Bon-Aire BA121L 120V Air Compressor/Inflator

I primarily got this to fill the tires in my car. It works and works well. However, I just learned that the Black & Decker Air Station, which actually costs less, includes a cable to connect directly to your car's power outlet. The biggest annoyance with using the Bonaire is stretching an extension cable out your front door all the way to the car to power it just for quick tire top-ups in this age of $4/gallon gas. I really wish it had the B&D feature so I would not need to keep an extension cord handy and have to dirty my hands every time I use it. For the price, Bonaire could and should equal their competitors' features.

Later note: Tried to connect this to my car using a 200W power inverter. I feared this would not be enough watts to handle the motor in the pump and indeed it was not. I'll report back if I find an inverter beefy enough to work with the Bonaire.

Broke the second time I used it, total time on unit approximately 5 minutes. Thought 120v would pump more volume than 12v units, but my Master Flow MF-1040 is just as quick, and has lasted longer.

This is a good purchase. Often I would go to a gas station to put air in my tires only to discover their machine was broken, if it wasn't broken it still didn't have a guage to inform you how much air you had put in, and of course you needed change.

Wow, does this thing work. I HAD a problem with a slow leak in my lawn tractor tire. It stays inflated for about two weeks then gradually loses air. I'd have to fight the cotter pin and remove the tire to take it to a gas station to reinflate it or else buy a tube for the tire and bribe the guy I know at Wal-Mart to put the tube in the tire for me and reinflate it. No one else would touch this installation so I was stuck. My small in the car inflator couldn't inflate the tire so I decided to try buying this unit and periodically reinflate the tractor tire. I took the unit out of the box, plugged it in and it had the tire inflated within 30 seconds. Problem solved! The gauge on top of the unit is not accurate but I've got my own tire gauge so this is not an issue for me. I estimate that the gauge reads about ten pounds above the actual pressure. I highly recommend this unit for inflating any tire you have to inflate quickly and easily.

Sears badge-labels this thing and sells it as a Craftsman product. We
bought one, fired it up to inflate a low tire on a van, and within
3 minutes the unit was smoking. Yes, you read that right, smoking,
as in burning out its motor. Sears took it back without comment.
