Goodyear i7000 12-Volt Direct Price Review

This twelve Volt direct drive inflator with “WHISPER SOFT” technology gives very calm and economical operation. Inflates all car tires from cars to RVs, SUVs to trucks and more. Inflates a 14 inch car tire 0 28 PSI (flat to full) in less than three minutes. Will include a fitted analog gauge for correct pressure readings and a powerful fitted work light and comes in a nylon carrying case for easy storage.

5.0 out of five stars movable and fast!, August 7, 2009
By sonytoao (Silver Spring, MD USA) See all my reviews () This review is from: Goodyear i7000 12 Volt Direct Drive Heavy Duty Tire Inflator (Automotive) I have owned two other tire inflators: both Craftsman. Both were as deafening as a jackhammer and caused a big racket when in use. And they were quite slow in inflating my car tires so the racket went on for longer than I wanted. The main features I wanted in a new unit was low sound output and an capability to inflate my 20″ SUV tires. Wow! does this unit deliver! I plugged it in one of my car power outlets and turned it on in my enclosed garage. I know the sound wasn’t obvious to my townhouse neighbors. And the inflation is much faster: with my Craftsman, I could settle in for the wait to inflate 5psi, turn on the radio and check the gauge every not many minutes. With this one, I had to watch the gauge closely to ensure I didn’t over inflate inside one minute. (According to the assert on the box, it’ll inflate a 14″ tire from 0 28psi in under 2:30 seconds.)

What you get:

16 ft PVC air hose with fast connect cabling (much like most Craftsman air compressors);
10 ft power cord with a 15 amp fuse (this length, plus that of the air hose, should be plenty long enough for most folks);
Fitted analog pressure gauge (above 30 psi, it displays 2psi increments up to 150psi);
Four LED lights built into the inflator (the lamp has a separate on/off switch from the inflator)
Four inflation adaptors for toys, balls, rafts, etc.

The box also will include two substitute 12v fuses. I can not speak to longevity as I have not put it through any wear and tear but since it is a direct drive motor, fewer moving parts could imply that it should last longer than other gear driven models. The whole thing fits nicely in a carrying bag that can fit behind any car seat (it’s about the size of an adult’s soft lunchbox). Time will tell if Goodyear was wise in allowing its name used on this model but so far, so good. Greatly recommend.

5.0 out of five stars Great tool at a great price!, October 30, 2009
By Y. Teng (CA USA) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) () This review is from: Goodyear i7000 12 Volt Direct Drive Heavy Duty Tire Inflator (Automotive) I’m upgrading from a cheap unit that was slow and noisy. After researching some air compressors online, I decided to buy this unit. Just received it and tried it out. I’m really happy by this unit:

Very quite and stable it will not jump around like my last unit;
Fast inflation I tried to top off on my 31″ truck tire. I didn’t time it, but I can see the needle moving at 33 psi. For bicycle tires, it takes only seconds;
Reasonable power draw it didn’t blow the fuse on my 04 4Runner, and I do not have problem starting the truck after testing the unit without engine running to fill three bicycles and top off a truck tire;
Correct gauge I tested it against my other tire gauge and the readings are practically the same at 33 psi;
Quality construction. The chuck connector works more reliably than the fast connector in my last cheap unit. It loses some air upon disconnect but may be easily compensated.

4.0 out of five stars 12 Volt Air Compressor, September 15, 2009
By David W. Miller (Saint Augustine, Florida) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Goodyear i7000 12 Volt Direct Drive Heavy Duty Tire Inflator (Automotive) For an forthcoming 3 week camping vacation I wanted a dependable compressor so that I could maintain the correct tire pressure for the tires on the pop up camper. Camper tires will heat and fail (blow) if the pressure is too low. Our camper tires require 50 psi. I chose this compressor because it appeared to be heavier responsibility than the “cheaper” (below $20) varieties found at the discount stores. After three weeks and 5,000 miles, no blow outs. Plus, we also had a truck tire with a slow leak and I was able to preserve good pressure in that tire without having to rely upon service station inflation vending machines. In summary, I believe this product is a useful tool and a good value.
