You never actually realise you needed one of these until you have one and then when you get one, you will never go back to not having one. So many times these have ben ideal especially when away from home to keep in the boot, whether camping, holidays or days out. Also ideal to have at home too to avoid lengthy queues at petrol stations or as I had the once to be hurried along by a rude man when attempting to do my tyres myself for the first time. That situation mad me then nervous to do it again but now, I have the safety of my own home or wherever to do it myself.
This nifty bit of kit let’s you use your own cigarette lighter and obviously battery to pump up your tyres and is very simple to use. Just stay your car, plug into the cigarette lighter, attached the valve device to the tyre, then set your pressure ( as noted in your cars manual), turn on and let it do it’s thing till it auto shuts off.
It comes with different attachments that I didn’t realise that you can use it to blow up other things too. There are a set of instructions but also the sellers page is also a good reference too to. I like the fact that everything stores neatly and tucked away in the back of the device too, o very easy to store in your boot as it’s not roo large.
In a nutshell:
Things I liked:
+ Compact and everything is self-contained, folding up nicely around the back.
+ Handy to be able to set it and forget it when it comes to your desired pressure.
+ Choice of PSI, BAR, KPA and KG/CM2 units.
+ Performance is perfectly acceptable.
Things I didn’t like:
– It’s a little bit of a pain to plug it in to the 12V socket every time you want to use it, but the cable is a decent length.
– Gets a little hot when you’re using it for a while.
– Loud!
Do I recommend it?
Yes. 20 is fine for this.
I had a compressor supplied with one of our cars and have found it invaluable so decided to order this to keep in our other car just in case it’s needed which it was recently. It works really well and connects to the 12v socket in your car. The LED readings are easy to see and you just connect the hose to the tyre valve, set the desired pressure and off it goes, automatically shutting off when it reaches it’s target. The only downside with this inflator is how loud it is but then anyone who has used one of these before from any brand will have noticed it’s normal and that it’s not a flaw.
In summary, it’s good value at 19.99, easy to use, works as it should and is probably one of the better looking ones I’ve come across. Highly recommended
