires while making the pumping noise it made before. I can see why it is no longer available. I hadn't used it extensively when the warranty was in effect, but when really needed, now I have to go find a place to get 110 psi air pressure for my trailer tires. can NOT recommend this product to anyone for any purpose.

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.

Update: Well, it failed about a month ago. The coiled hose screw-on tip which attaches to the tire valve broke while I was trying to screw it on to inflate the tire. The temp was 18F. The cold temp may have had something to do with it. So I'm forced to downgrade my rating since it should have not broken. So far, my 5-star rating still holds. Due to a tiny sidewall puncture on a long trip, I've been forced to re-inflate my pick-up truck tire at least twice daily for the past week. The compressor performed flawlessly. I just purchased a replacement tire. This compressor will stay in my truck bed.

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).
