Smittybilt Q89 Dual Cylinder Air Compressor Review

Smittybilt Q89 Dual Cylinder Air CompressorThe unit is the fastest air compressor I have ever owned. It airs up my tires from 15 to 38 psi in no time flat.
The previous compressor I had always got red hot and shut down after 3 tires.
I am totally happy with this purchase.

Viair 44043 440P Portable Compressor Review

Viair 44043 440P Portable CompressorI bought this compressor so I could air my tires back up after offroading. I wont go into detail on the advantaged of doing this but theyre significant enough that I wanted to invest in a quality unit vs just getting one of those little toy cigarette lighter ones sold in most stores. I decided on the 440P vs Viair's other offerings because of the air output and i wanted something with a bit faster fill times vs a higher duty cycle or automatic shutoff. As far as the initial quality goes everything seems to be pretty well made. The way the little base attaches to the compressor itself is a little flimsy since its just 4 little rubber standoffs but I doubt they will break if I dont just beat it around. The Hose is also of pretty good quality, Better than I expected even if its the coiled type that always seems to end up tangled in a big ball after one use. As far as using this compressor It does as advertised, runs smoothly and quietly and surprisingly has no problem pumping my 7 gallon air tank to 120PSI. I can air up my 32" tires in 13 mins from 18-50 PSI with the assistance of using the air tank as a resivoir. One thing to keep in mind is the warning stickers on "extreme heat" this thing will really cook after 10-15 mins of being on. You WILL burn yourself if you touch the metal parts. The handle insulates everything but keep it in mind. You cant just throw it back in the carry case when your done it needs to cool off. Only 4 stars because Of the price, and the amount of heat generated. So far ive put it through 6 or 7 airing up cycles so it will be intersting to see how the longevity is. Overall Its a much better unit than the cheaper ones out there that i have used in the past even if they do the job for occasional use, They are no replacement for something like this that will see heavy use.

Product Description:
Viair 440P Portable Compressor is the largest, highest flowing portable compressor in the entire Viair portable compressor lineup. Simply attach its supplied heavy duty battery clamp power leads to the battery, and attach the lever style air chuck to a tire valve stem and turn the unit on, it can inflate up to 37 inch tires. Air pressure can be monitored using the 5-in-1 inline inflator/deflator hose and gauge included. Always turn off the unit to take an accurate pressure reading since air flow into the tire will show an inaccurate pressure reading while the unit is running.

Viair 3 in 1 Air Down Gauge 0 to 60 PSI Review

Viair 3 in 1 Air Down Gauge 0 to 60 PSIVery handy tool.I had a home-made deflater/gauge but it was old and I didn't trust the PSI indicated.This one matches my other gauges, and is easy to use.The only thing I would add is, I wish it let the air out quicker.Great for anyone venturing off-road with a desire to air down and air back up.Perfect companion to my on board air system.

Q Industries MV89G Green SuperFlow Air Compressor Review

Q Industries MV89G Green SuperFlow Air CompressorI purchased this compressor on Amazon.Com. When I received it, it had a broken buckle on the carring bag, and one of the battery clips was completely in pieces, (broken), very tinny and cheaply made.
I returned it immediately, and would not advise anyone to waste their money on this item.
This is the poorest quality product that I have ever gotten from Amazon.com, and if I receive anything in the future that falls into this grade of JUNK, I will find other merchants to buy from.

Viair 00093 90P Portable Air Compressor Kit Review

Viair 00093 90P Portable Air Compressor KitI'm very impressed by the performance of the 90P Viair compressor.I originally had wanted to buy the 70P Viair compressor because it was cheaper and because it has the car accessory plug-in (instead of the alligator clips), but both my cars has a 10amp accessory fuse and I did not want to take the risk of blowing them every time I used the compressor (I believe the 70P has a 14 amp draw). This led me to consider either the Masterflow, or the MV50, because of their reviews in Amazon.After reading many reviews later, I decide against both of them, mainly because I wasn't very keen on the screw-on air chuck and the coil spring hose.I wanted the snap-on chuck and didn't want to have to stretch a hose to get to a tire. Plus, I noticed that if the hose is attached to the farthest tire, the gauge would wind up being on other end of the car since it's attached to the compressor.I know these are small inconveniences, but for me, I wanted easy on, easy off, no pulling, and the tire gauge by the tire. The 90P looked to have what I wanted plus I thought it looked sturdier and well built. The price of the 90P was a little more than I wanted to pay but the reviews I read convinced me to give it a shot
I have a couple of tires with slow leaks that I haven't had a chance to bring in to fix.I was amazed at how fast it pumped up my tires from about 25lbs to 32lbs (both tires in about 1 min. each).I also topped off all four of my sister's tire in a few mins.The attached air gauge was just as accurate as my hand held gauge, and the bleeder valve on the chuck is definitely a plus.I know I probably won't be using the compressor as much, once I fix my tires, but WOW, you really get what you paid for. Not only is this fast, it quiet.I'm sure the Masterflow and the MV50 performance are probably comparable based on their reviews, but overall, I'm very happy with my choice. I have two other compressors which I paid about $25 for and they are twice asloud and take about 10 times longer.I'll probably keep one as a spare and throw the other one away.
Of course, after I bought this and used it, I found out that there is an 80P viair out there, also with the snap-on chuck, but for less. I would have gone and exchanged the two to save some money, but, I'm so impressed with 90P's performance that I didn't want to go thru the hassle of mailing it back and risk being disappointed.Will probably try the 80P if I need another one, but if they ever discontinue the 80P, I would definitely buy this one again.
I didn't give this a five star because I thought the wire should have been just a little longer and the price more inline with its competitors.

PRO
Snap-on air chuck with bleeder valve
Fast and very quiet.
Gauge is accurate.
Light and well built.
Fits well in bag (no need to detach hose to fit)
No filters to change/replace.

CON
Price
If you have a big truck, the wire may not reach your furthest tire. I have a pilot and I have only a little more than a feet of leeway (from battery to furthest tire

Q Industries MF1089 MasterFlow Twin Air Compressor Review

Q Industries MF1089 MasterFlow Twin Air CompressorBought Viair 300 this Dec/09 and 2 weeks later a superflow MF 1089 for my son. I decided to compare the inflation pressure attained by each compressor at a run time of 90 seconds for each. Using my spare tire 245-45-18 deflated down to zero PSI.
My results:Viair 300 attained 32.5 PSI at 90 seconds.
MF-1089 attaine 35.5 PSI at 90 seconds.
Durability and reliability are different issues and only time and usage will tell. To me, they both look well made. Viair is a single compressor and MF-1089 is double.
Viair weighs about 8 Lbs & MF about 18 Lbs. Viair has standard quick connectors while MF.s is not. It.s their own but it's well made. MF 1089 has more versatilities with their tire chuck connectors and is priced less than Viair.
My personal preference: MF 1089.

Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow Hi-Volume Air Compressor Review

Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow Hi-Volume Air CompressorI bought this compressor with the intent of airing my tires back up after a day of 4-wheeling. For this purpose, it works amazingly. It comes with an awesome carrying case, and everything else you would expect with a portable air compressor...it will air up my tires quickly--the specs state about 4 minutes to air up a 35" tire.

When running, the compressor is pretty quiet and doesn't vibrate and bounce around. The built-in gauge is quite accurate once the unit is turned off.

In short...buy this air compressor if you have ANY use for it at all. It will easily beat compressors which cost over 3 times what this unit does.

The MV50 SuperFlow hi-volume air compressor is perfect for trucks, SUVs, RVs and other full-size vehicles, and is designed for everyday use - from blowing up your kids' soccer ball to filling up a flat tire.

Smittybilt 2723 Tire Deflator Universal Review

Smittybilt 2723 Tire Deflator UniversalWhen I first got these I though they would be very similar to the Staun Deflators. But after trying to use them I was pretty disappointed. If you follow the instructions they are pretty simple to configure. But the air flow was much lower then the Staun and they are much less sensitive then the Staun.

While these do work I would not recommend them.

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator Review

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty Tire InflatorI'm writing this review because the Amazon description doesn't inform you that you NEED 15 amps to power the device as clearly stated in the owner's manual. Unfortunately, I didn't know this before purchase so when I plugged it into my Honda Pilot which only supplies 10 amps, it didn't work. I called Slime customer service who confirmed that all their products require 15 amps.

Check your car owner's manual to make sure your power socket supplies 15 amps!

I'm giving it 5 stars because the device itself looks very high quality with a nice storage case. Slime customer service was also speedy and helpful. Too bad the Amazon item description was inadequate.

UPDATE: I have since bought the Black & Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator which works great with my car.

Goodyear i7000 12-Volt Direct Drive Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator Review

Goodyear i7000 12-Volt Direct Drive Heavy-Duty Tire InflatorI've owned two other tire inflators: both Craftsman.Both were as loud as a jackhammer and caused a massive racket when in use.And they were quite slow in inflating my car tires so the racket went on for longer than I desired.The primary features I wanted in a new unit was low noise output and an ability to inflate my 20" SUV tires.Wow! does this unit deliver!I plugged it in one of my car power outlets and turned it on in my enclosed garage. I know the noise was not noticeable to my townhouse neighbors.And the inflation is much faster: with my Craftsman, I would settle in for the wait to inflate 5psi, turn on the radio and check the gauge every few minutes.With this one, I had to watch the gauge closely to ensure I did not over-inflate within 1 minute.(According to the claim on the box, it will inflate a 14" tire from 0-28psi in under 2:30 seconds.)

What you get:

* 16-ft PVC air hose w/ quick connect cabling (much like most Craftsman air compressors);
* 10-ft power cord with a 15 amp fuse (this length, plus that of the air hose, should be plenty long enough for most folks);
* Built-in analog pressure gauge (above 30 psi, it displays 2psi increments up to 150psi);
* 4 LED lights built into the inflator (the lamp has a separate on/off switch from the inflator)
* Four inflation adaptors for toys, balls, rafts, etc.

The box also includes 2 replacement 12v fuses.I can't speak to longevity as I've not put it through any wear-and-tear but since it's a direct drive motor, fewer moving parts would imply that it should last longer than other gear driven models.The whole thing fits nicely in a carrying bag that can easily fit behind any car seat (it's about the size of an adult's soft lunchbox).Time will tell whether Goodyear was wise in allowing its name used on this model but so far, so good.Highly recommend.
