What air compressors do you all use out there to inflate/deflate tires?

I have the Ford Performance portable ARB single compressor. Got it for free with Ford points. Will probably remove it from the portable box and mount it to the bronco someplace someday.

Currently rocking this bad boy. Sure, it takes me 1.5 hours to re-inflate all my tires, and I have to wait another 30 minutes before it cools down enough to where I can safely pack it away without burning it all down, but it's got a built-in gauge, and that's what matters (it's usually off by 5-7 psi).

cheap harbor freight that was on sale for $50
https://www.harborfreight.com/12v-1...63184.html?_br_psugg_q=12+volt+air+compressor

cheap 4 tire hose kit was $35 when i bought it.
https://www.amazon.com/TireEQ-Press...229588&sprefix=4+tire+hose+air,aps,108&sr=8-2

Digital pressure gauge
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MBY35K6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It inflates all 4 tires from 16psi to 34psi in about 10-12 minutes. I would guess the compressor would trip out and need to cool off if it took any longer but its not bad for my needs. Only have time to go offroading in KY about 3-4 times a year so was hard to justify spending a lot more on a better system.
The hose kit is not very thick and probably won't last too long but so far so good. (also one spring clamp to keep the air flow going without having to hold the lever on the gauge)

Started with my M12 Portable Milwaukee inflator, but after it killing a battery after 4 tires and taking way too long, we moved to the twin ARB under the hood. Wayyyy better 👌

I noticed on Ford Site disclaimer to the effect: this does not fit the vehicle in your garage. I guess you are using without problem. This the "single" compressor that is about $450 on the Ford site [and probably cheaper elsehwere]?
