Does the engine need to be running to operate the compressor?
The compressor needs a constant 13.8 Volts for optimal performance, and that is only possible with the engine running.
What is duty-cycle?
It’s the maximum continuous run time of the compressor, expressed in % of 1 hour.
Is a direct-drive motor better than a gear-drive motor?
Direct-drive motors deliver power straight to the piston rod, it is quiet and reliable. Gear-driven motors have an extra layer of friction, creating a louder system that’s prone to rapid performance decline due to deteriorating gear teeth.

This air compressor is a great product. It is probably better than what you may need. But as the saying goes, it never hurts to buy something better than what you need. You will never regret buying quality.
I keep this air compressor in the trunk of my Honda Accord. I chose this model because it has alligator clips that connect directly to the battery rather than the cigarette lighter socket. Now, my Honda has small tires, 205s. I suspect the smaller models, the kind that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter socket, will be powerful enough to inflate my tires. But I chose this model because I also have a sport-utility that has bigger tires. This air compressor is powerful enough to inflate large tires with ease. To get this level of performance, it is necessary for the compressor to have a powerful motor. This powerful motor draws a lot of current. More current than the typical lighter socket can provide. Enough to blow the fuse on a typical lighter socket. That is why the more power air compressors connect directly to the car battery with alligator clips.
Be careful when connecting this air compressor to your battery. Concentrate on the task. You do not want to mix up the polarity. Also, if your car has a small displacement four cylinder engine, your battery will be pretty wimpy. So keep your engine running while you operate the compressor, otherwise you might run down your small battery. All of this should tell you that this air compressor is not for everybody. These types of air compressors, the ones that connect directly to the battery terminals, are for those who know something about cars and batteries. You do not want to mix up the polarity when connecting. If you know nothing about cars, this compressor is not for you. In that case, get a smaller compressor that plugs to the cigarette lighter socket because you cannot mistake the polarity that way. It will be safer for somebody who is not a car person. But know that your socket driven air compressor is not going to inflate your tires as fast and as easily as this unit. There is always a trade off.
Speaking of trade offs, I chose this model over a competing model that has a coiled hose. This unit comes with an uncoiled hose. It is more flexible than the type that comes coiled like a spring. This unit, with its uncoiled air hose, is harder to store but it is easier to use during a stressful emergency situation. Yes, you will have to find a way to pack the hose neatly. But to me, it is better to put up with hassle while you're at your driveway packing the car rather than at the side of the road with a flat tire. So while the coiled variety packs easily and neatly, that coiled hose will fight you when you want to stretch it from the compressor to your tire. And that will happen at the most inconvenient time at the worst location. A model with a coiled hose is neater and packs better, so it is not necessarily a deal breaker. You just have to know your own situation. If you have a small vehicle and are short on space, sure, get a model with a springy, coiled hose. Just know the trade offs, because that springy coil will be harder for you when it comes time to actually use the compressor.
This unit comes in a nice box, but it does not come with a case. That should not be a deal breaker because it is easy to buy a cheap bag. Either keep it in its own box in your trunk or buy a small kit bag. I recommend that you keep all of the parts in one place because you do not want to be looking for parts during an emergency. Do what you can now to make sure that you do not add to your stress level during a road emergency.
Highly recommended. This is an excellent air compressor for those who know cars. The unit feels like it is of good quality and the performance is very good. The air hose is easy to use. The alligator clips are sturdy enough, though I would want them sturdier.
I needed to top up our RV tires, the rears were in the 70's but needed to go to 85psi. The front tires were both at 60, and needed to go to 65psi. Hooked this up, started the engine and turned on the compressor. After less than a minute the air pressure in the tires began climbing. Did all 6 tires on the RV in less than 20 minutes, and that was letting it cool for 2 minutes before going to the next tire, it gets very hot. This is initial impressions only, but the compressor easily brought our RV tires to the recommended pressure. I'll update as I use this more, as this was the first test and doesn't say anything about how well it'll last or not.
Impressions: Materials are high quality. This doesn't feel cheap, like many 12v compressors. The pressure gauge matches my handheld pressure gauge exactly, that's a first. The air hose is a soft and flexible rubber, definitely higher quality than others I've used. The power cord is heavy gauge and did not warm up under load, nice! The clips (it connects to your battery, not a 12v socket) are strong and open wide enough to clamp on easily. The body of the compressor is heavy, feels solid and when it runs it is much quieter than other compressors we've used. It is also stable when running, it just sits there, and the pressure gauge needle is stable giving a clear view. Other compressors we've used vibrated all over the place unless I held it in place, the pressure gauge vibrated as well so you couldn't really tell what it was reading. This compressor has none of that. The power cord has a cord management tie, helps to keep it organized and a nice touch. There is nothing for the air hose however, except for the disposable twist ties that came with it, not so great. The air hose connects by twisting on, this makes a very secure connection without leaks but it is a little slower to take off and loses some air while you're trying to unscrew it. That's a minor nitpick only. All in all, I'm very impressed with this.
As positive as it appears so far, I've only had it this one weekend so far. It is well made, works great but I have no idea how well it will hold up over time. I'll update as it either dies a sad death or proves itself reliable. Stay Tuned.
Top reviews from other countries
Compré el 88P pues llega a 120 PSI. Otros tienen solo hasta 60 PSI y si bien es suficiente para un auto, muchas llantas de refacción y casi cualquier bicicleta requieren bastante más alto que eso. La refacción de mi auto es a 60 PSI y mi bicicleta es a 80 PSI, y eso que es una bici regular, las especializadas requieren bastante más. Un inconveniente menor pero necesario, es que para la potencia de un compresor de 120 PSI todos son ya de caimanes, pues jala 20 A y los autos suelen aguantar solo 15 A por el encendedor. Como sea, conectado a la batería es más confiable y me siento mas seguro, solo toma un paso más.
En general muy satisfecho, el estuche para cargarlo igual está muy resistente y todo se nota que durará muchos años.
After opening I was correct about that, the majority of the pump and all the working parts were constructed with metal, unit feels solid and quality built. Compact design for easy storage in your vehicle or trailer with very generous length of hose and power cables for reaching tires.
Power cord comes with alligator clips to attach directly to vehicle battery, because of the amp draw cigarette plug in would not be a good option either blowing the fuse or melting electrical wires in car and possibly causing a fire. Cord has its own replaceable fuse for safety.
You can read the details in product description for all the specs and accessories this compressor comes with.
The ONE DIFFERENCE THAT I NOTICED COMPARED TO OTHERS REVIEWS IS THE COMPRESSOR DOES COME WITH A STORAGE BAG!! Once again this DOES COME WITH A STORAGE BAG.
It makes short work of inflating tires and is much quieter than most other cheap compressors I have used in the past. I only just started using the item and can not speak about long life but just from the build quality and few uses I have used it I can tell if not abused this compressor will last you years and years with reliable inflating.
Only small complaint would be, although it comes with a store away bag, as others have mentioned it is a bit small making packing it up a bit challenging but doable.
It is definitely worth the extra bit of money for the quality of the item and probably will be cheaper in the long run when buying replacement cheap compressors over and over. I would recommend anyone looking for a compressor to keep in their vehicle or RV to purchase this one or one of the other VIAIR products.
I honestly couldn't estimate how many hundreds of hours of relentless pumping it did over the years. It worked flawlessly in the heat, sand, dust, mud, driving rain, snow and ice, and it survived living in the back of various 110 Defenders for nearly two decades.
Anyway it eventually died and I replaced it with a cheap standard domestic type one from by a known brand which was basically tat. I got 2 months use out of it tending to both my wife's car and mine (which has a slow puncture due to a slightly bent rim). It was slow, insanely loud and broke after maybe 10-15 uses.
I treated myself to a new Viair compressor as a replacement. It's more or less the same as the one I had before but a newer model. It's quieter, seems quicker and it's shiny! I expect it to last a similar length of time. If you are considering buying a home compressor - get a Viair. They really are worth the bit extra you pay for a quality product.
I have added a quick connect to the screw on nozzle that allows me to do all 4 tires quick without having to worry about cross threading.
The bag provided is bit too small and is likely to bend the air hose into a bad acute angle, so I recommend that you get our own larger bag to store the compressor
