Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Performs well. Ergonomics are nice. It feels robust and well made. Lcd screen is clear and allows you to switch to different measurement types depending on your preference or needs.

This portable inflator is great to just grab and go and check the tires. Works great and surprisingly fast with large truck and trailer tires. Filled 2 riding lawnmowers approximately 10psi in 8 tires. Even fills my 35 truck tires to 55 psi no problem...  Read More

I already have lots of makita lith-ion tools/batteries so this was a no brainer. And the battery lasts a long time. Just for reference used a 5 amp battery, still at full charge.

I like the clips for storing the hose quickly so it doesn't flop around. The pressure release is handy for when the shop overinflates your tires. You can always reinflate to spec.



Cons

Makita's inflator is pricey. The battery pack costs $129, which immediately increases the total price to almost $300 for a portable inflator. Makita could have done a better job protecting this item if you distribute through amazon.

Does not stop at preset pressure. They sell a gadget that you velcro on to hold the trigger.

Quality


Excellent makita inflator, used it to fill totally flat tire, worked perfectly and quick, less than 4 minutes to reach 38 psi.


Helps keep my vehichles tires accurate , quick and precise .


Most of the either leak air through cracks in the hose or cannot be held against a tire nozzle in such a way that it seals.


Noisy and doesn't allow you to set and forget with the trigger.

Price


Awesome value for such a small thing.


I’m totally satisfied with this tool that’s worth every penny.


And then it costs a buck or two (quarters only) and the time runs out before i finish the last tire.


So, it's not inexpensive, but a person still gets what you pay for.

Shipping


As soon as i got it delivered, i used it every day for a week.

Competitiveness


This is worlds better than a mid-priced 12v plug-in style air compressor.


Awesome addition to the makita line up.


Well, this one did it in 42 seconds and the cheaper version took 82 seconds.


The other direct competitor is the milwaukee but it has an odd footprint and i personally find it to be rather large but just my opinion.

    It rapidly inflates any tire ive tried it on


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Santa delivered this air pump in 2022


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I already had the smaller dmp180 pump but wanted this larger pump


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It still lacks a stayon switch you have to hold the button down to keep the pump running


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 181 tends to over inflate 12 lbs


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This pump has a screwon valve as oppose to the quick release of the 180


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I bought a quick release attachment but the screwon design is advantageous with certain hubcaps that provide limited access to the head of a quick release


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its still a pain in the butt to move the compressor or vehicle every time i need to add air
