I've got the Costco version of this (Q-Max) and it's been working solid for 2 years. No leaks, gets the job done.

My MV-50 has a problem that I am wondering if others have. At the two-piece, brass connector to the tire valve, I often get lots of leakage unless
the brass connector is completely in-line with the tire valve. Of course, with the tension on the connector created by the yellow coiled air hose, the
only way I can keep the brass connector in line is to manually hold it in place while inflation is going on. It's a pain in the burro.

If you push in while the brass connector is attached to the tire it has a deflate function. I've found you need to ensure it's pulled all the way back
and that leakage will stop.

I need to fill to 60 psi. for the road. With that much air, x4 tires I will be spending 1/2 hour or more filling them. As a result I want something
that has a high cfm at high pressure. Have not found one yet. Right now I have a 80cf scuba tank. Works well. If there is a high cfm @ high pressure
12v compressor out there, I am interested.

I have an Extreme Aire II, it fills 265/75/16 tires from about 46 to 70 lbs in about 3.5 minutes. Let's see 3.5 times 4, carry the 1....about 14
minutes. 
I've had the pump for about 10 years and it's still going strong. I have it hard mounted in the bumper where a winch would normally go.

Viair Extreme On-Board Air Install + Pics
Installation took roughly 2 hours. That's Mike doing the Installation work.
Here's the parts that are included.
Almost installed.
Ready to inflate - the Chihuahua was included to show scale.
I inflated a 33" tire in roughly 35 seconds from 5 p.s.i. back up to 18 p.s.i., and the Nomads who watched were very impressed. Viair makes Good
stuff!

The Chihuahua was for, "illustration purposes only."LOL This is the "Extreme" setup rated for 37" tires - it comes standard with the two compressors,
not just one. I bought this one since I plan to upsize to 35" tires after the 33" tires wear down. The 37"-rated system cost $450 - about $90 more
than the 1 compressor system.
Mike (the installer) bought the 1 compressor Viair system, and he is completely satisfied since the 1 compressor airs up the air tank, and although it
does not refill the air tank as fast as my system, once the tank is fully filled, it airs up the tires at the same rate.

Thanks for the info Ken. I have one of the smaller units that plug into the cigarette lighter. I could never get all 4 of my tires aired back up
before the fuse would blow. I wrapped a gum wrapper around the fuse and "problem solved". Think I'll look into the Viair unit before I catch something
on fire.....dt
