I am not a professional reviewer, but I know enough to disclose that I received an unsolicited message from a representative of Tozalazz on this forum via private message to which it was inquired if I would like to try their product. In exchange I would write a review about said product. I warned them that I had no problem with that as long as they understand it is always possible it would not be a favorable one. They agreed and thus here we are.

The Review:

This product is what it is, a compressor, so much like previous reviews for other products if its function is simple and straight forward I am not going to make some drawn out review as I don't need to meet some requirement for monetization. You hook it up, flip a switch, and the wizardry known as air flow does its job. I mean really, if you sell a product meant to produce air flow, it is kind of hard to screw this up.

Lets start with a comparison based on paper math.

Tozalazz does appear to be on Amazon, you can also buy directly from https://tozalazz.com

Edit: They just advised me this forum can use the following "Warmcode" coupon for $20.00 off directly on their website.

It is a dual-cylinder compressor and much like when you were a kid, you knew 2 cookies was better than 1. Here are the paper stats offered by the company:

11.65CFM, 330L/Min at 0 PSI, 7 CFM at 30 psi
Dual Cylinders Drive motor power: 540 watts each, 1080 watts in total
Up to 150PSI working pressure
Duty cycle: 15 min on, 3~5 min off
US standard male plug fitting adapter12v, 90amps peak, ~50amp running\
65 dB noise level from 1ft distance
8ft power cord with battery clamps
25ft air hose and quick connector
Total Weight 23lbs

The price for their product is $232.00 dollars. (On Amazon and their website there is currently a $15.00 off coupon offered)

The design seems typical of other Amazon based compressors. Its big and its beefy. You could probably also use it as a blunt weapon in a zombie apocalypse to dispatch your enemies with cruel efficiency.

Now lets look at the paper comparison with the elephant in the room; ARB.

They offer a variety of setups (including a self contained box version), but for sake of comparison I found the cheapest bare bones offering I believe they offer which comes out to $616.00 dollars. Here are the paper stats offer by the company:

Voltage 12 Volts (CKMTA12)
Current Draw No-Load 28A (CKMTA12 only) Load 50A (CKMTA12 only)
Air Flow 174.3L/min @ 0Bar [6.16CFM @ 0psi] / 131.7L/min @ 2Bar [4.65CFM @ 29psi]
Total Weight 8.8kg [19.4lbs]
Size 102mm x 190mm x 275mm (H,L,W) [4.0” x 7.5” x 10.8”]
Outlet Port 1 /4” NPT
Pressure Switch Open 10.3Bar [150psi] / Closed 9.3Bar [135psi]
Safety Valve OPEN @ > ~12.4Bar [180 psi]


So lets look at this for face value. If the Tozalazz has a service life (which I cannot comment on) similar to ARB, then what really matter is dollar vs performance; which Tozalazz seems to come ahead of ARB based on paper math. Tozzalaz doubles CFM at 0psi and has about 3 more CFM under load. Everything else is comparable.

The ARB unit however does have a smaller foot print. So really we are talking about a $400 difference for if you need an air compressor to fit in a specific smaller area, or you want to buy one hell of an expensive insurance plan since ARB has an established product track. However with that said consider two things; first I am not sure of the actual origin of manufacturer on ARB (both products could originate from same region), and second Amazon generally offers 3-4 year replacement plans for something like $15.00

ARB will however get you more Instagram hits if that is your thing. So there is that.

Personal Experience with Tozalazz Product:

So look, I'll say it again, its a simple product with one specific purpose. I deflated a tire on my truck and used it. It does what its suppose to and quickly.

"It puts the air in the tire or it gets the hose again."

Now for more specific to my build, I hard mounted it on my roof platform. I plan to hard wire it to a second battery unit at the rear and also hard connect the initial hosing to a bulk face mount on a side panel for quick connections/disconnections. However the first thing I needed to do was find a way o weatherize it, so the first go around I just hunted down a small ATV winch cover and that did the trick:

100-0291.jpg


100-0294.jpg


But as of a few days ago I found a better solution by way of an old SKB utility case I had floating around in my garage. I had to remove the steel base plate the compressor was mounted to to get it to fit, but it works. I had previously used this case for another project, so I need to reconfigure it for its new purpose, but the case is a solid base from which to fabricate the setup I have in mind.

I will say that the unit sent to me was well packaged with a solid box and high density styrofoam, however there was some chipped/damaged parts of the black finish. This would indicate the damage or quality assurance problem occurred prior to shipping. I imagine if I had paid for this product that would be aggravating. However it is of little consequence to me as I plan to tear the unit down for a different coating anyhow.

Very thorough, of course and lots of great pics and real-world implementation.

Looks like a solid air compressor and, if it's good enough for you, it'll far exceed any circumstance I'd be in using it (like after plugging a hole in the dump).

Thanks!

No, not Soupie at the dump, a dramatization ... =p

If it will pump that tire back up in less than a day, I'll take one.

Good review. And nice rig you have there.
As for longevity, you could buy 2 of these for the price of ARB, well worth the risk.
It's why I buy cheap tools from Harbor Freight for my limited home use. If it breaks, I can buy a second one and still be ahead on price.

But Murphy’s law will always find you! When you need it out in the boonies is when it dies! So just order another one! ?

You act as if gucci products aren't subject to Murphy. lol

But anyone who is going to be deep in back country should know, 1 is non and 2 is 1.

I also keep a spare cheap 12v socket tire inflator in my gear, but really, with most of the beefy tires we all run, if you need something to air up/down a tire for reasons besides traction - then the tire in question is probably destroyed and no brand of compressor is going to save that day.

That's a pretty fancy, and enviable, rig you have. I've always admired your ingenuity and would like to have thought my old FJ was similar (KC Daylighters when they were cool and a massive amp draw, 2 spare tires, 40 gallon fuel tank, PTO winch, rifles, and even a cassette toilet!).

But those glory days have faded and the only way I'll get an overland Ranger is to go the easy route. Only $14.99 on eBay.
