Arrow Quality all electric air compressor for tire filling?

I just need something simple I can use and plug into an outlet to top off my tires in the garage every so often to maintain proper tire pressures. I prefer not to use something that requires gasoline to operate if at all possible.

there are a lot of inexpensive portable units that run off of DC (12v) and they usually plug into your cigarette lighter...I don't know if there are any that use ac...you can check harbor freight to see what they have...if you get a fixed unit with a storage tank then you have to worry about moisture in the tank and getting water in your tires, which is not a good thing

Where is the one that came with the car. You get an Porsche 12V DC compressor with the car. Its a small black plastic box with the pipe and cable inside it.

I'm not sure as I'm not the original owner. I'll take a look where the spare is to see if anything is there. Where are they usually?

Normally stored under or next to the spare wheel.

I've had good luck with this Griot's Garage unit. Since it runs off the cigarette lighter, I take it to the track and re-inflate my tires at the end of the day. The screw on valve stem connector is a nice feature. Reasonable price for a quality unit.
