I am looking at purchasing a 12v air compressor and have checked out the more popular 4wd ones (Bushranger etc), have come across one under the "Lion" banner. The specifications seem to very similar to the Bushranger Max Air 11 but at half the price.
Has anyone had any experience with the "Lion", how reliable are they? or is it just a matter of getting what you pay for??

Don't get put off by brand name snobs!
I bought a copy from ebay a couple of years ago & it has worked it guts out & never missed a beat.
Once it aired up 12 tyres from 18psi to around 40psi without a break ,with no problems at all.
If it looks the same ... go for it!

I Have had a cheaper ($90?ish) compressor before, can't remember the brand but think it was a lion. Had it for 2 years before giving it to my brother and law when I sold him our Roza (second car). Still going strong although only used probably 10 times a year.
Now have one of the 72l minute ones and is going strong.
They are better than nothing and it will depend on how much you have to spend and how often you will use it. ($90) every couple of years is easier to find than $400 that could mean you don't use your vehicle because you don't have a compressor.
Only went the larger one as I wanted something quicker and suercheap had a sale so I picked it up for not much more than the smaller ones.
