The price of this inflator gave me pause as I debated on whether or not to spend that kind of money. I have a couple of other inflators/compressors. One runs off of electricity so it needs to be plugged in to a wall socket. It works well but it is a hassle to use since you need an extension cord to reach all the tires. The other one was one of those small portable ones which just poops out unless you only need a couple of pounds of air. So I bought this Etenwolf and am glad I did. It is totally worth the money. The construction quality is excellent. It is easy to use and pumps a good quantity of air in a short period of time. I set the desired tire pressure, the clear display panel shows me the progress, and it shuts off automatically once the desired pressure has been reached. It has plenty of power off of one charge, too - I don't have to recharge it every time I use it. It sure beats having to go to a gas station to put air in the tires, or using one of those junky little portable compressors. So while it is expensive, it was a very good use of my dollars. Read more
This was expensive, but after reading 100's of reviews, we decided this would be beneficial for us. We have a class A motorhome and can use it to air the tires, win, win. It's fast, works great, love the storage bag and extra attachments to air up just about anything. They are also not cheaply made like the competition, brass fittings, portability and USB plug in. It also tells you how much battery is left. We blew up a two man innertube floaty and our friend used it a couple of times for her Tahiti raft. We still have long lasting charge. Excellent product and worth the investment. It is not that light or flimsy, it basically stays upright depending on the level ground. There is not 1 con about it. Quality that will last Read more
Vortex S7 performed well in toping off 4 tires. We keep vehicles at our other homes and sometimes don't get to run them for months at a time. Pumped 4 tires, from 30 psi to 41 psi in less than 5 minutes. Actual pumping time per tire, less than 30 seconds. Also, the price point was easier on the wallet than many other brands that made the same pumping claims. Light weight and comes with a well made carrying pack and attachments. We'll see how long it lasts. Read more
Works great to have in the trunk for pumping up tires or other items. It doubles as a power bank, flashlight and emergency flasher. The recharging does not take long and it holds the charge for a long time. Great gift for young drivers, college students or those on the road a lot. Read more
A friend bought the S6 portable air compressor (19.2 amp-hour battery that pumps 1.5 CFM@0 PSI) while I purchased the S7 (38.4 amp-hour battery with slightly stronger dual motors that pump 1.85 CFM@0 PSI). He has only one car, but I own two with larger tires, so I wanted the higher capacity battery. As the weather has gotten cold this winter, we have been using these compressors to add air pressure to our car times as the lower temperature has caused the tire pressure to drop. They pump up your tires very quickly and they are incredibly convenient as you just grab these self-contained compressors and use them on each tire, not having to get out our heavy duty 110 volt, more bulky and non-portable garage compressors. And these ETENWOLF VORTEX compressors remember your tire pressure settings from one use to the next, which makes them so easy to use. Of course, they come with all the attachments you need for other things, like bicycle tires or an air mattress, or to even charge an iPhone or such. And the storage/travel case is really first class and heavy duty. Our compressors are both six months old and have all the indications of being built with high quality. To do it again, I would definitely buy either model, although I like the higher battery capacity of the S7 as a personal preference. The S7 is a bit on the expensive side though, so if you want one but don't want to spend the extra cash, the less expensive S6 would be a great choice as well. Read more
I am very impressed with this product. It is user friendly and well built. It connects to the tire stem pretty smoothly and with a quick button press your tire will begin inflating. Very fast inflation. It took my tire from 29 psi to my desired 40 psi in under 2 minutes. Nice! I got tired of the cheap boys and so far I'm glad I got this. The only negatives are that it's very expensive and sometimes the set/desired air pressure can change (but you can pause it, re-adjust it, and start it back up). Read more
They came through and anew one is on the way. I am now satisfied with their customer service and warranty. While the compressor worked, I loved it. After the third use it started showing an e11 fault which is low temperature. It won't turn on. It only says e11. I called technical support and got a call back, they seemed to be very helpful. They were going to send me an email telling me how to resolve the issue. They never sent me an email. I had one call to customer support, and two emails that I sent to them with all the information they needed, and I haven't heard anything. If I can get this resolved I can give it a five review because it is really a good compressor. Read more
Etenwolf Vortex S7 is fantastic. Easy to charge, set up and use. I filled 8 car tires and the battery was still full. Very nice storage case. Tubes and cables are long enough to be useful, but not too long to get in the way. The large dial makes pressure adjustments a breeze. The faster the dial is turned, the settings change exponentially - making it quick to make significant changes, yet when turned slowly, to allow very specific adjustments. I highly recommend.
