Steve's Recommendation
This is a great entry-level air compressor for the occasional user.
Light weight and portable, it will do a great job keeping your tires and sports balls inflated.

I felt like I should replace my 30 year old Campbell Hausfeld with a new one and chose the two gallon compressor. My old one had no tank and worked very well for all these decades. Hundreds of bike tires, thousands of inflatable balls, and a few car tires. Sounds like the new two gallon one doesn't do car tires very good, so I better hold onto my old reliable Campbell Hausfeld.

Mistake
The air compressor I bought will not fill my portable tank to fill it in case of emergency I should have bought a larger compressor it is not compatable for me.It is probably good for a bicycle tire or air brush detail.I cannot afford a nother purchase right now to upgrade now.

Not " good enough" at all !!!
I hate to give a bad review. This compressor is a great idea, but it does not have near enough power to pump up truck tires.
We went camping with our RV trailer, and my F-250 (tow vehicle) tire was almost flat due to a screw in the tire. This is a 10 ply tire that is rated for 80 psi.
We plugged the compressor into the generator,and let the compressor pump up. It took an hour to pump the tire from 20 psi to 80 psi in the heat of the day in the California desert.
The pump is just not strong enough. SORRY!!!
ACD RESPONDS: Most inflators are meant for household use. Cars and SUV tires average 32 to 35 psi, which this inflator handles with ease. Because it does not push a high volume of air, it did inflate the tire, just not as quickly as you would have liked in the heat.
There are special RV inflators that can handle the high (70-120 psi) pressure and high volume of RV and diesel pusher tires. They are rather pricey, and can be found at large RV suppliers.

This unit is good enough for most home projects. I used it to install baseboards and trim on a house I remodeled using a CH 1.25 inch brad nail gun.
It is great for small inflation jobs; slow to inflate automobile tires, but will do the job if necessary.
It works great with a mini palm nailer and will drive a 3.5 inch framing nails easily in 2x4s. I also used it to clear a clogged air conditioner drain line.

Perfect for trimming my home!
I used an entry level air compressor to finish the trim work in my home. It was a Campbell Hausfeld given to me by a friend, and I wore it out.
I have recently purchased my own and I look forward to it arriving.
Great Product!!

Campbell Hausfeld 2-Gallon Hot Dog Air Compressor Review
I would not recommend buying this compressor to inflate tires, it is much to slow.
I bought it for this purpose and was very disappointed.
About ten minutes are needed for a 15 inch tire. It will do it if you have a lot of time.
