Default Recommendations for Home Tire Inflator

After years of service, my Sears "Air Station" that I've used to inflate my vehcile tires with has pumped its last bit of air and I'm in need of a reliable replacement. I don't want to screw around with the air compressor and hose on the Cayenne.

Anyone have a strong recommendation for a possible replacement?

Unless you want a 12V unit, Harbor Freight has a small pancake compressor on sale for $40.

This is what I use. The only issue is related to the volume of air so depending on how much air you need to add, like when doing multiple tires, the unit may need to restart. Other than that, and it being very noisy, it works fine. I use it mainly for my nail gun but the portability makes it nice for the car.

I do have a large 220v 60gallon Sears compressor out in the shop but I'm with the other guys in that I bought the small Harbor Freight compressor about 6mo ago for the house garage and it works good.

I've been using the one sold @ Costco warehouse. I can take care of up to 4 SUV tires at a time, not sure what would happen but I stopped since the unit got pretty hot.
