I don’t have this exact one, but I’ve got a couple of the versions Meh has sold (including a Fanttik) and while the first one I got was a dud (and Meh refunded it with no problem), the rest have been excellent. I used two of them as gifts so far. Compared to having to deal with waiting for AAA to show up if a tire has gone flat but would still hold air long enough to get to the tire store, these things are well worth having. That said, this specific model uses the less-useful screw-on connection rather than the fast lever-operated chuck of the prior two, and as such, it’s a minor pain to use by comparison. But it’s still better than not having one.
@ergomeh@werehatrack Not all are of the 90° lever style; those annoy me too. The better ones use push levers which lock on without much effort – and adapters such as these exist for ones that aren’t:
@thechinglish I don’t have this exact one, but one should be able yo switch modes, which in turn changes the preset PSI. For example, the car tire can be at 35, but the ball is at 7.
I don’t have this exact one, but something similar. One feature this doesn’t have is the ability to be powered directly from a 12V power port in case the battery is too low.

@werehatrack I prefer the screw on, something about cranking the handle down against a valve stem bothers me.
@ergomeh With roadies and other narrow-tire bikes, the speed of disconnection for the lever-actuated chuck is pretty much essential.

shame it can’t switch from high to medium to low pressure - would be useful for paddle boards and air mattresses
