Pluses: fast inflation times up to 40 lbs/sq.in.; circuit breaker with switch, carrying case; (3) inflation attachments; continuous duty-cycle allowed when pressure is 40 lbs/sq.in; and long inflation hose;
Minuses: the tire inflation rate decreases substantially above 40 lbs; placement of the on/off switch under the fixed hose coupler (which becomes very hot); it uses more battery power than a compressor I used previously; and it is larger and heavier than other battery-powered compressors on the market.
Whenever you compress air, the main by-product is heat--with small compressors, noise seems to be a close second by-product. This compressor is relatively high-capacity for a 12-volt DC model and it generates much heat. Since the carrying handle also functions as a heat shield for the compressed air outlet tube, it can get very hot to the touch during extended runs. So, I recommend you keep a rag close by to wrap around the heat shield/handle any time you need to move it around after more than a few minutes of service. Likewise, wait before you de-couple the flexible length of hose--this hose fitting also gets quite hot. This Smittybilt model runs somewhat quieter than the 2.3 cu.ft./min Q-Industries compressor that I used to use, and I don't have to remove the intake filter before storing it in the carry case like I did for the "Q".
Another positive: the compressor flexible hose inline pressure gauge appears to measure within a pound, maybe two, of my standalone Viair dial gauge.
Initial experience: My tires are 275/65-18R metric (32.1x10.8-18 Standard); the maximum inflation pressure is 80 lbs/sq.in. Inflation times between my tires was not consistent between them due to poor inflation nozzle sealing with valve stems on two of the four tires. Here's my data from three different inflation events:
1) 18-19 lbs up to 45 lbs: 2 min to 2 min 45 seconds per tire (9 min 30 seconds total running time);
2) 18-19 lbs up to 66-68 lbs: 6 min to 6 min 30 seconds per tire (25 minutes total running time);
3) 18-19 lbs up to 72 lbs: ~26 minutes;
Other observations: during the longer compressor running times, the circuit breaker never activated. That stands in contrast to my old Q-Industries compressor, which could inflate all (4) tires from 16-18 lbs to 55 lbs each in about 20 minutes total, but the compressor used to overheat periodically (which is why I eventually replaced the fuse with a circuit breaker). If you intend to inflate all (4) tires, then make sure you run the vehicle engine per the owner's manual recommendation. Inflating all (4) during one of the above events drained my truck battery so much that it could not turn the starter; admittedly, I had operated the compressor on truck battery power only during the previous day, but then I failed to drive long/far-enough to recharge it completely afterwards.
A couple of quick notes to new buyers.
1 - If possible, keep your vehicle running. It'll provide a lot more power for the pump to draw off of, and will work much better (and cooler)
2 - Be CAREFUL after it's been running for a bit. It gets hot enough to burn you if you're not careful.
3 - Turn the pump on BEFORE connecting it to your tire. Says it right there in the manual, and takes stress off the pump when connecting it.
4 - We were able to fill up 6 and a half 35" tires back to back (not turning it off) before it tripped the overheat protection. It took about 10 minutes for it too cool down enough to resume, but it was impressive considering how long it was running.
5 - There are a number of pumps that are identical to this, but are branded differently. One such pump (won't mention the name, but it's red) is both less expensive, and has a uncoiled/straight hose rather than the coiled hose which comes with the smittybilt. I'd opt for that one instead, as the hose is just easier to manage. Regardless, both are great pumps.
It's a fantastic pump. I've had a previous one for a couple of years, and recently gifted it to my daughter for her own off-road rig.
