I’ve been looking for an air inflator for quite awhile. Especially since all the gas stations in my area are charging for air. I finally decided to trust the B&D brand name and I am not disappointed. Even though the hoses are short, it actually is more convenient for storage. So I think that is not a negative as in other reviews. The Unit is portable with a handle so dragging around the compressor instead of a long hose is arguably in my opinion, not a handicap.

Plus I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a cord that optionally operates from the cigerette lighter (DC), as well on AC which is what I preferred. But it’s nice to have the option. The DC cord stows nicely in the Unit along with all the accessories. And yes it’s noisy…and yes it takes a little longer to inflate a tire, but so what. For the limited time you drag the thing out to refill a tire, the important thing is that it does what it’s suppose to do. The automatic shut off is also a nice feature. Although the 40 something bucks I spent was more than I wanted to spend on a tire inflator, I thought it was the best value on the market.
