I think you misunderstand the purpose of this tire inflator. When you are in the middle of nowhere, you can pump air if you got a flat tire. It saved me a couple time when I have flat tire, I can fill the tire with enough air to get my tire fixed without changing to a spare tire.
He just fills up plastic bags with the free walmart air before he goes on long trips.
Exactly. More for emergencies and convenience. I keep a compressor in every car because you'll be so happy you did if you ever need it. Same story for a spare quart of oil and jumper cables

I bought this for $13.99 a while back. It's not a bad pump. It's kind of big in my opinion, but there's a tradeoff between how quickly it can fill the tire and how big it is. This is designed to fill your tire fast. There's a lot of warnings written that you can't use it for prolonged periods, so I guess they're serious about that. But it took about 10s for it to pump my tire from 27PSI to 32PSI. There's also talk about how the motor will quickly blow out the replaceable fuse if you try to run it without a tire attached. Mine came with a crack on the side, but I didn't care enough to get a replacement. I have no idea what the handlebar is meant for.

Things I like: it's inexpensive and will fill the tire fast. Digital setting to autofill the tire
Things I dislike: lots of warnings about not running for long periods and sounds like it's easy to break (others don't have that issue). Bigger than I'd like. No self storage of the hose or power cable.

Overall, I am keeping mine until I find a better one. I would like something that takes less trunk space and is more reliable. I don't mind waiting longer to fill up a tire since it's only going to be used to top off and not fill a deflated tire.
It is quite normal for typical pumps to have an on / off duty cycle. Pump needs to rest or it can over heat and break. There are high end pumps that have 100% duty cycles but they are costly. These 100% duty cycles are designed for large truck tires or RVs.

If you have a pickup truck, I would recommend something better. This one comes with a 16' hose and a 10' cord. No issue with reach or fuse being blown since it clamps directly to the battery.

PSA: if you have a full size pickup, the plug in power chord will not allow the the unit to reach the rear passenger tire unless you roll the valve stem towards the front of the vehicle
With a full size pickup, don't you have a power outlet in the back seat? Cord should be able to to reach from there

What kind of tire are you talking about? As someone else in this thread said pumping auto tire is super slow compared to his other inflator. Even the cheapest pumps will pump a bike tire up quickly.

Shcrader valve! I'm in. Too bad it's up to 50 psi, so good for trek bikes and not for road bikes.

I hear you. I carry a quart of oil, tire inflator, a jump start battery pack, a pint of transmission fluid, and a pint of power steering fluid in my Tesla S. I haven't used any of it but it is nice to have as a reminder.

Don't forget to include a quart of Tesla OEM blinker fluid. You don't want to run out of that at night. AAA doesn't carry it for Teslas.

Yeah, good point on the blinker fluid. Also, might want to carry around an extra Johnson Rod just in case.

I was tempted to buy this until reading numerous bad reviews. I have been carrying a small air tank for many yrs which requires no power and it's saved me (and others) numerous times through the yrs. Think I'll continue to stick with it until such time as a better portable option comes along.

its junk, but its useful to keep something like this in the trunk because people usually forget to fill the spare.

for normal pump

I don't know where you are getting 50 psi info from. I had no problem pumping my road bike tires to 100 psi. Only issue with using this pump for bike tires is that it needs cigarette socket.

If you are looking for electric pump for bikes. I wouldn't recommend this exact pump. vaclife pump makes sames exact pump that supports both ac and dc power input.
