I have a really powerful two stage compressor run by a 2 hp electric motor. But no tank for it yet. I don't want to leave it outside. So, what I do is fill an 8 gallon aluminum air tank and take that out and fill all the tires. I had just done that to our Chevy Bolt.
So when this thing showed up, I got a direct comparison. I charged the battery; it was almost full when it got here - it only charged for about 20 minutes. Then, instead of doing the air tank routine, I took this out to the Ioniq Hybrid Plug-In. It hasn't had the tires filled in a couple years and they were at 30-32 psi. That was also partly because it was about 30 degrees outside...
I set this thing at 39 psi (The Ioniq tires are supposed to be at 36 PSI), so that it wouldn't bother me for a few more years. WOW!! About 20-30 seconds per tire!! It's extremely accurate!! They give you a final calibration | test sheet with it. At this pressure, it was about .2 PSI off at the factory according to the sheet. I couldn't believe it! It shut off, as advertised, at 39 PSI. (It reads out in tenths.) When I drove the car around the next day, the dash read 38 PSI on all four tires for the first time EVER! Not even one pound of difference between tires! (Until the tires warmed up.) And it's almost hard to believe that this thing performs this well!! I was done in no time! You don't have to take anything else!! You don't have to take an air tank, a pressure gauge, extension cord, power station, or anything else! You don't have to let air back out because you went a little too far! I'm loving it! I'm still having trouble believing this small 8 pound device did that well! When I got done, it still had full battery bars! It didn't even put a dent in the battery!
I got it because it just... smelled like quality after reading everything, because it has a relatively huge battery, because it's so convenient and light, and because of all the garbage you usually end up with. NOT GARBAGE!!! Always a nail-biter nowadays. I like the carrying case a lot, too!!
I have one small, almost insignificant little complaint. The Ioniq has pretty trick wheels. The air chuck on this thing is 90 degrees from the hose to the air chuck that goes on the tire. The valve stems on the Ioniq are real short - almost further in than the wheel, itself. It was a little bit of a struggle getting the air chuck on the valve stem. But I would rather have a chuck that seals perfectly when you flip the lever than an easy-to-attach chuck that leaks air, and this one doesn't leak a drop of air once you have it on right! That's rare, too!
One of the reviews complained that the pressure went up a couple pounds and then it kept shutting off right away instead of filling the tire. There's no way to know for sure, but I am now of the opinion that the guy might not have had the air chuck all the way on the valve stem and no air could get through.
VERY pleased with this thing! The only thing you probably shouldn't do is keep it in the car because lithium batteries are like us humans, as far as the temperature range they "like". Leave it inside when possible; just take it on long trips or something.
If you want one with lots of battery, lots of power, accuracy, and a quality build, here you go! I almost knocked off a star for ease of use due to the air chuck not playing nice with the Ioniq's valve stems, but it didn't seem fair. I'd have to know if that was mostly the Ioniq's fault and not this thing's. I'd have to know how many cars out of 10 had a problem because of that. And, like I wrote, I'd rather have it not leak once it's on the valve stem, given a choice. Great device!!
