Thanks Lady

Thanks

[@randybrown8065]

I had the same experience, but mine didn’t have the 12 volt DC option. Battery life too short.

[@therealscoobydoo]

Appreciate the honest review; however, did actually expect that small device to inflate 4 truck tires?

[@carrieblogger]

Based on how it’s marketed… yeah.

[@mimijohnson5657]

I’m so upset I bought. The connector is not putting air in my tire at all

[@lindzsteele5343]

Wish you can explain how to connect nor set up before add air to tires.. I just got it and reading Manuel wasn’t helpful .. could u explain step by step how to connect to get starting for beginners pls

[@robertrockower1079]

Does Inflate=R have an adapter for presta valves (valves used in bicycle with thin tires) or only schrader valves (standard bicycle and car tires).

[@tpstulane]

What’s the battery size?

[@eblind1520]

Self contained. You're charging the built in battery.

[@marvinbc7928]

Can you charge it through your car while airing your tires?

[@mimijohnson5657]

No it has to be charged fully before use

[@GordonAlley]

The car battery cable will power the pump, but not charge its power bank, according to the instructions. You'll have to use a USB cable to charge it up for cordless use. If you have a USB power socket in your vehicle (I have a couple for powering my iPhone while using its GPS on trips), I presume that could charge the pump. Coincidently, I was charging my Inflate-R when I saw this review pop up in KZbin (got it in 2020 but haven't used it much). I see that when it is on my USB charger, it seems to operate as if it is running on battery, but I don't know if you could actually use it while charging--it might depend on how powerful your charger is.

[@MSDOGS1976]

Good honest review. I just bought one of these things before seeing your review. Impulse buy. The first thing I found was the connector to the body was difficult to tighten completely. Therefore I was letting air out of the tire initially. Finally decided to hold the connector while pumping the air then it worked. So that part is a bummer. And as you said....it doesn't hold a charge very well. I just topped off the air on my golf cart tires and I got them all done. Two tires were down 4-5 lbs and the other two down just a little with each. A little charge left.....but just 1 bar. I got this just to have in my suv on trips(emergency use) and to use to top off my bicycle tires. It should suffice for my needs. Chances are if I ever have a partial flat somewhere in my suv this should get me up enough to get to a tire shop. The power cable is just long enough to reach all my tires from my suv if I need its battery power. But it may not be long enough on some trucks as someone else mentioned. On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the best I'll rate it a 3.5. And it's a little overpriced. Edit: After using it a few more times I am beginning to like it more. Getting the hang of it better and not letting air escape. It's actually very good at airing up bike tires. And will be good for topping off my golf cart tires. Will keep in my glove compartment for emergency use on the road. I have an electric air pump in my garage and will use that when there. So....not a ringing endorsement as I think it is still over priced.

[@charleslewis5301]

Thanks that was just the advice I needed as I was just about to purchase this item. Thank you.

[@Alpha0371]

You provided an honest review, and answered the question of how long it would last before giving out. I almost bought this on Facebook.

[@TheThewhatwhatnow]

How long does it take to recharge it to full so you can do a second tire? Thanks.

[@MSDOGS1976]

Not long at all. Maybe 15 minutes.

[@Birdzy100]

Thank you!!

[@avelinomendoza3444]

I just received my 2 units & agree with this review, she's on point. after it died I even used the included 12v plug, worked for like 1 minute & it died. I may keep 1 & return the other. cost vs value i would not purchase again nor recommend. Great tire pressure gage, packaging & concept but sadly not what I expected.

[@parrot0051]

This was the tire connector I was hoping to get instead of the screw on tire connector.

[@juliebuchert858]

I watched the video and you did a great job. I think the pump is really for only 1 tire or bike tires. Trying to do an entire vehicle is a LOT for that little pump and a huge ask. You could potentially leave it plugged in while filling the car tires but the cables are not nearly long enough. On a bike trip it would be perfect.

[@pete7049]

Thanks for the review. Very helpful.

[@carrieblogger]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

[@NyQuiiLx]

I saw this on an IG ad, and it seemed too good to be true. Every other portable tire inflater I’ve looked up are small, but not THAT small. I need to find something more durable, but still compact.

[@starbrand3726]

I was thinking of buying this product, but after hearing about the very limited battery life, I might reconsider. However, if you only have ONE flat tire during an emergency, then perhaps this would work out for you.

[@moeahmad6800]

thank you

[@alecnguyen838]

Man thank you you're literally the only review not by them lmao

[@carrieblogger]

They did pay for this honest review from me and send the product to me free of charge, but the opinions are 100% honest and entirely my own. 👍🏻 I also should mention that they told me there is a new model coming out (or maybe has come out by now?) with an updated power system, so you might want to check that out.

[@mariobantilan7993]

Where I can purchase this item or product

[@carrieblogger]

There’s a link in the description

[@gobear2002]

Is it loud ?

[@carrieblogger]

It’s fairly loud, yes. It sounds like a standard air compressor.

[@jonny_z__370zna5]

So basically don't buy it. You saved me a lot of money.

[@carrieblogger]

The company did tell me that they were/are releasing a newer model with an updated battery, so you might check that out.

[@jonny_z__370zna5]

@@carrieblogger I appreciate the review and the reply.

[@christopherlitcher3344]

Did you bother to charge the unit fully before trying to fill the tires? Or was it used straight out of the box? Thanks.

[@carrieblogger]

It was fully charged. I’ve used it a few more times and what I said in the review is totally accurate.

[@seansitton364]

When I use mine I used it on both of my cars and it work just fine and I still had a bar left on it.

[@carrieblogger]

Perhaps the one that I received from the company was defective, but considering that they approved the review and didn’t question that my results were out of the norm, I don’t assume so.

[@runningmadphoto1947]

@@seansitton364 could it be the difference between car vs truck tires?

[@tonylevine2716]

Excellent review! I will wait on the updated model. It is truly hard to find a working air station at gas stations these days!! I've found 7-11 to be the best. Wawa used to be good too but idiot people started damaging the stations. Smh.

[@VJPHaitiLady]

@carriblogger, I noticed that when you opened your package, the plastic bag contained the hose already connected to the clamp-on adapter as well as including the other adapters for the bicycle, balls, and one for other inflatables. I ordered three air pumps and NONE of them had the clamp-on adapter for the auto tires which was the main reason I made the purchase. I also needed the bicycle adapter for myself and it does NOT fit my bicycle nor is it the right kind of adapter. In one of the three boxes, I was missing ALL of the adapters, and in another box, the instructions manual and the USB charger is missing. I am so very disappointed that this air pump is pretty useless to me. None of the three that I ordered will serve any purpose without the clamp adapter and the other missing parts. I tried both emailing the company and calling without answers from either. After my experience and seeing your honest review, I give this product a triple thumbs down.

[@lindzsteele5343]

I agree with you. I didn’t have the clip on thingy to go with it and the manual intro wasn’t helpful cuz didn’t mention how to connect to start before adding nor turn on and turn off to get starting. 😣 waste of $ for sure.

[@eblind1520]

I asked for my money back since what they showed in their advertising was not how the device actually was. I also wanted the clamp on adaptor. They said no!

[@VJPHaitiLady]

@@eblind1520 I believe you. I never did get any kind of reply from the company. Even my bank tried for a month. Finally got a full refund.

[@keng5923]

I used the inflator 2x's and it died,i cant get it to charge all the light does is blink and nothing happens .none of the functions work .I tried to get a hold of the maker and got no response. I guess they are more interested in selling the product then helping you when there is a problem. I just want a credit to my acct for it.

[@mpsarge2]

Not that great. Slime hasba chesp one but 12v. Better than this unless you do bikes
