Review on πŸ”‹ Xiaomi Air Inflator: Handheld Electric Car Tire Pump with LCD Display and LED Light - 150PSI, 2000mAh Battery by Edwin Cen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great concept but terrible in practice

Great concept, battery operated inflator, super portable and digitally adjustable, but performance is shockingly low for bike and car use. The first problem concerns the screw. Plug, plugging and unplugging takes way too long while releasing air: by the time you unscrew or unscrew the plug, you've released a lot of air, making the whole experience useless. The second problem is that due to the strength of the hose itself, it didn't take long before audible air leaks started to appear at the junction between the hose and the hard plastic part of the device. Even when it's fully "plugged in," it lets air through the entire time, which is confirmed by the display. Do yourself a favor and just buy an inflator with a connector design that can be quickly released or pushed to hold so you don't have to go through the above drama.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
