I bought this because i needed to fill RV tires at 95 psi. I ordered through Amazon (thankfully). Charged up for 1 1/2 days according to directions. When filling first tire I noticed the psi was not going up. So I tried it out on my car tire at 35 psi. Not only did it not work but it started smoking. It could just be the one I ordered but not wanting to take any chances I just returned it for my money back. In the end I just went to Lowes and bought a Black and Decker air compressor for $50 rated at 150 psi and it works great. It's not cordless but it plugs onto wall outlet or cigarette lighter. If you buy the Black and Decker remember to have an extension cord handy as the wall cable is 1ft long (no joke). Hope this helps the next person!

Product looked great when it arrived but possibly used. Anyway after following the directions to fully charge the battery it seemed to be what I needed. Unfortunately the power inverter (which is the main reason I bought it) did not work at all. Once I tried it the fuse blew immediately. I went to the store to purchase another fuse and the same thing happened. I therefore had to return the product as defective. Thank you Amazon.com for the quick refund. You are the best!

Had to send the first unit back because the switch to send power to the cables for jumpstarting had a flaw. It wouldn't stay in position on it's own. Someone had to force and hold it over in order to maintain a connection. Also, the cable clamps require delicate handling. Positive cable snapped in my hand when going to clamp on to post.

The unit feels sturdy otherwise and the overall features are nice so I took a chance and sent it back for another one. It works like it's suppose to. Just have to be aware that this is not a "mechanic grade" unit. It should be fine for most of us casual users. Adding comment on compressor...it takes quite a while to get up to psi. Maybe 2 minutes to get from 38psi to 50psi. Really seems to be working hard during this time./ july 2011 been using this unit for a year now and compressor does not work anymore. Never really had enough power to do a car tire,just good for bike and sport balls. The jump capabilities is what i bought it for and works well except if the battery is completely dead. Might try a more professional unit.

Never got it to actually jump a car because the battery was always dead. My old 3in1 worked better and the battery lasted. Finally the air pump broke and I throw it out. Got mine at Harbor Freight so I figured it was cheap but I see it on Amazon and thought I should pass on my bad experience. Do not recommend.

UPDATE (Mar 2013):

Okay, so I've had this unit for a couple of years now and I've finally had a real problem with it. It seems the switch for the compressor isn't designed to withstand the heat generated by the current flowing through it to run the compressor. I'd never used the unit to inflate a completely flat large truck tire and after about 20 minutes of continuous running, the compressor began stopping and starting randomly. When I felt the switch it was hot and completely "loose" and didn't seem to be positively controlling the compressor any more. I kept it going and after some more time the switch gave out altogether, rendering the compressor inoperable.

Now, this isn't recommended for everyone, but I ended up prying the panel off the front (with all the switches, gauges, and lights on it), and was able to "jump" the switch with a screwdriver to finish the job. The compressor never gave out, but the screwdriver got pretty hot. I now have a partially destroyed unit (the panel doesn't simply pop out and in I had to pretty much rip it off). In an emergency, it still has value, but clearly the switch was not rated for the current the compressor draws.

Otherwise, it still works for me and the battery still lasts a remarkably long time, even with heavy use. I would still recommend this product, but I would advise anyone using it to avoid using the compressor for more than 5 minutes at a time without a 15 minute "cool down" period so you don't burn up the switch.

Good luck!

~~ Original Review (May 2011) ~~

I was surprised at the other reviews on this product. I might have a different version because mine is red instead of yellow, but otherwise it's exactly the same.

I got my unit for Christmas and since have used it multiple times for jumping, for lighting, and for filling tires. Since the original 48 hour charge, I have jumped my truck three times (yes I need to get a new battery for the truck), and one of the times I had left the headlights on so the truck's battery was completely dead. All three times it worked like a champ. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a tire was low and used the compressor to fill a tire from 15 psi to 35 psi no problem. Then, I noticed another tire was a little low and filled that as well (maybe from 25 psi to 35 psi). Today while driving, the 15 psi tire went completely flat so I pulled over and found a nail. I removed the nail (which of course let all the air out), put a plug in the tire, and used the compressor to fill the tire all the way from no pressure. It took a little time, but it worked perfectly. I was driving down the road 10 minutes after I stopped.

In all this time I haven't charged the unit at all (after the initial 48 hour charge), and a voltage check shows 13 volts, so it seems to last pretty well.

I have also used the inverter once to test a used wi-fi router I was buying from someone. Obviously the demand from a router isn't going to be very high, so I don't know how it would do with a hair dryer or microwave, but for my test it worked perfectly.

Overall, I've been extremely happy with my unit. It doesn't seem delicate at all except maybe the compressor hose which has a plastic connector. I'm just careful with it.

Perhaps I got the fluke "good" unit, or there is something different about the red version. If I can figure out the difference I'll repost.
