Review on πŸš— Portable 12V DC Car Air Pump: Generic Air Compressor with LED Display, 150PSI, Ideal for Cars, Bicycles, and Balls by Mike Calderon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A compact pump that gets the job done and is easy to store.

I was specifically looking for a compact pump that can be easily stowed in the car. The problem with many pumps is that they are all big and powerful but come in odd shapes and sizes that are difficult to get rid of. Let's face it, this is a tool you shouldn't use too often (if you do, it might be time to call a mechanic). So my goal was to get a pump that I could keep in one of the little cubbyholes in my car next to the spare tire for emergencies. This is the smallest I could find. Today I inflated four SUV tires from about 15psi each to 30psi. It took about 3-4 minutes per tire, which is to be expected from a small pump, but it did the job. The final pressure measured by my other manometer was almost within the normal range. Since it has an automatic shut-off, you don't have to sit and watch. Just set your target pressure, turn it on and go about your business. The digital display shows the pressure in 0.5 psi increments so you know how long you have to wait. Also comes with a standard set of nozzles for inflating balls, balloons, beach toys etc. Haven't tried it but don't understand why they don't work.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Almost never
