Good Air compressor By JohnK The air compressor is small and inexpensive. It's unfortunate that Amazon's shipping charges cost more than the product itself. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Cheap and functional By M. Hansen You get what you pay for, but given my history for destroying compressors at AutoX events, this is a completely functional, if slow, compressor. See all 4 customer reviews...

Most helpful customer reviews 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Great road-side and Camping tool By Devin C. Adint I bought this unit about 2 years ago and it has worked great. Some people have issues with using the jump start but mostly this is due to not following the instructions in the manual. To jump start the unit charges a capacitor. When you attach it to you battery you have about 30 sec to attempt a turn-over. Then you have to wait for the capacitor to charge before attempting another turn-over. I have used this unit to jump start the car and when my battery went completely dead I was able to plug it into the lighter so it could back feed power to the system to keep the car running while I drove to a repair shop. I had power go out while moving into our new home four years ago and used my father's unit to power two lamps and a radio for the painters. Which is what lead me to buy one. I have also used it camping. Recently I did break off the compressor hose nozzle, bummer so I will be purchasing another unit. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. awsome and powerfull By davecon1 this unit is awsome!...it holds a charge for weeks,and the power on this is more than enough to do what you need to do in an emergency or for casual use. we ran our kids movie player and our laptop in the car for a six hour trip. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Awesome product : does what is says Great for Camping By Peter C. Moran Bought this 2 years ago for a several day long camping trip. It ran our radio for the entire trip with juice to spare. It also charged serveral cell phones during the trip. (used the cigarette lighter outlet with a USB adapter as well as a direct plug-in) I have also jumped the battery on my Honda Odyssey van at least ten times with it. (My daughters leave the reading lights on overnight) I have inflated countless bike tires for my kids as well as several neighborhood children. Great product all around.

Most helpful customer reviews 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Has never let me down By Michael Everett I use a power inverter to charge my cell phone, my air mattress pump, my cameras, and my laptop while on the road. The first inverter I bought lasted all of maybe two days, so to replace it I resolved to do more thorough research. When I checked out Schumacher's site, I discovered they had a vast line of power supply equipment, much of it for industrial use. My assumption was their small consumer inverters would be built to industrial standards as well and might last longer than my first one. I was not disappointed. The PI-200 has been my constant traveling companion over thousands of miles of roads and has never failed me, plus it has about as many features as you could ask for. 200 watts is more than enough for charging the items that travel with me. It also features a low battery alarm should it drain the source battery below a certain level. But don't think that means you can continue to pull power through your car's cigarette lighter after the car is shut down for the simple reason that turning off your ignition also turns off the power to your cigarette lighter The workaround for this would be to find an adaptor going from a female cigarette lighter to two clips. Then attach the clips to the battery and plug into the other end of the adaptor. Then keep your inverter handy and shut it off if and when the low battery alarm goes off. Built like a tank. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Just what I needed By Daniel S. Goleach I work out of a truck all day with no radio. I have to rely on a battery operated radio. But with this inverter, I just have to plug it in to the cigarett lighter and I have radio all day. It's super. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. AC Power Inverter Review By Jennifer D. Waddell I received this shipment very fast...received brand new in original packaging. Works great! I just plug it into the cigarette lighter port I like the fact that you can turn it on and off rather than having to unplug it each time you don't want to use it. I like having it in my car for my daughter's nebulizer in case she has a bad asthma attack she can have her treatment right there in the car. See all 9 customer reviews....

Great customer service By mrz I received the earlier version of this product (PKC0BL) about a year and a half ago for a gift. Just recently the air compressor stopped pumping air. It still ran, but would not inflate. I called 1-800-477-5847 to see what options I had since the 90 day warranty was over. Even though the warranty had long expired, they sent a new one to me at no cost. Now that is customer service I rarely see these days. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. my peak time was great By darylg I researched this type of item for weeks hoping I would choose the right one; so far I feel like I made the right choice. It has performed perfectly since I got it. I have aired my yukon tire up (6-8 min.), I jumped my boat off for the first time this season, and I played the radio all day out on the lake, so I have to give it 5 stars. If you realize it has its limitations and dont try to exceed those limitations this will be one of the handiest items you ever purchase 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Could not charge battery purchased from Amazon By corddogs The battery charged the first time. We used the DC outlets. When I tried to recharge the battery, it only partially charged and lost this charge overnight (without use). I've tried a couple of more times to charge it, but the charge does not hold.I am very disappointed in this product. Since it cannot be returned to Amazon, I have to contact the manufacturer to file a claim. Prices of battery jumpstarters on Amazon are good, but since they can't be returned, you have to hope that you are one of the lucky ones that gets a battery that works.I would not buy another battery from Amazon, nor would I buy this brand again.

By DeeMee One reviewer said it was complicated. I agree the controls and labels are unintuitive. Not informative in a clear manner. But the operation is pretty simple. A few minutes reading the instructions make sit clear enough. A couple of uses and it all makes sense. This unit can check your alternator, tell you if a battery has an open or shorted cell. It can recondition batteries suffering from sulfanation. It will charge at 25 amps which is faster than many chargers. Plus it can put out 75 amps for a short time to give a quick boost. All in all a good charger for many purposes. I will deduct one star for the non-intuitive design which easily could have been made a non-issue. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This does NOT have an Air Compressor...and very complicated By GrassRootsShop This does NOT have an Air Compressor as stated on the Amazon page. And even if it did I would still return it as it is very complicated. The user manual is a nightmare. There is no easy quick start instructions Perhaps this is appropriate for a Profession car mechanic. Nothing easy or intuitive about the unit or the manual. This is likely a quality product from B&D, but seems like a collage class is necessary to use the damn thing. I plugged it in, I got a bunch of flashing lights, beeping, and codes on the LED screen. Forget it. See all 4 customer reviews....

Customer more useful in 10 of 10 people found this review helpful. Piece By Colby total JUNK Szatva The people who write good reviews for this expensive piece of garbage must have been strawpersons for the producer! This thing is garbage. The nozzle of the tube compressor is a worthless piece of plastic that just is not strong enough or firmly enough to push the stem of a tire valve. The compressor is "classified" as "260 PSI", but this is a joke and should be simply because the instrument has a superior marking of "260" on it. In fact, this unit could not even deliver 40 PSI in my tires car! Besides this, the terminal of the battery just took out the first time I tried to connect it to a car battery. A closer look reveals this is not a big surprise in view of the cheap plastic used to make delicate terminals. Now I have an expensive piece of junk that can not be returned. ATTENTION BUYER ...

Total Piece of JUNK By Colby Szatva The people who wrote good reviews for this expensive piece of garbage must have been strawpersons for the manufacturer! This thing is junk. The nozzle on the compressor hose is a worthless piece of plastic that's barely strong enough or situated firmly enough to push in the stem on a tire valve. The compressor is "rated" as "260 PSI" but this is a joke and must be simply because the gauge has an upper marking of "260" on it. In reality this unit could not even deliver 40 PSI into my car tire! On top of that, the battery terminal clamp snapped right off the very first time I attempted to hook it to a car battery. Closer inspection revealed this as no great surprise in view of the cheap brittle plastic used to make the clamps. Now I have an expensive piece of junk that cannot be returned. BUYER BEWARE...
