Slime's Air Compressor is easy to use. It features a dial gauge measuring up to 300 PSI, and a powerful light for optimal visibility in a range of conditions. Independent on/off switches for both the light and compressor increase the unit's versatility, and it is powered by the car's 12-volt cigarette lighter. Slime's 300 PSI Air Compressor helps maintain optimal tire inflation, which minimizes tread wear, increases gas mileage and improves handling, fuel consumption and maintenance.

I Got "Slimed" By This Purchase!

I bought this as a replacement for a compressor I had for many years. I used it maybe 4 times and the clamp interior was chipping off already. Therefore, it wouldn't inflate the tire because it couldn't clamp down tightly. I only had it for about 4 months before this happened. Now I have to buy a new one - I'm definitely getting a different brand. I certainly got "Slimed" by buying this cheap piece of junk. If possible, I would give this zero stars. Save your money!

Not a good compressor

I bought this compressor because of the Slime name, which I expected to provide a quality product. This compressor is weak. It only pumps up to 30psi before it stops pumping (not 300psi). I still have to finish off my bicycle tires with a hand pump.
15 years ago I bought a $20 compressor and it lasted until last year. Last year I bought a super-cheap $8 compressor. It lasted a few months. I thought by spending a little more I would get more, but I don't expect this one to last very long either. It is just a cheap piece of junk with a name-brand that people trust so that you are fooled into buying it. What a waste of money!

Broke within 30 seconds of first use

I'm surprised how these companies can make such a piece of garbage and put it on the shelves. After taking this out of the box and plugging it in to the 12V outlet, the compressor didn't turn on at all. After messing with it, it started to work but promptly began to smoke heavily and shake around. When unplugging it from the outlet, the part to plug in was so hot it burned my hand. Never will I buy another Slime product.

On to the next one!

I have a slow leak (non-repairable) in a mini-van tire. The tire requires 32 psi and has to be aired up every few days. The instructions say not to run the compressor more than ten minutes without a break. Apparently, ten minutes is its max as after 12 minutes the diaphragm blew out and the tire started LOSING air. Fortunately, the store where I bought it took it back as defective. On to the next one!

Great travel-sized pump

I've had this pump for almost four years now and it's a great addition to any garage. Just plug it into a car's cigarette lighter and it does the rest! The only downside is that it's very loud and takes a long time to fill up a car tire, but then again if you've got a flat tire you're not going anywhere anyway!

Coleman 12volt 5-in-1 compressor

Compressor work fine, gauge is difficult to read if you use it to pump tires. Gauge is 0-240 psig, seeing 1 lbs is impossible, so buy a tire gauge.

Great product

Coleman 12-Volt 5-In-1 Compressor W/Light #PMC7060
Remember the old bicycle pump? The one that will exhaust you in just a few minutes of pumping? As a female, I had no way to pump up tires; whether vehicle, lawn mower, or wheelbarrow. (other than the old pump) I received this pump and it is absolutely great. No more pumping till exhausted. Just plug in to the cigarette lighter of vehicle and pump till at correct pressure. I am so pleased!

tire inflator

This item fulfills the need for an emergency inflator when confronted with low tire pressure. It inflates quickly, is compact and stores in its own container. The extra nozzles should also perform as advertized to inflate other devices. Well worth the price.

Very slow and loud, but working well and inexpensive

Very slow and loud, but still working well for the low price. It will take almsot an hour to pump a partially deflated car wheel. The plastic cover where all the tubes/adapters arestored keeps falling off.

User Unfriendly Design

This thing LOOKS good IN THE BOX!. But after reading the User Instructions and considering ALL the restrictions for use, decided it was probably more trouble than it was worth. Bought it for emergency purposes on the road -- forget about that - because manual indicates that Unit must be stored at between 65 to 75 degrees. So that restriction makes it useless for that purpose. Also, bought it to inflate RO Tanks to proper use. Unit was useless for this purpose, as well. Chuck wouldn't fit on intake valve enough to depress valve core for adding air. When turned on, pressure went immediately to 120 lbs - indicating that it was only inflating the input hose - not the tank! I believe this unit is user unfriendly because, 1) You can NOT use it when plugged directly into a 110/120 volt outlet. This power source is ONLY good for recharging unit's battery. 2) Has green light to indicate HI charge, but no metering device. As such, how is anyone going to know at what capacity it is charged? Has yellow LOW charge light, but at what capacity does this unit change from Green to Yellow Light? - 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% - probably no, but at 40%, 30%, or 20% or even less - probably yes! Manual doesn't say, just that unit is either Green or Yellow or NOTHING! 3) States you can use it with either the battery or plugged into our car's cigarett lighter - but it CAN NOT be plugged in when starting your car. So, if you wanted to charge it while on a trip, you'd have to remember to keep unplugging charger each time your stopped, then re-start your car, and then plug it back in for proper charging! It takes 3 to 4 hours to charge via 12 volt DC per manual! You might forget and then ruin your battery when re-starting your vehicle! Designers should have installed something to protect unit from this problem and should have made it work when plugged into a regular 110/120 volt outlet, as well. This would have made for a much more useable tool. It is bad enough that it takes forever to recharge and inflate items, but to make it with so many user cautions (restrictions) makes this unit useless in my opinion! Yes it is cheap at $40.00, but then what good is it if it can't do the job easily without a lot of restrictions and then takes a long time to inflate anything!

Solid for light use

Bought this unit over a year ago, and have had good enough service from it, that I didn't feel the need for a review.

In that time, we've used this compressor to pump up everything from inflatable snow sleds to the tires for the car, and it's done very well, never running out a charge too early. I do wish you could use it plugged into AC power, and it definitely needs more volume if you want to pump up something huge, but it gets there and it gets the job done. Well worth the money.

Only okay

I had it for about three years (early 2007), used it maybe 4-5 times a year. I bought it to keep in the car trunk. Recharged it regularly as recommended. But after a year, it became less reliable. Air pressure was inconsistent from one use to the next, weak-to-fine, gauge would often stay at zero. It was a 50-50 proposition whether it would refill my tire. When it worked, it was fine but reliability was the issue. Finally, yesterday, it wouldn't inflate tire at all. When I locked down the valve, the pressure dropped. So, in my case, the battery was not the problem but the pump section just wouldn't work right.

Junk Battery

The battery will not hold a charge after a few inflations. It has a very small compressor since it has to have more room for the worthless battery. It takes about 20 minutes to inflate a 16" tire from almost flat. My battery quit completely after 4-5 inflations. I took it apart and found a swelled battery. Lucky it didn't split apart and get acid all over everything. You can get a replacement battery for $20 - $50 plus shipping.

Works great for about a year

I received a Campbell Hausfeld Cordless Inflator for Christmas a few years back. I loved it, as it was so handy to pump up lawn equipment tires. But after a couple years it would no longer hold a charge, and would only work when plugged in.

I purchased another one because I liked it so much, and the second one only worked one year before it would no longer hold a charge. If you are looking for a one year solution its great, otherwise, save your money.
