    Don't have that model - but had a couple almost identical similar brands - work well - very noisy mind - but its only for a couple minutes.

    Just careful when using to pump lots of Water Bottle Rockets -

    it can leave your car battery flat :)

    Have a previous incarnation of one of these from Lidl, grand little compressor for when you get stick, but as mentioned, they are pretty noisy!

    Two tips for small compressors, start it before attaching to the valve, the stall torque and current trying to start against pressure will damage it and blow fuses. If you knock the lead and it stops then disconnect from the valve before starting again.

    You have to stick rigidly to the duty cycle, if it says max 15 mins then thats the max you need to let it cool down completely before using again. i.e. no inflating air mattresses etc.

    Get some slime for the ride on, the tyres on mine are about 10years old and porous wouldn't last one cut, put slime in them 2 years ago and have't pumped them since.

    How long is the lead to the cigarette lighter, Is there a good length to get to all tyres on a car?

    On the one I got, the lead is pretty long, can reach all the wheels easily.
