After I Buy Bon-Aire i8000 Goodyear 120-Volt Direct Drive Tire InflatorWhy I like this tire inflator:
1. It plugs into any 120 volt outlet. I have 12 volt inflators and they have their place, but cannot compare to this unit.
2. It's fast. I just inflated a wheelbarrow tire from 5 psi to 30 psi in about 45 seconds.
3. The pressure gauge is accurate. One of my 12 volt inflators is off by 10 psi (under).
4. The screw-on valve is not as bad as you would think. It will only bleed one or two psi off a normal tire while its removed.
5. The screw-on valve is far superior to the clamp-on type. I feel that more air is lost when unclamping. Also, the wheelbarrow valve stem was too short for a clamp-on.
6. It comes with numerous inflation adapters.
What I don't like:
1. I would prefer a ball-type valve rather than the screw-on.
2. It seems to struggle as it approaches 30 psi. I worry that it won't be able to handle the 70 psi required for my bicycle tires. Nowhere in the operator's manual or on the box does it give the maximum pressure rating. The pressure gauge goes up to 150 psi, but that's meaningless.
Overall I'm very pleased. It should do just fine with normal tire pressures up to 38 psi.
