Is this air compressor a JOKE?? It shuts off after 5 minutes.

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

Hard to say ... this compressor burned out after 18 months. Very disappointing.

No it is not. Mine started doing the same thing so i contacted Chamberlain. They sent me a new unit and told me to dispose of the old unit as it is not repairable. I took the cover off to find that the air is leaking from the compressor seal. I plan on using the old one until the motor goes out then install the new one. I figure that the constant cycling of the motor will burn it out prematurely but who knows it may last another 10 years. I have gotten used to the kicking on and off when I use it.

I would look on youtube for videos of ppl using it. You'll hear the compressor. Here's a link http://youtu.be/rBPL0AORrvY?t=20m27s that's what it sounds like when I use it.

No it stops and starts with the refrigeration system cycle. The fan will run for about 90 seconds after the compressor stops.

my compressor stopped working also. However, since it was fully charged I did not attempt to charge it and considered it dead and purchased another since the warranty had expired. Will never purchase another Peak ever!!!!

I wouldn't do that. You need to search for a casement/slider AC. If you turn the unit sideways, the compressor will not be properly lubricated, so it will fail prematurely.

I think it does not work, because air motor air consumption is very high . Shortly it run and stop.

I have no problem with my unit. Are you moving around a lot when it is inflating? That will abort it. Also do you have the owners manual. It may help.

I would NOT recommend this at all. Ours arrived dead on arrival and they to me to call a repair man instead of giving me a functioning one. It was only after the repair man said the main compressor was dead that they would take it back. What a hassle!!

This will do it, although you will have to do it in stages, otherwise you run a real risk of burning the compressor out. Something they don't really make clear is that when you first get it, run it for a half hour or so with no back pressure to enable the rings to seat. I didn't and paid the price. The next one I did and it is running fine.

I am not a mechanic -- but -- since the max time you are supposed to use the compressor is 10 minutes with a 25 minute cool down in between uses - I don't think you will run down your battery

Just for that kind of test (overnight air leak), I have had mine pumped up to pressure since I received it. It has probably bled off a couple pounds a WEEK as per the mounted included gauge. Your overnight air loss is usually attributed to having the air hose connected to the outlet port on the compressor and having a accessory attached to the air hose,,,then the unit WILL leak air overnight,,as with most if not all compressors in that configuration. When not in use, remove the air hose from the compressor quick connect outlet port.

No but the issue is with the regulator. Turn it to a low pressure then to a high pressure. If the compressor still keeps running your regulator is bad.

yeah. that is how it works. the fan stays on while the compressor un-freezes. Sorry to hear you bought one of those. They are pretty lousy and low quality. Mine died after very little use just after the warranty ran out.
