About this deal

I have been driving vehicles for decades and this must be my sixth or seventh electric Inflator. However, I was excited from the word go. Adaptors for inflating other low pressure items like sports equipment and small toys are stored in the snap in storage under display unit Consider breaking down and needing to inflate your tyres. We all know that mobile phone batteries have a habit of dying at the worst moments, so this will allow you to give it a boost while you sort the tyres out – better than leaving it in the car to charge while you’re pumping up tyres. We compared the tyre pressure shown on the digital display with our onboard TPMS and they both displayed the same value, so seems accurate. Correct tyre pressures minimise tyre wear, aid fuel consumption, and benefit roadholding and handling.

AUTO SHUTOFF: VacLife car tyre inflator 12v is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system and an auto shutoff function, which can effectively prevent overinflation. Just preset the desired pressure value, and the tyre inflator air compressor will shut off automatically when reaching the preset pressure. No more over-inflating, it's simple and safe. While it may be only the first day of my experience, I felt that I can rate my Michelin Tyre Inflator based on my previous experiences and my first impressions with this unit. I then started buying various makes which are more expensive (Rs.1000-2000 range) from SE Asia or even Germany. However, I suspect all of them anyway made in China and have similar characteristics. Analog needle type gauges which can be +/- 5 psi in terms of accuracy (if you ignore the wrong PSI and Pa scale placement matchings), highly noisy (always the KRRrrrrrrr & KiT Kit Kits together) and jump or walk around during operation. You just have to hold them with hand. The switches or the build quality was nothing to write about. And as the age goes up, ie., within 15-20 uses the time taken for inflating increases. They just struggle beyond 30 psi. And between a small car (say an Alto or an I-10) or a SUV, they show their weakness immediately, in terms of time taken per psi of pumping in the 25-35 psi range. FAST INFLATION】: This electric car compressor uses the original unique turbocharged movement, which is more powerful, less noisy and more stable. It could Inflate the 195/65R15 car tyre from 0 to 35psi in 5min, makes inflating tyres in an emergency faster, easier and more convenient than manual pumps or foot pumps.It comes with a 3000±100mm power cord to connect into the cigarette lighter which fits most small and medium-sized car and SUV. It’s very much a no frills option compared to the 12266 above, but if that’s what you’re after and you like the Michelin brand, this is a compelling choice.All in all, I feel that it is money well spent and the unit hopefully will continue to work for longer period than my previous ones. We tested it on a vehicle with TPMS (Tire-pressure monitoring system) to allow us to gauge its accuracy.

Despite the fact this is only a one day of experience, I feel reasonably confident that it will work better and longer than my previous ones. Cross my fingers and pray. Anyway, I will tell you the reasons for my optimism. f. Auto cut off (it tries 3-4 times at the end for accuracy at the end, due to sensor) is a big relief. Combined with the non-walk character, you can leave it to its work and attend to other jobs on the car. It just switches off at the pre-set pressure that you feed in. It also remembers this for the next time. Bought this to replace my twin barrel Michelin pump that disintegrated in less than a year. Not quite sure the situation where I may need to charge my phone via the USB whilst inflating my tyres....seems an odd feature that will never be used. In addition not sure when I may need to plug in another 12v device when there are often several available in modern cars.USB port on the device which can be used for charging/operating mobile phones, tablets, Mp3 players etc.
