 Great small compressor August 21, 2010

I bought this compressor after my foot pump broke which cost me close to $15. I have only used it three times. Once to top off my motorcycle tires, once to top off one car tire and once to fill my spare to replace the tire that I had topped off previously. It's simple to use, small and light weight. I was surprised based on the reviews how fast it filled the spare, which took about 5min from completely flat to about 30lbs. I think that's pretty good! It is noisy which is the reason I gave it five stars, but it did not get really hot during any of it's uses. Even after the 5 minute use it was only slightly warm.
 Very convenient! August 1, 2010

I don't often give a positive review but I have to say I've never had a more convenient tire pump. It's so nice not to have to work around the power cord and it holds a charge for a good while, I've inflated my tires several times and it still seems to have a good charge. You do need to read the manual, it has to be charged in the correct manner but it's easy follow the steps. It also has generous storage areas to keep all the chargers, hose, and accessories, others I've used have storage areas so small that it's tough to get all the stuff in the compartment. My only complaint is that it's a bit tough to remove it from the valve stem when disconnecting but that seems to be getting better as I used it (it's wearing in) and it's very minor issue. I'll never go back to the pumps that need to be powered either from the car or the house to be used.
functional, compact pump, but loud, with non-usable gauge July 6, 2010

A compact rechargeable inflator that uses a lead-acid battery. Noisy but powerful, it has handy storage for its components, but a useless pressure gauge.
After my last 12V-DC inflator blew the fuses on my Civic, I decided it was time for a tire pump that didn't depend on the car for power. This unit inflates my Civic tires about 2-3 times as fast as the old 12V.
It's not as loud as the car engine and the old pump were (running at the same time), but all the noise is from one point, so it seems louder to my ears. It vibrates enough to "walk" a little while running on the concrete floor.
The unit has storage panels front and back that store all of the cables/accessories that come with it, and a short instruction leaflet. The in-built gauge is useless. It approximates the correct pressure with the unit off (but not clearly enough to read a specific number). But turn the unit on, and the indicated PSI instantly jumps to 40psi and stays there.
I have to check the pressure before and after with my Accutire Digital Tire Gauge. An accurate built-in digital pressure readout would have been outstanding. The flip-tab on the hose is kind of stiff for the first few uses, I ended up letting a bunch of air out of my tires in the process of getting it locked into place.
The product's lead-acid battery has the advantage of no "memory effect", meaning charging the battery w/o discharging it fully doesn't shorten its life (like a Ni-Cad), but the drawback is that much like your car battery, a lead-acid must be kept topped off, and if you allow a lead-acid to drain completely, it fails and is no longer chargable. A Lithium-Ion would have been nice instead, since they are non-toxic (no special disposal needed) and are not harmed by being fully discharged.
I'm unclear on the choice of "Slime" as a brand-name, but it IS memorable, and the product is good. And it sure beats using a filthy public air pump at a gas station (and it's always freezing, searing hot, or raining when you need to do this), if you can even find one that's functioning.
This inflator could be quieter, use a Li-ion battery, and have a usable pressure gauge, but it gets the job done in a compact no-fuss package. Recommended.
Slime Compressor works great. June 26, 2010
L. R. Bird (FL USA)
It arrived packaged well, no issues. I charged it up and it has worked fine to inflate tires, baloons so far. Very portable. I have owned it for a month or so with no issues. I check my tires more often because it is so easy to use. I also have a compressor with a 50 foot hose that I use far less now.
Great little compressor April 14, 2010
B. Bonta
So far the compressor has worked perfectly. I have an RV that has air-ride suspension and this cordless compressor airs up those connections just fine.
