Black and Decker Cordless Air Station

I bought this item due to its convenience and to avoid the race of putting air in all of the tires before the time expires on my three minute gas station air pump purchase (this can be a marathon with four cars). It works well and being able to set the proper pressure for the tire is great and eliminates the additional step of putting air in and using a pressure gauge to check the psi. This can be valuable in less than desirable weather. The only drawback is removing the valve from the tire without losing too much air - I add an extra half pound to compensate. A chuck for auto and bike tires would be useful. I have a lot of uses for a product like this: I have floats and tubes to inflate in the summer, large exercise balls and air mattresses to inflate around the year, and of course bike and car tires to inflate as needed.

So the ability to inflate high volume items (air mattresses & tubes/floats), as well as other items that need a specific pressure (tires), is great to have in a single product.

And this product does deliver all that, effectively. You can, with little effort, inflate an air mattress from zero to usable in just a few minutes. You can, with little effort, set a target pressure and re-inflate your bicycle tires very quickly.

You should also know that the product comes with an assortment of nozzles that covers most household uses, including the needle type nozzle for balls (I haven't used that yet; it's winter here).

Criticisms:
- They got too clever with the hoses and the design for tucking them into these nifty slots; they keep falling out. (Not the first time something worked on paper but not in the real world.)
- The unit is really quite noisy when it's working. Possibly fixable in a later revision.
- Can't be used while plugged in to an AC outlet. (According to the manual, can be used while plugged in to a car battery, but I haven't tried this.)Got my product today, read the instructions, charged it up, unplugged it, and turned it on. LCD displayed ERR. Went to B&D website for support, it told me that division was sold to Baccus Global.. went to their website, only units with jumper cables are listed.. not this unit or anything close to this unit.
So, I called Black and Decker. They first asked if I turned it on when it was plugged in. I don't think I did, but it would be a rather simple mistake. She acted like I might have killed with such a simple action. I said 'no'. She said that it can't be fixed and I had to take to the local authorized service center for a replacement. That service center was 25 miles out of my way. I called the service center, they told me they would replace my hours old product with a refurb.. and by they way, they don't stock them so it may take 4-8 weeks.
I fiddled with the compressor and re-read both the paper instructions and the instructions at blackanddecker.com. Note: they were different (whatever that means). The on-line version indicates you can inflate a tire without setting a max pressure whereas the printed manual didn't.
Regardless, I actually managed to get a non 'ERR' screen, and actually managed to get it in PSI instead of KpA. I inflated exactly one motorcycle tire, and it worked flawlessly. However, the battery, which did charge for 4-5 hours, was flashing that it was nearly dead after only one motorcycle tire.
