The good is that it is well made and has sturdy construction and should last for years. The hose it comes with attaches to the tire valve by threading onto it which is great and works much better than the ones you need to keep pressed against the valve stem. In part this feature is also a necessary one as the hose needs to be threaded and left attached to the tire while you turn on the compressor.The one aspect of the design that I do not like is that it clips onto the battery posts instead of having a plug for a cigarette lighter socket. My battery for my truck is on the left front side and with my SUV on the right front corner of the engine compartment. the Battery cables to power the compressor are long enough to have the compressor sitting on the ground while it is operating but the air hose has to be able to reach all four tires. You really need to buy at least one of the Viair 6 foot extension hoses with the threaded fittings at both ends (male and female).I was barely able to reach the right rear tire of my short bed extended cab truck using the 88P's hose and the 6' extension hose. Not a concern with small sedans but if I had a long bed truck with a crew cab or an RV I would need two or more of the 6' extension hoses to reach all the tires.There is a pressure gauge but it is not accurate. This is to be expected as the air coming out of the compressor is very hot and so the reading cannot be accurate. I used the TPMS to know the actual amount of air in the tires as the compressor ran and then double checked with a hand air pressure gauge that I know is accurate (most are not). I put in 2-4 lbs. more than the spec for the tires and let them cool down for several hours and then rechecked and adjusted the pressure in each tire.I was adding air to truck tires that needed 80 PSI and this 100 PSI rated compressor did very well in adding 8-10 lbs. of air per tire. I had to let out a lot of air to reset the TPMS sensors on my truck after a tire dealer rotated the tires and failed to do the reset. They have never done the reset unless I catch them and then have them do it before I leave. For someone with load range G/H tires that need 100 or greater PSI I would go to the next compressor in the Viair line that is rated for 150 PSI.The compressor power cables include a fuse and holder which is a nice touch and protects the electrics and with a compressor is better than a thermal fuse that would be tripping all the time. The compressor package includes an adapter for sports equipment.I need to get a case for it as it ships with a box that is not going to hold together in the truck and it is too small to hold the needed 6 foot extension hose. This is not a negative comment only something to consider if you plan to leave this in your car or truck.
