The important consideration about these is that an underinflated tire can fail unexpectedly, and is likely to cost you more than the price of this pump. And even if you don’t personally know how to use it, you are likely to have a neighbor who does. but that resource is only useful if you’ve got the pump.
Also, it has a quick-release fitting which makes it much easier to pump up a bike tire than with the kind of pump that screws on to the valve.
This one seems to have decent reviews. If you haven’t already got this base covered, do you really want to do without, or spend extra time shopping?
I bought what looks like this exact model a while ago on somebody’s deal-of-the-day site and it generally works well. The only warning I have is that it’s LOUD, as in “wear earplugs while you’re using it” loud. Also, the hose tends to unscrew a little from the body while you’re using it. Other than that, I’m happy with it.
@robin731 The hose-unscrewing thing is common on this type of device, although I’ve seen a couple that have a cavity on the side in which the hose curls up for storage, and those use a permanent connection instead of a detachable one.
My main issue with this is that it’s useless if you lose the inflation hose, and the company won’t respond to my emails, and Meh says they don’t have extras :-\
@bofis if the end that connects to the machine is a standard size and fitting, you might be able to use hoses for standard air compressors (which is all a tire inflator is). A Harbor Freight tire inflator attachment for a compressor might fit.
OK, this is great information note to self
‘’ don’t lose the hose”
Thank you for this valuable information
Honestly, this is a really great point when you buy an item that’s not truly mainstream so a serious note. This is actually valuable and it makes perfect sense. Thank you.
I don’t have this inflator. I have a different brand but the other point to make is my wife can’t stand using the compressor and the hoses and all the stuff that goes with it, but she carries one of these in her car and she now inflates her own tires and tracks her own pressure on her car and she really does like it a lot and yes, it is very loud
One thing I would mention is that although you can use the lighter attachment to power the device, it will not charge it. It will only charge the internal battery with the USB connection.
@Pufferfishy Serious answer? It takes about 10 to 15 minutes for an average sized SUV tire. And you’ll use up about 3/4 of the battery doing it. Been there, done that.
I bought this in a previous deal and it works very well. I’ve had inflators that only worked with a wired connection, and they were louder, slower, and didn’t shut off when reaching the intended pressure. Maybe those were junk, but I was super impressed by this thing in contrast, especially working off of battery power.
Can I buy this and leave it in my car? I’m in Socal and it gets warm in the summer. I thought I read somewhere that isn’t a good idea for a device like this, but I can’t find it now.
I bought this the last time it came up, and I need up throwing it away after trying to use it twice. Got too hot and burned myself after one tire. then the hose connection broke off on the unit end.
@craigthom Yeah, it could be, but why are you charging your phone with your tire inflator? You can certainly use the USB A out to your phone’s USB C in. There’s some versitality built in.
I charge my tire Inflator using the USA A out on an UPS overnight. It took awhile from about 1/4 percent full, I’ll admit.

This deal really fills me up.
@yakkoTDI-Yep, me too, but it’s all dry air. I know a Gas that’s also dry air, but it usually smells bad!! 🫣
This deal blows.
Actually I bought one when it was on SideDeal. I’m very pleased with it and the larger battery over my smaller old one.
Double-plus good, would recommend again

TESUO!
@gnafuthemeh Hmm, seems I made a typo and waited too long to fix it. That should have been, “TETSUO!” of course.
Not that good of a deal. I got the exact model from Menards for $25 with a $10 in store rebate, so $15.
@1reeves Is that deal readily available?
@gheldean It is sold out. Menards runs online only deals daily with free shipping to their stores. Some items can be shipped to your home.
@1reeves lol - have you ever seen their shipping charges?
I’m 10 miles from a Menards in Ohio - delivery on a $200 “dorm refrigerator” was $2000.00

I feel pressured…
How many hours to inflate a fully-flat car tire?
@Pufferfishy Serious answer? It takes about 10 to 15 minutes for an average sized SUV tire. And you’ll use up about 3/4 of the battery doing it. Been there, done that.
@danoinct Well that’s actually better than I expected. Thanks.
I have all the inflaters I need but kudos for the mention of RUBBER, which is wonderful.
I bought this in a previous deal and it works very well. I’ve had inflators that only worked with a wired connection, and they were louder, slower, and didn’t shut off when reaching the intended pressure. Maybe those were junk, but I was super impressed by this thing in contrast, especially working off of battery power.
Can I buy this and leave it in my car? I’m in Socal and it gets warm in the summer. I thought I read somewhere that isn’t a good idea for a device like this, but I can’t find it now.
@dpease The heat probably isn’t great for the battery. I keep mine in the garage.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@therealjrn yeah thanks. I got other garage inflation options so I’m gonna pass
@dpease That’s probably for the best, really. My car gets pretty dang hot here in Oklahoma. I have a backpack emergency kit of sorts.
It has a couple of ponchos, a battery jump starter, this tire Inflator, etc.
So the trick is to remember to put it into the car, and take it out once I get home.
I bought this the last time it came up, and I need up throwing it away after trying to use it twice. Got too hot and burned myself after one tire. then the hose connection broke off on the unit end.
I wish it could be charged with USB C instead of that barrel connector. I always lose propriety charging cables.
@craigthom Good news then! The barrel connector is for the cigarette lighter plug.
It actually charges via USB C connection!
@therealjrn It looks like that’s for charging your phone from the device, not for charging the device.
@craigthom I own this, believe it, sir.
@therealjrn nice. I’ll get one.
But that that 20" cable with USB A on one end still looks like it’s for charging phones. A standard USB A 5V charger would take forever to charge it.
@craigthom Yeah, it could be, but why are you charging your phone with your tire inflator? You can certainly use the USB A out to your phone’s USB C in. There’s some versitality built in.
I charge my tire Inflator using the USA A out on an UPS overnight. It took awhile from about 1/4 percent full, I’ll admit.
@therealjrn that’s one of the alleged uses of this thing. There’s a picture of using it to charge a phone.
@craigthom ha, I know, I was just being obtuse…allegedly.
