Just as advertised
The item arrived on time and was not only what I wanted but was "as advertised." I could ask for nothing more!
Has an actual amperage requirement of 15A, not only a regular 12V outlet would be sufficient..
I just got this tire inflator and when I went down to the garage to pump up the tires, I was disappointed to see that this device actually has an amperage requirement to work properly! I have two relatively new Hondas(08 Pilot and 06 Civic) and neither of them seem to comply with this device. Their power outlets are rated 10A, whereas this device needs a 15A minimum. So actually 12V is not the only requirement for this compressor to work, it needs to be coupled with proper amperage.
I contacted the manufacturer(Slime) and the customer representative responded to me saying that the device might work(or blows the car's fuse) but there is no guarantee that it would work with less than 15A. So basically I ended up in a "try at your own risk" situation having bought this inflator.
I am returning this item sooner. I would also suggest Amazon.com to put in more detailed product information for this item. I wouldn't have bought this item in the first place if the amperage requirement was listed here.
Junk
This Slime COMP03 air compressor should not be listed on your website. It run for 18 min.to go from 30psi to 35psi on one tire. The noise level was unbearable. The light was just ok, not bright, but air came on the light when dead. After one tire I gave up and put in were it belonged, the trashcan. The name should be Shame not Slime.
very loud..
the product works as described. However, it is too loud with a disturbing operation. I am returning it!
Slime is Real Fine
The Slie compressor really turned out better then I could imagine. I had read some reviews that indicated problems with the seal, but I have not run into those problems. The real benefit of this compressor is the ON/OFF switch and the pressure indicator. I tested the accuracy against a standard pressure guage and found it right on the money. It makes it much easier to fill to the desired pressure. Great product.
