A Quality Product at a Reasonable Price
I just bought this compressor. So far I am VERY impressed. I've owned other 12V air compressors before and this one is far superior. It is heavier duty and more sturdily built. It is relatively quiet. I tested the psi of my bike tire (@ 95 psi) with an accurate gauge after I filled it. It was exact. The canvas carrying bag is heavy duty. I like that the valve is screw-on rather than clip-on. But not everyone may agree. Personal preference. Energizer's customer service was prompt and helpful when I had a question. Be aware if you want to use a 12V AC/DC adapter that this is rated at 14 amps. A 10 amp adapter won't do the job. You'll need the more expensive 15 amp adapter. Again, I couldn't be more pleased at this point. If my opinion changes after further use, I'll update this review.Update: The product has performed well. I liked so well that I just bought a second one for my other car. I changed my mind about the screw-on valve. It got to be bothersome after using it for a while. No problem: I just bought hose adapters that convert them to clip-on. That also gives the advantage of an extra 10 inches on the hose.

I hope to not need it, but am satisfied it will work.
I just received this, so I cannot speak to durability, but I immediately went to the garage, let the air out of one of my SUV tires, and used it to inflate that tire.I then used it to top off the pressure on the remaining 3 wheels. The unit worked well, has easy to understand the controls, and the digital pressure gauge on the unit was accurate (I checked with a separate tire gauge). I also like the addition of a light on the unit as a redundancy in case my flashlight doesn’t work when I need to fix a flat on some cold snowy night.I work a field service job, and literally spend my week working out of my vehicle. As such, I average about 1 flat tire per year. I am satisfied that this pump will reliably save the day when I need it.I can change a tire without much problem, but the majority of my tire problems are a single nail or other object that has punctured the tread on my tire, and I could actually repair the problem more quickly, more easily, and more safely by simply pulling the nail and plugging the hole with a standard tire plug kit.Adding this pump and a high quality tire repair outfit to my emergency kit will allow me to make a quick repair in a parking lot and get back rolling, safely, without the hassle of swapping the wheel for that awful (and much less safe) spare “donut” tire.

Works well, but it's not perfect
I've had this a week and used it to top off the air in all 4 of my vehicles.Pros:- Relatively quiet. It's not whisper quiet but it's also not wake-the-neighbors noisy like a lot of 12V air pumps are.- Relatively fast. It's about 5x faster than my previous 12V pump.- The air hose is long enough for any tire.- Reasonable power usage. There are dual-cylinder pumps that claim to be faster, but they also draw a lot more power from the cigarette lighter/power jack. I didn't want to risk blowing a fuse, or worse.- Auto-shutoff. You can set the pressure and walk away.- Backlit digital display. Much easier to read than analog gauges, especially at night.Cons:- The carry bag. This thing is a total fail. It's just barely big enough so it's difficult to get the pump and out. It's made of really flimsy material so it probably going to break soon. It should also have a small pocket to place the nozzle/stem accessories so they don't get lost.- Gauge and shutoff accuracy. I don't fully understand this. I check the pressure with my calibrated analog gauge and it shows 33.2psi, then I attach the pump and it reads 33psi, so it seems accurate enough. Then I set the shutoff point to 35psi and turn on the pump. When it shuts off, the gauge reads 35psi, so I disconnect the pump and check it again with my calibrated gauge and it says 37.0psi. So, I let out some air until my gauge says it's exactly 35.0psi, then I connect the pump hose again and the gauge reads 35psi. So the gauge doesn't read accurately when the pump does an auto-shutoff. In my experience, after auto-shutoff, the pressure in the tire is always about 2psi higher than the shutoff pressure setting. That's not necessarily so bad since you can lose a little pressure with disconnecting the hose, but I don't understand how the gauge can say the pressure is 35 when it's actually 37. It's like the gauge stopped sensing just for the auto-shutoff. If I just simply disconnect the hose and connect it again, the gauge will read correctly.- 12V cord could be a longer. It will be difficult to reach spare tires in the trunk or mounted on the rear of some sport-utility vehicles and vans.- The place where the cord is supposed to be stored seems like an afterthought.- Too much plastic. I don't like that the handle is mounted into plastic, the feat/legs are plastic, etc. Seems doomed to fail for a variety of reasons when a little bit of metal could've prevented it. It'll outlast the warranty though, and that's all manufacturers care about any more.Update December 1, 2020: I've used this a dozen times and I think I've finally figured out the strange auto-shutoff pressure behavior. The pump appears to automatically inflate the tires to 2psi higher than the pressure that you set for auto-shutoff. After the pump automatically shuts off, just wait a few seconds and the display will show the actual pressure. I figured this out when I was traveling in the Midwest and used it in temps around 25F. Previously, I had only used it in temps over 100F in the Arizona summer. When it's cold outside, the display switches from showing the shutoff pressure to the actual pressure after about 2 seconds, but when it's hot outside, the display takes a few seconds longer to switch over to showing the actual pressure. I just never waited long enough before removing the hose from the tire when it was hot outside.It's also worth mentioning that this pump gets really hot when used for several minutes. I used it to pump up 4 tires from around 13psi to 37psi. I don't know exactly how long the pump ran, but probably around 2 minutes per tire with 15 seconds in between each tire. After the 4th tire, the cylindrical body was too hot to safely touch. I let it sit for 15 minutes before I attempted to wrap up the cords and put it back in the bag, but it was still uncomfortably hot to touch.

Excellent Product
I have had to use this portable compressor several times. Compared to other brands of this same size and type of portable compressor, the Energizer compressor is a MUCH BETTER product. Others pop fuses in their plugs, or in the car where it is plugged in.

Nice Upgrade from HF Cheapo Pump
Got what I paid for. Has a decent weight to it, fixed carry handle on unit, rubber feet that keep it from moving much, relatively low noise, a lit display with desired and current PSI, the shutoff happens immediately after hitting target, and although parts get warm I don't see myself getting accidently burned. Pumps quick enough to not be concerned about draining car battery when engine is off.Here are the cons I can live with: hard to see the buttons in the dark especially because of the lit display, and the cloth case has a tight awkward fit. Had a hard time screwing on a 2012 hybrid Civic with gloves on because of that wheel design. No problem on most other cars. It leaks air while screwing in and out, can't be helped, but loss is like half a PSI if you steadily continue.Bought this because my cheap 10 dollar pump broke on me from overheating and vibrations, fell apart like a broken dream. I wanted an upgrade and that's what this is. Will update review if it lets me down.

Really easy to use
It’s solid and reassuringly heavy. Works well. All in all, very pleased

feels very solid comparing to other air compressor
I think this one will last me a long time. My last one broke within a year

Good quality and value for money
This portable air compressor is very impressive. The power cord is long enough to reach from the lighter socket inside the car to all wheels, the air hose screws onto the tyre valves so you don't get issues with it blowing off andthe pressure gauge is accurate and can be swapped between PSI and Kpa.It is also powerful enough to pump 1 PSI in about 15 seconds so it doesn't take long to top up all your tyres. More pressure output than some more expensive compressors.
