Some here have complained that it's too hard to pack the wires into the unit

The power switch's design makes it too easy to flip into AC or DC when you don't intend to. I don't know, however, if this can actually cause harm to the unit. FWIW, I accidentally switched into DC while turning it off on AC, and it seemingly did nothing and worked just fine afterward.

As for the noise, since "loud" means different things to different people, I went ahead and measured it. From a distance of about two feet, using C-weighting, I got about 92 dB; I got about 96 dB at three or four inches. At those levels, if you had to listen to it all day in your workplace, OSHA would require hearing protection, but for just a few minutes while you inflate something, it's not a problem. Put in terms of what may be more familiar to many, it's equivalent to a moderately loud segment of an action movie in a theater.

Finally, a note about wire storage. Some here have complained that it's too hard to pack the wires into the unit. I was able to do so for the first time, on the first try, without any frustration and without having to redo the wires. Basically, a quick, loose loop or two suffices for the AC cord and air line, but the space is small enough that you really need to neatly wrap (but not tie) the DC cord. If you are the sort that does that anyway, as I am, you'll be quite happy with the storage compartment. If you're the sort that would prefer to simply shove the wires in, you'll have a harder time.I bought this model to replace my older B&D air station. This one is much quieter than the old one and it has the nice automatic "shut off" feature. However the hose connector is plastic (seems flimsy) compared to the metal connector on the older model. My beef with this model is that to see the actual tire pressure on the gauge, the unit must be shut off. Then if the pressure is not adequate, then it is to be turned on again. But doing this too fast and too often will blow the internal fuse. I've done it. Now I have to tear apart the unit to replace the fuse on the internal pc board. What a pain! BE CAREFUL!!

.....Six months later... My "3-star" rating has been reduces to "1-star"

I've used the inflator off and on since November when the fuse blew the first time. However last night, I was inflating my car tires. The first 3 tires went fine. When I turned on the unit to inflate the 4th tire, the unit immediately turned off. I knew that the internal fuse had blown. I disassembled the unit and replaced the blown fuse with a fuse of same ratings. Upon power up, the new fuse blew. I suspected that there were other problems with the control circuitry. To confirm this, I soldered a thin piece of copper wire across the blown fuse. Upon power up, the copper wire vaporized with flash and loud pop. This confirmed a bigger problem. Being an electrical engineer who has designed consumer products to UL standards for over 20 years, I suspect that this inflator is designed with very little safety margin. When the fuse cannot protect the other circuitry, it is not adequate. I advise not buying this product. Most of the B&D products are made in China, and probably are built without any UL standard being enforced. I believe that the units are designed to meet the standards, but the manufacture of them is in question, in my mind. The manufacture of these products is supposed to undergo UL scrutiny every so often. However we all know how the US Customs office is often deficient in its review of such imported products.
