## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the power cord, how long is the filler?**
A: The cord is about 9 ft, and the filler is about 2 1/2 feet.

**Q: sometimes my tire pressure increases by itself when I go on a long rides so my question is if i need 33psi but my tires have 35 so how i can take out**
A: Tire pressure increases with heat - and tires heat up when rolling. 33 psi is a cold tire pressure - only check tire pressure when the vehicle hasn't been driven for several hours. 35 psi is not high pressure - you should be more concerned with your driving instead of two psi increase in your tire pressure.

**Q: Does this have a wall outlet plug also?**
A: It requires 12v DC 10 AMP from your vehicle, but not home AC outlet. Do not suggest to use any AC to DC converts.

**Q: How do you turn on the flash light. I just received my unit, which has a yellow power switch, not the black one that has 3 positions?**
A: The printed instructions have a numbered diagram...#5 is the Flashlight/Power Switch. When plugged-in, the light should come on and stay on when the Power Switch is on.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tough Little Compressor
*by J***R on June 15, 2025*

Good build quality and easy to use. Not much more a person could ask from a product. It's a little slow, but it is a small compressor, so that was to be expected--but it runs solid and does what it's meant to do. I aired up four tires with it right after I got it. It did get a little warm after the second tire, but running it without it hooked up to a tire, cooled it off again pretty quickly.Also, the little auto-set feature worked as advertised, but it was a little fiddly to setup, which found me just doing it manually. But which was no hassle. I just hooked it up, kept my eye on its little pressure-readout and turned it off once the tire reached pressure. Easy-peasy. If you're looking for a small, tire-airing-up gadget to keep in your car's trunk, you can do a lot worse than springing for this little gadget. I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for all drivers
*by D***T on May 28, 2025*

This is the second one I've owned. After several years, the first one still worked, but due to lack of care on my end the display screen was stuck on a number and wouldn't register any longer. I immediately bought the same one because it has been a great purchase. If you've ever gone from gas station to gas station searching for an air pump that isn't broken and then hoping you have enough quarters in your cup holder to put air in your tires, do yourself a favor and get one of these. You'll never have to search for a working pump or change again. The included attachments also allow for you to fill other items with air, like bike tires and balls.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paid for itself dozens of times over.
*by B***Y on September 14, 2024*

Quick review for a product that vastly exceeded expectations.This was my 3rd replacement for cheap tire inflators that failed just a few uses. I had a set of rims that never sealed properly despite being checked and serviced on multiple occasions by different shops, even with new tires mounted. Every wheel would eventually develop a slow leak and I was using an inflator enough to be embarrassed about it.The 3 inflators prior to this purchase failed in just a few uses each. Whether it was the compressor, power cable, or some other electrical issue, nothing around the $20-30 price was going survived what I would even call light use. (Shoutout to Slime products for being some of the most unreliable hardware/junk I've ever used!)I was getting rid of the car and its awful rims, so I really didn't want to spend much on quality. This was my last try before the nuclear option of dropping $100+ on some sort of battery charger/tire inflator combo or behemoth from Milwaukee that I would never use. So I did some very light research and after seeing a few decent reviews, settled on this thing for the same price, 2 years ago.Since then, this solid little unit has done everything I've ever asked of it, and I've asked a lot. It has never failed to air up even a full set of 4 perfectly average, 17" 225/50 tires, from fully flat to overinflated (slow leaks!). Even after pumping up a full set of tires from low pressures, I don't think I ever triggered the overheat protection of the unit. The digital pressure gauge and cutoff feature of the unit are pretty accurate when checked with a manual gauge; I never underinflated a tire in relation to my desired PSI.It's not fast. I don't think you can get --or should want-- fast at this price point, but it is reliable. EPAuto says not to use it on truck tires; I think you probably could if you had to, but singles only, with lots of breaks.They don't seem to have wasted much money on crappy cases that conceal tiny compressors like others at this range, so it doesn't look cool. Oh well, never going to impress anybody airing tires anyway.It has a spotlight, which has come in handy more often than I expected.My biggest knock against the EPAuto is the screw-on valve connector, which can be a pain to use. I always felt like I was losing a pound or two of air while scrambling to disconnect hose quickly, but protip: a little brass schrader quick-connect chuck for $5-10 her on Amazon and that problem is solved. (Or overinflate by a pound or two and stop whining)It comes in a decent little soft carrying case, and it has storage slots for coiling the power cord and air hose. It's crazy, but it almost seems like they cared about how this product might actually be used more than once.It would make a nice little emergency tool for the trunk, even if you own more expensive compressors. I rarely give reviews, but good products at inexpensive prices deserve it.
