I was hesitant to buy a product with “Slime” as the brand name. Nevertheless, it was on sale and I decided to risk it. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! It was cheaper than my previous tire inflator from Sears( I called the red hot mama!) and was much better. It was easy to use and was powerful enough to inflate the tires on two vehicles quickly without getting hot. I would recommend it to anyone and plan to seek out the “Slime” brand next time.

I used Slime COMP 7 rechargable inflator to inflate my temporary spare tire (donut tire) and it took about 4 minutes, I also adjusted my tires pressure and the inflator worked very well, inflating from 25 psi to 35 psi took about 3 minutes. The gauge on the inflator seems to be reliable as I checked it with another gauge that I have and they both showed a same number. The big plus is that this inflator is rechargable. The size and weight of the device is also appropriate, easy to handle and store in the back trunk. I just used it for a few times and haven’t recharged it yet, but it works pretty good so far.

I bought this compressor after my foot pump broke which cost me close to $15. I have only used it three times. Once to top off my motorcycle tires, once to top off one car tire and once to fill my spare to replace the tire that I had topped off previously. It’s simple to use, small and light weight. I was surprised based on the reviews how fast it filled the spare, which took about 5min from completely flat to about 30lbs. I think that’s pretty good! It is noisy which is the reason I gave it five stars, but it did not get really hot during any of it’s uses. Even after the 5 minute use it was only slightly warm.

I don’t often give a positive review but I have to say I’ve never had a more convenient tire pump. It’s so nice not to have to work around the power cord and it holds a charge for a good while, I’ve inflated my tires several times and it still seems to have a good charge. You do need to read the manual, it has to be charged in the correct manner but it’s easy follow the steps. It also has generous storage areas to keep all the chargers, hose, and accessories, others I’ve used have storage areas so small that it’s tough to get all the stuff in the compartment. My only complaint is that it’s a bit tough to remove it from the valve stem when disconnecting but that seems to be getting better as I used it (it’s wearing in) and it’s very minor issue. I’ll never go back to the pumps that need to be powered either from the car or the house to be used.

A compact rechargeable inflator that uses a lead-acid battery. Noisy but powerful, it has handy storage for its components, but a useless pressure gauge.
After my last 12V-DC inflator blew the fuses on my Civic, I decided it was time for a tire pump that didn’t depend on the car for power. This unit inflates my Civic tires about 2-3 times as fast as the old 12V.
It’s not as loud as the car engine and the old pump were (running at the same time), but all the noise is from one point, so it seems louder to my ears. It vibrates enough to “walk” a little while running on the concrete floor.
The unit has storage panels front and back that store all of the cables/accessories that come with it, and a short instruction leaflet. The in-built gauge is useless. It approximates the correct pressure with the unit off (but not clearly enough to read a specific number). But turn the unit on, and the indicated PSI instantly jumps to 40psi and stays there.
I have to check the pressure before and after with my Accutire Digital Tire Gauge. An accurate built-in digital pressure readout would have been outstanding. The flip-tab on the hose is kind of stiff for the first few uses, I ended up letting a bunch of air out of my tires in the process of getting it locked into place.
The product’s lead-acid battery has the advantage of no “memory effect”, meaning charging the battery w/o discharging it fully doesn’t shorten its life (like a Ni-Cad), but the drawback is that much like your car battery, a lead-acid must be kept topped off, and if you allow a lead-acid to drain completely, it fails and is no longer chargable. A Lithium-Ion would have been nice instead, since they are non-toxic (no special disposal needed) and are not harmed by being fully discharged.
I’m unclear on the choice of “Slime” as a brand-name, but it IS memorable, and the product is good. And it sure beats using a filthy public air pump at a gas station (and it’s always freezing, searing hot, or raining when you need to do this), if you can even find one that’s functioning.
This inflator could be quieter, use a Li-ion battery, and have a usable pressure gauge, but it gets the job done in a compact no-fuss package. Recommended.
