Q- Maxx air compressor
Just bought one at Costco today. Very compact and comes in a black carry bag. Seems like a good deal for $49. Anybody else have one? What do you think of it?

Re: Q- Maxx air compressor
If its the same as the Superflow MV50 or MV1050, its a really good compressor.
Tire Inflator Comparison
it outperforms alot of higher priced options. I bought one based on a recommendation from some members in TTORA-NE, and reading that review.
Also, they show how oddly similar it is to the VIAR compressor here..

I got mine about a month ago. It's super quiet. I keep a plug kit with mine and a pressure gauge. I seen it for 60 at Pep Boys.

Re: Q- Maxx air compressor
I bought mine about 1 week ago after I aired down my tires on a trail with the staun deflators (one was aired down too far, to 8 Lbs) so I didnt find any obstacles in fear of blowing the bead.
So I aired my tire down in the driveway and hooked up the compressor and it took a ~1 minute to air up from 13 to 32 lbs and you are right, its super quiet. I am pleased for under 50 bucks

Re: Q- Maxx air compressor
For anyone who thought they missed this opportunity, a couple of pallets were in my local Costco last week. First time I've seen them. It is the good MasterFlow model.
Best mod yet if you don't have an air solution yet... and it is fast for a mini.

Re: Q- Maxx air compressor
I ordered a "brand new" one from ebay, it arrived 3 weeks late, totally broken and obviously used and abused
Trying to rectify this with the seller...wish I had just gone to costco...
