Good small handy pump
I like how this product is small and compact but can pack a punch when it is inflating my tyres. I leave this handy under my boot in my car. Its got a wide range of uses as i can inflate my tyres to a football to using the adapters to even inflate objects that i would have to blow to inflate with my mouth. Its got a very strong screw type connector which makes it safer as others are push on and they could pop out at a certain psi
Excellent compresso
Purchased to replace a previous compressor which had broken this one smaller, easier to use and does the job well. Use the pre set pressure, easy to attach to valves and inflates without to much noise.
Good value for money.
Cheap but Brilliant!
I kept holding off buying a portable inflator, but saw this at a great price and it has not let me down.
Set the desired pressure and it just goes, quickly too!
Cable length is perfect.
Does the job
Look if you think this is going to blow up your 4×4 tyres and have along life then spend the few hundred pounds and buy the correct unit. But if you want an occasional back up pump that saves you losing money at the petrol stations with the air pump that usually is broken. Then this does the job.
Love this – saved my bacon, had a slow puncture but had to order replacement tyres, this kit topped up my tyres every day until I could get it replaced, easy to use, really quick and saved a trip to the garage every day – really happy with this and have bought a second as a gift. Handy piece of kit 🙂
This is one of those items that I wish I had known about earlier. Checking the tiers I’ll confess is one of my least favourite jobs, and this takes away the need to queue at a garage and muck about with those grimy machines on the petrol garage court. Now I just check my car tyres at home. It’s easy to use, light weight and does the job. As for the accuracy I cannot comment – I haven’t gone straight to a garage after using the pump to compare.
Customer care are fantastic but have not got it working ye
Customer care are fantastic but have not got it working yet.
As I complains on the first item arrived but did not work, So I have sent them an email explained the problem and they have sent me a replacement the next days. that is fantastic but still have not able to get it working yet. Not sure where the false is?
Amazing
Can’t big this product up enough, inflates tyres very quickly easy to use has a torch so in the dark can still be used programmable for every tire pressure if I could go higher than 5 stars I would
EDITED:
Perfect, did what I wanted.
This is easy to use, even for us women! I can do this, you can do this, we can do this .
Lightweight, easy to carry around. Cable is very long, keep the tie that comes with this so it’s kept neat.
Plug into cigaret lighter and turn on your engine. Enter your PSI pressure +|-Screw onto your tyre & keep hold of the tyre cap (You can check your max PSI pressure on the wheel, inside car door or your car manual)
Press the switch on button. It will auto shut down once it’s reached your PSI pressure.
Unscrew quickly and put cap back onto your wheel, do the other tyres if needed and then turn off engine.
It only took me just under 2 mins to inflate my tyre from 20 to 38 PSI.
Easy as chips, Bish bash bosh, Done and dusted!
Thank you very much SIMPLES!
I didn’t realise you could of used the extra part that clips onto the tyre instead of screwing it on, (the long bit with a clip) that probably would of been even quicker and easier than screwing on, even though it’s still easy! Explains why it said 36 PSI when I was unscrewing it off, let out a little bit of air, oops oh well.
Edited part:
This stopped working. Thought it was my car but clearly not. Checked the devise itself and the anything that looked out of place. All clear, whilst checking it out the chord near the cigarette plug had instructions for changing the fuse. Found my spear fuse that came with it and unscrewed it. You have to also use pliers as well (had to google what that was called btw) on the silver bit, (some of you nay have better grip than I do & won’t need pliers) it will unscrew there as well. No need to yank it apart otherwise the parts may fly away. I copied the picture on the chord and put the parts back together. Not too hard tbf just a little fiddly thats all. Plugged it back in my car and walla it worked. I also ordered a few more fuses just incase: 15a 30mm if you need to know which you can also order on Amazon.
Takes to long to pump anything up
I actually brought this for along with my tyres to blow up my paddle board, my board only goes to 15psi and it took nearly half an hour to blow it up, I haven’t tried it on my tyres just as there 40psi so I dread to think how long each tyre would take
It's grea
This piece of kit is fantastic. Went out to car to go shopping and had a flat, came back in ordered it and arrived next day. Very easy to use and good instructions tyre pumped in about 5 mins.
Would recommend to anyone.
ive lived outside the uk for 7 years, where the country I lived in the air was free…moved back to the uk and its a quid…im like I want to check tyre pressure not blow up a hot air balloon….so I bought this which is easy to use its a little noisy but then I don’t use it at 3am…has a light and several adapters to blowing all sorts of stuff….basically it pays for itself
Good item
Used on car tyres. Easy to use and seems accurate. Easy to put on valve and snap lever to lock. Lot better than having to go to local garage every time. Handy to have in car incase it’s needed too.
Works as stated
Being able to set the correct pressure before inflating is a plus for me as I can just leave it until it stops at the correct pressure. Also there are additional adapters included that I can be use to inflate other devices such an inflatable awning or camp bed.
I had a problem with this item. AstroAI replaced it with no quibble even though it was out of the return period and were so helpful at addressing the issue. I have never experienced such quality customer service from a product provider.
Perfec
I’m a dainty woman who is always in a rush, this little gadget rides with me so I will never be caught short. Its very easy to use, comes with an attachment and built in torch. Its very lightweight and does the job quick. Buy it – its saves me so many trips to the petti station and is so compact I barely notice it in my boot.
Perfect Air Compresso
Does exactly what it said in the description before purchase. So easy to set up. Tyres inflated to the correct pressure in minutes. The pump does run a bit noisy, but not enough to disturb neighbours. It is lightweight without any fussy complication instruction. Word of caution…..Make sure your engine is running before operating the pump. Immediate drain on 12v battery without engine running could cause fuses to blow.
Very usefull
I bought this when my tyre started deflating and I didn’t knew why. I keep in the trunk just in case I ever need it. It has multiple valve adaptors and I was able to inflate both my car tyres and my bicycle tyres. It’s very to use.
Just plug in the cigar slot, connect it to the tyre you wish to inflate, set the desired psi or bar, and turn it on. Once the tyre has inflated to the desired psi it automatically stops, so you don’t have to worry about your tyre being overinflated. It also comes with a flashlight in case you need to inflate your tyre during the night.
It’s so usefull and good I even bought one for my mother’s car. You never know when you might need it.
No more running round to the petrol station.
Cannot fault it in any way. Simple to use and reasonably priced. How accurate a little unsure. Tried the next door neighbours and it read the same but not exactly scientific….maybe one day I’ll fork out another 50p and check it with my garage. Recommend.
Ideal portable tyre inflato
At a very reasonable price, this portable pump is best bargain. I used it. It is very easy to use, it is accurate, portable, light weight. You will never go wrong. Besides you will save money at commercial pumps.
VERY HAPPY
Just got this and it works a treat. Does in a couple of minutes what would have taken me at least quatter of an hour and a lot of effort with my old foot pump.
car tyre compresso
Overall, it looks of decent quality, works well, just quite noisy. I like that the display is on top, so it is easier to see than for units where it is on the side.
Check the digital reade
The values on the digital reader I received were not correct. I set the pressure to the recommended setting for bicycle tyres (40 psi) but it exploded the tyre. It seems to treat 40psi as 400psi. So, instead of setting pressure to 40psi, I had to set it to 4.0 psi. So be careful.
Update: AstroAI UK apologised for the error on the digital screen. They sent me a replacement air compressor without charge. That one works perfectly.
The AstroAI pump / inflator is a decent bit of kit to have around if you need to inflate tyres, balls or really anything that is compatible with the included attachments. It’s extremely easy to use by just plugging in the 12V plug, connecting the end to whatever you want inflating with the appropriate connector, setting the pressure you’d like and then flipping the switch on. It’s very easy to use, and the display is nice and clear showing what pressure unit you’re using and what it’s configured too before starting inflation.
The device will automatically shut off when the desired pressure is achieved allowing you to leave the device to inflate while you’re doing something else. The inflator is quite loud, so you’ll be able to hear when it’s done very easily. This isn’t a huge issue, however would be nice if it could have been a bit quieter.
My main issue with this particular device is it’s accuracy, and the reason I’m rating it 4 stars instead of 5. I noticed while inflating my tyres, I set the PSI pressure to 38 originally while I was figuring out how the device worked. After I did, while it was inflating the tyre, I checked the pressure recommended for my tyre, which said 39. So after the tyre finished inflating to 38 PSI, I bumped the number up to 39 PSI on the device, flipped the switch and nothing. Nothing happened, I looked at the display, and previously where it told me I was at 38 PSI in my tyre, now magically said 39 PSI but having done nothing. So I gave it a second, switched it off and back on. I then set the pressure to 40 PSI, and the exact same thing happened again, reading that my tyre was inflated to 40 PSI, even though moments earlier it was just inflated to 38 PSI.
It’s clear it’s not the most accurate device, however for the price, you can’t really expect it to be I’m sure. So for the price I paid at 27 it’s a good device to have on hand and would recommend it if you need a cheap but half decent pump to inflate things. As long as ultimate accuracy isn’t what you’re looking for.
It’s nice and compact as well, so will just live in the boot of my car should I ever need it in an emergency or to help anyone else out on my journeys.
TYRE PUMP
Only got this yesterday and used it straight away. It’s very easy to use, light and has its own built-in carry handle.
You set the pressure you need, there is a plus and minus button to aid you. Once the valve is connected, switch on and it pumps up to the pressure you want and then automatically stops.
It’s really good. The number is quite clear to read. It works quickly and effectively. We charged all 4 tyres in a flash.
The pump is a little noisy but not bad. It comes with various attachments for other items.
The handle is fixed in position.I thought it would rotate more upwards .It is fine as it is. Also, there is a torch at the front should you need it.The charger as a long cable so it can go to all the tyres well.
Had problems with the units of pressure button.
Like size, lightness and speed with which it works.
It is priced reasonably.
Did not like: there is no deflate button if you inadvertently fill tyre using the wrong unit of pressures – which was easily done. I had to manually deflate the tyre.
Once ordered the date for delivery was moved on by 3 days.
Overall I’m happy with this purchase.
Please note: I don’t know how accurate the pressure is, but couldn’t submit this review without putting something in that section.
After much agonising and research I decided to purchase this little beauty.
In itself the unit feels solid and well built. What I liked most of all was the ease of attachment to a vehicle tyre valve: by using the chuck on the pressure hose the attachment clip could be rotated for alignment onto the valve. This is superior to other inflators I have used where the pressure hose is like wrestling with a Boa thus losing pressure when attaching and removing the valve connector.
The inflator performed well bringing my tyres up from 1.8 bar to 2.2 bar within a couple of minutes and without any difficulty. The preset pressure was spot on when checked against my manual pressure gauge. Storage of pressure hose and power lead is by simply wrapping around the unit and there is a little clip on the pressure hose to hold it together.
What’s not to like? The only misgiving is that being manufactured in China and based on past experience with some purchases little can be said on longevity. Hence only four stars.
