Accurate and fast air compressor for car and bike tyres

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2020

Did all 4 of my car tyres which were down by some pounds in rapid time.
The autoshut-off was reliably kicking in at the correct moment each time.
The 30 minute duty cycle (30 on, then 20 off) seems much more generous than I can ever imagine needing.
A nicely made product, supported by a supplier responsive to a query I had.

The Wolf Cub

Broke on First Use

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2020

What the product does is brilliant. You can set your desired tyre pressure and leave it to do it's thing. However, I only got to use mine once. I successfully inflated 2 tyres and then during inflation of the third tyre it just stopped. At first I thought it was too hot and had cut out. But as soon as I disconnected it from the tyre valve it started up again. I left it to cool. Tried again. Didn't work. I even tried holding my finger over the air outlet and I could stop it with my thumb. Clearly the compressor had blown a gasket.
End result. Very disappointed. Especially since I missed the end of the short returns window by 3 days!

Done in a jiffy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2020

Bought this out of necessity as I had a bit of a flat tyre coming back from Asda last Saturday. It arrived on time and it was soon in action.

I was able to inflate my near flat 10psi front left tyre on my Nissan Note very quickly. I turned on the car engine as instructed plugged the connector into the cigarette lighter, set the correct pressure via the digital display and switches and connected up the unit to the tyre in question.

I turned it on and off it went.

It was all done in 5 mins.

My only foible is the fact it needs the car engine to be running..but this goes for 99% of the alternatives as well.

But overall this is a nice piece of kit which works well, is easy to use and doesn't cost the earth.

Recommended.

Compact and well built

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2020

I bought this to replace my old noisy air compressor. It's a a cool looking compact portable air compressor with high power performance. It could inflate a tyre upto 100 PSI. It claims to offer 10 minutes of continuous usage although I never used for continuous 10 minutes. it has a bright LED light that makes reinflating a tyre easy in the night time or could help to do a repair in darker environment. It is very efficient in emergency situation. The large clearly lit LED display digital pressure gauge enables you to easily calculate required pressure. It also allows you to preset required pressure and then automatically switches off when it reaches the required pressure which takes away the worry of over and underinflating the tyre. It comes with a long power code which easily reaches all the tyres. It has three additional adaptors to use with other inflatebale object.
I am very happy with the product.

Brilliant, love it!

I live in the country, so by the time I get to anywhere I can pump my tyres up, they're really warm. Therefore I was concerned about my tyres - not to mention fed up with having to pay up to £1 even to check the pressure!
Recently I went to the petrol station and tried to pump up the tyres, but on one of the valves the pin is out of kilter and so the machine just let all the air out of that tyre. Gutted. I had to call Himself to come and bring a foot pump so I could get home. Thank God he wasn't at work at the time, or I'd have had to call the AA. Fuming.
After that experience, I bought this little thing so I can keep my tyres at the correct pressure when they're cold, and therefore be assured that I am legal and safe on the road.
It's brilliant! It's super easy to use, even inflated the tyre with the dodgy pin, perfectly. It's a bit noisy but it's quick and reliable and it'll be great to know that it's always with me wherever I'm driving. It's a bit difficult to get everything back in the box but the machine and box are nice and small and stow in the boot easily along with screenwash, antifreeze, etc.
An amusing touch is that they have made the pressure gauge pattern around the outside of the screen look like a tyre print.
Extremely happy with this, wish I'd bought one sooner but I didn't know they existed until I complained to a friend about the petrol station incident. Every driver needs one of these.

Confusing and contradictory instructions

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2021

Verified Purchase

The instructions and information on the two inserted leaflets that came in the box is misleading and contradictory. For example one leaflet states it can be used on bicycles whilst the other states it must NOT be used on road bikes.

One leaflet states the use period is 10 minutes with 15 minutes call down, whilst the other leaflet quotes 20 minutes usage with 30 minute call down.

Again, one leaflet states Do not exceed the stable working pressure of 50psi, whilst the second leaflet states Maximum pressure: 120psi.

This is so confusing and it is not clear what is safe and what isn't and therefore a serious health and safety issue.

Broke within minutes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2021

The product looked ok . The read out was clear and easy to see , the hose was easy to attach to the tyre valve .
However it was painfully slow to inflate in comparison to the previous one I owned . After inflating one tyre a few psi it started to make strange noises . While attempting to do a second tyre it started loosing air at tge base of the hose and actually left my tyre semi deflated, with the need to go up the garage to finish the job.
Maybe it was a one off ? However because of that I can’t recommend it .

Amazing small but powerful wonder tool

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2020

Verified Purchase

Really great tool to always have in the car.
Bought this for inflating car tyres as usually after puncture repair, those tyres tend to lose their quality and tend to deflate at a "not-normal" pace.

Upon switching the car on I've come to realize that you should allow 2-3 mins for the voltage to circulate in the car and then plug the 12v lighter socket (the light button was fine but I had to wait that time for the display to light up).

Apart from that it is precise: when you plug the inflator it reads the current internal pressure of the tyre.

Easy to set: decide different measure units in the smaller bottom right using M button and adding/removing quantity + - buttons.

Practical lighting: red intermittent option or small but powerful white still flash light for darkness (the blue in the photos is the led screen).

The length of the cabling is plenty for all cars (including long luxury and station wagon/estate)

Visual/audio feedback: as the tyre gets inflated you can notice the tyre arch on the edge of the display completing. Once it has reached your set pressure it will automatically stop.
I did check again with a pressure measuring device and it was spot on.

All in all very pleased as it also really fast for the device size and low voltage.

Highly recommended.

P. S. Always check your tyre pressure when they are cold or parked for a while as it will result in the correct pressure level avoiding to over inflate or under inflate them. Follow you car manual for the optimal (usually on the inside your fuel tank flap).

Quiet, powerful and quick.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2020

I bought this to replace the digital RING compressor I've had for years and so far it's performed better than I expected. I've done bicycle (presta valve), motorbike and car tyres with it and from 38 to 110psi .... it's performed flawlessly. It's much quicker and quieter than my old compressor and pretty accurate too.

Pro's .... Quiet, powerful, quick, accurate and plenty enough cable to reach all the tyres around the car. Quick release air fitting connector.

Con's .... No case (attachments and spare fuse are in a plastic bag and could easily get lost). You have to have the engine running to use, the cable and hose are stored inside the body of the compressor... last 2 seem a bit picky as this is the same for most modern compressors.

All in all a great value compressor from a brand name that you’ve probably never heard of before! And yes, it definitely does look like one of the robots from that classic film ... batteries not included!!

Didnt work as described.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2021

Im sorry but I can only share my experience and it wasnt good.
The product was either broken before it was shipped or broke whilst using it for the first time.
I followed the instruction (they were much the same as my previous pump), set the inflation limit and turned it on. The pump wouldnt pump up to the set limit (35psi) and eventually it just kept cutting out after a few seconds of running.
I may have had a bad pump but overall my experience wasnt good, I sent it back for a refund and bought a different pump which works very well.
