EPAuto 12V DC Portable Air Compressor Pump, Digital Tire Inflator

This portable air compressor works exactly as expected. It inflates tires quickly, is easy to use, and the compact size makes it perfect to keep in the car for emergencies. The power cord is long enough to reach all four tires, and the pressure gauge is clear and accurate. Great value for the price. Highly recommended!

Terrific, small air compressor. I bought one for my pickup and it worked so well, I picked up a second one for my Bride. The cord plugs easily connect to a power outlet (aka cigarette lighter) and is plenty long to get to all tires. Auto shut-off when it reaches your choice air pressure. Cute, too...they look like little red choo-choo trains. They come with their own storage bag.

Quick review for a product that vastly exceeded expectations.This was my 3rd replacement for cheap tire inflators that failed just a few uses. I had a set of rims that never sealed properly despite being checked and serviced on multiple occasions by different shops, even with new tires mounted. Every wheel would eventually develop a slow leak and I was using an inflator enough to be embarrassed about it.The 3 inflators prior to this purchase failed in just a few uses each. Whether it was the compressor, power cable, or some other electrical issue, nothing around the $20-30 price was going survived what I would even call light use. (Shoutout to Slime products for being some of the most unreliable hardware/junk I've ever used!)I was getting rid of the car and its awful rims, so I really didn't want to spend much on quality. This was my last try before the nuclear option of dropping $100+ on some sort of battery charger/tire inflator combo or behemoth from Milwaukee that I would never use. So I did some very light research and after seeing a few decent reviews, settled on this thing for the same price, 2 years ago.Since then, this solid little unit has done everything I've ever asked of it, and I've asked a lot. It has never failed to air up even a full set of 4 perfectly average, 17" 225/50 tires, from fully flat to overinflated (slow leaks!). Even after pumping up a full set of tires from low pressures, I don't think I ever triggered the overheat protection of the unit. The digital pressure gauge and cutoff feature of the unit are pretty accurate when checked with a manual gauge; I never underinflated a tire in relation to my desired PSI.It's not fast. I don't think you can get --or should want-- fast at this price point, but it is reliable. EPAuto says not to use it on truck tires; I think you probably could if you had to, but singles only, with lots of breaks.They don't seem to have wasted much money on crappy cases that conceal tiny compressors like others at this range, so it doesn't look cool. Oh well, never going to impress anybody airing tires anyway.It has a spotlight, which has come in handy more often than I expected.My biggest knock against the EPAuto is the screw-on valve connector, which can be a pain to use. I always felt like I was losing a pound or two of air while scrambling to disconnect hose quickly, but protip: a little brass schrader quick-connect chuck for $5-10 her on Amazon and that problem is solved. (Or overinflate by a pound or two and stop whining)It comes in a decent little soft carrying case, and it has storage slots for coiling the power cord and air hose. It's crazy, but it almost seems like they cared about how this product might actually be used more than once.It would make a nice little emergency tool for the trunk, even if you own more expensive compressors. I rarely give reviews, but good products at inexpensive prices deserve it.

This is a short term review as I have used this pump only once. I like it. I have another brand, a few generations older model, and comparing this new one to the older one is like night and day. I was very surprised by the amount of noise it produces. Whereas the older model/brand was extremely loud (can probably be heard for a few hundred feet), this one is very quite. Very impressive. All my neighbors knew when I was airing up my tires when I used the older pump. But, not now. I had to actually listen carefully to try and hear it running as I was walking around the car to check on it. Very nice.Some people said that they had issues with the preset pressure overfilling the tire and the nozzle causing lots of pressure to escape during connecting/disconnecting it. I found none of these to be an issue. The pressure was fairly accurate and the nozzle, if removing it is done swiftly, did not cause any significant loss of pressure.The gauge on the pump is fairly accurate as I have tested against two quality dial type pressure gauges. One of them being a Snap-On brand gauge.The pump comes with a nice little vinyl bag in which to store it. I like that.Granted, this pump is rather industrial looking when compared to other brands. It is not as ergonomically designed or housed in a nice shell, but, it does a good job. Ninety nine percent of the time, I go for go, not show.I gave this pump four stars because I thought that the light should have its own on/off switch. I realize that the lights are LED type, and probably do not draw much power, but, it still would be nice to be able to turn them off, just in case the vehicle's battery is not in top shape and you are stranded on the side of the road. You surely do not want to have to get a battery jump start after the tire issue is fixed.Overall, this is a good pump. I highly recommend it. It is easy to use. Quite. Compact. And, works well. Thumbs up!

Worked great! I really like being able tonset the psi and have the compressor fill to that number! I only wish the power cord was a tad bit longer. Highly recommend!

Works great!! Instructions are clear and the display is easy to see. Storage bag is perfect size and everything packs easily.

This air compressor works really well and is easy to use. It inflates tires quickly and the size is perfect for keeping in the car for emergencies. The build quality feels strong and the power cord is long enough to reach all tires easily. Good value for the price and very convenient for road trips and daily use

I bought this compressor because of all the good reviews. I read some bad ones and figured what are the chances of me getting a dud. It looks nice out of the box and worked well for 2 incidents. I topped off 3 tires and it was great. It was fast. Yesterday, I tried to top off another tire and in the middle of doing it, it stopped pumping and no more compressor noise. The flash light still work and the fuse is good. I love this thing, but wish it works. Will return it. Too bad.Update:I had initially given it a 1 star because the unit received was defective.I wanted to give this unit another try and got a replacement from EPAuto.The new one works perfectly as advertised.During the recent snow storm, the temps fluctuated up and down and the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on my minivan displayed the low air icon. On the night before the storm, it was 10PM and I decided to use the van next morning because of the snow. The temperature was 27 degrees, but I had better do it then than the next morning. All 4 tires were about 2-3 pounds off. I hooked up the new unit, set the pressure to 35 and each tire took about 45 seconds to finish each tire. It was a breeze and I was ready to go the next day. Each tire stopped pumping when it reached the desired pressure. I was not worried about overheating because it was cold that night.Imagine if I had to do it the next morning, with the temp at 21 degrees and snow covered tires? Whoa!!If I didn’t have this thing, I would had to go to the gas station. Sometimes I have to wait or they give a “No Air” sign, saying the hose froze. And it’s $1.50 each time too!I had also topped off the tires on my sedan. I had wondered if the pressure displayed were accurate on the unit. After topping all 4 tires, I checked the car display and the TPMS matched the unit’s tire pressure displayed. No more need to use the pressure gauge to check. I am truly confident that the pressure is accurate.The unit looks sleek like a little sports car. The bag is adequate enough to hold the unit. The extra bike/ball needle and other adapters were nice, but I wouldn’t put it in the bag along with the unit. It’ll disappear into the abyss of the trunk.My only problem is putting on and taking off the hose. When attaching the hose, I had to make sure the threads are alight right or air will seep out. When I am finished and about to take the hose off, that is when it gets tricky. I have to take a deep breath, focus and screw the hose off as fast as I can without losing too much air. There were a couple of times I thought about putting the unit back on to top off the tire again, but I never did. This problem is of no fault of the unit. It’s just the way tire valves are made.Overall, I like the unit very much. Both my vehicles need 35PSI, so I just set it to 35 and never have to look back. I am seriously thinking about getting a second one for the van. Then I don’t have to keep switching it from vehicle to vehicle. It’s good insurance to have if I ever have a flat. I will need it to get enough air into the tire to get to a gas/repair station.Thank you, EPAuto!

I bought this as safety precaution, and recently used it to pump up some soccer balls. It seems easy to use and has enough power for normal inflating jobs. Kind of hard determining the exact number of PSI to use for each thing you inflate, but otherwise a good tool to have around.

Never got the item. Do not purchase.

Fills up car tires from 0 to 32 psi in 7-8 minutes. Does not gets hot as other brands. The only thing getting hot was that air flow pipe.

I bought this for occasional tire maintenance. Thus far is has worked flawlessly. Once every week or so, I'll plug it in and air up the tires as needed, usually only a few psi needed. When I'm checking oil, coolant etc. this little compressor has become part of that process and I find it very useful.I have used it on two different cars and one full-size SUV. The instructions say it's not designed for use on bigger SUV's (and probably pickup trucks) but if you're only going from 32 up 35 psi, it works just fine. I would be cautious airing up a big tire that was quite low, this unit would likely melt.It was discount by about $12.00 when I purchased it, so the price point was very good.Keep in mind that it's a small unit and it won't last forever, but I highly recommend getting one.
