I've run my MV50 filling 12 35" tires in a row with no issues. On average, after a wheeling trip, I use it to fill my tires and my brother in laws with no break in between tires. Yes it gets hot but I've never had any issues with it. Average fill time for a 35" tire to go from 12psi to 26psi is 2 minutes. Not bad for short money.

Thanks for the all the input everyone 
. I decided on the MV50 and just placed an order on amazon for $58. I think it's definately worth it and can't wait to use it off road. I'm thinking I will mount it at some point

There are several models of the Viair. Which one is the best deal at the under $100 range? Are they all mountable?
I found the MV50 on Amazon for under $60. Might be a great starter compressor for me if nothing else.
BTW, I know some of these are rated up to a certain amount of air pressure limit. I'm eventually going up to 35's so whichever compressor I choose will need to be able to handle that size tire and its air pressure needs.

Ur not gonna regret ur decision. I went with the MV50 and couldn't be happier with it. If ur just using it to fill up tires after a day of wheeling, then it's more than sufficient. And u can't beat the price!

They're even better if you drill and tap the head for standard 1/4" NPT fittings. That way you can use normal fittings and hose instead of that little/cheap/goofy stuff that comes with it.
Do a Google search on something like "MV50 compressor NPT mod". You should find hits on various forums.
