Complete system, tank is so-so
I have not yet installed the system, so I can't report on its performance. The kit was very complete, and the components look robust and well-made. The wire supplied is only 12ga for a 20-foot run, and my preference is for a heavier gauge for that level of current, so I may replace the 12 with 10.
The thing I'm most dissatisfied with is the tank. Although it looks great on the outside at first glance, there are some serious deficiencies. First, it's not painted on the inside, just raw iron, and already starting to rust. Second, the ports are placed so that you can only mount the tank in a horizontal position. The ports on the rounded ends (2) are offset from center, and if you mount the tank vertically, there will be a small puddle of condensate that cannot be drained due to the offset position of the ports. This will result in heavy rusting at that area and premature failure of the tank. As a consequence of needing to mount the tank vertically in my application, I decided to buy...

Love having on-board air!!!
This system is great! Love have on-board air...so convenient, especially being in Alaska...you can easily find yourself with a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Also, being able to use air tools practically anywhere is awesome too. I also installed a second 2.5 gallon tank with the system. Looking at installing air horns and air bags next.
Fantastic unit for those that need air remotely
Installation was not easy and had to purchase extra hardware for my Jeep but well worth the effort. Takes time to fill up the 35" tires but works well when you are out and about. I am going to figure out how to add a second compressor so that I can fill up faster but nice that it keeps the air pressure up and readily available!

Decent little pump
Updating review.
It's now May 2012 and the pump is still running like a champ.
Keep in mind I don't use it that often, just once or twice a month.
Plug has held together. I do wish it had a longer cord or hose, but it reaches
every tire I've used it on so far.

--------

Ok.. I didn't get this from Amazon. I got it from Steve's Tools for about 5$ more.
Needed it now because my old crappy $15 pump finally died.

Pros.
Real smooth and well balanced. This thing doesn't jump around at all.
Fill speed is good, but not for large tires.
For those get the version that clamps to battery terminals.

This one topped off my P255-75R15 in decent time.
However, filling up my 60PSI doughnut spare took a while.
I don't think there is much head space for the higher pressures.
This is where the screw-on air chuck was useful.

The pressure gauge actually works and is accurate...

Don't waste your money
Honestly, I was impressed with this compressor when I first opened the box and the first 2 or 3 minutes it ran...

The price wasn't bad but this compressor sucks. If you just need one to fill tires you'd be better off with one of those pieces of crap autozone sells.

To begin with the connecting rod for the piston won't stay attached to the counterweight that mounts to the motor shaft. On top of that the counterweight won't stay attached to the shaft either. After breaking about 90psi with this thing the connecting rod and/or counterweight comes free and just bangs around inside the plastic cover.

I have machined out both pieces to keep them from slipping but the "seal" on the piston is shot and it will no longer break 80psi.

Small example of the crap construction...the motor shaft has a flat spot on it and the counterweight slides over that. But these idiots put the set screw on the round side of the shaft...and they use an e-clip to hold...
Problems with connecting the unit's air hose to any tire's vavle stem.
The unit operates as advertised. It is light weight, very portable and inflates SUV, car and bike tires very quickly. The problem I am having is with the screw on hose connection to the tire's valve stem. I am never (and I mean never) able to screw the end of the air hose onto any SUV, car or bike tire's valve stem. It simply won't screw on. I therefore need to manually hold the end of the hose onto the valve stem to inflate a tire. I need to hold it in the exact proper position or the air will quickly leak out of the tire. Frustrating to say the least. There have been times when I thought the tire was inflating to find out that I didn't have it in the proper position and the tire was actually deflating.

I just sent an email to Q Industries to find out if the "Optional clip on tire valve inflator extension" that Q Industries sells on their website for $5, will work with the HV402A that I purchased. If this won't work, I am hoping they can provide another alternative...

Porter-Cable PCC583B 18-Volt Inflator (Tool Only, No Battery)
The Porter-Cable 18V Inflator runs off an 18V Porter-Cable NiCad or Lithium-Ion Battery or your vehicle's 12V power adapter. It allows for high pressure inflation for vehicle tires, bike tires, footballs or basketballs. It can also be used for high volume inflation for recreational equipment like air mattresses, rafts and pool toys. It can be used for deflation using the high volume deflation connection making storing items away easier and quicker. It has an automatic shut off feature that shuts inflator off when required pressure is reached (needs to be set). The digital gauge measures pressure with accuracy of +/- 1 PSI at 100 PSI. the inflator can be used as a pressure gauge to check current pressure. It also has convenient on-board, accessory, high pressure and inflation hose storage make it easy to transport and store. The 10-Feet DC cord allows all vehicle tires to be reached if used with the vehicles power adaptor.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

excellent one
This inflater is fast to air the tire. I previously have some 20 some bulks 12v inflaters, and they all took too much time to air the tire around 35 psi. This one is much quicker, and I think that it is almost as fast as the one in gas station.

The build quality is also better than other inflaters I used. The valve part is all mental, and this is the part that cheaper inflaters use plastic.

It is coming with needle to air sport balls.

It is also coming with accessories to air the air mattress or something alike.

I have porter cable 18v tools already, so the battery opreation brings lots of convinience. If you do not have porter cable batteries. Do not buy charger and battery alone, buy some porter cable tool set instead. You will find some tool sets are cheaper than you buy charger and battery indivdually. Research and caculating, and you will undertand what I mean.

Does the job! Porter Cable quality!
Bought this item to inflate tires, water toys, boat fenders and in inflatable boat. Has done what I asked of it quite well. Good features include the easy conversion from high pressure to high flow because there are two separate hoses included and the ability to preset a desired pressure where the unit quits. I do wish it had a 110 volt option. I did not buy the battery pack or charger, but I do plan to decide if I need this portability later. The $40 purchase price is very reasonable, but the battery and charger add at least another $100 dollars unless you already have another PC tool with an 18 volt battery pack!
This Pump is a Great Tool
I really like the feature that lets you set the pump for the pressure you want then just turn it on and it stops automatically when it reaches the desired setting. This makes it very convenient for keeping the tires on my suv at the right pressure for optimum performance.

Keep in mind the the battery and charger are sold separately. In my case this isn't an issue because a few years ago I decided to standardize on the 18 volt Porter Cable tools so I already have three chargers and half a dozen batteries that came with other tools.

Before purchase, check your car socket amps!
I'm writing this review because the Amazon description doesn't inform you that you NEED 15 amps to power the device as clearly stated in the owner's manual. Unfortunately, I didn't know this before purchase so when I plugged it into my Honda Pilot which only supplies 10 amps, it didn't work. I called Slime customer service who confirmed that all their products require 15 amps.

Check your car owner's manual to make sure your power socket supplies 15 amps!

I'm giving it 5 stars because the device itself looks very high quality with a nice storage case. Slime customer service was also speedy and helpful. Too bad the Amazon item description was inadequate.

UPDATE: I have since bought the Black & Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator which works great with my car.

Slime Pro Power air compressor 12 volt
Great carry case, well made, very fast tire inflation, a good buy. Works well on larger SUV type tires. Not a cheesy, cheap compressor.
Great little pump
This pump is far and away superior to a cheaper unit I had been using. I like the coiled air hose and its screw-on connector to the tires and its quick-disconnect connector to the pump. Also, the pump-mounted switches are more substantial than the switch on my old pump, which was on the power cord and had to be replaced. As noted by others, the fabric carrying case does fit the unit snugly, but I've had no difficulty removing or replacing the pump or air hose in the case.
Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty 12-Volt Tire Inflator
Product Features :
  • Heavy duty 12-volt inflator plugs directly into your cigarette lighter, 15-Amp fuse required

Works well, good value
I am pleased with this inflator so far. (I hedge a bit, given the reviews stating that the device has failed for other users. But that's what the warranty is for.) It is easy to use, effective, and convenient with its storage compartment for power cords and inflation hose. I especially like the automatic cutoff feature; I can turn it on and let it do its thing while I'm doing something else. I run my automobile tires at higher pressures than most (60 PSI), and it had no trouble with those. It takes a couple of minutes, of course, but that's to be expected -- this is not a mechanic's air compressor, and I don't expect that level of performance. I haven't tried them on my higher pressure (90 PSI) bicycle tires yet.

Negatives that other reviewers have mentioned and my comments:
* Gauge readability: Yes, it's a little hard to discern small PSI increments on the gauge. But I never rely totally on any pump's or inflator's built-in gauge for my tires; I always verify...

Better than most in this price range
I have used it for about a week now. It is much better than the one I got from Walmart. The major issue I see is that the pressure gauge on this machine is rather small and it will be hard for you differentiate between 27psi versus 29psi without using an external gauge. My Toyota Camry calls for 29psi and my other car asks for 34psi front and 36psi rear. It was impossible for me to read 34 vs 36 psi on this machine's gauge.

Tip: To get the best out of this machine - get a good external mechanical pressure gauge with a relief valve (you can get a decent one for under $10 at Walmart). Then set the dial on this machine to be slightly over (2-3 psi more) the pressure required (I set it to 30psi when filling my Camry which needs 29 psi). Fill the tires with air using the machine. Then use the external gauge to measure the pressure and release the air using its relief valve until the pressure is at the desired reading. Works like a charm for me.

Other than this, the...
Gets the job done
Overall works pretty well.

Positives:

- All hoses and wires and adaptors store inside the unit, for neatness.

- built-in handle is nice

- long 12V auto power cord

- two-year warranty

Negatives:

- When it stops automatically after inflating one item (such as a tire), it must be turned off and back on to inflate another item, or to increase pressure setting and continue filling.

- the AC power cord is extremely short. Pretty much requires an extension cord.

- the air hose is fairly short.

- The noise it makes is quite loud, though not as loud as some I've heard.

- fitting the cords and hose back into the storage compartment is not easy.

- the valve adapter is plastic, not metal, and doesn't seem sturdy. It works so far, however.
