Pumps It Up
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Positives: This thing works. I now carry it in my car since getting a flat and was not able to fix it immediately. Yes, it is loud – if you want quiet – use a hand pump.
Negatives – You do need a good gauge since the gauge on the compressor is not all that accurate.
Overall – Buy it

Good Tire Pump
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had the Sears version of this before and it broke. Its motor was still working but I think the rubber mechanism inside either dried up or broke so no air was pumped. I probably had this for 3 years using it once a week in the last two years.
The Bon-Aire seemed to be the exact version albeit in a yellow casing versus black. It inflates tires much quicker compared to another 12 volt (cigarette lighter plug-in) compressor. The only reason I might use the 12 volt compressor is easier access since the Bon-Aire requires me to pull out the extension cord, etc. I keep the 12v in my car for easier access and emergencies.
As with all compressor air gauges, this one does not match the reading of a dedicated air gauge. Don’t rely on it and have a good dedicated air gauge to check your tire pressure.
You can’t beat the convenience of having one of these available in the home. Also use it to pump up bike tires, balls, large inflatables.

DO NOT BUY! BROKE AFTER A YEAR OF LITTLE USAGE
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
After sparse usasge, (a couple minutes every few months), the machine started to die. Eventually, a burning smell would present itself after turning it on and it would die on it’s own after a minute.

I do not recommend it
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I ordered one. It inflated the tire in a minute but with increasing rattle sound inside. turned it off and shaked and got pieces of plastic from inside falling. At the end of the one minute mission, the rear upper end that supports the compressor is cracked. Looking at the whole thing, I find it a powerful compressor hanging on the most fragile and weakest plastic casing you can immagine. I returned it and went to Home depot and was astonished of the variety and the quality of compressors I can get around $10 more than this one, including other tools for more applications. I do not recommend it.

MOTOR BURNS OUT IN LESS THAN A YEAR
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I thought this was going to be a good air compressor, and for a year it worked great for car and bicycle tires. However, like others experiences, it did have a slight burning smell. At the time of this writing the motor has burned out and stopped working..on its final use you could see the smoke and a visible flame inside the unit and chugged at half speed. It gave off what i hope isn’t a toxic odor. Avoid this air compressor.
