This was purchased to take on a camping trip. AstroAI Tire Inflator takes about 5 minutes to fill my tire from 30 to 34 psi. My 10 gallon air compressor at home does 30 to 34 in about 30 seconds. The 2023 Muse design award was for their other compressor. The cord is shorter than advertised. Luckily my truck has a 12 volt outlet in the back seat, or I would not have been able to fill the rear tires. Overall this is about what I expected for the price.
Overall I'm happy with this air compressor, but there are a couple of things I would improve.
This is the second tire inflator I have purchased. The first was made by VacLife. The pump worked fine but the pressure reading shown in the display was consistently 2 psi less than shown on three different manual gauges. I was able to accommodate this error by simply adding 2 to whatever the VacLife device showed. I contacted VacLife to ask if there was an adjustment I could make so the device would show the correct psi. They quickly responded that I should return the product. I did so, and was about to write a review only to discover that the product has been discontinued. Consequently, I purchased the AstroAI inflator. It has exactly the same problem. Its pressure reading is 2.5 psi below that of manual gauges (including one made by AstroAI). Since, once again, the pump works fine and I can accommodate the discrepancy in psi reading, I will keep the product. It has the advantage of a longer power cord than the VacLife device, and it has a built-in space to store the cables.
This is very easy to use. I'm a senior widow with little experience putting air in my tires. This is easier than going to a gas station. I put my car in my driveway and was able to fill all my tires without any problem. This machine is a little noisy. The whole thing fit right back in the box, or not, and can stay in my trunk for future use. It gives me a sense of security that I can address a low tire pressure warning without depending on anyone else. Works as described and is the price is reasonable.
Picked up a large self-tapping bolt on my Rav4. The tire went flat overnight. I used the AstroAI Tire Inflator Air Compressor 12V DC Portable Air Compressor to pump up the flat with enough pressure to drive about a mile to the tire store. They fixed my tire with a patch (see picture) for a cost of $25. I'm a happy camper. It is a bit difficult to re-pack the wires and air hose on my model, but I think the new ones don't have long wires to the lighter socket. They have a battery to be charged with a short wire to a charger.
So I’m amending a review I did earlier this week. After contacting customer support and explaining what happened with their product. The product I had less than 2 months and it had stopped working properly. Customer support reached out and sent me a brand new unit replacing the damaged product. I have to say the new one works better and faster than the old one. I have a slow leaking front driver’s tire that I’m filling with air once in the morning and then in the evening when I leave work. When I get the replacement product I went home for lunch and got it. When I left work I used it and it took less than 3 minutes to go from 27psi to 35psi on my 370z. Thank you for standing by your product!!
Impressive inflator that works like a charm! Purchased for a new young driver in the house as peace of mind on the road. Was impressed enough to immediately purchase two more for all our vehicles. Plug it in to the vehicle cigarette lighter, set the desired PSI on the display using the + and - buttons, connect the hose to your tyre valve and turn on the power switch. The product inflates the tyre to the set pressure you chose and stops / powers off. I checked the newly inflated tyre pressure with a separate pressure gauge and they both read within 0.5 psi so can attest that it is accurate. The power cord length is more than ample to reach the rear tyres. The power cord and hose store neatly into the back of the product.
I have a 2005 Ford Expedition with a tire size of 305/50/R20. Somewhere along the line, it developed a slow leak. I got tired of going to the gas station twice a month. So, I decided to buy this item. I just used it. It worked! In about 10 - 15 minutes, forgot to time it, the tire pressure went from 15psi to 50psi!
We just received this. It worked fine on the first try. The cords just barely reached to the spare tire in the trunk because we threaded the cord through the folded down seats of the hatchback. Wouldn't reach in a sedan. Cord length was fine for the four main tires. It isn't fast, but it worked fine. We are glad to have a portable unit like this and feel like we got value for the price. We left the light unrated because we have only used in the daylight so far. We suppose it will help at night.
This portable compressor has a nice compact form factor. Everything attached, tucks away nicely on the underside. Found it not to be overly loud, like other compressors tend to be. You can use it in a underground parking lot and not feel like you're causing much of a neighbourly disruption. Really like the accuracy of the PSI. You can set the PSI rating and walk away or wait in the car until it engages the auto shutoff (when the rating is reached). You won't end up with over inflated tires with this. Overall, happy with my purchase and would recommend this for anyone looking for a portable on-the-road compressor solution.
