Good to have on the road,
I have been looking for a portable tire inflator I can use for my motorcycle and with the lack of choices, I deicded to give the Slime Tire Inflator a try. The inflator is really small (a little larger than the palm as the picture indicates) and comes with a case that fit all the wires and the unit itself. The unit draws power only from the battery so you can’t plug it into a power outlet from your house. You can either draw power with the alligator clip, a pre wired power source (just like the ones from battery tender), or from a cigarette lighter source. Operation is pretty simple too. You just connect the hose to the unit, connect the power cable and draw power from the battery from whatever one of the three above methods and flip the power switch on the unit.
Now the bad… since it’s being labeled as a portable inflator, the casing of the unit look very cheap and filmsy. Just like the previous reviewer mentioned, the unit is obnoxiously loud and vibrates like crazy. Finally, it did take almost 5 minutes to inflate my motorcycle tire from 20 to 30psi so I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone trying it on much larger car tires. The owners manual did say that users should not use the unit for more than 8 minutes at a time which I assume wouldn’t even be sufficient to add 5 psi of air into a car tire.
Overall, I think the product does a good job of inflating small tires on the go but I am very concerned about its useable life. With the way the unit vibrates while inflating tires and the filmsy looking case, I would not place much confidence on it to last forever. However, if you own a motorycle/ATV and need an inflator on the go, I would suggest this product since a few tube of air catridges cost just as much as this.

|Must have if you ride!,
This is a neat little addition to any bag of motorcycle gear. This little kit is small enough to toss in your bag and forget you have until you need it. The air pressure gauge feels a little cheap, but that is something you can fix by purchasing another one for a couple bucks. The compressor itself feels very solid, but makes a ton of noise when in use. But this isn’t a problem for me, especially since I ride a 600cc lawnmower. The kit comes with a nice assortment of connectors to a power source. I don’t know that I would go this small for a car tire. I believe that Slime makes large models for bigger applications. For a motorcycle, it works fine. Took about 45 seconds or so to pump my rear tire from 28 PSI to 36 PSI.
