Customer Reviews for VECTOR 800 Peak Amp Automotive Jump Starter, Portable Power - Triple 15W USB Ports, 120 PSI Air Compressor

I thought that I was getting a quality product from The Home Depot. I bought it for $90. I charged it fully. It wouldn't even jump off my lawnmower. The little light and air compressor works fine. But, boosting off is a problem. If it can't jump off a mower, I'm very suspicious about it jumping off an automobile. It won't hold a charge long after one boost attempt.

Worked great when I first bought it. A year has passed and it dies immediately when you use the air inflator. Did not jump start my car after full charge. Anytime I use the USB or other accessories it will die after one use. Took camping and used to fill an air mattress and battery was dead after one use. Sucks when we just got there and couldn’t use it anymore. Reached out to customer service for possible defective battery but they just said it’s been over a year so they can’t do much.

The Vector 800 is a very solid portable jump pack. With three (3) USB ports, an adjustable work light, 800 AMPs of jump power and an air compressor, this is a great option to keep you on the road and get you out of trouble. Pack has the ability to quickly check how much power the pack has. Easily charge your devices with the three available ports, and air up automotive or bicycles tires with the onboard air compressor. Jump start feature has the ability to get most dead batteries back to life. While I definitely recommend this pack, there are a few things that I'd like to mention. First, the compressor is a bit slow, but it does the job. Pay attention to the gauge on the compressor as generally the PSI measure is most often used and it is the inside measurement. I also want to mention that if you want this pack ready for an emergency, you should charge it after every use.

it never worked as as jumpstart for me all I’ve used it for to pump my tires that worked. Otherwise, I have tried couple of times to jumpstart car battery never worked.

I bought this to help other people if someone needs a jump or even myself, had a full charge the first day after that it only shows one bar I need to exchange us or take it back ASAP!

I love it. It’s all in one. I can jump start air tires or foot ball charge my phones and come with a light. Great product

Used this item one time as an air compressor. Went to use it for a second time and the battery was dead. Does not hold a long term charge. I want my money back. This product will be getting returned.

Unit won't fully charge and keeps making a fan/whirring sound when not in use. Only thing that could make the sound stop is to turn it on AC mode, but that depletes the battery.

Bought a Vector 800 a rechargeable batter pack did a full charge on daily one used once 3 weeks later recharged it about 11/2 weeks ago went to use it today and the batter was down to 1 bar not worth the money don’t recommend buying it.

I brought this in December or January and used it to put air in my tire, after following the charging instructions. However, this morning I needed to jump my car off this was ”fully charged” no ma’am no sir it wouldn’t even jump my car off and I ended up being late. I put it on the charger this was at 7:45am. It is now 6:52pm and it’s not fully charge. Going to exchange it maybe this one might have a bad cell or something will be back with an update.

I was looking for a jump starter that I could keep with me while my battery that was on order arrived. This thing fit the bill and worked multiple times without recharging. I have a 2017 Dodge Ram and I ordered a gel battery that took almost a week to get in. In the meantime, my truck would work if it was on but the battery couldn’t hold a charge. As soon as I shut it off it lost the power to start my truck. I would pop this jump starter on and boom, started right up everytime and multiple times before recharging. I’ll always keep this with me from now on! A must have!

It seemed like a pretty good price but it’s a total piece of crap. I charged it fully but as soon as it went to jump a low battery it said low as soon as I pulled it out the outlet. Don’t waste your time on this I don’t know who in their right mind would give this five stars unless they’re paid by a sponsor.

Had a car sitting in my garage with 2 completely flat tires and 2 low tires, filled them all with battery left! I did charge the battery 24 hours before using as recommended. Took roughly 15 minutes to get my completely flat tires to 35psi. Was $49.98 on the shelf.

Things does everything you can think of - is an emergency jump starter and air compressor and has USB ports for gadget charging and a flashlight. The USB ports are rated for 3Amps. The flashlight is attached by a pivot on the side and feels like very lightweight plastic and I suspect it will get snapped off fairly quickly - be careful with it! The compressor has a gauge that goes to 120 psi, which seems like a lot. The box says it can go to 120 psi, but you really should never exceed 80% of the gauge range - so treat it like it has a 96 psi max would be a good idea. The compressor is VERY loud, so don't expect to do any quiet top-offs with this compressor. Every dog in the neighborhood will be on high alert! It comes with a sticker that says not to run the compressor for more than 10 minutes without letting it cool off for 30 more minutes. The compressor hose had a nice threaded connection which I find much more reliable than the old lever style connectors that can be very fussy. This unit comes with a small power brick for charging, which is ETL rated for safety. It has another sticker that says you should charge it after each use and once a month otherwise. The most important detail is hidden on the label on the back. It says the Instantaneous Output is 350Amps and the maximum use is 5 Seconds ON at 225 Amps followed by OFF for 1 minute. This means you can try to crank a car or truck for five seconds, then need to wait a minute to try again for another five seconds. That is not a very robust capability.

Jumper only works with 4 and 6 cylinder engines??? It has a 12 volt DC outlet and 2A USB port. Reverse polarity LED indicator and audible alarm. Battery power level button and LED battery status indicators. 700 A peak battery jump start. It takes a while to charge this power pack initially using an extension cord. Have yet to try out...............

This has given me a greater sense of security. If I break-down, I feel that I could handle the situation - to jump my car. I could also, possibly, be able to assist someone else. Already, my next door neighbor has purchased one. One of his cars a a battery issue, and he was able to use this and immediately start the vehicle. This will prevent me from having to use jumper cables from my car to assist someone else and possible damage my car.

Vector 700 Amp Jump Starter with USB This is a very nice compact jump starter It is very easy to use It has a usb charger setup you can charge your phone or other devices It also has an accessory charger for things that plug into a cigarette lighter. It also has a button you push that will tell you the battery level of the jump starter. The cable leads are a decent length The instructions say that it can’t be over charged I plugged it in overnight then it was ready to go. I hope to get many years of service from this jump starter. I definitely recommend this item

The Vector - Vector 800 Peak Amp Jump Starter, 120 PSI Air Compressor, Three USB Charging Ports, is a very nice Jump Starter and with a few tweaks it would be a five star device. The Cords for the Jump Starter at only about 24inches long and could be a little longer and the hose for tire pressure is about 21 inches long and could be a little longer but the gauge for the tire pressure needs to be larger or better yet needs to be digital so you can read it clearly.

This jump starter seems sturdy. The USB ports work great for both powering up an item and charging a phones battery. As you can see by the picture, there is a battery life display so you know how much life is left in the jump starters battery. The air pump seems to be able to air up a cars tire, but time will tell when I really need it. The air display is good and the on/off switch is functional. The air line is a bit short though. The jump starter cables work good but can be a bit challenging to hook onto a side post battery. This jump starter will start a small to mid sized vehicle, but might have a struggle with a larger truck.

This jump box has a lot of features like, A USB plug, 12 volt accessory outlet700 peak amp jump started and a built in 120 volt AC charger. We used it to jump start our truck and our Kubota tractor. Easy to hold and transport. It has a rubber handle for a secure grip. It has a battery status indicator light and a power level button .This little power box is great to have around the house and in the car.

I have a slow leak in one of my car tires, so the Vector 800 Peak Amp Jump Starter, 120 PSI Air Compressor, Three USB Charging Ports, Rechargeable has been getting a good workout. First of all, it is super-convenient, just grab it and go. It will top-off a full set of car tires, or fill one or two from empty. It starts to run out of juice on larger truck tires. The air pump only runs off the internal battery, which limits what you can do. In addition, there is a warning not to run the device longer than 10 minutes, which will barely fill a bicycle tire! I've been ignoring that, so far no problems. Another issue is the charger - it comes with a 120vac wall charger, and tells you not to use anything else. The charging voltage is actually 12 volts, so it could run right off your lighter plug if it came with the adapter. There would probably be no harm in plugging it in, but I haven't tried it. Both the air hose and the jumper cables are rather short, just long enough to get the job done. On the other hand, the whole thing packs up very neat. The battery clamps are the smallest I have ever seen, but they do fit. 800 amps should be plenty to start most car engines. The air gauge is lighted and actually fairly accurate, and the little flashlight could be very handy. What this thing really needs is the ability to run/charge off a 12v lighter socket. It is a mixed bag for sure, but I have already gotten a lot of good use from it.

Good things start with its comfortable carrying handle. I have a 1200 Amp jump box – which is quite heavy. This lightweight totes 800 Amps and that’s enough to encompass the CCA rating of nearly all my family’s vehicle batteries. When I’m taking it along, it earns a spot right near my truck console. See Photo 1. There its USB ports are handy for passengers. It’s really easy to check the energy level – and recharge as necessary. It does driveway duty sometimes servicing bikes and balls. The cables are a lot less cumbersome than my standalone set. But while they don’t reach as far, I’m not relying on another vehicle. They extend fine from a perch on the upper radiator support or a breaker panel near the battery. See Photo 2. The clamps are robust and aggressively seize terminals with well-formed teeth and strong hinge springs. They stow compactly by belaying in “S” fashion around two trunnions. For transport the clamps can be latched to thin walls of the case which does not fatigue the clamp springs. An error check circuit detects and alerts one to improper connections. A power switch allows handling non-energized clamps. For nighttime under hood work or tire maintenance, a work light mounted on the jumper’s side can be aimed where needed. See Photo 3. The control panel bears a USB button switch and indicator, energy level monitors (and test button), correct connection indicator, and the jump (boost) rotary switch. The back side of the jump box supports the (screw on) inflator hose, inflator switch and pressure gauge. See Photo 4. The air hose shares its stowage compartment with the 120 VAC charger that connects just below the carrying handle. See Photo 5. I found it necessary to tuck the air hose under the carrying handle to keep it in place. See Photo 6. The air pressure gauge is clearly graduated. See Photo 7. I did find a disrupted seam on the case bottom that impeded perching the jump box on a narrow upper radiator support. See Photo 8. However, this did not affect any function of the device.

This is just a great all in one that meets a whole lot of needs first of all it is a jumper you can use for auto, lawn mower or any other battery operated thing. It is also a air compressor which you screw the end of tube on to your valve stem and a light automatically lights up the display just turn it on and when it reaches the amount you need turn off unscrew and another job complete. It also will inflate balls and an adapter comes with this for that use. I think this is made really well and it also has a light on the side that you can use to illuminate the area you are working in at night.

The Vector 700 Amp Jump Starter with USB is reasonably priced and should fit the needs of the average car that may need a jump because of a weak or dying car battery. As most people will keep it in the trunk of their car it is important to check the state of the internal sealed lead-acid battery about once a month and keep it fully charged. This will keep it ready for use whenever needed and also prolong the life as the lead-acid battery last the longest when kept fully charged. This Jump starter also has a USB charging port to charge cell phones and tablets plus a 12 volt DC power port. The charging port on the back of the unit takes a standard 120V extension cord. They do not supply an extension cord because I guess they feel most people have them around their homes and it cuts down on cost for the manufacturer. I was a bit surprised they did not supply the cord as all of the other jump starters I have purchased did supply a charge cord. This unit has reverse polarity protection so you cannot jump a completely dead battery as the jump starter needs to see at least 2 volts with the correct polarity. The battery clamps seem strong and of good quality. The 12 gauge cables seem a bit short but should be adequate for most cars. I like this 700 peak amp jump starter as it is a good size and light weight and has USB and 12 volt power port. I feel as long as you remember to keep it charged it will save the day when you need it most. The Vector 700 Amp Jump Starter has a one year warranty.

the Vector 800 amp jump starter is the perfect product to keep in your SUV, car or truck. Note that 800 peak amps will start most everything including v8 engines. Compact unit, sits next to battery for jumping. Be sure to attach the negative to the chassis to avoid sparks around the battery. The positive clamp is RED so be sure you attach to the positive side of the battery. As you can see from the photos, there are 3 red light to tell you charge level. 3 USB ports are great for speaker hookup on a job site or to charge your phone. Flash light works great for hands free jumping. Air compressor seem to work like my others, but now its all in one unit, saving me space in the pickup. I'll be sure to have the truck for emergencies.

This VECTOR 4in1 portable power was quite a surprise with all it has to offer. For my thoughts the most important is the 800A. jump cables which will start most cars and light trucks. Next would be the air compressor, which could air up a tire or two before you ran out of power to run the air pump. Third would be the 3.1A USB ports, which there are three ports. Fourth would be the LED work light. In all this VECTOR 4in1 portable power would be a very handy item around the garage and especially out away from home fishing or hunting. I've tried out everything on this VECTOR 4in1 portable power and it worked excellent in all tests, and I am very happy with it.

At just under $70.00 this 700 Peak Amp Jump Starter with One USB Charging Port that is Rechargeable by Vector is a bit on the pricy side. They now have much smaller jump starters for slightly more than this one is but its not a bad deal. Heavy gauge cables and easy operation. You need to supply an ordinary extension cord to recharge this power pack. Some of the knobs seem a little flimsy so only time will tell how it holds up getting tossed around my truck bed toolbox.

Nice compact, lightweight automotive or marine battery jump starter by Vector. This is a must-have item especially when traveling. The product fully charged in about two hours using a short extension cord from a previous unit. The two-prong male charging outlet on the back of the unit has a rubber cover which is a little awkward (see photo #4) but adds good protection. I like how the terminal clamps store on the side facing up in a crossover fashion which makes it easier to handle. One 2.4V USB port for mobile device charging and one 12V cigarette lighter socket is sufficient, and you can purchase a USB adapter for this socket for charging a second mobile device as shown in photo #5. Follow instructions recommending charging cycle because in the end, it depends on the quality of the internal 12V lead-acid battery as to how well this unit will perform in the future. FYI, the internal battery is replaceable if it fails to hold a charge down the road!

I ordered the Vector 700 peak Amp jump starter. It includes one USB port with 2.1 amp of power. It provides reverse battery connection alarm. It is compatible with a 12 volt battery. It has a built in 120 volt AC charger. The metal clamps are power coated. It has a carry handle. Works with 4 and 6 cylinder engines. It also has a 12 volt DC outlet. It can start most cars or trucks without the need for another vehicle. Great tool to have for our garage and it works great.

This seems to be an all in one safety system if you are needing a rechargeable jump starter with compressor. The size is perfect for travel fits in any trunk of your car even under a seat if you have a large truck. make sure you fully charge the system before using this will avoid any shortcomings. I don’t suggest using extension cord as you may lose power or stream. I am not 100% confident in the jumpstart based on different vehicles it may pull more power than this little guy has but in an instance where your battery is dead this is a good option but I don’t think it’s the only option. The flashlight is cool and provides plenty of light and dark areas moving the system around will get you plenty of light and the flashlight moves up and down the charging port for phones and other technology is helpful as well and the compressor is great for filling air to small tires. Ideal for camping and stuff like that. only takes a few minutes to use the compressor wrap it up put it up and you’re good to go. when the unit is not in use they suggest charging every 30 days. Overall the system is great for charging and providing air to insulate along with the lighting system again the actual jump starter is not a definite depending on what you were trying to jumpstart.
