> 24 hourSeems like a quality product. I traded for a portable unit. I did not want to deal with all the wiring and finding a suitable place to mount the switch.

> 24 houralthough it is easy to use, wasnt dependable after 2 useages. The first time i used it, I got 3 of the 4 tires inflated before overheating. second time same issue. Now it doesnt work. Was told by manufacture the brushes needed to be reset. Done. still now power to the compressor. Everything checked out fine. connection,power through the wiring harness. Just isnt worth the effort or money. now i just lost money that could have gone to a power tank.

> 24 hourThis thing is powerful! I was surprised when it arrived and I opened the box. This thing was heavy In a good way tho. Well built with quality parts. It comes with everything need to wire it up and to switch it on. You only need to plumb the air side of it. I mounted on the inside up high on the rear passenger wheel well. On my 2006 gmc sierria. I have it going to a 7 gallon air tank and a 25ft air reel where my Spain tire used to be.

> 24 hourExcellent 12v air compressor. Im so impressed with it that I would never buy a different one, except maybe the twin version. This one has been so useful! I use it to air up tires at the end of a trail, blow dust off of gear, and inflate my air mattress. Ive had mine installed and working for over a year now. Install was a breeze thanks to the unique mounting system. I have mine mounted inside a small hard case that I mounted in the back of my 2005 Frontier. My only complaint was the instructions, which assume youre using it to power ARBs air lockers. The supplied wiring and hardware is great, but I had already installed a relay block and auxiliary fuse box, so I had to figure out how to make the compressor work with my pre-installed wiring. Overall though, the install was very smooth and pretty easy. The design of the compressor is fantastic and feels very solid. I would not ever worry about how long it would last. Performance out of it has been nothing short of outstanding. Its filled up my tires as well as many friends tires at the ends of countless off road adventures and has yet to have an issue. It does get warm but never overheats, even after very prolonged use. I can fill my 285/75R16s from 20 PSI to 42 PSI in about 2 minutes per tire, which is great. It has limited use with a blower nozzle, but thats just because I dont have a tank rigged up to it. For my purposes though, its good enough without the tank. Overall, I cant recommend highly enough. Its become one of my main essentials now.

> 24 hourGood pump. Turned it into a mobile unit. But... I have not used it in a cave.

> 24 hourSo far so good. I was apprehensive to spend this much on a compressor but it works really well. Ive been using it to air up my 31r16 tires from around 10psi (for sand) back up to 50-60psi and itll do the job in about 20mins which is impressive for such a little pump. That said, it gets HOT. This is to be expected but be ready to have a high temp extension line or it will literally melt your air hose. Well see how she holds up but so far Im impressed.

> 24 hourAbsolutely love this compressor, I mounted under my seat to avoid the heat of the engine to hopefully prolong its life.

> 24 hourupdate: Contacted warranty support. Unbelievable easy and smooth to get the replacement part to fix the defective part. Id give 5 stars, except for the QA of the system before sale. Downside, their contact webpage is having a lot of 403 Forbidden issues... But, call them and things are very smooth! ---------------------Old Review - Before calling support----------------------- Of course I discovered a fatal flaw, after I went through the effort to install and use it. I discovered a crack in the cast iron in the manifold. Crack goes from air compressor sensor hole to main manifold bolt hole. Manifold wont hold air. At first, I thought the leak was in the aluminum cylinder threads. Nope! Ill contact ARB USA to see what they can do to fix it. Purchased in Jan 2020, so hopefully their warranty covers a manufacturer fatal flaw defect a 45 days after purchase. Not counting on it. Check your cast iron components prior to install! Save yourself the headache. I cant fathom how the QA missed such a major flaw.

> 24 hourIts ARB.... What do you expect? Fit great on the engine cover mount in my JL, wired to my RC ML6 switch bank, and extended the hose. Super happy!

> 24 hourGreat compressor, fast to fill tires, I can actually inflate the tires faster than my staun deflators can remove the air. I also have mine mounted in the rear of the SUV and have posted a video no youtube to show approx how loud it is in my application. As always your results will vary. But I mounted it to 3/4 particle board (that I still need to carpet), and bolted that to some 1x1x1/8 angle steel stock, sandwich clamped to the legs of my Garvin interior rack using grade 8 hardware. I used F4 tape to protect the finish and provide sound/ vibration dampening. I wired it by extending the 10g power wire using 8G wire to the battery. Since there are 2 motors, there are 2 power leadss, so I used 2 8G wire runs fuse with a mini ANL fuse block at the battery with 40A fuses. Youtube video of the sound for reference for those who wish to mount it inside the rig with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDWN7hc_Fk
