This automatic air pump had three jobs to make me happy

This unit was not as loud as I expected. The previous inflator I was using was obnoxiously loud at a frequency that was very unpleasant.

The other inflator had severe vibration issues and due to its shape and lack of stability would shake until it landed on its side. This unit is stable and because of the rubber knobs on the bottom remains rather still.

I like the feature that lets you set the desired PSI and then automatically shuts off when it reaches that pressure. It makes the slowness much more tolerable when at home because you can simply do other tasks while it's working.

After filling up my tires using similar settings for the front and for the back, I measured the pressure of the tires and found that they were accurate to within 1 PSI.

I timed the first tire I inflated at a little over 4.5 minutes to go from 20 PSI to 30 (YMMV depending on what you're inflating). My truck is a full size '86 Chevy C-10 and there is adequate length to hook the unit up to my vehicles power and easily inflate the tires.

For all of the things I like about this unit, there is one thing that causes me to give it a 3 out of 5 rating. The valve adaptor lever looks as though it might not last very long. That is the very reason I'm buying a new inflator because the valve adaptor lever broke on the previous (non-B&D) unit I was using.

On the large picture on the box, the lever looks as though it is one solid plastic piece but it isn't. The way it's actually designed, it should be made out of metal. I just don't see this poorly designed plastic lever holding up for the long haul. For $50 I expect something solid that I know will last.

I looked through the reviews on here and the oldest one is from November of last year. I can only imagine that, given time, several people on here will end up with broken valve adaptor levers. I'm going to return this item for something with more solid construction.

This automatic air pump had three jobs to make me happy: First, it had to inflate my wife's toyota's tires (32 psi). This tool makes it flawless,fast and easy. Also, it needed to inflate our mountain bike tires (50 psi). This device makes it outrageously easy and fast. Finally, it needed to fill the tires to both my vans (80 psi). This apparatus does the trick nicely. For all applications I need it for, the auto turn off makes the chore mindless and accurate. While it is fast for car and bicycle tires, it is a little more time consuming for my van tires which are big. Hence, the auto turn off comes to the rescue again. I just let it do its thing while I do my own thing. Just so you get an idea; bikes that are about 10-20 lbs low it takes about a minute per tire; cars that are 5-10 pounds low, I figure it takes about 2-3 minutes per tire and for van tires that are about 10-20 lbs too low it takes easily 5 minutes per tire and often more than that. Still, it does it, and this little dance I do with the air station sure beats going to the gas station, hoping the pump with the faulty built in gauge is working and taped up properly and sweating to beat the all too short timer that all too often cuts me off either a few pounds before I am finished or a whole tire too soon...phooey!
This air station is a little loud, so make sure you don't use it too late at night or too early in the morning. It hums along and soon one gets used to the noise.
Hope that helps,
Michael
