Slime 40051 Tire Inflator, Portable Car Air Compressor, Inflate Right automatic shut off, with Digital 99 psi Display, Long Hose and LED Light, 12V, 6 min inflation

This works great and saves a trip to the gas station to inflate your tires. You can inflate them at home or wherever you are right when you realize or are alerted by the car that the tires need to be filled. Super easy to use, just set the inflator to the right amount based on your tires, plug into the lighter in your car, attach to the tire, and turn it on to automatically fill up to the amount you set. Be careful when plugging it into your car, that's how a lot of these tire inflators end up needing to be replaced when a piece on the plug breaks. This is a good product, works well and should last years!

I bought an earlier version of this product several years ago and it works great. I recently bought a 2nd one for another car to carry in the trunk for emergencies. It works great like its older brother. The pump plugs into the 12v outlet, its cord is long enough to reach all 4 tires. It has a bright LED lamp that turns on when plugged in, no on/off switch. My units have a digital readout, you set the pump pressure, connect the pump to the tire nozzle, turn on the pump. If it runs more than 5 minutes, I stop it and let it rest for a couple minutes. Easy to use and keep stored away in the car trunk for when you need it. My original unit still works great.

I was so skeptical that an inexpensive tire inflator like this could inflate a tire on a 4,000 lb vehicle. Frankly, it was only after I borrowed one from a neighbor that I Saw the light. I immediately ordered this one and it does not disappoint. Pros and cons: the biggest pro for this is that it gets the job done. Even if you're tire is completely flat, you will get it inflated, as long as the tire can still hold air even temporarily. The cons aren't really a big deal considering the size and price of this device. Understand that you're not hooking up to an industrial compressor. These things are loud and can take up to 10 minutes to inflate your tire. At first, you might not even think it's working. Patience is key. After using this I wouldn't go anywhere without one of these in my car.

I use it to keep my tires at proper psi. You’ll be thankful if you or a friend developed a slow leak. It so convenient to have!!

Picture it, Sicily – 1922…. Okay, no. But I’ve a story for you nonetheless. Picture it, for real this time, lower Wisconsin –2025. It is dark and a thunderstorm is a-brewing as I leave on a long road trip. My car packed to the gills with suitcases, duffle bags, cases of food and drinks and travel snacks. It’s only 6am and it’s the July 4th holiday. Traffic so far is nice and light and I stopped to top off the gas tank shortly after leaving so I could make it as far as possible before my first rest stop of the trip.But as luck would have it, as I pull back out and back onto the interstate, the low tire pressure light comes on. OH NO. It’s dark, it’s a-storming, it’s way early in the morning, it’s a holiday, I’m along I-94 between Milwaukee and Chicago, and now I gotta figure out where I can check on and fill up my tire(s)?! DOH! Oh no no no. Ugh, please tell me no.Well, no.Because last year my friends posted about this portable tire inflator thingy and I treated myself to one for Christmas this year. And now I’m convinced every car needs one of these. I’m not even kidding. I just pulled back off the interstate at the next exit and found myself a well-lit gas station where I pulled up alongside a pump to be out of the rain. And it was an easy, breezy, beautiful experience because I also remembered – while packing the car full to the gills – to leave things like the jumper cables and air pump accessible in case of emergency. So there I was with my magical tire air and in bleep blop bloop, all tires were checked and filled and I was back on my way.Seriously. GET ONE OF THESE. For yourself, for your loved ones, for your kids. It lives in the car and is a serious additional piece of mind when traveling. If my friends' ears were ringing that day, it was because I was once again mentally thanking them profusely for posting about their tire inflator on social media, enticing me to buy one for myself.

I've always purchased Slime tire inflators and been happy with them previously. I thought this one was neat due to the auto-shutoff feature when the specified pressure is reached, so I don't have to babysit it while inflating.Today my tire pressure light came on, all four tires needed an additional 5psi or so. The first three tires were inflated successfully, took a couple minutes each with about a minute of rest time for the inflator in between while I transitioned to the next tire.On the fourth tire, just before the target psi was reached the inflator make a choking sound and stopped. After a moment a large volume of smoke started coming out of the inflator, accompanied by cracking and popping sounds. The outside of the inflator never got noticeably hot - just slightly warm to the touch. I set it in the middle of the driveway, concerned that it might catch on fire. After a few minutes the smoke stopped, but now the unit won't work and it smells terrible - I don't even want to put it back in the vehicle.I'm very disappointed at the way this inflator failed with the first instance of moderate use. A pump like this should have a thermal fuse so that it shuts down to cool off long before it gets to the point where it's smoking and destroyed. Other models i've previously owned have this feature.

Not to be rude but. I was always filling up the air or checking the air in my wife's, Mom's and mother law's tires.. I bought these these for them for Christmas gifts. Anyone can operate this air compressor. Best three gifts i bought. So easy they love them!

I love it. It arrived quickly.
