 I'll keep it but... February 15, 2007

I used the compressor to add air to 4 tires, approx. 5-7 psi per tire and it worked fine, didn't take too long. However, there are 2 problems with the device - 1. After adding air to 2 tires the rubber inside the nozzle was already ripping and becoming unattached so that it would get in the way when trying to connect it to the valve stem, after 4 tires it was very ripped up. 2. The compressor vibrates so much that you can't put it onthe ground while running or it falls over. I guess that's the price you pay for the light weight of the compressor. While the rubber seal is a concern, it's not enough for me to return the compressor because it did work. I only hope the seal doesn't get so bad that the nozzle won't keep a good connection with the valve stem.

The product is very nice. It blows up a tire within just a few minutes. The only bad thing is the cord that goes from the cigarette lighter to the tire isn't quite lone enough. It is great for cars, but it won't reach my back tires on my truck.
 Has an actual amperage requirement of 15A, not only a regular 12V outlet would be sufficient.. July 22, 2008

I just got this tire inflator and when I went down to the garage to pump up the tires, I was disappointed to see that this device actually has an amperage requirement to work properly! I have two relatively new Hondas(08 Pilot and 06 Civic) and neither of them seem to comply with this device. Their power outlets are rated 10A, whereas this device needs a 15A minimum. So actually 12V is not the only requirement for this compressor to work, it needs to be coupled with proper amperage.
I contacted the manufacturer(Slime) and the customer representative responded to me saying that the device might work(or blows the car's fuse) but there is no guarantee that it would work with less than 15A. So basically I ended up in a "try at your own risk" situation having bought this inflator.
I am returning this item sooner. I would also suggest Amazon.com to put in more detailed product information for this item. I wouldn't have bought this item in the first place if the amperage requirement was listed here.
 Great little gadget! August 5, 2007

This compressor works like a charm! I use it to keep my car tires inflated to their appropriate level. My step-daughter used it to inflate her bicycle tires and really liked it! If you have tires that may need to be pumped up - get one of these - it works!!
Good at the price December 18, 2007

Pro - quickly filled a tire from 10 psi to 30. (< 3 minutes)
Con - light weight requires you to hold the compressor so it doesn't bounce around or flip over. Also, for it's size it's pretty loud.
Overall- worked well, you just have to hold it down on a flat surface during the entire fill time.
