Reviews: VIAIR 450PA Automatic Portable Air Compressor Kit - 45043

Solid unit. Does not heat up like other air compressor after airing up 4 33” tires. 100% constant duty is definitely worth the money. We’ll see how long it will last.

A bit nervous about purchasing this as it’s not exactly cheap but you get what you pay for. It’s super quiet and a pleasure to use. Really happy with the purchase and I am sure as this is great quality it will be running in 10years time.

I love this compressor. I burned out one of those cheaper compressors from another store and it left me having to drive 20 miles on 5PSI.. that experience had me wanting to spend better money on a compressor. I've used this things in the summer/winter and its always quick. The only issue i've found is that it takes a little while for it to cool down. I guess thats to be expected.

Unit is not going to win any beauty contests from a standpoint of finish quality -looks much like Japanese products of the 1960s. That being said it blows harder than a 40’ whale and inflates a tire in no time. Very powerful , amazingly quiet, no vibration and it’s easy to use. Super long high quality hose and study battery clamps. The 100% duty cycle is a must when inflating all four air downed tires. 4wheelparts had a great price and their usually fine service. Hopefully it will last many years.

Quiet, powerful, kit is perfect, portability with bag etc. at 100% duty and 150psi on tap, this is the best and the fastest air up unit in the market at this pricing. ARB is overrated and over priced compared to this unit in this class. Lets do a side by side performance test with any brand and you will grab this unit immediately 100% after seeing what this portable comp can do. I owned an ARB and. Smitty (almost got another Smitty) and it did not even come close, sold both to a friend who is brand loyal but I am happy with Viair 450PA. It stops then runs as you squeeze the trigger and works on my little air tool.

I agonized for some time about where to mount a compressor permanently. I'm happy with the portable decision. More versatile and protected from the elements. Setup is quick and only downside to portable unit is storing the hot unit after using.

Easy to use and extremely durable!

I bought this to air up my tires after off roading in my Ford Raptor, and haven't been dissapointed with it yet! The carrying bag is probably my favorite feature, as it keeps all the gear together and dust free. Connecting the unit is as easy as it gets, and the air up times are respectable. To air up my 4-36" tires from 32psi. to 45psi., takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on how often you check the pressure and how good the seal is. The included tire chuck/pressure guage is good, not great, as it can be slightly off a few psi. plus or minus. I also found the 90 degree locking chuck, requires a bit of finger strength to lock onto the valve stem. Not a major complaint by far, just a little hiccup on a great product. I've currently replaced the included chuck with a more accurate, digital unit, that's also easier to attach to the tire. However, I still keep the original with the kit, just in case. The biggest complaint I have, is that it can get really HOT!! Even after just 4 tires, the compressor body can be too hot to touch. If you're not careful, you could give yourself a pretty righteous blister. Overall, a great product and I would definitely buy from VIAIR and 4 Wheel Parts again!

Nice kit, powerful compressor and comes with standard air fittings that fit all my existing air tools. Purchased a small die grinder with cutting wheels for emergency use and this comprssor holds its own, although a small air storage tank would definately be helpful.

We use this to aireat a five hundred gal. fish release tank, works great.

It works great

Use Every Trip... Fastest fill i've used with out having a head tank or build-in system... Discharge on compressor puts out alot of heat after four 35's on a warm day... Can burn/injure if not properly handled... May need a few mins of cool time before storing... Very Pleased and worth the money

This compressor is ideal for airing up your tires after a day of 4 wheeling. You can inflate a set of 35's in minutes and be on your way. The heavy duty design and carrying case allows it to take lots of abuse while bouncing around in the back of your Jeep.

Great value for your money, powerful compressor that gets the job done.
