Operating Instructions:

  1. Make sure the power switch is at OFF position and the vehicle engine is running.
  2. Remove the dust cap from the tire valve, and then attach the air chuck to the tire valve stem, and screw onto tire’s valve stem.
  3. Plug the power cord into a 12V cigarette lighter socket.
  4. Press (M) button to choose the display unit. (4 units available: PSI, KPA, BAR, KG/CM). Press (-) or (+) button to set the desired pressure, and then wait until it stops flashing.
  5. Turn on the power switch. The compressor will automatically stop inflating once the desired pressure is reached.
  6. When the desired pressure is reached, turn OFF the power.

Valve connector detaching with desired pressure:

When you detach the valve connector, the tire valve would keep releasing air until the connector is fully detached. It's normal and can be accepted by setting up desired psi value on the machine. For example when you set 32 psi, the machine will keep pumping to 32.5 psi before it stops which consider the loss will be happening when you detach the valve connector.

Really Good Air Pump that would save you time and effort.
5 Stars
Really Good Air Pump that would save you time and effort.
I should have bought this pump long ago and that would save me so much time and effort. I check my tire pressure regularly and I normally do it at home instead of in the gas stations. I have two air pumps already but I misplaced one. The other one is one that came with my NSX NA1 which is used to inflate a small deflected mini spare. It is a very small unit. I have been using this little air pump since I could not locate my other one. I have multiple cars and I am tired of unpacking and packing this air pump in and out of the tiny storage in the trunk. The pump gets hot after using so I have to wait till it has cooled down before I could pack it back in that space. I gave up looking for my other pump so I looked for a tire pump in Amazon. Of course, I read the reviews and picked one with as much reviews and stars as possible. This is indeed a good move.I have various tire pressure gages because I have a Motorcycle with the valve stem difficult to check correctly. My other pumps do not have this auto stop feature. That means that I have to guess how much air pressure that I am pumping into the tires and disconnect the air pump. Then I check the tire pressure with an air pressure gage. It the air pressure is not enough, I have to pump some more and checked again. If the air pressure is too much, I need to let some air out and recheck it. This is such a time-consuming process. With this new pump, I just set the desired air pressure and turn it on. The pump would just stopped at the set pressure. The first time I used it, I watch the gage like a hawk. The air pump would reach the set pressure and kept pumping for a few seconds before it stopped. On the fourth tire, it stopped half a psi over the set pressure. I just unscrew the hose fitting and let out a little air. The beauty of this air pump is that the built-in digital air pressure gage would display air pressure as long as it is connected. I do not even need an air pressure gage. The other pump that I could not locate also has an air pressure gage but it is an analog one which is useless as the pointer would be bouncing all over the place when the pump is operating.The reason that the pointer would bounce is that the air pump itself is bouncing up and down. This EPAuto Air Compressor Pump does not bounce. It sits on four rubber feet and runs rather smooth. There is much less noise than my other pumps.There is a light on the pump which is a nice touch. This could be used as a flash light as long as it is plugged into the cigarette lighter socket.Due to the in-line digital air pressure gage, I can plug in the air pressure pump and check my tire pressure. The readout is easy to read.This air pump could eliminate the need of a separate air pressure gage and a flash light.There are a couple of things that could be improved. The pump itself is fine. The storage bag could be a little bigger and there should be a small accessory pocket within the storage bag. These small accessories could be easily misplaced. I was going to put them in a small pouch but I already misplaced them. I do have to look for them at a later date as there is a spare fuse in there.

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020
We went on a small get-away this fall in the West Virginia mountains. Things there are located FAR apart, including gas stations so when the tire light came on we struggled to find anywhere within an hour drive where we could get our tires checked.

We decided to find something to avoid the worry of not knowing if the tire is bad or how to fix it. Turned out we just needed to put air in it, so this mobile unit seemed perfect. Small, fits in the back without taking a lot of space, but comes with a long cord so you don't need additional accessories. The unit arrived quickly and testing it was a breeze. Well, it takes a while (that's a very optimistic way of putting it) to setup and inflate the tires. For our SUV it was about 20 minutes from start to finish - setting it up, 4 tires getting about 4PSI added to them, and packing it up again. It's not fast - but that's not why you want this. You can now check your tires regardless of how far there is to the next gas station (hoping they have compressed air).

The unit is light and very easy to operate. But because it's small and has long wires, it's a bit of a challenge to get the wires tucked in so it fits in the bag. You have to screw in hose into the tire - that did take me a few minutes the first time to figure out. Once inserted, the pump will start measuring the current pressure. Now, this will take a while - it went up from about 25PSI to 28PSI before it stopped at one time - that's before you start pumping air. Then all you have to do is turn it on and it starts pumping while you wait. It pumps VERY slowly as the PSI increases. But it gets there.

The unit has a memory - you can set how much pressure to put in the tire. I haven't seen the unit STOP when it reaches the number, but it does stop increasing the pressure according to the display. Once you're done with a tire, you turn the unit off (the light will stay on all the time it's hooked up), unscrew the hose from the tire and move to the next tire, rinse and repeat. We have a small Prius and a SUV - in both cases the electric rod is not long enough to reach around the car - meaning as you move from the driver side to the passenger side you have to drag the unit through the car - not over/above. But for both vehicles doing so gives you plenty of cable to reach each tire without any obstructions. The hookup seems far enough for most cars even though you have to go through the car to get to the passenger side.

It's a great road-side pump - good for long travels.

Note - the unit does get warm - close to hot - after being used for 15 minutes inflating 4 tires (yes it's slow!). But it has a good handle so you don't have to touch the metal side.

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2022
I already had a similar product by a manufacturer named Fortem. I bought this EP-Auto product for my son. If you like this design by EP-Auto, great. I prefer the square physical characteristic of the Fortem --- just makes it easier to store in the car. But either is fine, because they are both small. The main difference to me, is the connector that attaches the inflation hose to the valve on the tire. The designs are very different, and I definitely prefer one over the other. The type on the Fortem is just easier, where you just push in onto the valve and lock it in with the little lever. The type on this AP-Auto is the type that you screw on, which is slower, and a little more awkward. I just used the AP-Auto, and it was freezing outside. I had to take off my gloves to properly grip the little twiste valve, and it was still a little awkward putting on, and removing. The type on the Fortem would have allowed me to keep my gloves on, and even then done it quicker, more easily, and with a much more consistent and predictable air loss upon removal from the valve.

I'm not saying the Fortem is better than the AP-Auto as a whole. I'm just saying that the way they attach to the valve on the tire is different, so be aware of that difference as you pick a similar unit.

Overall the AP-Auto seems great. It sounds more quite and better quality, inflates a little faster, and less harsh/rattly than the Fortem. It actually feels and sounds like a better pump. But I do not like the hose connector. If I buy any others in the future, I will chose one with the connector type similar to the one on the Fortem. Be aware of that difference when chosing. If you like this design on this AP-Auto AND you prefer the valve connector that is comes with, then I would have no reservations recommending it.

I bought this for occasional tire maintenance. Thus far is has worked flawlessly. Once every week or so, I'll plug it in and air up the tires as needed, usually only a few psi needed. When I'm checking oil, coolant etc. this little compressor has become part of that process and I find it very useful.

I have used it on two different cars and one full-size SUV. The instructions say it's not designed for use on bigger SUV's (and probably pickup trucks) but if you're only going from 32 up 35 psi, it works just fine. I would be cautious airing up a big tire that was quite low, this unit would likely melt.

The instructions say that it shuts off when the preset pressure is reached, but it doesn't completely shut off, the unit continues to run but it bypasses so no more air goes into the tire.

It was discount by about $12.00 when I purchased it, so the price point was very good.

Keep in mind that it's a small unit and it won't last forever, but I highly recommend getting one.

This air compressor worked pretty well for maybe six months. A couple of gripes: it was a little fiddly screwing onto and off the tyre so that you always lost a bit of air; the pressure sensor didn't work well for footballs so that it wouldn't inflate then unless you set the sensor high and then had to guess when they had enough air.

Then after about six months the valve broke and I had to throw it away

I bought this as safety precaution, and recently used it to pump up some soccer balls. It seems easy to use and has enough power for normal inflating jobs. Kind of hard determining the exact number of PSI to use for each thing you inflate, but otherwise a good tool to have around.
