I have a big tanked portable air compressor that crapped out on me. I just need an AC tire inflator. I know you get what you pay for, i want to spend about $60 or so. Could please recommend something that is AC powered that isn't junk. I don't need professional grade, just inflate tires and sit in my garage.

I have had one of these for around 7 years or so. Its more than your budget but its a nice portable air compressor. It not oil less, and its not nearly as loud as other compressors.

OP...this is what you seek...
Viair 88P It’s DC and uses alligator clips to the battery...but more powerful than any AC 12v cig lighter compressor will be. It’s probably the best bang for the buck in their compressor line too. Check it out. |

I have one of these. It will inflate your spare tire quickly. It has a good sized rechargeable battery inside that can be used to power electrical items or even power an inverter to provide AC power. It has a built-in pressure gage, too.

I use a Slime tire inflator. Bought it at walmart about a few years back. It's around the price you're are looking at.

Pay attention to the duty cycle when buying a compressor. Many have a low duty cycle which is not long enough to fill one tire without having to shut it off to cool down before finishing. Sure it will run longer than the listed duty cycle time, but it will decrease the life of the compressor. If you’re going to use it fairly regularly, get something heavier duty like the Viair I linked above. It’s made for more regular use.
