Had the same issue and even exchanged mine only to discover that the reason it didn't work was because this model has a special feature in the dial to set it at the pressure you want to inflate to. Roll that dial on top all the way over and you will no longer have the problem of it not working. Does keep it from over-inflating! see less

Read other reviews and selected this inflator to help with my lawn tractor. Found we still had to jack up tractor to inflate tire - but then tire inflated quickly and shut off at exactly the correct amount. This had been easily set using the dial gauge.Worth the investment. see less

One of my snow blower tir ... see more

One of my snow blower tires went flat today, of course after 18" of snow, my 12VDC car tire inflator did not have enough volume to seal the bead and inflate the tire, went out and picked this up and was impressed that it got the job done and only took about 5 minutes to bring to 20 psi, which is what the tire called for.Why a 4 and not a 5, well as commented on already, the air hose is very short and it is clear that on a car tire the valve stem would have to be near the ground to reach it and the AC (house) power cord is equally as short begging for an extension cord which is not the safest thing in my situation with snow, the 12VDC car power cord is plenty long and not an issue. On pure function, will it blow up a tire, I have to give it a 5. Even if a car tire is likely to take a long time, it will get there.Seeing the review about it turning off and CB about turning the dial all the way (BTW - Thanks CB for that) I was a little worried it might not work well. I found that once it hits pressure and turns off, you need to turn it off and back on again with the power switch, this is a safety device so you don't accidently leave it on. You can use the trick CB suggested going to max pressure, the only thing is you really need to keep your eye in the pressure as that more or less defeats the over-inflation protection. Personally I would suggest putting it no more than 5 psi over the pressure you need and turn it off manually once you get the pressure you want, the issue with going to max pressure is if you go way over the right pressure for the tire there is a major risk of it or item being inflated exploding. Don't be fooled by its small size, pressure is pressure, if you have a tire blow and you are near it you can easily get hurt.Another tip -- as long as it is attached to whatever is being inflated, it will show the current pressure, if that is the same as the dial it will not turn on again, the safety will not allow as you are already at your dialed in pressure. To start it again just turn up the pressure dial or remove it from the thing you are inflating, cycle the power off then on and you are good to go.Last tip, I would go at least 2-5 psi over your real target pressure, you lose a little taking it off, then use a pressure guage to see where you are and let the air out yourself until it comes down to where you want it.All in all I am pretty happy with it, having AC and DC power is a real plus, I did not have 12VDC around my snowblower, just house power 120VAC.I also like how everything neatly packs away, my other little one has cords and the hose all over the place and no way to store it well. see less

I drove on interstate from Minnesota to Indiana and it worked perfectly. It was a great value, worked well on my small car, and was easy to install. I definitely recommend it. see less

I was really excited to receive this rack, but unfortunately it did not fit my car- latest model of mazda 3. If the company had a listing of compatible car makes/models it would save a lot of grief. Got another brand rack from a different retailer that I knew would fit, just from looking at the box. They should also put on the packaging or website that a women's bike will most likely need an adapter bar. Good to know for biking newbies like me. Despite the disappointing experience, the rack arrived super fast and looked like it was great quality for the price. Was able to return with no problems. see less

I was skeptical about getting a bike rack, whether it was really worth it and if I would ever use it, but then I saw this one. It was lightweight (I carried the box throughout the store) and very inexpensive compared to others I had seen. Even better, when I got it home and tried it out, it was soooo simple to use. And I didn't have to do anything to the car to get it on (like some of the others did). I leave it in the trunk until I'm ready to use it, and it only takes about 5 minutes to set up. Definitely a good buy! see less

Purchased this car top carrier to use for summer travel now that we have two kids and tons of stuff to take along - pack and plays, strollers, luggage. Just like the other reviewer, we drove through 7 hours of straight rain on our most recent trip and everything stayed completely dry. We were also happy to see how much this carrier would hold. We drive an Escape and it fit fine. Great product! see less

We bought this carrier to travel 2,100 miles across the country to give us more room in our car, and it worked beautifully! Everything inside it was in perfect condition when we arrived, and completely DRY even though we drove through a bad hail storm in Oklahoma. Highly recommended! see less

Excellent rack for the price, esp compared to the [$] racks. This is my 3rd hitch-mount rack and I've had a new brand name rack --and expensive, and a used one for [$]. This Advantage rack is right in the middle and it's not bad. It does the job esp when I only hook it up less than 10x per year. I need it to tilt, and I need it for 4 bikes. It's compact enough, sturdy enough, and overall a good buy. see less

We needed a quick cover up for our two front seats. These were a great, inexpensive route! They don't look the highest quality or the most expensive, but they cover up the torn up seats that they are hiding underneath them. We used a steamer to get out some wrinkles they had to help them look a little nicer.Overall, very happy with the purchase for now. We'll likely get some nicer, more expensive car seat covers down the road. see less

Had one of these for year ... see more

Had one of these for years, a little advice:This works on roof racks that have side bars, and 2 sliding bars front/back. Put it forward on the rack so you can stand on the door sill to pack it.Best used with large rolling duffels since there is only 36" x 36" of area. Pack it full, having a corner flapping will make noise, and wear a hole. Fuse the ends of the straps with a match to prevent fraying.Check the tension on the straps every time you stop for gas.Tuck strap ends in to prevent noise and damage.Most repairs can be handled with black duct tape. see less

My husband and I used this bag as we traveled over 1000 from Louisiana to Northern VA. We were able to fit everything we needed into it. We were careful not to put anything in it that we could not afford to get wet, but we drove through two rainstorms and everything stayed dry! We attached it to our Subaru Forrester, which has a roof rack, just not the right one for this bag, which then required some creative attaching to our car on my part. We would have been better off purchasing a hard top carrier, but this got the job done for our purposes. see less

I ordered this item online and didn't see in the description that it requires a roof rack, I shipped it back. All it says is it expands your storage space. Unless you have a luggage rack on top of your car/truck, these are pointless. see less

This product is great!! I have two dogs and one of them wont go near it for some reason but my other one enjoys it. I like this product because it was affordable big and very easy to instal. it even matched my interior very well. It did have a musky rubbery smell at first but after i let it sit out over night smell went away.I would recommend this product to any one just wish they would make one for cars with no back headrest. see less

This is an as seen on tv product. It seems of very strong plastic when first opened. I let it air out overnight since it would give me a headache if I let it air out in the car. Two straps over the headrests. Has two slits for seat belts to slip through. Machine washable. Nice large size. see less

These are the best floor mats I have ever had. I received these as a birthday present and am going to buy them as a present for a friend. I noticed no order whatsoever. They stay put on the floor of your car and don't move around at all. I highly recommend them. see less

When I bought these rubber mats, after reading the negative reviews, mostly about strong rubber smell, I was a bit skeptical. However, I decided to give it a shot. When I was at store, I smelled the mats and they were just ok. When I installed them, which was easier than anything, I did not notice that strong rubber smell in my car. I am kind of smell or odor sensitive person. If you are really not that much sensitive, I would recommend you to buy these mats. However, please try smelling them before you make your final decision. The reason I take one star out is the front seat floor mats are symmetrically identical. So, they might not give you the exact fit. However, this is exactly the same in these sort of somewhat cheap floor mats. Also, the mats for the back seats are somewhat small even though I drive Corolla. see less

This is a pretty handy cargo tote for SUVs because things do tend to roll around the back. However, the two longer sides are always falling down. Kind of annoying but overall a decent product for what it does. I do through all the smaller knick knacks in there. see less

woke up to a flat tire, got lazy to put the spare on so i went to Target and picked this up. Not the fastest, i cant speak on how durable it is as i've only used it once but glad i bought it and will keep it in my car for emergencies. i wasnt sure how to read the numbers, so i just filled it up and used my manual reader. once i got it to 30psi i turned it off. decent for the price. see less

I purchased this last night to air up the tires in my car and my wife's car. It was not the fastest inflator in the world, but for the price it is great. In about 30 minutes I had 8 tires aired up from 20PSI to about 40 PSI. Beats having to go the gas stations and find an air machine that works. Going to go back to grab a second one to leave in the car for road trips. see less

Purchased this as an inexpensive stopgap for a leaky tire on my car. Would need to reinflate the tire about once a week. This worked fine - if 15-20 minutes to refill a tire from very low but not flat is fine in your book - for about 2 months, so I got around a dozen or so uses out of it, but it has completely stopped working. All I can say is I'm glad this died on me now, at home, instead of if I were in a situation where I absolutely needed it. Poor quality, wish I hadn't wasted the money on this and would have just bought a good one that would last. see less

Works great, has all the features we wanted. Smart, durable design and construction (and pretty heavy). Only 4 stars because the rubber straps included to clamp the bike frames onto the rack seem cheap and I'm not sure how long they will last or how strong they are. I suggest another method of attaching your bike to this rack as a backup to what's provided. see less

Once you get the hang of it, this rack can be very quickly installed on either a Sedan or an SUV (less than 5-minutes). We have owned ours for a few years and it has never let us down. We only ever carry two bikes, but I choose this carrier because it had the two extra straps. If you mount one bike facing one direction and the next facing the opposite direction, and align the pedals correctly (as common sense would tell you), there is easily space for a third bike. We usually also incorporate a bungie or two and a couple of rags to prevent the bikes vibrating against each other or the car and ruining the paintwork. We've taken 300+ mile road trips with the bikes on the back, freeway and mountain roads. I'm a very spirited driver and we've never had any issues with the rack not being secure. I think the extra harness points make all the difference. see less

This bicycle rack is a very good deal - I had no problem attaching it to the vehicle, though the directions could be a little more detailed. So far I've only carried one heavy beach cruiser on it, approx. 10 miles round trip, several times with no problems. I'm not finding it necessary to use any extra help (bungie cords, etc) though I do tie the excess strap footage around the frame of the bicycle simply b/c its there and it would fly around while driving; it seemed like a no-brainer. It would be better if I could lock the bicycle to it, and there are bike racks in the marketplace that do, but I couldn't find any locally. The only other foreseeable problem is that the actual bicycle rack can easily be lifted off the trunk of your car and stolen, so take heed. see less

We were on vacation in Williamsburg, VA and needed more room inside the van we were driving. We saw this product online and checked to see if it was available in the local store, which is was, although it cost about [$]. It was easy to attach to the roof rack, even though the van we were using has the stow n go cross bars. After driving more than 300 miles home the carrier was easy to refold and put back into the storage bag. It appears to be of good quality and we have no doubt it would be rainproof, but we didn't drive through any rain. We would definately recommend this product to a friend. see less

We drove from San Diego to Seattle for Christmas, and we bought one of these for our trip. It held up great! It was very quiet and easy to use. I was also able to FIT IT BACK IN THE BAG after I used it!! It was waterproof and overall we were completely satisfied. see less

We purchased this item at our local Target store. We own a smaller SUV now and have less room inside for our baggage when travelling. The inside of the carrier had a coating that cracked and peeled off onto everything inside of it. I assume that the coating was the rainproof part. It rained during our trip home and everything inside the carrier became wet. I'm giving it 2 stars because it did hold our baggage securely and out of the way. Perhaps it was just this one model that was defective, but I'm not sure I would chance purchasing another one. see less

This item seems to be fine, a little hard to connect the front tubing together during assembly. Works well with 3 bikes, will hold 4 with extra maneuvering due to the handle bars all hitting each other. Use a long thick cable through the bike frames and through the bike rack with a heavy duty lock and that would make it difficult for anyone to steel them. It works well in the truck bed as well as in the garage. see less

We needed a cartop carrier at the last minute for a large SUV. We went with this one because it was in stock and didn't need crossbars (or at least that's what the instructions said). A few problems: the straps on the side of the carrier did not reach the side rails of our large SUV when we had it packed full. It might fit fine for a crossover or a small SUV. It has gone approximately 1600 miles (one round trip) through pretty good weather and is already starting to get holes in it. We also had to put a bungee cord across the back to keep it from sliding off the vehicle. It states it isn't waterproof. That's for sure. The 15 minutes of rain we went through got items in the carrier damp. I would hate to be using this in a downpour. The only plus is that it has a lot of room assuming you can get the side straps to reach. There might be good inexpensive carriers out there, but this isn't one of them. see less

We bought this to use for our vacation from Texas to Florida, and knew that it was only weather resistant, so we put our duffle bags in durable garbage bags, for extra protection, and then put it in the car carrier. By the time we got to Florida and took our luggage out of the karpak, the lining that makes it weather resistant had fallen apart, just crumbled, so now the only thing covering was the cloth of the actual carrier, so by the time we left Florida to go back to Texas you could see through the fabric and it was tearing holes. We used soft duffle bag luggage and not suit cases. Our clothes were totally dry because of the idea to put the bags in large garbage bags for protection, but I won't beable to use this luggage Highland KarPak again. I didn't have the cross bars, so even though it was buckled and strapped, it will slide to the back top of the car. I do not recommend the KarPak car top carrier by HIghland. see less

This is an excellent piece of technology. I use my car very rarely so having this tool is a necessity to jump start my vehicle if it has been sitting for quite some time. It will inflate your tires, can plug into your car lighter to charge while you're driving, and is very light weight.It has gauges to tell you how much battery power it has and when it needs to be recharged. It has 2 plug-ins to act as a battery for your laptop or other electrical equipment (great for camping) and 2 "cigarette lighter" outlets for other various pieces of technology you'd like to plug in.The only downfall is that you can't use the product right away when you receive it. It needs to be charged for 36 hours before it's first use...but after that it only needs to be charged every 3 months (plugs right into your wall at home). see less
