Everything You've ever needed in a portable Air Compressor :-) small, lightweight and all the bells & whistles you can ask for. A 12 inch cord, a sports needle for balloons, balls, and outdoor equipment, a heavy brass nozzle and last but not least programmable autostop digital pressure display!!

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to try The EverStart Maxx 120 PSI 12 V Portable Air Compressor with Auto Stop and Backlit LCD. This is a must have for all parents who have kids with bikes. This product is so easy to use. It's lightweight and so convenient. We planned on taking the kids on a bike ride so we checked all the tires the night before and it's a good thing we had The EverStart Maxx 120 PSI 12 V Portable Air Compressor 2 of the bikes had low tire pressure. To tell the truth we haven't gone for a bike ride in a few years. So we quickly used The EverStart Maxx 120 PSI 12 V Portable Air Compressor on both tires and it worked marvelously. I absolutely recommend this product for all adults who have multiple bikes in their garage like I do.

Overall, solid little inflator. No assembly required…just open box and use it.This comes with a 12 foot/12 volt power plug for a vehicle which makes this convenient for topping off your tires at any side. I used this to top off the my vehicles rear tire to get the light on my dash to go off. I’ll also be packing this on any trips we go on in the summer to inflate rafts/tubes. It also came with a needle to fill balls. The digital gauge seems to be accurate enough to trust too.

EverStart Maxx 120 PSI 12 V Portable Air Compressor with AutoStop and Backlit LCD is the perfect portable air compressor to have for all our tire needs! This inflator is handy for our atv and 4-wheeler tires that are always losing air. It is so easy to use, just connect to the tire, select your desired air pressure that you need then squeeze the trigger and it adds the picked amount of air. It easily plugs into the 12V outlets and starts easy. It has a digital readout that is easy to read, all the hoses needed are included and also includes a sports nozzle for inflating basketballs, footballs, etc. There is also a built in front facing LED light to shine light onto the project. It is made of impact resistant polymer for the outer shell and is sturdy and well made. The cables and brass tip nozzle is compatible with most tires. It is perfect for storing in your vehicle for those emergencies. I highly recommend the EverStart Maxx 120 PSI 12 V Portable Air Compressor with AutoStop and Backlit LCD for keeping your tires at the right air pressure!

Handy item to have around in your car when you need to air up a tire when it’s slightly low. Or when you have a bike tire or something that you need to inflate when your out and about. Great tool to have when camping or at the beach. It will quickly air up small items like a bike tire or and inflatable. Car tires it does take a bit longer and is slower but it will do the job. As I always say, better to have something rather than nothing at all.

Overall, good portable inflator. Ready to use right out of the box. It comes with a 12 foot power cord and a car electrical plug. I used this to check my car tires and fill up my trailer tires. The digital gauge seems work okay too. I have a 12 volt Portable Air Compressor in every car and I use them about 5 times a year. Better and cheaper than calling a tow truck.

I’ve only ever struggled with the air pumps at a gas station to fill my tires when the weather gets cold. This seemed like a nice alternative I could use in my garage when the pressure light comes on. Reading the instructions, I was a little disappointed. There is no regular wall connection available with this unit, so it must be connected to a vehicle. This unit can only run for 10 minutes at a time, after that it needs to be allowed a 30 minute cool down time. I tested this out and gave my tires a top up. Thankfully, my tires were only about 3 psi off the mark. By the third tire I did notice some heat coming from the unit. It was annoying hooking up the 12 V connection in my car, then having to turn on the accessory and thread the cord around the door to reach the tires all while listening to the car ding at me because I couldn’t close the door due to the cord. I suppose in other conditions you could put it through the window and close it most of the way to protect any passengers against the elements/maintain cabin temperature, but you may find that you run out of slack on the cord. The cord was already at its limits by going through the center console of my car to the outside and down below the door. Seems to me it would more difficult to reach on a larger vehicle. The area light is a useless little spot of light similar to a novelty flashlight keychain you’d get from a vending machine. The connector rubs hard against the rubber hose making it very difficult to tighten without spinning the whole hose and unit around. The unit weighs nothing, so it easily flops over from the tension on the hose. This unit may be useful for occasional top ups or inflating sports equipment, but if you were really dealing with a low tire pressure situation while you’re out and about, you are still probably better off stopping at a gas station (or investing in a hardier unit).

I was disappointed with the quality of this inflator. The biggest problem is the lack of a quick-connect on the air hose. The inflator has a threaded connection which is a little awkward and time-consuming to use. Another quality issue is that the "storage compartment" for the included needle adaptor is undersized. The needle adaptor is too long for the opening. Finally, there is no cover for the cord storage on the bottom of the inflator, so the cord will not stay in place. The inflator was able to fill my car tires, and the cord was long enough to easily reach all the tires, so it got the job done. As I was filling the tire, when I released the trigger, the device displayed the tire pressure without having to disconnect. That is a nice feature to have.

This tire inflator unfortunately did not work well for me. I tried this on two different vehicles the product would randomly turn itself off and or there was no way to have the trigger set such that it would automatically inflate to a certain level. Checking the other reviews maybe I just got a bad model so my recommendation to anyone purchasing this part is to put it through its paces as soon as you get the product. If you experience anything similar to what I did take it back to the store and exchange it for another one. I do believe if you got a decent model this is a nice tool to keep in the vehicle for emergencies.

Even on clearance for $10 it's not worth the money. Don't waste your time. You could inflate a tire eventually. Id prefer not to sit on the side of a road for 20 minutes trying though. Spend a little more and don't die because a 17 year old was in Tik Tok while driving and it was taking 45 minutes to reinflate a tire.
