Damn $200 is a bit much for as often as I'd use it... But I have hear MANY good things about them. I'm gonna go on Amazon and read reviews of the first one suggested. I know you get what you pay for but $200 is getting close to bumper money or them one I want... To many wants not enough $$$

I bought my MV50 at the local Northern Tool. I have used it once. Aired up fast but gets hot.

I spent the day reading reviews, and a lot were happy with it, those that weeny complains of it heating up quick and loss of power fairly quickly after getting it and only a few uses. I know I won't use it often so may be worth it to give it a try...

I just recieved my Viair 88p. Paid 70 for it shipped. Aired down a 35" tire to about 12 psi hooked it up and it was back to 30 psi in just under 2 minutes. The compressor did get pretty hot, but I think it's expected from smaller compressors alike. I went with the Viair because of the price and the support/warranty from the company.

I have the Viair 88p too and am happy with it. I inflated 8 32 in tires from 12 to 33 psi. It did get pretty hot after four, so had to cool it down before using it again. Paid under $70. Viair has a chart to show you how long it'll take to inflate different size tires, which is helpful.
