Buying Viair 00093 90P Portable Air Compressor Kit


Pros
- Quiet operation (specs state 67db) much quieter than the gasoline station compressor
- on/off switch
- Cables are long enough to reach my rear tires on a full sized sedan with ease (5ft air hose + 11ft power cable).
- Filling performance/speed on par with gasoline station compressors
- Can work on tires up to 33"
- Sturdy metal construction quick connect device

Cons (very minor critiques)
- I wish carrying bag was slightly bigger or the location of the air hose outlet could change. When I put the compressor in the bag it seems like it could unnecessarily bend the hose if I' not careful. This is just a very minor complaint.
- Haven't gotten the pressure gauge to read correctly.
- 1 year warranty (wish it was 2 or 3 years)

If you goto viair's website, the 70p is for up to 175/65/15 tires, which is 15" tires. I had 18" tires, so that's why I looked into the 90p.

I also looked at the Masterflow/Q-Industries MF-1050 / MV-50. These pumps are spec'd similarly to the Viair 90p. One confusing thing is that the MF-1050 and MV-50 are the same exact pump - did some research online. In the end, I opted for the Viair brand, b/c their website and company history seemed more solid than MasterFlow.

I think a lot of people who get compressors w/ a power rating of only 15A (those that are powered by cigarette lighters or 110v cords) have a pump that's just too underpowered for their needs. That's why it breaks down or they have an unsatisfactory experience.

This Viair 90p definitely meets my needs and I'd recommend it to all.Get more detail about Viair 00093 90P Portable Air Compressor Kit.
