Chinese junk. I purchased the orange one a little over a year ago and there were three issues.
1. Readout was very hard to read and you had to cup your hand around it to try to read numbers.
2. It takes a long time to inflate a tire.
3. I used it twice and my neighbor used it once, then it stopped working.
If you want to find an inexpensive tire inflator, I would suggest going with a Ryobi 18V One+ inflator.

I had a different experience but I used the yellow one pictured vs. your orange version.
I caught a flat at night and pulled into a nearby parking lot. There was bad lighting where I parked but the built in flashlight helped a lot. The readout was very bright. It pumped my SUV tires from 12 PSI to 30 PSI in eight minutes flat. That didn't feel too bad to me. I had on Goodyear Comfortread Assurances.
I pumped my tires again the next morning from 10 PSI to 30 PSI before driving to the mechanic to plug it and the readout was fine even during daylight. Well worth the $20 to help me get home that night and out to the mechanic the next morning.

The orange and yellow are the same thing. Just different colors. Mine was used three times before it stopped working, Now I'm sticking with the Ryobi. Faster and much more reliable.

Does the Ryobi work with the car power, or only their battery? Which Ryobi battery did you get? Thanks!
I bought this at list and used it once. It's great as long as you know it needs the car cig lighter to work, it's not either a battery or a plug that goes into the wall. It worked well though.

I wonder why there are so few plug in ones now. i just want one that i can keep in the garage.

I have the same one as well, although these comments are not very accurate, the item feels like a piece of plastic indeed. I used it several times on multiple cars. Buttons are a bit flimsy, pump sometimes decides to not to run, maybe there is a failsafe option. I ended up pressing power button a few times to get it running. But still for it's price, it is OK.
One more thing, they offer gifts for amazon review feedback, so don't trust all comments there. But you can probably get your money back.

Yes, by TTI, but they are reputable. Not everything made in China is necessarily good or bad, but there's not much of an in-between. When I go back and look at the reviews for this specific product, they seem very familiar to my experience. The low ratings are for the product initially working then breaking after several uses, which was my experience as well.
I needed one of these last week. I searched slick deals posts and saw this one. But while I was browsing I realized that the pump should be powerful enough to fill the air but also it shouldn't fry the fuse in the car. I found a model that can be directly hooked to the battery also with a dual cylinder. I don't know the brand or the real quality but I ordered one and it worked pretty nice. It filled a completely flat tire within seconds. It seems a decent option if you are looking for one of these.
