Nice home compressor

This was purchased to replace the lighter socket compressor I had for years that was really not very useful to inflate bicycle tires and inflatable toys and balls for my kids. Every time I worried about running down my car battery if the car was not running just to inflate to avoid hand pumps.

Thus, I searched for a compressor I could plug into an electrical socket. This product got good reviews and finding Amazon had the best price I purchased it, but I note that they lowered the price and no longer have the price guarantee offered in the past.

I did compare this compressor with one sold by Sears that is also branded under other names and that compressor did not get good reviews.

Nevertheless, after having this compressor for several months and putting it to use, so far it has not failed and operates nicely. The gauge is fairly accurate as I used it to fill our bicycle tires and then measured the pressure with a gauge.

While some reviewers complained these type compressors are noisy, not even the lighter socket one I have, that this one replaces, is quiet. Any type of compressor, whether it is for airbrushing or power tools is not quiet.

This is a useful tool and useful to have.
