Review on πŸ’¨ NuMax SH16VIPK Cordless 16-Volt Power Inflator and Air Pump Kit with Case: Efficient and Portable Solution for Inflation Needs by Randy Bin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Inaccurate PSI reading, slow

In theory, this set of two battery operated inflators, a car tire inflator and a low pressure air pump for things like basketballs and bike tires would be nice to have around the house; in practice, however, this is not the case. I got it to inflate car tires when needed with the idea that a smaller air pump could be used occasionally, but it doesn't work in this one. First, my PSI readings were 10 PSI too low compared to the gauge, meaning tires reading 30 PSI read as 20 PSI on the inflator. This can usually lead to terrible excessive inflation; However, since it takes ages for the inflator to increase even one psi in this case, that's just embarrassingly wrong, especially for a digital measurement. I like that this set is wireless. It comes with a rechargeable lithium battery and charger along with several adapters. The hose is screwed into the fuel nozzle and then adapters such as the inflator pin are screwed in. There are three plastic cones which I don't understand the purpose of. The instructions are minor, not stating any of the parts or their purpose. The set is packed in a robust plastic case. I was hoping to keep it in the trunk of my car for emergencies, but obviously that would be useless. Debbie Lee Wesselman
