Chamberlain Garage Power Station

[Primer1]

I couldn't find any information about this here. In my opinion most "combination" products make sacrifices that may not be worth the compromise. But I could see situations where this might be a nice addition to the garage.

Anyone have any experience?

No experience with it but I would guess you're right that it ***** at everything. I'm sure it's an improvement in a one car garage with one outlet and no lights but that's about it. 100w might as well be a tea-light in my garage/shop. compresser probably takes a week to fill a tire, air line/cord/light combo is probably mediocre at best at any of those tasks.

I must received one as a gift.. Installed it and works decent so far. Does take a while to fill tire but I like it for the cord and light more than anything. I have only had it installed a few hours I will report back later.

Not the sort of thing that I would buy but is the sort of thing people buy for the "car guys" in their families.

I like it so far. It's really handy as a retractable extension cord. I've used it a lot so far.

I had a old craftsman retractable drop/ work light years ago until it wouldnt retract one day. I thought gimicky as hell, but very handy and last almost 15 years.

$129 for Platypus of mediocre stuff . . . I'd rather have spent that money on better tools for the job.

If it was $59 then it might be worth sending off with college student or someone in apartment for the first time.

digging this up for a quick "review" in case anyone searches for it wife bought me one in July got it for $50 minus Menards rebate of $25. half the LED's never worked and the compressor failed this morning. Chamberlain won't warranty it, Menards said to bring it back and I would get a $25 credit check but a new one is $70.... not worth it. I liked the idea of having a worklight/extension cord and tire inflator right there easy to grab but this was junk.
