Works Well and Reliably
By SW on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025
I've had several of these Slime tire compressors, and the motor has never has a problem, and this more recent one seems to be a little more efficient than previously. I like the clip-on tire valve stem connector better than the previous Slime tire inflator that had a screw-on tire valve stem connector, which started to malfunctiion after a number of years. One weak point is the tip of the accessory charge plug tends to unscrew and come loose sometimes, creating a spotty connection, or worse fall off, and I've had to search for it in the console compartment, carrying bag or, in this most recent instance on the floor on the side of my driver's seat, and then screw it back on. I'm thinking of adding a touch of superglue to keep that from happening. I've never had to replace the little fuse inside the plug, so... Although this last time I made sure to tighten it as much as possible manually, and I think a second attempt did sinch it up a bit more--I hope that holds it

Inflator is very unreliable
By AC on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024
I needed to inflate a tire that had 28 psi of pressure. I wanted to get it up to my usual 34psi. The green lever that you have to flip to secure the connector to the valve stem broke on my very first usage. Since the connector would not latch on after it broke, I tried to inflate the tire while holding the connector to the valve stem. The hard plastic pieces dug into my hand and I could not hold it tight enough to inflate the tire. So instead of inflating the tire, it actually caused air to leak out! what started at 28psi went down to 14psi, which is not really drivable because you risk ruining the tire bead or beating up the rim (a replacement rim on my Lexus LS460 is $1,450!). In summary, this product is made very cheaply. It lacks the most basic quality control. Please do not buy this product expecting it to give you peace of mind. It is unreliable out of the box, and you should not waste your hard earned money on it. To add insult to injury, the carrying case that came with the inflator tore the first time I tried to zip it closed. The entire package is astonishingly bad quality. They should not in good conscience sell such poorly designed and manufactured products—especially products that give people a false sense of security. This inflator is liable to leave you stranded.
