   I air down and then back up a few times a month for 4wheeling then add pressure in the rest when I tow as well. This thing has made it since 2018 since I bought it and still going strong.I’ve used it to inflate a small car tire that was flat and it will heat up a lot if your trying to inflate a tire from very low pressure. But it’s never once failed me and usually it’s just used to air back up from a 4wheeling trip.Cord for my truck is a bit short so I have to plug it in the front outlet for the front two tires then plug it in the backseat for the rear. But for a car that shouldn’t be a problem.Overall this thing owes me nothing since it’s lasted this long. Easily over 200 uses on since 2018 and as of today I had to use it due to the cold temps lowering the pressure and still works as new.Highly recommend for a cheap reliable tool to keep in your vehicle at all times. Also pretty accurate compared to my trucks readout and my hand held gauge. 0.5-1.0 psi off depending what one you believe more lol

   So far, I only used the pump to correct the pressure in two tires which were low by a few PSI, and it worked well, so I assume that it will be the same in future uses. The air pressure in my tires fluctuates with the seasonal temperature changes, so this pump will be used multiple times yearly to correct the tire pressure. The cord was just long enough to reach the front/rear tires on my 2018 Nissan Murano SUV. I hooked up the compressor according to the instructions and set the pressure to 33 PSI. The pump ran for maybe a minute then shut off automatically. The Murano beeps the horn one time when the correct tire pressure is hit during filling; the horn beeped right at 33PSI. My digital hand gauge confirmed the pressure reading, I was impressed. The pump appears to be well made, pumps air fast, is reasonably quiet, has a nice storage case and uses a blade type of fuse which is easy to change if needed. The name plates on each side, slide off and can be used as a tool to release air pressure. Low tire air pressure is a gas hog, so this pump will eventually pay for itself in gas savings and the tires will last longer.

   I bought this to maintain tire pressures for my car and my wife’s van. The compressor is fairly small, so it’s easy to store. Only a couple of issues — the cord/hose could be longer. They reach, but would be happy if either were a little longer. The bag it stores in is just barely big enough for it. I pumped all four of my tires and it wasn’t even warm. The manual mentions heat, but I’m guessing it would be an issue after long uses. Overall, this is a sturdy and well made compressor that I feel was a good value for cost.

   I bought one of these 3 years ago. When my girlfriend’s car compressor died I bought a second one for her.This is the best compressor I’ve ever had for carry-in-the-car use.Some people don’t like the screw-on hose connector. I think that’s a strong advantage, and it was the reason I bought the first one. It makes a solid connection that won’t slip off.As years go by and things get a little cruddy, I found it’s helpful to spray the inside of the threaded hose connection with some silicone lubricant. Don’t use regular oil because that will attract dust. The silicone lube makes it easier to thread the hose onto your tire valve.

   Works well for what it is but not tremendous quality. One of the EPauto nameplates fell off when I took it out of the box. Also, the bag is way too small. It’s nearly impossible to get the unit into the bag so be careful as the plastic handle snapped in half when I was trying to press it into the bag. The best part of the unit is the digital gauge and ability to preset your desired PSI and it fills up to the desired PSI fairly quickly.

   This product was replaced promptly upon learning of the product defect. It worked fine the first time….but not the 2nd time. When I brought this to the company’s attention they immediately sent me a replacement. My daughter uses their portable Tire Inflator and has had no problems with it whatsoever. Kudos to management and customer service for caring about their customers.

   I own quite a few cars & am pissed @ car makers not including spare tires. More then 2/3 of new cars do not come with a spare. Very often a simple thing like a flat tire can leave you stranded on the side of the road. Usually at night in the rain. Where available I’ve bought spares for my cars. In addition I have tire plugging kits in my cars. But plugging tire is useless if you have no way of refilling the tire with air. I also race cars & between on track sessions I’m either inflating/deflating tires. I’m always on the hunt for compact portable tire inflators. This works surprisingly well. I tested it by checking PSI in my tires. the gauge was accurate compared to my gauge. I deflated 2 of my tires to 15psi. Thisunit had same reading as my gauge.Then set this compressor to 41psi. The compressor stopped @ 41psi. I checked with my gauge-confirmed 41psi. Each tire took around 8 minutes to inflate from 15psi to 41psi. The compressor is very quiet & stays in place not walking all over place. Only negative is the 12volt cord is too short. If my vehicle did not have a 12volt outlet in rear I would not have been able to inflate the rear tires. If you have a van or larger vehicle & no 12volt power outlet in rear I’d suggest passing on this. No matter how good this compressor is but you can’t reach the tire-then it’s useless. Other then that, works as expected. Good compact compressor.
