 versatile and inexpensive contraption June 19, 2010
P. Karpenko (CA USA)
Like others said, the inflator is loud and vibrates like there is no tomorrow, but it is supposed to be used on the road in situations that do not happen too often; compressors and inflators more suited for daily use are out there. I carry this one on motorcycle excursions and I only had to use it two times. Both times it'd got the job done. I might say that the thing serves me well. I also want to say that form what I see, designers hadn't cut too many corners. The hose is replaceable; the nozzle on the hose looks cheap but works surprisingly well and does not leak air when I put it on and off the valve, like did the nozzles on Craftsman inflators that I had.
I especially like the use of SAE power connectors everywhere. I'd simply replaced the included cigarette lighter/SAE adapter with a Powerlet/SAE one that plugs into the Powerlet socket on my motorcycle. Some thought had obviously been given to the length of the power cord -- it is neither too long, nor too short, just the right length for virtually any motorcycle.

Works, does what it's suppose to March 28, 2010

The product worked fine for me. However, if your going to be filling multiple tires on a car, you need to let the compressor cool down before each tire, it gets hot enough to burn you at the base of the hose, where it connects to the compressor. Other than that, love the compact size, and attachment options. I would suggest this product.
 Extremely slow to inflate - received replacement December 26, 2009

I purchased Slime Power Sport Inflator in the Spring. Tried it to be sure it was working, but did not need much air at the time so did not test at length. About six weeks ago, a low tire pressure light came on in car, so I checked air pressure which was about 5 psi low in all tires, and used inflator. Took 2-3 minutes to boost pressure just 1 pound. Called Slime and was told that could happen, because the higher the pressure in the tire, the more resistance to the inflator, which they told me is not that powerful. I called a week later, was told that that rate was too slow, unit was probably defective so they agreed to send replacement at no cost. Just received yesterday so have not yet used. But if rate is too slow, your unit could be defective. If new one works at fasterrate, then it is worth it. If still too slow, it is not.
 Terribly flawed design... December 20, 2009

The beautiful packaging is in full contradiction with a product that, in a way, just can't work. I connected the unit to my battery with the cables provided. It could not reach the left-rear tire on a standard-size sedan! OK, so I plugged it into my in-car power outlet to try it out. The chuck was difficult to attach to to the tire valve -- and especially difficult to remove. (I was concerned that I would break the valve.) In any case, after a run of two minutes, the tire pressure was DOWN a pound and a half! I also noticed that the inflation hose was especially short. On my SUV, if the tire valve ended up in a topmost position, which it did on one tire, the inflator dangled; it could not touch the ground. When I decided to return the unit, it was impossible to repack the cables in the little plastic sack provided -- which did not surprise me because I could barely get them out. All in all, quite a disappointment because I really wanted this to work. Also, I have the feeling that this is really designed for motorcycles and should not be sold for cars, which is an application noted by the manufacturer. (I really hate to say this, but the product's brand name took on special meaning to me.)
