How fast does the AIR15 inflate a tire?

NOCO rates it at 0 to 40 PSI in about 2.9 minutes on a 205-65R16 tire. It can fill five tires in one duty cycle before it needs to cool.

Will it work on my truck or RV?

It handles tires up to 33 inches and pressures up to 80 PSI, which covers most pickups and light trucks. Heavy-duty truck and RV tires that need more than 80 PSI are out of range.

Does it need a special power outlet?

It draws 15 amps from a 12V auxiliary port. Some smaller cigarette-lighter sockets can't supply that, so check your outlet's rating and consider running the engine while inflating.

Can it inflate bike tires and sports balls?

Yes, but you must switch to manual mode for anything below 15 PSI, since the digital set range starts at 15 PSI.

What comes in the box?

The compressor, a 3-foot braided inflation hose, a 10-foot 16 AWG power cord with 12V adapter, and a built-in 60-lumen LED light.

How is it better than a cheaper 12V inflator?

It inflates faster, holds a set pressure with automatic shutoff, and fills several tires per cycle. Basic inflators are slower and often lack a digital gauge.

What reviewers say

4.8 / 513 ratings

Owners rate it highly, with 4.8 out of 5 from 13 ratings. They praise the speed, the automatic shutoff and the build, and the main complaints are the 15-amp power draw and the 80 PSI limit.

What people mention

SpeedPraisedOwners say it fills tires far faster than the inflators they replaced.
Auto shutoffPraisedThe dwell feature and automatic stop at the set pressure are called reliable.
Power drawCriticisedThe 15-amp draw can trip weaker 12V outlets, so some run the engine while inflating.
Pressure limitCriticisedThe 80 PSI maximum is too low for heavy-duty truck and RV tires.
BuildPraisedThe braided hose and overall construction feel durable to owners.

About the NOCO AIR15 UltraFast 15A 80 PSI 12V Portable Tire Inflator and Air Compressor

The AIR15 is a 15-amp portable air compressor with a 200-watt motor rated at a maximum pressure of 80 PSI (5.5 bar, 551 kPa) and maximum airflow of 44 SLPM (Standard Liter Per Minute) or 1.65 CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute). It features ultra-fast inflation times, seamlessly inflating tires from 0 to 40 PSI in an astonishingly swift 2.9 minutes (based on a 205-65R16 95H tire) and fully inflating five (5) tires in a single duty cycle. An integrated pressure sensor and innovative dwell technology pause and resume inflation as the pump reaches its set pressure while automatically shutting off to avoid over-inflating. A digital display allows accurate pressure settings from 15 to 80 PSI and the selection of pressure measurements between PSI, kPa, and bar. Any 12-volt auxiliary port powers the AIR15 - rated at 15 amps - via a 12-volt cigarette lighter plug adapter. Use the manual mode for applications below 15 PSI, like basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, bikes, and inflatable toys. It's suitable for vehicles with maximum tire sizes of 33-inches or less. For reference, here are some estimated PSI tire ranges for commonly found vehicles, like cars (30-40 PSI), SUVs (30-45 PSI), motorcycles (24-40 PSI), ATVs (5-15 PSI), UTVs (5-20 PSI), lawnmowers (10-30 PSI), trailers (35-60 PSI), light-duty trucks (30-50 PSI), pickup trucks (55-80 PSI) and more. The AIR15 includes a 3-foot inflation hose with nylon braiding, a 10-foot DC 16 AWG power cord with a 12-volt adapter, a 60-lumen LED flashlight with six (6) light modes (including emergency SOS), multiple inflation adapters (presta valve, needle adapter, and inflatable toy adapter), microfiber storage bag, and a 1-year limited warranty. In short, the AIR15 runs longer, fills faster, and infinitely better.
