RAC900

I have had a Ring RAC750 for a couple of years and never been completely happy with it, I had assumed being mains powered it would be powerful and quick, but it wasn't. This year it has stopped working, I can hear an air-leak inside, but I could not figure out how to open it to access the internals. So, I decided to buy a new compressor. I was a bit dubious about a compressor powered off the car battery, but I need not have been. First impressions are that this RAC900 is a well made piece of equipment, presented in a really useful carry bag. I like especially that there are 2 compartments allowing to keep the hose separate from the compressor itself, and the smaller size of the compartment for the hose will help keep it tidy and untangled. One small but excellent improvement/addition would be a small pocket for the adaptors. The fitting to the tyre valve screws-on, which is very secure. am happy it does not use one of the fiddly fittings with a plastic lever to lock it in place (or let it fall off part way through, or wear out and stop locking). I had a car tyre that had deflated to less than 1 bar and it was pressured up to 2.2 bars in around 90 seconds using the RAC900. I am happy with the accuracy of the pressure gauge, I checked the reading against 2 hand-held gauges that I have, one dial gauge and one LCD electronic gauge. All readings agree. Once the air-hose is screwed onto the tyre valve, you can inflate and deflate the tyre without removing the fitting. Just stop the pump to check the tyre pressure reading. The instructions are very easy to follow. The power lead, and air hose are both well long enough to make using this compressor very straightforward and convenient. All round it is a well thought out piece of equipment, which is not always the case from any/all manufacturers. I highly recommend this pump. The RAC900 is almost everything the RAC750 isn't, and is well worth the additional cost. Edit: 4 Oct 2018...used this for around a month, and it is superb, I am VERY happy with it. I had a leaking tyre and this was handy to keep it topped up. I then deflated my tyres completely and added a chemical to each to seal small punctures (Goop - available on Amazon). Inflating each tyre from completely empty was a doddle. The carry case sits in the boot of my car, taking up little space and keeping everything handy, and tidy. I cannot recommend it highly enough. EDIT_ Feb 2019: still using this compressor. It is excellent and so much more convenient than trying to find a garage with a working airline, or then needing the correct coins. EDIT_May 2020: still using this, it lives in the boot of my car, a great piece of kit.

....on a compressor, and this is the one you should spend it on! I bought this after reading reviews on a few sites,not just on here. Nearly all said that this is an excellent piece of kit, and they were right. I bought this compressor because, as a caravan owner, I regularly need to inflate my car tyres at home and on site. I was fed up with paying £20 or more for 'top of the range' foot pumps, and having all of them wear out in no more than 18 months. So, add that up and it probably comes to more than I paid for this one. The compressor comes in a very useful bag, and the kit is lighter, smaller and quieter than I imagined. It inflates my tyres from around 30psi to 47 psi in about 2 1/2 minutes. Very quick and easy compared to anything else I have used at home. The couplings are all good quality and everything seems geared to professional use. The valve attachment is a screw thread, so you don't have to wait at the tyre when inflating. It can also be used to deflate as well. Check that you can access your battery easily because the unit cannot be plugged in to a lighter plug. I am very pleased with this kit. Only time will tell though........ I rated it as four stars because I have only owned it for a short while. 16/09/2012 I have changed the rating to five stars now. I have been using this for six months, and it is a quality product. Light enough to take away on caravanning holidays and certainly up to the job I bought it for.

I was looking for a compressor to pump up the tyres on my Land Rover and came across this. Most reviews seemed favourable so I thought I'd give it a go and so far I am very pleased with it. The unit is very well made, packs away neatly into it's own carrying bag and inflates tyres much faster than cheaper products. It is very quiet and doesn't have a habit of moving off down the driveway under it's own vibrations like other compressors that I have used. A couple of things to be aware of, the unit does get very hot - this is not a criticism as all compressors will. Also you need to switch the compressor off to get an accurate reading on the pressure gauge - the gauge is on one end of the airline and the on/off switch at the other. A little awkward perhaps and difficult to address but not really a problem unless you are too lazy to walk the length of the air line. In practice you soon get a feel for how much the gauge over reads during operation and don't need an accurate check. Also in the box were a couple of adapters for inflating footballs, airbeds etc. All in all I would say that it is well worth investing the extra money and buying this well built, quiet and efficient little compressor.

Needed a new inflator for 7.5 m Motorhome inflating up to 80 PSI small enough to stow away and big enough to cope, and this seemed to fit the bill. It connect to the Vans (Fiat Ducato) jumpstart point under the bonnet. With the long flex tail it just reaches both rear wheels. (About 6 m) I had to deflate the tyre to about 70 PSI to test it and it inflated back to 75PSI in very short time. Didn’t time it, but less than a minute so a great study product. Now for the negative. Would be great if the el cable were a bit longer, 7.5 m Motorhome is about the limit. The gauge is very inaccurate. You will need an alternative gauge to check the pressure. It would be nice if the gauge came with switch off. On this version you have to connect the tube. Walk back to pump to switch on, then return to check the pressure, which seems about 5-7 PSI above what you want, then return to the pump and switch off. (Or be two of you) In conclusion. The pump is great, the attachment has room for improvement.

brilliant pump, we purchased to use with high pressure tyres on our motorhome, would highly recomend. feels really well built and solid. very pleased.

Good product

Great compressor! Quiet and powerful. Superior to the two PI compressors I bought of which one burnt out topping of travel trailer tires. Allthough this one is triple the price of the popular PI but we’ll worth it based on my experience.

Excellent produit, gonfle rapidement, puissant! A voir dans le temps! Je recommande

Das erste Gerät hatten wir uns vor 3 Jahren für die 33*12,5/15 Zoll Reifen unseres Wrangler geholt. Diesen fahren wir im schwierigen Gelände mit lediglich 0,7 bar. Zum Aufpumpen auf 2bar nach dem Geländeeinsatz braucht der Kompressor je Reifen ca. 3-4 Minuten. Das ist bei diesem Volumen durchaus OK. Vorsicht ist geboten, weil er sauheiß wird - aber dafür kann man ihn ja am Bügel tragen. Die Thermosicherung hat bei mir noch nicht ausgelöst - trotz Umgebungstemperatur von weit über 30 Grad und Aufpumpen aller 4 Reifen ohne Pause. Das Zubehör finde ich sehr ok, das Manometer ist hinreichend genau (mit digitalem Prüfer gegengecheckt) - insbesondere mag ich den Ventilanschluß, der im Gegensatz zu den normalen Klemmanschlüssen selbständig und sicher hält. Ich bin diese Art Anschluß von den HD Pumpen für Luftfederbeine, Sattelstützen etc gewohnt und habe keine Probleme mit großem Druckverlust beim Abziehen. Korrekte Bedienung vorausgesetzt! Aufgrund der guten Erfahrungen hat jetzt das gleiche Gerät noch mal Einzug gehalten, Nr.1 hat seinen festen Platz im Jeep, Nr. 2 ist immer im Auto dabei, wenn es auf Tour geht, zum schnellen Aufpumpen der MTB Reifen, Anpassung des Luftdrucks in den Reifen von Motorrad- und Jetskitrailer etc. Selbst die 7bar für die HD Schläuche der Tublis Einsätze an den Enduros schafft er zügig. Von mir daher 5 Sterne!

Supera las expectativas, lo uso para todo, incluido vehiculos agricolas y funciona de maravilla.
