Review on πŸš— Nulksen Portable Air Compressor - Cordless Tire Inflator with Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, Pressure Gauge, LED Light - Ideal for Car Tires, Bicycles, and Various Inflatables by Joe Fulce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Compact and easy to use; Finnicky Charger

I used to have a 12v charger with cord but it was impractical to inflate both car and bike tires, I had to run the cord around the car (especially as I don't have it ). a charger). the rear port is 12V, but that's Acura's fault). Anyway I switched to this battery and it has made life so much easier. It's so convenient to be cordless, and it's really nice to be able to "set" the pressure you want, just inflate to the right amount, and auto-stop. It works with any pressure from my 12psi football to my 55psi bike tires and 36psi car tires in between. It's compact and easy to use, once you understand how the buttons work it works great. The only downside (besides the noise, which I find unavoidable) is that USB charging is cumbersome. It comes with a charging cable but no wall box so you'll have to use your own. I've used a few different ones; first a small one for a consumer device and then a larger one for a laptop. When I turned the device on, the battery appeared to be charging as the small battery status light was flashing, but it appeared not to be charging at all. It wasn't until I connected it to my computer that a red light came on at the end, indicating it was actually charging. This can cause problems if you think you're loading, which you're not, and end up on the side of the road with a dead gas generator. For this reason I will still carry my 12v inflator as a backup which is not a big deal but if you want to be 100% sure you are fully charged make sure the red light is on during the Charging is on and give it enough time to fully charge as it is a fairly slow charger.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • So-so
