Duty Cycle is commonly expressed in percentile as: compressor on time (compressor on time + off time) %. As an example, a compressor that is rated for 25% duty cycle means that compressor can be operated at: 100 PSI @ 72°F for 10 minutes on and 30 minutes off. 10 min. on / (10 min. on + 30 Min. off) = 10 min. / 40 Min = 25% duty cycle. 1-Year Limited Warranty VIAIR Corporation warrants this product, when properly installed and under normal conditions of use, to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from its original date of purchase.

Review: Great compressor! Doesn't make as much pressure as the ... - Great compressor! Doesn't make as much pressure as the larger units but it puts out the most volume by far. Added this one to an older 400P that I converted to permanent mount and the dual set up works great to air up the 35s on my truck in no time. FIlls the 2.5 gal tank to 150 psi in just over a minute and a half.
Review: Good Compresser - So far the compressor has been working great! I'm using it with a two gallon tank and it fills it in about a minute.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Compresser
*by A***. on December 25, 2018*

So far the compressor has been working great! I'm using it with a two gallon tank and it fills it in about a minute.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works like it should but it draws about 30 amps
*by P***R on February 11, 2015*

I am using this compressor for my train horns set to 160 PSI off 120 on. It fills a 2 gallon tank in just under 3 minutes from 0 pressure. It works like it should but it draws about 30 amps. So, 10 gauge wire and in my truck, I have 2 batteries but in a car with one battery I would caution not using this until the engine is started. I'm very happy with this unit.
