Review: Did not arrive - Very poor delivery service. Impossible to contact seller or delivery company. Great product but don't buy it from here.
Review: I air down for beach sand travel in my e450 class C rv with LT225/75/16s. that's 6 tires from 80/65 to 15psi on the way in, and of course, on the way out, it's time to air up for the pavement ride home. I was a bit hesitant to go with a 12v setup like this as all the other guys bring their eu3000s and home pancake compressors to air up. I don't have that kind of storage space so I needed something smaller. It has never cycled on me/over heated given i'm on the beach in the blazing sun most of the time and do 6 tires, not 4. It gets me to 50psi pretty quick - 3 min or so a tire. And i usually do this. Get them all up to 50, so that IF it fails, at least i can hobble my way to a gas station at 20mph and top off there best i can the rest of the way. 80 in 2 and 15 in 4 is not useful. 50-65 and 50-80 take a bit more, about another 3-4 min a piece. The pump has never let me down, but my battery has. I plug into the house battery for the drivers side and use a jump box for the passenger side. This gives me enough juice to get the job done. It's been through several cycles, been in the sand, salty ocean sand, and she hasn't let me down yet. I'm happy with it. I was between this and the viair, but this one was both cheaper and put out more cfm. The gauge isn't accurate- but it's reliably inaccurate. it's like 8 psi off as tested with 2 other gauges. That's fine now that i know it. perhaps the stick just wasn't zero'ed out correctly. know what it is and it's fine. but could surprise someone. maybe it's just mine.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It sounds like this item comes with several accessories? seller - why can't you just include those in the description?  why do i have to find in q&a?**
A: Mine 2780 came with the accessories 🤷
The bag is garbage came ripped one area

**Q: Advertised at 5.65 cfm and 72 liters per minute but does not equal each other. what gives? 72 liters per minute = 2.542656 cubic feet per minute.**
A: The 72 lpm number is for the 2780 model compressor.  The Smittybilt site describes the 2781 as 160 lpm, which does work out to 5.65 cfm.

**Q: What is the compressor maximum pressure?  What does the max pressure safety valve on the compressor blow at?**
A: I've got 2 of these compressors feeding into a 3gal tank (and controlled by a 120/90 psi pressure switch), and have found that the pressure relief valves on both compressors pop at between 115-120 psi, unfortunately. I just ordered a couple of new 165psi safety valves to swap them out for.

**Q: HOW LONG ARE THE ELECTRICAL LEADS ?**
A: 7 feet and some inches.  with heavy duty clamps. we removed the clamps and installed a jumper cable adapter. This way I do not have to raise the hood nor scratch up the battery terminals. also replaced the coil hose with a straight hose.

El producto está buenísimo, aunque la manguera de inflado se ve de baja calidad. El tiempo de inflado por llanta es de no más de 2 minutos, muy buena opción
