Has anyone bought one of these compressors?
Are they worth it?
72lpm sounds good.

I have one but i never brought it someone in my family gave it to me but hey it works and when it dies i will go and by a good one.
Has inflated my tyres up multtple times with no issues but you do get what you pay for so expect it to die sooner than later

Im wondering how it would compare with the better brands that cost 3x more.

NOTE : Last post 2005 NOW 2008 so the EBAY compressor I've bought ( Blue Tongue Buget or True Blue for $150 ) is probably differant
but sounds the same and looks the same as the Max air from Bushranger.
I have a Suzuki Vitara with 225/70 normally pumped up at 28psi.
The test went as follows:
Car running Battery volts 14.21v compressor off.
Compressor running volts dropped down to 13.45v and slowly dropped until it reached 12.45v.
This test ran continuously , I pumped each tyre for 1minute 20 seconds each, switching the the compressor off to change tyres witch took 10 seconds TOTAL TIME 5 minutes 50 seconds.
First tyre 32psi
Second trye 30.5 psi
Third Tyre 30 psi
Forth tyre 29.5 psi
As I only drive a Suzki for fun on weekends this compressor will do the job. NOTE the compressor did get to hot to touch. To hot for my liking. If I had bigger tyres than I 'd be wishing that i would have bought a oringinal Blue Tongue that can be run continuouslly.
Hope this is helpfull Peter
