TESTING RESULTS
Design features: at first glance, BERKUT АНТ-626 and TORNADO are very much alike, and the truth is that they have many common features.
But there are noticeable differences if you take a closer look at the compressors and find out more about them. The first and the main thing that distinguishes BERKUT from THE TORNADO, is the productivity: in the former it is scarcely higher, since the consumed current in АНТ-626 is one ampere more than in TORNADOS. BERKUT is equipped with the more
contemporary manometer, which will no longer slow down at the most inappropriate moment, but it sufficiently and accurately issues
the results of measurements.
Convenience of use and safety: the compressor is sufficiently compact and doesn't have a very large amount of weight. Connection to the automobile is achieved through the cigarette socket. There is a small capsule on the supply lead containing a 15-ampere safety device. And we nearly forgot to mention a small, waterproof bag for storage and transportation of the compressor
that's included in a complete set, and also a set of three nozzles for the inflation of boats, ponds, mattresses, and balls. It is interesting that at the end of the hose, instead of the customary quick-detachable pumping nozzle, the producers placed brass nozzle that you
screw on. The reliability of this construction is doubtlessly the best. Is it convenient, or not - you be the judge, but let us put it this way - this is a matter of habit: through the screwed nozzle that's connected to the wheel, the loss of air is somewhat more. In the reality concerning the consumed current for the safety purpose of automobile wiring, it would be better to connect the compressor directly to the accumulator instead of the cigarette socket.
Productivity: the productivity of the compressor is almost level with the productivity of our compatriot named MUSTANG. Two atmospheres of the pressure were raised by the compressor altogether in only two minutes and twenty seconds which is a very good result. The maximum pressure, developed by the pump is 7 atmospheres, which was raised by BERKUT very quietly and unconstrainedly. Besides, it is worthwhile to mention that the compressor in the process of work was heated very insignificantly. And it shouldn't be forgotten to give the compressor a time-out every twenty minutes during use.
Price: $55.
RESUME
Merits: high productivity.
Deficiencies: not noted.
General estimation: this compressor is very suficient for the owners of small cars; it will easily pump the volumetric tires of off-road builders or small trucks, since the pump has sufficiently high productivity and maximum pressure. But it has to be remembered to give it a rest every 20 minutes during use.
