Anyone got one of these compressors from Costco it says it can do a pressure of 130 psi , just wondered if they were any good , it's a small unit and light as well and only £29.00 anyone already have one ???

Bought it. Binned it.

Better off on that budget buying the maplin compressor.
I used mine to charge a small air tank (25cubic liter) to 115psi from empty in around 7 minutes.

You obviously thought it rubbish - any particular reasons?

It wasn't man enough for the job. Half the time it could not supply enough pressure to inflate the tyre.
I got so fed up I bought the RAC 900. Not cheap but we are touring Europe for a year or so in a big tag axle and wanted something that did it efficiently.
Definitely the dogs licky bits

I bought the Maplin one and it works fine good value for the money

I had a maplin compressor sent it back it struggled to get to 50psi

Which one ?
Mine would easily reach 80psi in all 6 wheels in turn with ease

Thanks guys really appreciate the advice , think I'll go with the safe bet and go for the RAC900 one better than being stranded in the wilds with a flat tyre Thanks again

I bought a small tyre inflator/compressor from Costco for £29 that looks similar to the RAC900 pictured above. However, it was mainly for use with motorcycle tyres, which it gets up to circa 44 psi without issue. Not tested it with the higher pressure van tyres though. But we also have the mains powered RAC 750...

Edit: this was the Goodyear inflator we have from Costco:-

However, they also list the RAC 900 for a reasonable price?:-
