Decision On Air Compressor

Well after a couple of days of intensive research, and a couple of weeks just looking.

I have decided on the Kobalt air compressor

Seems to be the best bang for the $ at this stage. Finding consistent and good reviews on air compressors sure was fun. One site loves it, another site thinks it's crap. It's another crap-shoot. Time will tell.

Looks like the Kobalt will do the job for MH tires. We'll see how it does on the short and long term.

Considered many air compressors, availability, customer service, etc.
Porter Cable was running second. The 135, not the 150. Could not locate the 135 in stock in any close by stores. It rated better everywhere over the 150.

What led to the upcoming purchase, is I don't trust anyone to remove and reinstall my tpms. So, I'll take my time, air up the tires and remove and install tpms myself.

I'll let ya'll know how the Kobalt does the job!

I bought this very same model just a couple of days ago. I almost bought the Sears Pancake model with the 150psi, but I sat waiting for the girl to help me for about 15 minutes while she told stories with another customer about their families in Italy. I eventually walked out of the store and went to Lowes. I'm glad I did as I found this compressor with the 155 psi rating. I've only used it to put air in the bike tires so far but it appears the motor kicks on when the tank drops to about 145 psi. So getting the RV tires up to 110 psi may be a slow process, but it will get the job done. I have a larger stand up model compressor too, but it doesn't fit in a basement compartment so that's why I added this one to the collection.
