Review on πŸš— UNISYESONE DT01 Digital Tire Inflator: 200 PSI Heavy Duty with Rubber Hose and Quick Connect Coupler by Ross Sugden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor quality but probably good enough

This is my second digital inflator. My current one is much larger than this one, so I definitely appreciate its compactness. However, my current one seems to be made of better materials, including a hex fitting on the female inlet that greatly improves the quick coupler attachment. This one doesn't have such a turnkey place, and the entry thread is poorly finished and littered with paint. I recommend threading the bare male end through the inlet a few times before quickly connecting the teflon tape. It clearly has everything you need to get started (including some things you don't have, like the random valve covers they include for some reason). I don't know why they don't just factory install a quick connect for you. If you want to remove it, you can remove it, but most people want it - why not just ship it preinstalled? The display is bright and clear, better than my current device. The backlight goes out after about 30 seconds and the bare LCD stays on much longer. The manual is pretty useless, obviously machine translated from Chinese. It mentions a backlight timer, but doesn't say the device or display will ever turn off completely automatically. However, I confirmed that this was the case after about a few minutes. The air cartridge seems decent and didn't leak a couple of times when I tried it. However, it is twisting apart, and I'm afraid that over time this will happen unintentionally. Let's hope none of the small components inside the cartridge get lost when that happens. The button on the pump paddle handle is very clunky. There's no grommet between the button and the roughly molded case, so it's very sticky and doesn't feel like it's going to last long. There is a separate button for the drain valve on the side. That being said, it's not a bad deal for the price, but don't expect it to last forever or commercially.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Thin
