Help me decide on a 110 volt tire inflator
looking for an efficient, quiet, and reasonable cost ($50.00) or less 110 volt tire inflator. I forgot to mention, I prefer one that does not dance all over the floor when cycling.

I bought THIS QUIET COMPRESSOR over 10 years ago to use for my conversion air bags charging, so I did not have to run the "rocket" Detroit for long minutes before rolling.
When mounted inside motorhome basement, you could stand outside the compartment and not hear it in normal campground noise.
I liked it so much, that I keep it after the coach sale.
It is oil-less, what I like for tire inflation and the draw is so small, that it will run even on Ford factory 350W inverter.
It takes couple minutes to pump the pressure, but for car tire addition the tank gives enough supply, so since the compressor is so light, I just carry it to the car unplug and the tank has enough pressure for normal car addition.
For truck tires, I just use self-holding chuck, set the needed pressure on regulator and go to other tasks when compressor is working.
Also very handy for small jobs with finishing nailer or stapler.
In the mean time I bought similar looking compressor from Harbor Freight. That thing needed like 10 minutes to build the pressure and broke barely used.
