    Nice air pump

    This air pump is pretty good. For car tires, it can top up all 4 your tires in minutes. My tires require 36 psi. I turned on my suv yesterday and the indicator that a tire was low came on. I started with the rear driver side, it needed 3 psi, the front driver’s side was low at 21 psi (discovered it had a little screw in it). Topped up the passenger side 3 psi each. And still had some power left. It’s also a power bank. I must add that I had charged it in May when I bought it, and used it a little, so it was stored in the suv since then, we are now at almost 2 months later.

      We're delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our air pump! It's great to know that it efficiently topped up your car tires and still had power left, even after being stored for some time.

      We're glad it proved useful in unexpected situations like discovering the screw in one of your tires. The fact that it doubles as a power bank is an added bonus.

      Thank you for sharing your detailed and favorable feedback. If you have any more experiences or suggestions to share in the future, please do let us know.

    Best pump out there

    For one, this thing will never tire itself out (quite a pun intended). Its wireless and i just inflated all my tires on my VW ID4 to 38 psi and ive still got 50% battery left. It took my old pump i bought 5 years ago from an Ace hardware store to do this in an hour and would overheat and needed to be connected to my car. This pump is a jack of all trades on all things air related and can even be used to charge your phone. Most people get cheap pumps because pumping your tires is seen as a not so necessary thing but those tend to not last or wear out. This on the other hand will get the job done without fail and with efficiency. Its a solid and sturdy product too

    I have purchased and used a number of "portable" air compressors over my many decades of driving. None of them survive more than one or two uses before being relegated to shelfware status. They have all been too tethered (power), too loud, too bulky, and too slow. THIS one fits comfortably and unobtrusively in the trunk or the side pocket, so it's always available. Catch it on sale and get one for each car. It's fast and powerful enough to fill 6 tires before needing to be charged. Of course, your mileage will vary depending on how low your tires are. I like it a lot. I'm not sure how long it will hold a usable charge between uses, but given the battery technology used, it should be manageable if i charge after each major use. My only wish is that it include a quick connect valve.

    I bought one of these for my husband, who love to bike. He carries it with him in his pickup as well and he says it works great for both. He's complemented it enough that I just bought another one for my son, who has become a fan of bike riding as well. Just short of two pounds, they are hefty little things and my husband opts for a tiny emergency hand pump when he's actually riding, but they are little and they aren't too heavy and they carry well in a backpack or a saddle bag, if you have an e-bike, or under the seat in your car. He uses his before he rides because of the added weight. I love that it is easy to use and easy to read and it's an impressively small brick compared to what we used to have in the garage.

    This is a handy device to keep in the car in case a tire is in need of some air. Most gas stations seem to charge $2 or more to use the air pump and most of the time they don’t work. So you lose money and you still need air. This is also great for bike tires. Charges quickly and so far holds a charge for a decent amount of time.

    This product looked as if it could be a handy device to have in a situation when you needed a tire inflated or just topped off. Wanting to try it out, I had to wait a couple of months for my car tires to get down a couple of pounds. When the opportunity presented itself, I set the little compressor to 30 lbs. Each tire needed about 2 lbs, and in each case the APEX very quickly brought the tire up to 30 and then shut itself off. I had charged the battery when I first got the APEX, and apparently there was no power "seepage" as it sat idle for 2 months. The battery power gauge still showed full power. Another thing to like is the only labor involved is screwing on/off the inflator tube.

    I make frequent trips that are 700 miles each way. I purchased this before my last trip and I am so glad that I did. About halfway on my trip I got the notification that my tires needed attention. When I checked the pressure, each tire needed about 7 psi added due to temperature changes. I was able to get all four tires filled up without any difficulties. 10/10 would buy for a friend.

    This air pump works great for my needs. I am tired of dragging the air hose from the garage to air up trailer tires and dragging it around in the garage for the car tires. It's a little loud but not as loud as the big air compressor and it airs up my 4 trailer tires too 50 lbs. Without draining the battery.

    Picked this up on sale after Christmas. Came in a day and was used that same day. Topped off the suv and the car tires, filled a new bike from Santa for my kid, and still had a ton of battery left. Super convenient.

    Ordered this to replace my huge and heavy Campbell-Hausfeld compressor, which is just too bulky and top-heavy for me to haul out and use it with any convenience. Went to my wife's car to try it out on her chronically underinflated tires. It gave an accurate reading of the current tire pressure and started to fill the tire to the set point. I'm guessing that the unit stopped about a half pound over the target setting, but it did stop after reaching the set point. I even used the built-in light in a dark corner of the garage on a right front tire that was hard to see the valve stem. Read the instructions to learn the different functions before use. I am VERY happy with how well this little package works. And loud? Not compared to my old compressor!

    The unit cost more than some of the others available, but it works. I topped off 4 cars tires in just a few minutes. The unit still shows 50% Charge after that usage. The air hose is a bit hard to connect to the valve stems, but once connected all works fine. The charging cable seems kind of short, but does the job. So far, so good.

    This little air pump has a lot to offer in a little package. I’ve already used to it to inflate a car tire from 0 to proper psi automatically, then also inflate the kids soccer balls. Recommend this for one off items. No need to pull out the big air compressor anymore.

    Fantastic Addition to the Garage

    I bought this to allow me to discontinue using an AC powered full size air compressor to top off my vehicles and accessories tire pressure. I charge it via solar to avoid using house electric. I hope the battery holds up this kind of power and it exhibits this same reliable functionality for years to come. But, so far, I am very impressed! My first use I inflated all tires of 4 vehicles, an ATV and two bicycles on one full charge (for reference, I was bringing the tires up to spec pressure...maybe 5 psi each on avg). I am very impressed with the quality of this tool; It is very user friendly with a large display and easy functionality. I found it to be very quick, quiet and accurate within 1 psi of my manual gauge (of course it makes sound and may be considered loud by some but, compared to old school DC car plug-in compressors or home style AC compressors, this is much quieter). Also, the portability (i.e. no 25' compressor hose to struggle with) and the fact that you can set your desired pressure and do other things knowing it will stop at your set-point are fantastic. The metal threaded coupler for attaching to the tire valve stems is a differentiator for me. It makes for a quick and sure dis/connect. I definitely will take it on road trips for that added security but I think the ability for home use, associated convenience and cost savings potential is understated. An excellent tool!
