Portable air compressor for plug in the rear

I ran across this little guy and its looks very nice, but its rated at 4.5amps (450ish watts). Its got pretty much everything in a nice small-ish package. The really nice thing is its super quiet. From the pics it also looks like I could separate the tank and compressor to mount individually. Not to mention it is $100 on Amazon with Prime. That seems like a deal for tank, a quiet compressor, regulator and PSI shut-off.

Any thoughts it the built-in inverter would run it?

Too many watts for the factory inverter


That's just more than you need, get a 12v air compressor and don't worry about the tank

Are you still using the Kobalt compressor?
How loud would say it is compared to a normal pancake compressor (about 95 decibels)
Is the hose removable or swappable to a quick disconnect?

I'm toying with some type of 110v compress because they are a lot quitter than the 12v models.

Mainly I would be using it to fill mountain bike tires (large volume and low pressure. Using it on auto tires would be secondary.

Ideally I would connect it to a small air tank. My thought is I could roll up to a trailhead parking lot, hit the inverter button, top off the air tank and then use the tank to fill my bike tires.

If I was filling car tires the tank would basically be a passthrough.
Looking at the specs, it will be much slower than the smittybilt or superflow

Howdy. I have searched and searched and seen many types of portable air compressors but can't find any info on what I'm looking for. It seems like people either have the fast one that hooks up to your battery with alligator clips or the slow one that plugs into your cigarette lighter. My question is if there is a portable air compressor that can plug into the AC socket in the rear of my 2015 Trail without blowing a fuse and would be quicker than the cigarette lighter version but not have to pop the hood and hookup to the battery. I know the rear is 120V/400W but the manual also reads:
■To prevent the fuse from being blown
Do not use a 120 V AC appliance that requires more than the maximum
capacity of the power outlet. If a 120 V AC appliance that consumes more
than the maximum capacity is used, the protection circuit will cut the power
supply.

Basically I want to know if anyone knows about a compressor that is compatible with the rear AC socket.

Thanks!
