Is This A Decent Air Compressor?

[WoodGlue]

In your best estimation, is this a halfway decent air compressor for my truck and for my TT (14" wheels)

Goodyear i7000 Direct Drive A/C

I'd just be using it to top off the truck tires and TT tires in case of a low reading.

Thanks,

What is the duty cycle? Specs do not say? For that price and "from walmart" you are getting what you pay for. Don't like the cigarette plug then cut it off and add your own - and + terminals along with an inline fuse.

The PSI is 150 iirc.

It says it will inflate a 14" tire in 2:30.

Should be good enough for me to have along just in case my tires need airing, right?

Thanks RoyB!

Tires require volume and PSI. Buy a compressor that will deliver high PSI and CFM. Unless you want to spend all day inflating a tire.

Unless you are parked in a remote area without any 120 volt supply a 12 volt is not recommended.

I use the MV50 Tankless 12VDC air compressor (AMAZON) which is a very small footprint and airs up both my truck and trailer tires as needed. Our tankless air compressor comes in a handy carry case and fits under my rear seat in my truck. The tankless air compressor also being slow to bring up high pressures make for an excellent air compressor to do my blow out of water lines when freezing weather comes up in a hurry. The blow-method works great for us in our off-road camper when needed. Can winterize the whole system is 5 minutes or so and return back to normal use the next day by just refilling the fresh water tank.

I'd have gone with a 120v but I need the flexibility of a 12v.

Why wouldn't you power it through a cigarette or power center? Is that unsafe?

I do not see where the description or specs indicate maximum pressure.

I would never buy one that powers through a cig lighter or power port. If you are going 12v get one that clips to your battery posts.

I carry a generator with me every trip and use a pancake style 110v.

In my estimation it is only half-way decent. 12v compressors sans tanks take forever. I'd go for a 120v unit with a tank.
