Pro-Force 3-Gallon Hot Dog Air Compressor w/ Inflation Kit

This is a nice little air compressor for the price. Don't expect to blow out your sprinkler system or run most air tools on it as it doesn't have the capacity- but again it wasn't meant to. It works great for keeping tires inflated and blowing the kids toys up.

I also like the air gun except the one that comes in the kit is of poor quality and mine leaked. But you can pick up a decent air gun online for about $6. Speaking of the kit most of the items are like the air gun (poor quality) so expect to have to spend a few more dollars buying some quality attachments that you will want.

One other problem I had with my unit was the drain plug on the bottom would leak air and loose pressure and drain the tank in a couple of hours. I called customer service and they told me there is an o-ring on the drain plug that probably needed to be replaced. So I had to take out the drain plug and replace the o-ring and now the problem is corrected.

Overall I would purchase this again for my needs. Cheers!

I bought this primarily to inflate our tires.

Since there were NO instructions about the attachments, it took me awhile to figure out what to attach to which in order to attempt to inflate a tire.

Of course it would be great if there were an in-line gauge as there is at the gas station, but I knew this didn't have such.

However, when I TRIED to inflate a tire, NO AIR WOULD COME and was only succeeding in DEFLATING the tire!

I finally reasoned that the PRESSURE in the tank was too high for the shaft in the tire valve to depress the corresponding shaft in the inflater.

After reading that one dial would change the maximum pressure, I tried turning it in the direction I thought meant 'less' only it turned out that INCREASED the pressure.

Again NO instructions or indicators, leaving the pressure setting a matter for only GUESSWORK!

For the time being, I ended up just turning the compressor on until it reached about 60# pressure in the tank then shut it off and inflated the tire until the pressure ran down, then turned it on again, etc. Heck of a way to inflate tires!!!

SO, I'm VERY unimpressed!

I had to replace a portable Campbell Hausfeld Hot Dog Air Compressor that served me well for a few years, for basic tasks like brad nailing, dust blowing and tire inflating. I liked if for low noise and light weight.

However, I was sometimes hoping it could provide more volume and pressure (for high pressure bicycle tires). After a few months of using the ProForce VPF1080318, I feel I found the perfect replacement.

It is my second happy purchase at Air Compressors Direct.

I've had this compressor for a couple of months now. It works fine, though it is a little slow and loud to fill the tank. Pressure is lost from the tank a rate of about 50 PSI a day, so even if I just want to fill a bike tire, I have to turn on the compressor every time - quite annoying.

The cheaper compressor that my Dad got from a chain store holds pressure much better. The air hose only comes with enough fittings to use one of the two attachments that the compressor comes with, so I will have to buy a hose fitting somewhere in order to use the air nozzle.

The quality is not worth the price. I wish I would have either bought a higher quality one or a cheap one from the chain store.

It was easy to set up and the auto power off when the tank is full and the auto restart is great.

It works better than I expected- I took out the spare tires in both cars and they inflated quickly. Had an old tankless pump which took a long time to fill up car tires.

You just have to make sure to use the Thread Sealant when you attach the pieces or the air will leak out.

Purchased back in September after my small portable inflator died. I wanted something with more power to blow up my car tires and do a quicker job then the old inflator I had and this compressor worked great.

I went out and purchased some more attachments for the unit to blow up pool inflatables etc. It works great, my kids loved how fast it blew up their pool toys. No more hand pump needed to blow up the pool inflatables and the kids are not standing and waiting anymore.

Good product, solidly built, shipping and packaging were great.

Wee bit noisy, but what compressors aren't?

Good all around medium duty compressor.

Did the job.

Good unit for inflation purposes. Shipped quick, would recommend.

I only needed a small compressor to fill a slow leak tire on our car. The pro Force is so much more.

I can fill the compressor, and put it in the trunk of the car and have air for many different things in the field where
there is no electric. It is light weight and small enough to put in the trunk of the car.

I had to call customer service to ask about a coupling on my pro force and they sent one to me right away. This was service that
is rare these days.

The service I received from Power Equipment Direct has made me a repeat customer.

Nice unit for the price.
