Viair 00088 88P Portable Air Compressor

great build

Good One.. gauge should have been better

The air inflator is very fast. It is quite compact for the speed it achieves and comes with its own carry bag. It’s also very easy to use - attach to the battery terminal and it’s long enough to move around the whole car. Speed and compact size are the best features. However, it’s gets a bit hot if you use for all tyres together. Now let’s come to challenges - since the gauge is on the compressor it gives quite an inaccurate reading vs the actual tyre pressure. So while filling air there’s no way to check the actual pressure. Guess we need a separate gauge to check the tyre pressure.

The pump is great low noise and vibrstion, build qulity is great, but the psi drops while unscrewing the hose from the valve. So have to get a gauge to conform the final psi after filling air.

I first bought a Viair compressor in 2002 or 3 (I think) Since then I used it extensively off roading in the UK, Europe and 3 or 4 trips a year round the the Sahara and further south until 2014. Since my trips to the desert were curtailed due to the Libyan civil war and general associated security risks, I have used it every couple of weeks to top up my tyres until it finally died a couple of months ago. 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.

You know, I've cheaped out on a lot of things in the past. Everyday items, food and even clothing. But this is one instance where I decided not to do that. I decided to go for broke. I did my research and was looking for some non fancy air pump. All I wanted it to do was pump air into my car tires, and have a gauge to tell me when to stop (maybe). So I found this. This was definitely one of the least fancy pumps I found. Seriously, it does nothing other than pump air. But boy am I happy with it. It pumps up my tires from flat in less that 3 minutes. You start your car, plug in the red than black terminals into your battery, screw in the air valve (yes it's a screw in so you can literally screw it in and leave it while it pumps, it is very secure) and turn the baby on and it'll go. The gauge is accurate. It is an analog so obviously it has the trappings and inaccuracies of an analog but it definitely gets the right pressure figures for you. But while you're pumping, the case obviously is showing a different pressure (keep that in mind) as the pump is forcing air into the wheels. All in all, this pump is amazing. It's a uni-tasker but it does the only tasks it needs to do exceptionally well. I have friends with the fancy 40$-140$ starter/pump/battery/radio/vibrator type deals and they just don't hold up to this thing. If you're in need of an air pump, I definitely recommend this specific pump. Some context, I got this because I had a slow rim leak I couldn't really tend to. The tire would lose 5-10 PSI every two weeks. Definitely was a tire mounting issue. Regardless, I ordered this pump to remedy that. I just made it a habit to pump my tires once every week or so to maintain optimum pressure. That's what this was for. I have other occasions where I've helped others on the road with this. Big car or small car it does the trick. Although I do recommend you read through the specifications for this pump before buying it for your massive vehicles. There are restrictions.

Compact and sturdy compressor..Fast inflation with enough length of hose and power cable.Thanks
