Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This item appears to be fairly well-made. It has a rather large footprint and weighs ~15 lbs. I like the layout of the controls and lighted psi gauge. The battery charge indicator has three LED's, so it's hard to gauge exactly how much charge is left. When I received this item, the plastic valve on the end of the air hose was broken off. Rather than send it back, I decided to fix it myself for two reasons. 1 - The plastic valve will eventually break off again (very cheap component). 2 - The 1/4" rubber air hose is VERY short (less than 18"), which will make the compressor more difficult to position and use. So, I went to the local hardware store and got a better air valve, an extension hose and 1/4" compressor hose repair kit for about 20 bucks. Now I can reach any tire without having to reposition the unit. The compressor does reach pressures over 100psi, so the 120 rating isn't too far off. Additionally, the jumper cables are VERY short - about 2'. I can imagine this causing a problem positioning the unit safely for a jump start. Even with these minor issues, I still think this a good value. 1st UPDATE: After using the compressor and inverter for 3+ months, I'm impressed with the performance. I also got a chance to use this to jump start my truck. The truck battery had drained after sitting over a month without being started. The power station had been charged two months prior and was left in the bed of the truck the entire time. I was surprised when it was able to jump start the V-8 engine with ease. I had to let it charge the truck battery for about 1 minute before starting the motor. I'm raising the 3 star rating to 4. Would be a 5 if not for the short hose, cheap air valve and short jumper cables. 2nd UPDATE: 2+ years later, it's still working great! A few months ago, I dropped one of the jumper cables and busted the plastic cover over the air pressure gauge, oh well. It's also been mildly frustrating when the compartment lid pops open at inopportune times, but nothing too serious. I am still impressed with this power station and reaffirm my 4-star rating. I've read others' reviews who had trouble with poor customer service. Thankfully, I never needed customer service.
