Review on Yome 12V Dual Cylinder Portable Car Air Compressor Pump with Digital Gauge, Auto Pump and Shut Off – Ideal for Vehicle and Bike Tires, Pool Toys, Sports Equipment by Jeff Jordan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money

My car has driven less than 1,500 miles in the last 9 months during the Coronavirus era. While the car is in the garage, the tires slowly but surely deflate - about half a pound per square inch per week. I wanted an air compressor to ensure the air in the tires was to factory specs, especially as this is the only car I currently have winter tires on. I drive a 2006 Lancer Evo so I followed Yome's instructions and plugged it straight into the cigarette lighter. Apparently the Evo has a 'built-in fuse' that blew behind the cigarette lighter/center console which took a while to locate - it wasn't a standard 15amp fuse. So I ended up ordering an air compressor to the battery post/negative to make it work. I really wish this air compressor had an outlet as my car battery is also slowly draining from inactivity. Although I replaced the car's battery less than 6 months ago, I have to run it once a month due to low mileage. All in all, this air compressor gets the job done. Doesn't take long to inflate, although I haven't tried pumping when fully flat.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Faulty
