[@markinstlouis]

I've been looking at various products like this for a bit, but hadn't pulled the trigger yet. Was always a bit skeptical of how well they'd work. Thanks for reviewing this: I just placed an order for one.

[@W9HJBill]

About the only knock on it is that after 2 fills totaling 9.5 minutes, the battery is at 50% even though the manufacturer claims 40 minutes capacity.

[@wingandhog]

I have this device and ironically used it today. I helped my nephew trailer his Harley to a shop this morning. Both his tires were dead flat.

[@bigk7788]

Did you by chance check the tire pressure afterwards with a normal gauge to see if the apex was correct on the psi?

[@cruisemansgarage]

Yes. The rear tire was about 2lbs higher than what was shown on the inflator.

[@billsmith5069]

Thanks for a great review, appreciate your viewpoint!

[@goldwingrocks3859]

Was at Costco the other day and they have the fanttik S100 Apex for $39.99. I remembered watching this video a couple years ago and it triggered my brain that Cruisman reviewed the fanttik compressor so I bought it. Not sure what the difference is between the S100 and the X8 is but they seem pretty much identical. I think I did good at that price.

[@cruisemansgarage]

I saw that on TV

[@robertlorentz3670]

Watched your video 👍 and immediately ordered one. This morning I saw Max's video and that unit looked smaller, it only went to 150psi vs 250psi, but I'm using it for my bike and car only, up to 41psi. I'm still keeping the X8 Apex unit, sometime size matters. Great review.

[@robertlorentz3670]

My bad, cruiseman said 150psi also

[@roadglide]

I purchase the Scosche 700 Battery Charger based on your review. This X8 Apex will also be coming to my front door. Thanks Cruise.

[@texaslonestarrider]

Great Review And Thanks For Sharing My Friend!

[@twrcrew8852]

the heat you're (not) experiencing through the device is due to the dimensions of the plastic around the pump's internals. It's rather deceiving if measuring temps from the outer casing, but by design it is MUCH smarter than a pump that was so compact, it did not have good ventilation for longevity. The case being hollow in nature allowing some airflow is a good thing, but it does not give you a clue into how hot the internals are actually getting - which are on par with all other pumps. That said, I recommend inflating things 5 psi at a time, with 30 second breaks in between to allow the temps to stay below dangerous levels for the internal integrity if you plan to own this for a very long time. Inflating from 0 - capacity should be seen as a CAPABILITY of this pump, but not it's primary use case. It should be used this way in emergencies only, and regularly used for 1-5psi top-offs (which is still very very useful when riding a bike for the first time after sitting for a few days, weeks, months etc). or just for general maintenance top offs. definitely beats lugging around a giant compressor even in a home garage setting.

[@rodzimmerman1979]

I carry a Dynaplug kit with inflator. It is corded but I don't consider that a drawback. I have a 12V plug on the dash of one M/C and the seat comes off of the other with one screw to battery access for 12V power. I have not had to use it yet and have not played with it at all.

[@dennisjoiner3717]

Looks like a real neat tool. The down side I see is having it tucked away in a corner of a saddle bag and forgetting to top off it's charge before that road trip and when I need it, it's too pooped to pump. I can't remember the one I carry, but I'll deal with the cords. Good video as usual!

[@whatsupeh1]

Hi Dennis Joiner. I charge all my rechargeables every couple of months if I’m not using them regularly. That way, I never need to wonder if I’ll have enough juice when I actually need them. There is no 12V outlet on these new GoldWings. One would need to be installed in order to use a corded apparatus. Shame on Honda for not including such a simple item on their premium bike.

[@roadglide]

T-CLOCS! With so many Chargeable’s, it’s just a part of life now. Ride safe and ride often.

[@dh2392]

I use a MotoPressor Mini Pump. I have an SAE harness wired to my battery to use with a Battery Tender, and 12 volt heated clothing, so it's very easy to hook up for me. The only thing I don't like about it is the screw on fitting, It's stiff, and I can't unscrew it quickly, losing several pounds of air in the process. The solution is a open flow clip on air chuck, however you never want to use an open flow air chuck without the hose attached as it will rapidly deflate your tire. For me personally, I've found I throw rechargeable items in the bike, or car, and then just forget to ever recharge them as I'm not using them often.

[@plunder1956]

I have used some of the 12v car tyre inflation units, Many are really loud and slow. I have also used another rechargeable unit with a jump start capacity AND an inflator. This seems like a nice design especially in terms of pack size & it's not too noisy which is a real plus.

[@cruisemansgarage]

I have used this one on several occasions and it has performed well so far.

[@samsacre]

I’ve got it ! Amazing many uses!

[@keniasiqueira44]

Thanks! Very helpful ❤️

[@ddhyper]

Looks great. One concern. .From experience, successfully plugging a tire may sometimes require multiple attempts for the plug to seat. This can use up (limited) batt charge, while a corded (unlimited) inflator can plug into the bike’s power port.

[@1zanglang]

Not all motorcycles have a 12v power outlet fitted.

[@dwaynenixon2271]

I carry a Dynaplug Micro Pro Inflator on my bike. I carry the Stop & Go pocket tire plugger. Luckily have not needed to use either on my 2018 DCT Goldwing Tour. On other bikes I have had I would use the form in a can to get home or to a shop.

[@DyinG_BreeD_MediA]

Thank you for your review.

[@josselemin1]

Just got mine 2 hours ago and after charging it for a hour,it inflated a rear tire from 8 psi to 42 and a front tire from 30 to 40 in 15 minutes. It looks like it takes alot of time to fully charge though.

[@michaelcadiz1004]

watched you video o the tire inflator.. I bought one last week and got it Sat tried it today on both my wife's car and my GW is really does work well and will have a home in my saddle bag. I was wrong didnt get the one you have got a smaller one lol. Still works great and will fit nicely in my bike.

[@cruisemansgarage]

Great to hear!

[@troyheinrich3872]

I just ordered me one thanks very much

[@Pinkielover]

I always read manuals at least five times over pretty easy when you sit on the toilet gives u something to read

[@chadgruver4423]

Wow, impressive! It's worth the price in my opinion.

[@stevenkraus1679]

Nice video. I have the dyna plug air inflator, which I have used to add air to my tires as needed. It plugs right into my battery tender leads and takes up way less space than that unit. Also, have a noco gb40 jump pack, so I already have external battery power if I need it. I could see this being very useful for someone, though.

[@lnk4328]

I just bought a Mophie powerstation with air compressor. Larger than this one but it is a combination battery booster, air compressor and usb outlet. Tested on my front tire. Pressure was 34# per my known accurate gauge. Set Mophie for 36#. After inflation, rechecked with my gauge which showed 44#. Have service request in with Mophie. Other than that it seems like a nice unit.

[@ignitiontherapy]

Great review sir

[@byronlentz4825]

I bought one of these after your review. Absolutely love it. First use was on my ztr mower, it has always been a pain, now easy pesy. Works well on the wing as well. Set the desired pressure and away it goes.

[@paulrose576]

Hi would you be able to plug it into you wing to charge with a adapter in the trunk why you are traveling

[@SecurityBob]

How long to charge on USB 5 V charge from 120 USB CABLE? The lack of a Straight 12 volt option may be problematic . No 12 volt connection might be a suggestion along with a quick connector for valve stems.

[@Vinnie45acp]

Great review and you went over everything thoroughly except maybe how long it takes to charge the unit itself. Other than that great job, and if I’m interested In Something as much to spend this money, I would much rather have the review be longer than shorter and give me as much details as possible to help me make my decisions, again we’ll done 👍🏻

[@selmanyammine8558]

about 2 to 2,5 h to charge

[@lpete531]

Why not? I got two, only used them once for my car, it's great!

[@harrybenson9983]

Aren't the holes on the side of the unit actually the air inlet for the compressor?

[@othoapproto9603]

I've only seen one portable pump incorporate the hose into the case. Also, most of these don't allow powering them from and external source to run, they only run off its battery. You ride a road bike, and us ADV rides need to deflate/inflate many times on a ride.

[@atticstattic]

This appears to have a flow rate of 1.1 CFM, just for comparison - I just bought a Ryseab 12V inflator that's at 1.3 CFM (15 minutes of continuous use before overheating protection turns it off) Someone in the comments mentioned a Dynaplug inflator: the 1st gen version of that was rated at 0.5 cfm - the updated version is at 0.68 cfm (30 minutes of continuous use, no overheating protection)

[@hexxxis1]

Where did you get the stem adaptor! Is that part of your bike or can I purchase something like that? Please let me know. thanks

[@emmettrowe5164]

Question my good friend can a quick connect and disconnect be attached to the hose to connect to the tire valve stem quickly instead of screwing it in can a quick connect be attached to that hose for faster connection to the valve stem and quick release from the valve stem on the tires..??? Also..you didn't tell us how long it takes to charge this unit..???

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

I wired in a fused 20 amp female cig to plug in a pump and supply all my charging needs in my trunk. Cord will reach front. Direct from battery. Always have bike running to supply full voltage and amps to air pump. Also will not drain battery. If you need that pump a few times trying to get to a shop. Good luck.

[@dcdell2008]

I am using a $20 manual bicycle air pump for my Road Glide & GS Adventure...I am quite low tech & I can use the exercise...lol

[@pineapplesmash6678]

When u do have a problem with the unit how do I contact them and is their customer service any good.....do u need to register the product on their website

[@johnmitchell9705]

The problem with the wireless air compressor is will the battery still have a charge after several months of non usage? This is why I use a wired compressor.

[@billkarsell7029]

I'd be interested in a review of the Stop & Go RCP Mini-Air Compressor. It has no battery pack, but connects to the Battery Tender SAE plug that nearly everyone has installed a Gold Wing, so no worries about keeping it charged. It only goes to 50 psi, but it's only $42. Looks like it could do double duty for my Wing and also for my dual sport. A quick internet search shows LOTS of portable tire inflators. I don't suppose you can review them all.

[@jamesspringate8431]

I only need one for emergency side of the road use, so it wouldn't be a huge hardship to plug into a power source on the motorcycle. Y9unwouldn't have to worry about forgetting to charge it either. I already have a couple of cordless inflaters that I use for routine tire maintenance.

[@koilocopiano]

Nice little inflator but $130 is little high. Battery is not at all impressive. Most of us on motorcycle has SAE or 12V cig plug. I personally would go with a good corded pump. Thx for the review. Great job!

[@jimcaulk6225]

Amazon has them for $90 for a limited time.

[@koilocopiano]

@@jimcaulk6225 That's a much more reasonable price.

[@motoGPness]

@@koilocopiano Probably made on the same assembly line in China as the Autojoe one at Walmart for $40.

[@tonysalinas4439]

I scored one for ten bucks at an Amazon returns store there's cheaper ones available now

[@KlaReaz]

can i store it inside the car in a closed compartment ? weather in my city can reach 50C (122F)

[@buithuc2848]

Better than expected

[@VOAN]

I would only get this for my bike or motorcycle but for my car and truck I probably stick with my wired tire inflator. I don't want to rely on battery for the bigger tires cause this could easily failed on those with no warning.

[@barnabasseadog7660]

I got an Airmoto instead. Same features less cost, but mostly because of the name, the unit rides in my Arcimoto.

[@Warpig639]

The problem I have with mine is on my bike The front tire is 22 psi in the rear tire is 25 psi. The pump doesn’t go down that far so you have to manage the air pressure when I inflate the tires. Also, I like to deflate my tires when I’m riding off-road and then re-inflate them when I get back on the highway to go home this machine does not allow you to let air out of your tires. I have seen one in the past where there’s a button on the side that will let the air out of the tires and you can tell what the pressure is at as I let air out. That’s what I am looking for. I have the smaller version of this one.

[@cruisemansgarage]

I have a tire pressure gauge that has the button you are referring to. amzn.to/3PgtRUP

[@josephmirigliano8728]

Awesome 😎

[@markm921]

Nice short little hose, for use in the garage, not so good along side a rode in wet weather.

[@PapaDougsAdventures01]

I think I’d rather have a smaller unit that plugs into my battery tinder port. I would buy a unit if they combined this unit with the jumpstart unit

[@texaslonestarrider]

Does the charge cable work the unit if the battery is dead or low?

[@cruisemansgarage]

I doubt it, but honestly, have not tested that. I am not sure if there is enough voltage coming through a USB to power the compressor. I will ask my contact at Fanttik. What I plan to do is keep the unit plugged into the USB in the left saddlebag, so it will remain charged.

[@SofiaisSunshine]

Took ol uncle ron 2.5 minutes to get it out of the box… yea I would trust him for motorcycle advice… haha

[@hobson1098]

I own one of those.. not used it yet, though.

[@dennispaskel4487]

After the front tire was inflated, read 3/4 left before doing the back tire, showing full charge What's the truth? You said both tires would be inflated from the first charge

[@rlward55]

Impressive.

[@dandahermitseals5582]

I'll check back later to see if you got the box open. Haha😅😅

[@hamzausman8]

I think inflators with replaceable battery would be the best option. Cz batteries die with time

[@allenn3052]

Try the Halo Air Bolt. It has more features.

[@bluegizmo1983]

Serious question: Why would I spent $120 for this Tire Inflator instead of $40 for the Cycplus A8? They both are about the same size, they're both USB-C rechargeable, they both seem to do about the same PSI and flow rate...

[@cruisemansgarage]

All I know is that I have tested a few various models at various price points. I have had some other $100 units with the same or better specs that would air up one tire, then literally burn up and never work again.

[@carltaylor1497]

Except 33% less battery power and less than stellar reviews on Amazon (Always sort reviews by most recent to see how the product is really doing in real time). Not really comparing apples to apples here.

[@kempermorrow4571]

I tried your discount code from your link and it didn’t work. FYI

[@dabike]

Looks great. $100 even after they take $30 off might be a little high. Already have an air compressor for when I'm in my garage. But looking for a portable for bike and cars.

[@jaylmw08]

they came out w/ a less expensive, more compact version (a few less features) for about $20-30 usd less

[@RedRupert64]

It's too heavy and too big to carry permanent on a motorcycle. How much does it weigh?

[@advridertim]

Couple of things that turn me off about this,1) I already have a battery on my bike why would I want to carry more weight, 2) the on/off button will be pushed on when anything presses up to it = dead batt..... It is sometimes several months between uses of my little lite weight pump, I never have to worry about a dead battery in it, or how the heck did this thing work again... One tip, if you carry this glamping thing you might want to source a longer USB charge cable maybe you can run it off your USB port on your bike while airing up a tire....

[@cruisemansgarage]

I plan to keep mine in the left saddlebag connected to the USB so it stays charged.

[@willcal2738]

i gotta listen to this man in 2x speed.

[@brucewatts2022]

Check out Airmoto. I have one and it works great & is less money. Also comes with auxiliary to plug into your cigarette light to charge if needed

[@yveslegrand9826]

Carrying a compressor AND a battery all time, maintaining the batterie charged at top level and all this for probably NEVER using it sounds a non sense. A electric pump may be of some use if you have an adventure bike and frerquently need to adjust the pressure to fit the off road or tarmac riding. If I ever chose to carry a tire kit, a hand pump is all I need...

[@MrNew122]

So, they packed a box inside of a box....and there's a bag inside the box???

[@gerrygraham7]

Sad link only states not Canada. $253 Amazon. 68 db. Should use sound meter

[@Supernaut2000]

OMG that 'block' is huge! No way I will bring that on my Goldwing! Here in Canada, I got an extremely compact 12v tire inflator that fits easily in the bottom of my trunk where the CD player used to be. It uses a ubiquitous cigarette lighter plug and has a gauge on it, although I carry a quality tire pressure gauge also. Cost? $40 CAD. Besides, I never have to worry about charging it.

[@Dg-zj6jo]

the bosch sits in the hand better but this is good sir

[@neelsdeswardt3824]

Very god review

[@ramblinjay3816]

Would be nice if it had an attachment for a tender.

[@moorgoon]

Cruiseman - please tell where I can find your video of flat tire repair - I watched it (a while ago) and I really like how you dealt with using a little drill to create an easier way to put the plug in.

[@fredzuccarelli]

Nice product but.... 2.5 hrs to charge??? Uggh. And when on a trip I think I'd rather spare the weight and carry co2 cartridges. For the garage, id still rather use a plug-in air compressor. Nice review CM!

[@cruisemansgarage]

2.5 hrs from completely dead.

[@motivational7531]

How do you unplug it without losing lots of air?

[@cruisemansgarage]

It has a button release and very little air is lost.

[@Magicinstalls]

😃If you have a USB in your left saddlebag, you can plug it in and recharge it so it will be ready for the next fill...

[@Rambler358]

I had a wireless tire inflator similar to this. I didn't use it for about a year. When I went to charge it up for a trip I was taking, I found the unit was dead and would no longer take a charge. My advice - get a wired air inflator and not have to worry about it.

[@stephanrodriguez6587]

Yeah. This seems like a huge risk. When you need it most you have to have it charged and some people can't even remember to charge their phone lol

[@jesusmartinez-dy1ue]

Unfortunately this device are not duo power only thru battery charge once you run out of juce got a wait 2 hours to recharge the battery and reuse this device tumbs down

[@subbiesalaki]

It's really nice but the price is a little bit too much.. Harbor Freight small air compressor sounds a lot better for $10 and I already have cig lighter on my my rides.

[@gphilipc2031]

I have a Slime portable (12V corded) it gets REAL HOT.

[@cruisemansgarage]

That is what I replaced with this one.

[@jubeanie2730]

Nice review, but why in slow motion? Wasted time = wasted money.

[@frostbitevinnie]

Nice review but way too big for me to carry.

[@SecurityBob]

Just a thought. Regarding TPMS FUNCTION. I’ve seen that releasing the tire pressure on the 2019 GW below a certain PSI Might require a reset of the the sensor. Consequently might need a reprogram. Not to check TPMS light if you deflate tires and reinflate tires. 👍

[@BrokenToeKnee]

I just had new tires put on both the front wheel and rear wheel of my 2018 Goldwing Tour. No TPMS issues at all.

[@SecurityBob]

@@BrokenToeKnee tire changes by a dealer without replacing the TPMS will return to their original settings. If TPMS unit is replaced due to battery failure the dealer will need to reprogram the new unit. Otherwise you will need a programmer which the Cruiseman did a how to video or if you change spare tires and wheels with non OEM codes. I bought a set of extra wheels and tire with different TPMS codes and have a programmer to reset. Do the same when I return to the original set of wheels.

[@BrokenToeKnee]

@@SecurityBob. Just FYI, I didn’t have a dealer swap tires. I took the wheels only with worn tires to a local cycle gear for mounting and balancing. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@6582rg]

Too expensive compared the one Max reviewed at Traxxion Dynamics.

[@SecurityBob]

Might be a different unit compared to Max’s. Did not compare Chris.

[@cruisemansgarage]

Have not seen Max’s

[@SecurityBob]

@@cruisemansgarage he put it out today I think. Commingled with his new bushman homestead project. Lol

[@michaelhoare5291]

I agree with Blamit, the price can't be justified when a 12v corded pump is 20% of the price. Two words of warning, rechargeable products need to be regularly cycled to maintain battery performance, and, I've tried many mini tyre pumps and they haven't lasted. Whatever the branding I've concluded they probably all have the same nasty made in China internal components.

[@roballen6351]

Just being cable free is a huge bonus. Being able to inflate at least three bike tyres is way more than needed, it’s certainly not load, my current plug in portable is a lot louder. Like it very much.

[@mimimmimmimim]

Thanks for the video... Innovative thought indeed. Good product. And darn, it's quick.. Most of all, easier than to uninstall some fairings on the side of the road in order to get to the battery contacts for your electric pump. Though there's one huge problem... Carry that bulk weight all your life trusting it, and luckily never had to use for years. And when it's finally needed, many people will find out that the battery is dead. No problem, one can charge it using the lighter / usb output. Duh! The battery is deaf now (kinda dead) and doesn't keep a proper charge, because it was never used and recharged for all those years. And under extreme conditions like under the sun for hours and out in the cold. Batteries love extremes, right? :) (don't know about you, I try to carry such equipment on board the motorcycle at all times) For me, this is a kind-of-hard-to-depend-on a product. I personally protest every single device that has unremovable batteries. I suggest everyone to stay away if possible. Not only for they're practically disposal devices that causes precious earth resources to be wasted. Because it is risky to depend on such approach. Even if it may sound that using simple AA or AAA batteries with such a device seems unfeasible, you can find and buy several AA batteries any where in the world. Besides, 18650 or 21700 batteries are ultimate killers when compared to energy / mass... Those are easily valid options to nonremovable batteries. Besides, when batteries are removable, one can check, recharge, resupply with ease to make sure they are fully charged thus dependable. A simple non-rechargeable AA battery could be assumed to keep a 2000 mAh for example. Again assuming an average of 1.2 Volts, 1.2V * 2000mAh = 2400 mWh of energy. That device in comparison probably has a 7200 or 7800 mAh 3.7 lithium or polymer battery. It makes 7800 mAh * 3.7 V= 28860 mWh of energy. So, in order to keep up with half of its energy levels (assuming half of capacity of this product, enough for 2-tire inflation purposes), 6 AA batteries would be sufficient. Let's make it 8 to be on the safe side. 8 AA batteries for 2 tires. That's OK for me. More over, had they preferred to use the modern 21700 batteries as flashlight producers choose to, since one 21700 battery has (mostly 5000 mAh) at least 4000 mAh capacity and is 3.7 Volts; only 2 batteries would be able to keep up and rival the "current capacity of the product". Again, remove, replenish, carry 2 more, check monthly, recharge, resupply, etc. On the other hand, if I were to decide, I'd go for a "replacable inner module design", to be able to use AAs and 21700s interchangeably. The consumer could install one, leave the other battery module at home, or carry that as well.. AAs are everywhere to be easily found. Again, this product is a kind of a matter-of-life-and-death type of product. Let's cut to the chase.. In reality, there is no excuse to producing these devices with unremovable batteries. Especially when they're this bulky which means there is space for batteries.It's all a matter of industrial design. Can you imagine defence industry making excuses for producing rechargeable devices using non-removable batteries? They don't... They can't! Had that device been powered with AA batteries, I would definitely buy it. And its never a problem, I already carry some AA batteries alongside with 21700s with me all the time. I would carry 8 more for this device. Since those batteries are on board, they're actually used, replenished / recharged frequently and one wouldn't even have a problem finding a place to buy spares from, when needed. On the other hand, like I said before, non rechargeable batteries seriously degrade over time, especially when not used at all... Anyways.. Thanks again for the review. I kinda liked and disliked this product. I couldn't miss the opportunity to make some propaganda on the matter :D If anyone thinks I'm wrong, I'd be delighted to be corrected. Have a nice one.

-Powerful Peformance: 3*2600mAh large capacity Li-ion battery can support inflating 4 car tires or 13 bicycle tires, or 80 basketballs. Now I wonder. Could it be using 3x 18650 batteries?

[@carltaylor1497]

@@mimimmimmimim Probably. Which means shouldn't be too big a deal to replace them when / if the time comes. @mimimmimmimim - As far as the batteries being dead at the time you need it. That's easy enough to resolve. Simply schedule a battery check every 6 months or so. (Most people can do that on their watch now. Definitely on your phone.) I do that for all my recharchargable devices that I don't often use. Didn't get much past that issue in your post. Waaayyyyy toooo long!

Sponsored video. A lot of these are the same opening, plugging the battery charger.

Speaking of tires and Inflation devices... HAS ANYONE USED Ride-On Tire sealant?

[@workharddieproud]

I have, ONCE !! Never again. Makes a mess on your rims and causes corrosion.

[@backroadswingrider854]

I would not use any sealant in tires due to TPMS.

[@chrisc6874]

saved me 45 mintues from home on my bike. Great stuff! Does not make a mess like someone else mentioned

[@gizzyguzzi]

I use TireJect. It works pretty amazing.

[@gizzyguzzi]

wow. these are priced between 150-200 bucks? I just bought a similar product, the Xiaomi tire inflator for under 50 (direct from china, took too long) The thing is pretty amazing. I topped off a few tires and a space saver spare and a completely flat trailer tire to half flat on one charge. Works for motorcycles. There is a 'hyper tough' version that gets good reviews at walmart for 30 or less. These things are great. But don't spend this kind of money for one.

Airmoto , brand new , does not work.

He's not prepared before making the video. That's not good. Should have read the manual first and tried all the functions.

[@patzke]

You know it would be a lot less distracting if you had a clue about what you’re reviewing before you start talking about it. I usually love your videos but this came across as half-assed. It would not have been so distracting if you had merely glanced at the manual first. Sorry.

I bought 2 in July 2022, they are both permanently dead. They are terrible DON"T BUY!!

[@cruisemansgarage]

Really? Did they replace them?

[@branchesofYAH]

@@cruisemansgarage I will, and thank you.

So we contacted them and they finally replied, they said they would refund us our money. Then when we said maybe the units are bad and maybe they could replace them, they then asked if we were using a USB C and charging them correctly to which we replied of course we are. They then offered a partial refund, but wanted a video of the kind of USB C cord and charger that we were using. Which they deemed was correct, but then offered us $30 per unit. This was over about 10 emails. That's not hyperbole. They say they're out of Texas, but they're absolutely one-hundred-percent Chinese.

[@1zanglang]

Too expensive.
