Air Dragon Review: Portable Air Compressor
ฝัง

- Here's my hands-on look at Air Dragon, a portable, hand-held air compressor. The expert I consulted said he'd buy it because it did inflate a flat tire, but I'm still on the fence about this one.

*Great air pump **MyBest.Tools** Faster than my old plug in pump and twice as handy without having to drag the cord around.And it works with my existing Ryobi drills battery.*
I almost ordered the air dragon. glad I saw this vid first. Thanks!
Check out Ryobi P737 for a Drill style or the P731 for a Inflator/Deflator square style. Uses Ryobi's 18 volt batteries so you can swap them with other Ryobi tools. The 737 is $19 and the 731 is $39 bucks. Much better build quality and sounds more like a regular compressor then the cheap 1 cylinder that rattles back and forth on the cheap plastic units.
I read that Oprah bought the company and shoved it up her ass. See it does not work. She is losing weight.
Mr Automatic where can I find that article? sounds interesting! 😆
Darian Gregory never order these type of products, a lot of them are scams, but what I really wanted to tell you is that you can buy these same products at Walmart, and if they don't work, you have the receipt to take it right back. If they are not at Walmart just wait a month or so because it will be, it could be a new product and just needs a lil time to get to Walmart.
Do you smell the pin on the inflator when she's finished with it??
this was very helpful for making my decision, thanks for taking the time to cover this item
Appreciate your review. I've been seeing the Air Hawk ads on tv and this was an alternative brand that's popped up. Too many reviewers give low ratings because it doesn't meet expectations - a small home unit isn't going to be as fast or powerful as the gas station version - leaving me confused as to whether it works or not. So I appreciate seeing this in action. (Yes, I'm headed over to your Air Hawk review now.) Thanks!
Thank you for doing this. I am thinking about buying one but I will wait for your review on Air Hawk.
There are many other brands of 12 volt tire inflators out there for sale for about $19.00 that will do the same job.
You can get them even cheaper if you look on eBay, as I only paid $15 for the one I gave my mother as insurance in case she gets stranded along with jumper cables, and a proper tire gauge to keep in her trunk, and it works just as well as this thing if not better.
Thanks for the review, I have one and couldn't figure how to use it.
The Air Dragon killed my inflatable lover.
Holy fuck 😂
Unplug. Toss in garbage. Done.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?……..IT’S MADE IN CHINA……..RIP OFF……..VERY POOR PRODUCT!!!!!!
Mine won’t run!
Junk! 3 hours later!!!!!!
Great review. Thanks for making it.
You Continue to Excel at reviewing the Right Products at the Right Time, You Rock!!!
Thank you Jeff. I hope I can continue to improve and help people out who are trying to decide about some of these products.
Every time the air dragon (no, the name is not worthy of capital letters)TV ad runs, PT Barnum's words of wisdom come to mind.
great review as usual ! we have an AIR HAWK here in Canada...Looks the same... i wonder if it's the same parent company.
Good job on the review. I have purchased air compressors in the past that over heat and cut off or will blow a fuse in your car. From personal experience black and decker air compressors are great.
Many of these "as seen on tv" products can often be found near the check out at your local Walmart, for less than the advertised price. Look there first before ordering.
Air dragon works good on auto/truck tires but for smaller tires like wheelbarrow, etc. like the video shows sometimes, does not shut off. Also I noticed it powers off after inflation and you have to press the middle psi select button to turn back on. I paid $29.95 w/coupon, so it's not a bad investment. It went from 32 psi to 35 psi in around 45-60 seconds on a very cold day on an auto tire. I did all 4 tires w/o a problem.
Slime makes a great portable air compressor. Mine will do around 15psi in about 5 minutes and not to mention my built in gauge is very accurate. I have owned the same one now for over 7 years and it's still kicking strong.
I almost bought this thing. Thanks for the info... It's much appreciated!
ty for this review that i was looking all around the web, is the rechargeable version any better or its the same as this cheap one ?
Deflated footballs can get you in a *lot* of trouble.
I race motorcycles and when I go to the track I see guys with big compressors and air tanks and all this nonsense. I bought a $30 kobalt 12 volt electric compressor. Works great has a plug for the house and car. I put in 19.5psi on the screen and hit start it stops at 19.5psi just to make sure I check it with a $150 gauge and it’s perfect every time. You can pick it up at Lowe’s or on Amazon. It doesn’t have good reviews online but I can tell you it works so good I bought 3 for myself and 1 as a gift. Great to keep in the car. Good job on your reviews man very detailed keep up the good work.
that's SO nice of you- i'll send you my address!
tom murphy ok what do you want me to send you? If you’re talking about the gift I already have it to my girlfriends dad. He likes it so much he bought another for his wife and another for the RV
oh, crud!
Funny, you don't hear all the racket this makes in the commercial! Sounds just like any other cheap portable air compressor. Thanks for the review.
Just received one as a Christmas gift. It will fill a vehicle tire faster if it is jacked up, without the vehicles weight on it.
Thnx man,,, I was about to buy one but I wasn't sure or trusted the advertising. Thnx again
Thank you for the review. i cancelled my oder N saved 50 bucks. got a 15 dollar one at walmart.. thank you
Nice review, was considering buying but seems cheap and will explore other alternatives.
came across your channel because I got some of those shitty socks and decided to see what other people thought of them. now I'm binge watching your videos. where do you find these terrible products? I can't stop laughing at this compressor video! love it!
Hi Adam, and thanks for the comment! I'm glad you like the reviews. I've only been doing them for a couple months, so I'm trying to improve these reviews as I go. To answer your question, most products I actually find in stores in the As Seen on TV section. Air Dragon I bought from BulbHead after seeing an advertisement.
I see that you've just started and you're doing very well! Keep making videos like these and your channel is going to grow very quickly! I absolutely love how you're very thorough and you get to the point. Seriously though, I really think you're channel is freaking great and I make completely different videos! Love it!
Freakin' Reviews how can you afford to buy all of these products that you are reviewing. If you don't like them do you send them back and get your money refunded? I'm glad you are taking the time to do these product reviews. It's so deceiving on television
Most products are only about $20, so it's not too bad if I only do a couple a week!
I don't send them back because I constantly get questions about things I may not have covered, so I like to have them on hand in case I need to refer back to them.
Freakin' Reviews, you should see what companies will pay you to do these reviews.
i just ordered mines yesterday on ebay, glad i done some more research on this...now i just sent the seller on ebay a cancel note about my order, hopefully it gets to them in time before they ship it
Thanks for the info
nice review sir however how are you supposed to blow up a tire on the side of the road that has a hole in it? You would need a plug kit and other things we should be very difficult on the side of the road. As for maintaining air pressure in your bicycle or tires when they drop a little I could understand this could be a good tool. it did however blow that Corvette Tire up. All those little pumps take 15 minutes from flat. thanks for your review
As always thanks for the review! Really need a portable air compressor... just not this one 😲.
I bought two of them. First one burned up in the first 30 seconds when I tried to inflate a tire. The second one would turn on and off repeatedly while trying to inflate a tire to the point that it was useless. I contacted the company and informed them about the one that burned up. They sent me a replacement one that also turned on and off repeatedly and refused to fill up the tire. So all in all I had 3 of them and they were all garbage. I just wasted $70 dollars (combo pack was $10 cheaper). I say they are garbage from my experience and recommend no one waste their money on them. Go to Walmart and pick up a good 12 volt inflator for $20 bucks. I've had great reliability out of them.
Hi & thanks, wondered about this item. Nice, intelligent & understandable review. Kinda works but calibration has a glitch.
Love + Light x
Great video. Thank you.
thanks, I'm over it, you've just saved me my money!!
In the video after airing up the Vette tire, you said it was warm. I am curious How warm/ hot the plug in end was? I have tried a couple different inflaters sold @ Sears. First one melted my cig lighter socket. Second one gets pretty warm on the plug end. Decent video, thx!
It was warm, but I don't think it was hot enough to melt a socket.
How do you Shut on something? Goes on?
Thanks for video, figured it Did not work as suppose to.
I've seen dozens of these types of things and have been using a few for years. The only thing newish (or not common) is the auto-stop feature (which does not seem to work very well) and the built-in storage (which you'd think would be a no brainer).
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?……..IT’S MADE IN CHINA……..RIP OFF……..VERY POOR PRODUCT!!!!!!@#$%&(!!
My neighbor bought one of these and he used it to fill a completely flat tire on his Kia Sorento. It took 45 minutes to fill up to 30p.s.i. & it drained his car battery to where I had to give him a jump. It did smoke about 20 minutes into the usage and after the tire was completely filled, the small adapter was to hot to touch when trying to remove.
Did another test on a semi flat tire on my car and after 10 minutes I ended up going to the gas station to get the tired filled. I basically told my neighbor to return this thing & get his money back.
Good review and yes I would not recommend this to anyone.
so when you say 'completely flat', you don't mean just on the bottom?
Thanks for the video, I was looking in to getting one of these now I am glad I did not.
Thank you for your review. This product can be used as a blue print for a true cordless air compressor
GREAT IDEA!! then, you would have a cordless POS that uses expensive batteries!
It's a DRAGON!!...You can't control a dragon!.
:)))))
The air dragon is a piece of s***. It really let me down. I followed the instructions and everything came on. Once I tab the trigger nothing. Do not buy this crap
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?……..IT’S MADE IN CHINA……..RIP OFF……..VERY POOR PRODUCT!!!!!!
Great video !!
Sooooo in what situation would you be on the side of a road with a flat tire you can pump up???
Is there any where in the instructions about calibration?
What does (keep shutting on) mean?
very honest. Thank you.
On the fence next to the road. 😂
you can pick up a home adapter for plugging in things like this. Got one at Wal-Mart. Just a fyi for future reviews.
Great vid, thanx.
I'm watching the ad right now, looked like the POS filled a tire in 10 seconds......
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?……..IT’S MADE IN CHINA……..RIP OFF……..VERY POOR PRODUCT!!!!!!@#$%&(!!
40$! I paid 8$ for mine and it's worked for 24 years; 10 of those years with a tire with a slow leak refilling every three days. It's about as slow (from ~10 psi to 30 psi about 15 minutes) and does not have auto-shutoff but it's smaller. Checked the price recently (for a friend's new car) and it's 13$ on sale.
It probably keeps turning on because there is a leak between the compressor and the air chuck. When you first hooked up the hose in the beginning it didn't look like a very secure connection for pressurized air. The machine thinks it has zero/low pressure in the line so it keeps running. Do the soapy water trick and I bet you see air leaks along the hose and the connections at each end. Was the smoke an electrical smell or a grease/plastic smell? I appreciate your review.
Thanks for your thoughts! If I recall, it was more of a plastic smell.
A good bicycle pump will never let you down.
wow I was convinced at 4:40 that this is a piece of CRAP.glad I watched. thanks for posting:)
It took you that long? I was convinced within the 30 seconds it took to watch the tv commercial.
Definitely won't be buying this POS. 15 minutes to air a tire lol. I'd be better of with a foot pump.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?……..IT’S MADE IN CHINA……..RIP OFF……..VERY POOR PRODUCT!!!!!!
just bought.. ugh wish i saw this earlier
I bought this for my daughter for christmas on sale for $20. I would rather her have this than nothing at all even if it does take 15 minutes to fill the tire up. I will make sure to tell her to set it at a lower psi and to have a traditional gauge with her that costs $2.. we all have one anyways!
i'm sorry, but if my daughter is on the road, she's staying locked in her car and calling AAA
That thing deflated all my expectations. Thanks bra!
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?……..IT’S MADE IN CHINA……..RIP OFF……..VERY POOR PRODUCT!!!!!!@#$%&(!!
The purpose for the air Dragon it seems is for an emergency situation in case of a flat tire where there are no stations or any help
I literally was just watching the infomercial and it says that it will pump a tire up and get you back on the road and seconds. It literally shows them pumping up a damn Tire quicker than I've ever seen. I don't know why that guy would give this a thumbs up because it's definitely a piece of s*** if it's smoking. You can buy a lot of different ones out there for $40 or less . I have an old one that I've had for years and it takes longer to pump up and does not have a PSI shut off what the gauge is almost perfect and doesn't smoke if on for a long time. I've had it for at least 15 years. sounds to me like this thing will break very easily
I'd say no to this one. There are definitely other air compressors that will do more for less. Thank you for testing it out and posting.
LOL I have a little bitty cheap one from Walmart and it's in a little see through zipper plastic bag in that thing never gave me trouble I've had it for 3 years now and I only spent $9 this a dragon is a total rip-off
Had mine for sometime now and have always had a problem with it. Today I was putting air in my tires and was able to get one done. I have three lighter connections in my car. After the first tire it would not work in either. One other thing, after putting air in the only tire it worked on the connection to the tire was really hot and I had to get a rag to unscrew it from the tire. I figured it was just hot and would not turn on, I waited for an hour and it still dosen't turn on. I would not recommend this compressor to anyone that is in a hurry.
They are selling it in Chile for US$65, which is quite higher than what they said in this video. Thanks for sharing and saving us from wasting good money. For less money we could buy 2 or 3 cheaper ones of the same quality.
wow, Chileans must be REALLY gullible!
you are great man thanks bro
The best 12v compressor I ever had was called Truck Air. It was slow like most of them are but it could fill a flat 16" 235 tire on my Silverado without overheating and did so many times before it finally died. I now have different compressors in vehicles and would expect them to do the job and for less than $40. I am NOT sold on this dragon thing, not at all.
plz tell me from beging song ????
Stops when pressure is achieved, is your unit possessed?
I almost ordered the air dragon. good thing I didn't. Thank You
15 min of that thing running with the car off what will that do to the battery?
I got an email from them and thought it looked pretty cool but for $50.00 for one I have to check a review. That product didn't ring any bells for me. It looks cheaply made and it is. Another reviewer said his was making a metal grinding sound on the first use and said the piston inside was busted. I'll just stick to my little Slime compressor I got for 20 bucks at walmart. Good review thanks.
I think I will pass on the portable air compressor. I would however really like to know where you bought those green shades?
I like the slime air compressor better plus it has a quick release, they also have ones that dont , so you can inflate basketballs
knew it was crap just because of the get a second one offer. thanks for the review
How do you shut something on?
I've tried to shed some of the strange expressions I've picked up over the years, but that's apparently not one of them.
love the review...except noooo one says "shutting on" either "turning on" or "coming back on" lol great video tho!!!! it helped me ALOT!! if they dropped it down to $20 i'd cop one just to throw in the back for emergencies. i have the HARBOR FREIGHT $40 compressor but you need an outlet.
Trust me, you aren't the first to ride me about that. In fact I addressed it a few months ago here: th-cam.com/video/2_vnYQKycCM/w-d-xo.htmlm26s
Vernacular differences aside, I appreciate the comment! :-)
HAHAHAHA!!! niiice ...keep up the great reviews man!!!
..or a long-ass cord!
I got one for a gift. The clip that holds the bottom compartment broke the first day. 2 years later the compressor stopped working. It lights up but the compressor won't start.
On TV it's quiet. In my residential neighborhood I don't want all that noise. I have 2 versions of cheap 12V pump. You can plug it into a jumper box to avoid cigarette lighter. Quiet & fast is what I'm looking for. I used to have a tank you pump up at gas station and fill your tire with the single charge. I'm still going to Wal-Mart for other things.
you'd love my neighborhood- everybody here has a Bobcat.
Get An Air Hawk Bro... I Laughed So Hard!
I mean it needs a bit of tweaking, but it does work !
I love how the drill type battery area was designed to be space for... a chord ...... 🤔🤔🤔
Bruce the expert!! LOL
It needs a priest to cast out the dragon demons.
don't be silly; no catholics in China
Good reviews
I almost purchase it Tru online...thanks for the vid.
Review the Ryobi pump the small one
can i get 3000 psi from air dragon ?
Rozaq Malik perhaps by farting
I would think it was a fail for a tire. First, most tires quickly lose air on the road and not from a slow leak. As slow as it takes to refill the tire, it will be competing with that leak. Even without that competing leak, it still took the maximum stay on time to inflate that tire.
Royobi makes a better version of the air dragon can you try it
Dollar general sells a 12 volt air compressor for 10 dollars 😇
I have yet to see one for sale at Dollar General?
AngelKistable Same, and I worked at the once down from my house which is a 5 minute walk for 5 1/2 years, and we never stocked any in that entire time I was there that I can remember anyways, plus I'm in my local store often enough since it's very convenient for me to know when they get new stock in, and I've not seen one at all since either.
Well, i feel safe in knowing that i did peruse the store shelves of my Dollar General adequately and did not find a one, Commodorefan64, lol>
Thank Hun...
PS. Do many people know what a Commodore 64 is? Pssst, i do..
As a Technician? I agree with the Technician... The Most Important Issue is taking care of the Emergency at the time...
JMO...
The TV advertisement does its best to avoid showing the cord. I thought it was cordless.... Thanks for the review
I had one for a while now. I don’t consider it reliable, but I would use it in a worse case scenario.
That Air Compressor is automatic?
Muy Buena explicación, ahora ya se que no es una muy buena decisión de compra
I received it today from kogan.com, I thought it works with electricity. I wish watched this video before I bought it.
was it the Certa air Wolf?
I ordered 2 paid like 50 for each used mine once to air up my car tire it smelled like it was burning tried to use it again it was toast samething happened to the other one too.
These little pin piston compressors don't last very long. Either the crank breaks or the cylinder just gets wore out and it can no longer compress air. its only really good for emergency air. A bicycle pump actually works better
It does not hold up for very long. My unit is starting to act up.
Sounds like a craftsman compressor, hearing protection required. Lmao
I just saw this in Walmart for $40.00 but not sure if it's worth it
