Overview
I have been looking for a compressor that my wife could keep with her in our family vehicle. I have seen either a jump box or a compressor, but nothing with both combined that really caught my eye until we saw this unit. Now it is not just for my wife because this is an amazing unit to take with us to pick up new flipping cars.
This model comes with four USB jacks, 12v DC wall outlets for 120v systems, an LED light on the side, an air compressor, and a jump start kit.
Also, we have six children, so we require something that can do many tasks to make our life a bit easier. To top it off his unit is DoE compliant and is apart of Schumacher’s Eco-Energy program.

Compressor
This model has an excellent automatic digital air compressor with it that can supply 100 psi. If you have children, you should know that tires need air, but they are not the tires of your vehicle 90% of the time.
This unit has a digital psi set feature that you can set your recommended pressure on the unit and let it do its thing. I used ours the other day to air up a pool for our youngest son, this alone let the Schumaker set paid for
itself!
I was able to get the pool blown up without getting that head-splitting headache from blowing into the little fitting on the pool.
Then to make it even better, my wife uses this unit to power her workshop when she needs an extra light or more battery packs needing to be charged than there are outlets. This unit has helped her out so much!
Battery Life
The battery life on this unit is astounding, my wife uses this unit daily. She has seen that the battery will hold for about 8-10 hours with constant use.
She uses it to power a three-light lamp, a charge pack, and a Black and Decker drill.
This model is great to take to the beach as well. If you are looking for a power supply for a long day at the beach.
Although I have seen reviews online that state their unit lasted a lot longer than mine, but they were also only powering a lamp and nothing else.
Jump Starter Lifespan
This point for this unit was shocking. After doing one jump start to a vehicle, the battery was only drained by ten percent.
That leaves 90 percent of the battery life still able to power anything else you need to be powered. This does work with 4 to 8 cylinder vehicles.
Quality
I find that this unit is very sturdy and does not feel like it will fall apart if you bump into it or drop it.
The unit is almost twenty-three pounds alone so it can get cumbersome for some people. I suggest if you are carrying it onto the beach or picnic to just put the unit in your wagon or dolly that you are taking everything else with.
The compressor will turn itself off if it overheats to protect itself from shorting out, I noticed that when I was airing up the pool, of course, it could have been my 1-year-old playing with the pressure selection switches as well, because it definitely wasn’t hot yet.

Would I repurchase it?
This is an easy answer for me, and that answer is YES!!! I am thrilled with this purchase, and my wife loves it as well.
From the quality, the options, and the battery life of this unit, I feel it was money well spent, and it does everything we are wanting it to do for our family.
The best thing that I see from this purchase is the peace of mind that my wife has now when she is driving that if there is any reason she needs a power supply, jump start or an air compressor she has it covered, and this makes her happy which in turn makes me happy, so make sure you check it out.
