Customer Reviews
Before purchase, check your car socket amps!
I'm writing this review because the Amazon description doesn't inform you that you NEED 15 amps to power the device as clearly stated in the owner's manual. Unfortunately, I didn't know this before purchase so when I plugged it into my Honda Pilot which only supplies 10 amps, it didn't work. I called Slime customer service who confirmed that all their products require 15 amps.
Check your car owner's manual to make sure your power socket supplies 15 amps!
I'm giving it 5 stars because the device itself looks very high quality with a nice storage case. Slime customer service was also speedy and helpful. Too bad the Amazon item description was inadequate.
UPDATE: I have since bought the Black & Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator which works great with my car.
Slime Pro Power air compressor 12 volt
Great carry case, well made, very fast tire inflation, a good buy. Works well on larger SUV type tires. Not a cheesy, cheap compressor.
Slime Time!
I drive a pick-up truck daily. Not your 'ordinary' truck mind you... mine has 38" mud tires (yeah one of THOSE trucks). One late summer morning I sauntered out to the driveway to fire-up the beast and noticed that one of my tires was flat.
Bummer... these babies run $300+/each.
I had a tire inflator in my Bride's car and attempted to inflate my tire. Attempted being the key word. After nearly frying her unit I ended up borrowing a neighbor's portable compressor to inflate my tire.
This little life distraction caused me to search for a portable inflation device that would work well on larger tires. Happily I stumbled upon the SLIME unit and it's listed as PRIME! Prime Slime... sounds like a bad garage band.
Sorry - ADD bicycle ride there.
Anyway I ordered the unit and it magically appeared the next day at my office. Dying to try it out I took it out to my truck, went home and fired-up my home compressor (bought one due to the little mishap above) as a 'just in case' back-up plan. I deflated the tire about 50% and hooked-up the SLIME.
The case is a nicely designed storage device with a frontal pouch for the long green hose. Plug the SLIME unit into any cigarette adapter/power port and you're ready for the show. The tire chuck screws on to the stem (GREAT feature) and you just flip the switch and let the compressor do its thing. I did not time this but the tire did inflate in a 'reasonable' amount of time. Slower than my compressor for sure but galactically faster than my Bride's unit in her car. The numbers on the dial are easy to read and are accurate (tested the psi against 2 other tire gauges). After I achieved the desired psi I switched-off the unit, unscrewed the chuck and rolled it all up.
Also included in the pack are several inflation needles and adapters for pool floats, soccer/football/basket balls or your favorite blow-up toy...
Just the other day I was enjoying a hamburger in the parking lot of What-a-Burger when a couple pulled-in with a flat tire. After I finished my burger (I was nearly finished and it was GOOOOD) I drove over and offered to help. They asked if I had a 'pump' and I said [John Lovitz voice]YES I do...!!![/John Lovitz voice], hooked-up their tire and in a few short minutes was able to air them up and send them on the way. I didn't save any baby ducks, rescue any puppies or deliver a child but I did help save the day!
They need to include a spare cape for us Super Hero's.... mine was at the cleaners.
