Product Information

FAST INFLATION】: Our air compressor uses the original unique turbocharged movement, which is more powerful, less noisy and more stable. Inflating the 195/65R15 car tire from 0 to 35psi in 5 min.It's handy in the car in case of low tire pressure on the road. It's also perfect to take camping to inflate an air mattress, float or toys for the kids.

Each of the inflators tested here has a gauge that gives you an instant readout that lets you know whether the tyre needs pumping. To use them, simply remove the dust cap from the valve on the tyre and push the end of the air hose over it, before pressing or releasing any catch to clamp it in place. Petrol station tyre inflators have pressure gauges, too, but these aren’t always accurate so it’s best to test using your own equipment.If you want to be equipped for every flat tyre eventuality, the VonHaus Cordless Tyre Inflator has you covered. It will run for up to ten minutes from the supplied 1.5A lithium-ion battery, but if you forget to charge it you can always switch to the bundled 12V adaptor, which comes with an unusually generous 3.5m cable. It has a small, but still readable, digital pressure meter. And you can just set your desired pressure, pull the trigger and let it go to work: it will stop when it reaches the right level.

Mid-range units are more suited for home workshops and tend to come with 20 to 30-litre tanks with an airflow capacity of between 100 to 200 litres per minute . These will weigh around 20 kilos. To fill up your tank and build enough air pressure for working, you need a decent size electric motor. Essentially, the bigger the motor is, the less time you have to listen to it refilling the tank, and the less energy it will have to use to get there. Air Compressor Noise Levels Probably my favourite thing about this air compressor is the weight. It weighs less than 30 kg and comes with a pair of large wheels and a handle for moving it around to where you need it. That’s an impressive power-to-weight ratio.

The best tyre inflators you can buy in 2023

Probably more famous internationally for their cars, Hyundai are one of South Korea’s biggest engineering firms. They also happen to make probably the best air compressor that I’ve had a chance to try out. Having compressed air on tap is remarkably useful. You can use it to power a huge range of air tools and do away with expensive batteries, reinflate car tyres without having to go to the petrol station and blow the dust out from the tightest spots with ease. Air Compressor Tank Size Because it means the motor is more powerful than those only able to get to 100 psi & thus doesn't get so hot. Despite its smaller size, the Ring performed well, inflating the tyre faster than some of the larger models in this test. The Ring also retains a leisure inflator/deflator and is fitted with a Deflate button. We were also a fan of the foolproof knob and display set-up, and the smart carrying bag. Larger air compressors will typically have a 50 litre tank and powerful motors (1-2kW), but they will weigh 30 kg or more.

With a 2.5 horsepower or 1.5 kW motor under the bonnet, this is a reliable and powerful air compressor. I’m impressed by the 50-litre air tank because it means you’re going to spend less time running the motor and more time blasting air. The HY3050V portable air compressor makes use of a powerful 2.2 kW 3 hp motor to fill the large 50-litre tank up to 8 bar. And because it’s got a direct drive pump, you can expect it to be a reliable air compressor that will last for years. Putting out 14 cubic feet per minute (cfm), it’s more than powerful enough for any home DIY task. This futuristic-looking digital compressor is a lot more than a basic foot pump for your car or bike tyres. All you need to do is set the required pressure using the little buttons under the display, connect the hose to your target valve, and press the power button. The compressor will do the rest and shut off automatically when it reaches the right pressure. One of the biggest names in DIY, Stanley have been making reliable kit for more than 170 years, a pedigree that’s hard to match by any rivals.Air compressors with just 6 to 8-litre tanks are also very popular, particularly with hobbyists as they are powerful yet versatile and weigh less than 10kg. Size is probably the most important thing. The smallest inflators are around 20 x 20cm, so you can leave them in your car without losing too much luggage space. The best don’t skimp on the length of the power lead and air hose, which makes it easier to reach all four valves. Most can be preset to stop inflating when your tyre reaches the correct pressure. The pressure is usually shown in two formats: bar and psi. There are typically two sets of these. The lowest is for normal use, but you may well see another set of higher pressures for when the car is heavily loaded, increasing the weight that’s pushing down on the tyres.
