Was it fully charged? Is it pretty much one charge cycle per tire?

[@thingshappen9199]

Hi. Is it still operational or busted? Do you think it is still worth it?

[@dlbracer56]

I've bought one for each vehicle about two years ago. It HAS come in handy to top off and maintain tire pressure. I've even had the occasion to recover from a nail in a tire, and it went completely flat. It took about 10 minutes to get to the 33 PSI, then got to the tire shop. It's not the fastest or the absolute best, but it's good for the occasional need.

[@trf.product.reviews]

Agreed

[@gtaatmiami]

I’m cool with the time. Saves me from falling over myself to find coins under the couch and going to the gas station

[@trf.product.reviews]

Boom!

[@rickyrummel409]

I prefer a pump that runs off the vehicle battery. I don’t want another battery to keep charged. I keep small compressors in every I own. Compressors that hook up to cigarette lighter, or directly to the battery.

[@mikeschumacher9715]

Air creates heat. Compressed air creates more heat. The process of compressing air in the head generates heat in the compressed air itself. Each time the compressor piston cycles it is pulling in free air molecules from outside of the intake filter, then cramming those same free air molecules together, driving out the pressure valve, into that copper tube, and in the process, forcing them to rub up against each other.

[@nelsonstruewe4047]

These are amazing, especially in the garage in the winter when pressure changes because of cold temps. I love mine!

[@trf.product.reviews]

Yes they are!

[@absalon24]

I brought one a couple years ago. I only use it for inflaming balls or bike tires. I tried it on my car and it was taking too long. You will burn out the motor on the pump. Dumb video don’t try it.

[@Steazo046]

After watching this video and reading some of the comments, you come off like you were paid for your opinion. If it only took 3 or 4 minutes to inflate from 32 PSI to 40 PSI then why didn't you say that in your video. I am sure that is one of the main reasons why we bothered to watch. I think it wasn't cool of you, after being asked how long it took, that you referred viewers to the other comments, DUDE YOU WERE THE ONE WHO LEFT OUT AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN NOW YOU'RE ACTING LIKE YOUR TIRED OF US ASKING HOW LONG IT TOOK,!

[@trf.product.reviews]

A full car tire from zero to full* is a pretty good fill time.

[@Lightsidegun]

But you didn’t go from zero. You started at 31, so it ran out after 9 lbs.

[@47833starz]

I think everyone on here is asking basically the same question but you're not answering in a straightforward manner. They are asking how long it took YOU to fill YOUR tire. We all saw it about 7.5 lbs low but we only got to watch you put in a couple lbs. How long did it take YOU to fill it to the 40 lb shut off. Also, it appeared to me as though the unit was low of charge at the beginning. I know the charge is dependent on how much it is used and how long it sat after it was charged but I'd be curious if this unit would need charged again after only supplying 7 1/2-8 lbs of pressure.

[@trf.product.reviews]

Probably 2-3 minutes for the bike tire to refill.

Not good! I got a flat tire at the mall, used this device for 45 minutes and the tire kept deflating. This is more geared for bicycles and pool toys than a car.

[@ABel-oi5kv]

It says on the sticker on the device you shouldn't use it continuously for more than 10 mins straight! It also advises the user to take a break for 5 mins . To power on before connecting the inflation tube for real - time pressure detection.

[@jaye212]

Ok, for what it’s worth. I just topped off my Chevy S-10 tire. I took it from 35 to 40psi. It took 2.8 mins. It did shutoff automatically. The hose/stem wasn’t hot and I still had 100% battery power.

[@wisegeorge365]

I just aired up two car tires from 27 lbs to 35 lbs. After it recharges I will do the same to the back tires. Fully charged it can pump, maybe 20 lbs of car tire pressure before needing a recharge. It's good for a whole bunch of bicycles, lots of basketballs and footballs or two car tires that are 7-10 lbs low. Don't let them get that low, that's too low. I've had it for four years and it beats dragging out an extension cord for my old school pump.

This inflator worked great for the first three months. I was able to fill my car, mini van and motorcycle tires with no issues. Now, it’s only capable of filling my bicycle tires. Not worth the money. No long term reliability. Took about $100 hit, including case. I really can’t use it for the reason I bought it for. I do not recommend this product.

[@spencereden62]

I purchased this a few months ago and it works great for airing up my tires. However, my grandchild wanted me to blow up one of her toys and I found out that NONE of the other attachments work with it!!! I can't screw them in. Am I missing something? I notice you did not demonstrate any of the attachments.

[@simpsonhomerenovations]

You should have let all the air out of the tire, and then let us know how long it takes to fill a flat tire up .

I don''t think I'd use it for that. I'd use it to top off.

​@@trf.product.reviewscan you find and review one that is good for flat yo full? Thinking of Christmas presents. Dont want them having false confidence that this would air a flat. Can you review one for that?

[@DanLoFat]

When they say let it sit for a minute and let it cool down that doesn't mean you have to leave it attached to the device tire or ball that you have just pumped. Play remove the device from the item you pumped, and let the device sit for a while. Polaris you thought that you had to let it sit and not release from the ball retire, that's beyond hilarious actually.

[@vannamich79]

My 2015 Elantra came with an air pump I just plug it to the car lighter and off I go😂

[@MoviePalaceOfBlood]

I have something similiar I'm having confusion using. Did you attach this to your tire with a long slim black attachment? Mine says to use that and theres no screwing onto the valve stem, but the connection doesnt seem good. Or did you connect the tube coming out of the device directly to tire, with no attachment? I had mine connected for a couple minutes and I cant even get a psi reading, its set for 35 but just keeps showing random numbers up and down while its running. My manual stick gauge I keep checking with says 25 psi, as if the device isnt getting any air into the tire.

[@trf.product.reviews]

I always attach the tube to the device and then the other end of the tube to hat I'm filling up.

[@wcjcnc]

How long does it take to inflate a completely flat car tire?

[@trf.product.reviews]

I've never done that, but also don't advise it. This device is better to top-off a tire with a leak, not a completely flat tire.

[@markplautz6842]

You should also have mentioned a couple other things: 1. Does it come with a quick release or do you have to screw the end of the hose onto the valve stem? If it’s the screw type you will lose air while unscrewing it. 2. What is the maximum continuous use time? Those miniature compressors do get hot (as you mentioned) but most will include a disclaimer that reads something akin to not be used more than 5 or 6 minutes continuously or may overheat and seize the compressor. Do your research folks. Good for emergency use….

[@trf.product.reviews]

1) Have to screw it in, you do not lose air while unscrewing. 2) I am not sure to be honest. I filled a bike from nothing and had no problem, but not sure how long it could go.

[@Vivianauxito]

Good review ,Sir. How can we connect with you if we wanna get our product reviewed

[@DanLoFat]

Okay if you started and you didn't say if you had, started with that fully charged and got the tire to go from whatever it was up to 40 lb, that's horrible. If you can't do at least 20 tires on a full charge, it's absolutely useless. Can't do a full tire from near zero to fall add three more tires as well as the spare, on a full charge, then it's a piece of crap.

[@trf.product.reviews]

Full CAR tire from zero. Bike would be fine.

Eventually the battery will go bad. So couple questions, do you know if it is replaceable? And two, could you run it off AC using the charging cord?

[@trf.product.reviews]

I do not think it's replaceable, but ours is still going strong. For charging from the AC, if you found an adapter I think you could but it's not made with that in mind.
