To all of you awesome reviewers, is the pressure gauge correct in reading? Because I see some complaint of faulty readings compared to another gauge.

Yep. It's off by about 5 pounds. It reads more than what you actually have in the tire.

Like most other pressure gauges that are part of the air compressor,they seem to read high until you turn the compressor off and wait until it "settles".Then the reading is accurate.Just go a few lbs. over,shut it off,wait a bit and look at the gauge.If you over fill,it's just a matter of letting some air out.No big deal.It's a super good compressor.

The gauge reads 300psi, but it only gives me about 120 psig i think, its maybe more like 110 psig, anymore the regulator starts to leak off the extra pressure. This sucks....

I tried to buy a pressure sensor gauge my local store. It didn't work. I bought one from Amazon and it works pretty good. I would go to a dealer and find out exactly what you need.

You're right. It will drip IF the gauge is turned other than almost upright. Mine stays at a slight angle to make it easier to read and I haven't lost any fluid from it. Also, I really like the gauge. Not sure what the result would be if you didn't make the cut.

I didn't have any problem with the gauge. Having never used this product and not being a car guy I was using the gauge, but once the compressor kicked on the needled redlined. So I had to start letting coolant out, while the compressor was engaged, until the needle on the dial dropped back to the proper zone. Some of those responses may have been from people like me who have no experience and just don't know how to work it properly. That being said, I am sure you could buy just a gauge on amazon or your local car supply store.

I have had no BP reading problems. When I purchased the unit my doctor asked me to bring it in on my next visit so she could check the calibration, it was fine. Now I bring in once a year for a reading calibration check and back up battery change. My Dr's like that I bring a summery chart of my daily Bp's to my visits. Because of this extra information my Bp issues were brought under control.

I ordered this for my mother, she hasn't had any problems with the reading been inaccurate. She takes this to her doctor to have them check it against their reading and it has been fine. I hope this information helps. Joyce

The gauge shows two things, and they move together. One has a * 2 * 4 * 6 (etc) scale, the other has little bars that measure each 10 pounds of pressure. The first bar corresponds to 20, then there's the number 30, then two more bars, then the number 60, etc. The needle on the gauge, when I tried it just now, begins to move when I get more than 20 lbs. of pressure into the tube. The "2" on the numeric scale roughly corresponds to 35 lbs of pressure. Hope that's helpful

I would get a 0-30 psi gauge. It would be more accurate for a low pressure reading.

After checking a tire pressure the reading on the gauge stays until the gauge goes into the " automatic shut off " then the reading disappears. Also, the reading will disappear if another pressure check is made immediately after the first check which will remain until the auto shut off occurs. The gauge does not have memory storage that can be reviewed to record pressure changes. A good example recently I had a tire with a very slow leak....I had to write down the tire pressure to compare the next test the next day to see if pressure was lost over night. It would be nice if the gauge had a small memory to compare readings. Other that that it seems to be an accurate gauge. Hope this answers your question.

I bought a ppm reader to make sure the book was correct. Mine was only 5 bucks. I rather use the meter for accuracy.

No, I've had no issues with my gauge. In fact, it's the best one I 've ever used.

I loved mine and wish to get another one soon but you have to get one from someone with at least a 4 star rating. It keeps down the possibility of you getting a broken or defective one. If the person to got it from has this kind of rating I'd return it for another. It is a bit handier than my kindle. You have more app options for it and you can read from one than one book site. (Kobo, Kindle, etc.) I hope this helps. :)

Fluid level in the gauge? No, it's sealed. If it changes, you have a hole in the gauge somehow. Never seen that.

No. Mine has pressure reading off 2-3 PSI. Since I know this I just adjust accordingly.

I have 2 of these and the humidistat seems to read differently in each one. You can't calibrate it. I just set it to achieve the humidity I want, using what I assume is a more accurate humidity gauge. This is the AcuRite gauge I use. AcuRite 00613A1 Indoor Humidity Monitor
