Amazon Tire Inflators SCAM Exposed

@@Hyperbole77 Amazon's "weak" 30 day return policy has me shopping elsewhere. If I use my Home Depot Consumer credit card, I get an automatic, no questions asked 1 year return policy. As a general rule, If an item lasts you a year, it is going to keep working beyond that. Even Walmart beats Amazon with a 90 return policy. Another reason I am loyal to Home Depot, I have two of thier Consumer cards, one at $10k credit limit and the older card is $15k.

All these OFF brand inflators too. They seem cheap and wont last. I've bought 4 of the WORX inflators for family. i've had them a couple years now and going strong. I'd be done with all 4 tires in around 10 min normally. When I do them, the tires are usually 3-10 psi low. So 7-9 min for each tire is super slow. It's not as small but still small enough to be very convenient and still around the same price or cheaper. Especially if you already have WORX stuff and don't need the battery. 1 charge on it and I easily do 3 to 4 cars and have lots of battery left.

[@nerys71]

It's not super helpful unless you buy a lot from a particular category but there is the ability to follow reviewers like subscribing to a KZbin channel? If you happen to buy a lot of things from a particular category this can come in handy Many times you can tell immediately whether a review is a scam or whether there was no effort put into it really it's pretty obvious in most cases doesn't necessarily mean the reviewer is lying but it could mean they're just yes Manning whatever it is that's on the page and they're not really putting much effort into it If you have a category you buy a lot from and you find some good reviewers subscribe to them even if it's not a review on a product you're buying the information you read in the reviews can help you identify real from crap Think of it this way if you want curated verified vetted products you go to pep boys or AutoZone or advance Auto you keep your receipt etc Amazon is more like the wild West every time Dick and Harry and snake oil salesman is putting their crap up there and saying it's the best since sliced bread and while you should not have to that's not reality reality is you need educate yourself watch videos like this Those pumps really aren't that bad for example the orange one I have that pump or at least mine looks identical I just used it today to feel free tires from 20 to 40 PSI Is it 10,000 milliamp hours? As mine was advertised? Probably not although three tires it might be but I only paid 20 bucks for it I wasn't expecting Rolex :-) I would have been a little annoyed if I paid 60 bucks I'm surprised most of these pumps should be selling for 20 or 30 bucks on Amazon not 60 and he only posted his 9 days ago so I'm not sure when he bought these However I learned something new I learned that that danvik pump looks really damn nice it's got a nice semi hard shell case it's got an actual percentage display it's got a nice light it's got a reasonable capacity to multi-purpose use it and feel multiple tires and it looks like it has a all metal or at minimum metal casing compressor pump inside which is a really big deal because with the cheap plastic pumps duty cycles and extremely important thing to keep in mind usually 10 or 15 minutes tops and then you have to let it cool down or they will melt the plastic parts in the compressor will give when the plastic gets too hot and softens so that dandic one looks really nice.

I have a 12v Slime compressor with digital display that’s worked perfectly for at least a decade. The chances of your battery being dead at the same time your tire is low is pretty slim.

[@merwindor]

Kind of an expensive gadget to have when you likely have an auxillary power port in your vehicle and the plugin style compressors seem to never fail.

[@SevenSixTwo2012]

Also, lithium batteries drain by themselves and don't work when it's freezing. So, you must always remember to recharge them periodically (every 4 months or so) and also don't expect to rely on them in winter. 12V corded inflators for the win!

[@rnordquest]

@ You can’t charge them when they’re below freezing but they will discharge just fine. I did battery certification for a company that had a battery with an internal self powered heater that would take it from -40 to above freezing. It didn’t take too long either.

[@NotExpatJoe]

@@SevenSixTwo2012 Most lithium-ion batteries have a self-discharge rate of between 0.5-3% per month. After 4 months the most I'd expect would be a loss of between 2-12%.

[@pocketlint82]

I have a big one in my car and a small slime one for the motorcycle. The battery in a 12v corded won't die and can keep going for all 4 tires. That being said, needing to put 19 psi in all 4 tires like this video is a pretty rare occurance too

[@mladend]

4 batteries of 2000 mAh connected in series do not have 8000 mAh capacity. The total capacity is 2000 mAh, but with higher voltage. At 6:20, dual battery combo is called a single battery. The capacity claims are wildly exaggerated, but the video author does not know much about batteries.

[@jimmarburger611]

Exactly, wired in series increases voltage but not total mAh, wired in parallel is the opposite, increases mAh but voltage does not increase.

[@peterkn2]

I think it's because the ratings are usually for the cells. Similar to how power bank mah ratings aren't for what you'll actually get at the usb port. I agree that it's deceptive. We should probably be using watt-hour instead

There is a battery and alternator in the car why bother with a battery operated inflator?

[@aaronboggs5799]

It’s a reasonable question, but the answer is convenience. I have a nice little Viair compressor that is powered by wired leads that directly clamp to the car’s battery posts. It works great, but takes a few minutes to get setup to use, and then a couple more minutes to neatly pack back up. Is it a huge deal? No, but a minor inconvenience. It’s much easier to run one of those battery powered units around instead, and I gotta say, the built in power bank functionality is kinda nice. Totally understand how these things have found a market.

Both the 12V operated pumps and the pedal powered pumps are cheaper and more reliable than the rechargeable ones (also, they don't run out juice in the middle of nowhere!)

Two things: When batteries are wired in series the milliamp hour capacity does not increase but the voltage does IE: You have two 3 volt 2,000 milliamp batteries wired in series would Provide you with 6 volts but the capacity would still only be 2,000 milliamps. Take those same two batteries and wire them in parallel and you would have a 3 Volt output with a capacity of 4,000 milliamps. In other words: You can't just add up the Milliamp capacity if the batteries are wired in series because the milliamp capacity doesn't change at a specific voltage. Point number two: The 18650 batteries which are used in a lot of battery packs will often have fake milliamp hour ratings printed on them so much so that I actually made my own video exposing this scam. If anybody doubts what I'm saying remember one thing: I'm an electrical engineer and you're not : )

If you got power tools just buy an inflator from your power tool brand so you can use their external batteries. You really need four to six amp hour batteries to inflate tires.

[@michaelp.Watermaker]

Indeed. I have a RYOBI inflator that uses the same 18v battery as the rest of my RYOBI tools. It is also portable and works just fine. However, I also carry a 12v plug-in unit in my car as a back-up.

Buying an inflater that runs off an internal battery is just a bad idea. Air compressors that actually work are high very current draw!

You got the capacity wrong, those cells are arranged in series, you don't take 2000mAh and multiply by 3 or 4. .It doesn't work that way. If it's labeled as 18650 11.1v 2000mAh means it has only 2000mAh running at 11.1V, so it's even way lesser than the 20000mAh and or 25000mAh advertised. If it's labeled as 18650 3.7V 2000mAh and there's 3 cells, then you can call it as 6000mAh because they are connected in parallel. but these pumps require high voltage, so they are connected in series, increasing the voltage, not the capacity mAh

[@Luke-san]

I bought one from a Chinese retailer just to pump up my bicycle tyres. Since it is a foldable bike the tyres are 16inch and hold a minimum of air. After putting 2 tyres at 100 PSI the battery level dropped from 3 bars to 2 bars. Not sure if that is a linear meter or not but I wouldn't dare to inflate 2 car tyres with it. The major advantage of it is ... set the correct pressure push the button and wait till the excesive noise is over. Best part was that it was like 20 USD/Euro shipped. I should modify it that it can be used on a 12V car battery in case of an issue but thinking about it, how many amps does it draw and what voltage does the motor run at. If those cells are empty at like 14 minutes of use then it will be best to measure. (and don't forget the starting current). There are some ok priced dc/dc converters that can handle things but if you go this way then you really need to know what you are doing... and maybe there there are better ready to go alternatives around.

Even the big-name ones suck, I would ONLY get one made by a tool company like you did, with a removable battery. I had a Xiaomi, which is a huge company, they make flagship smartphones and smart vacuums and whatnot so you'd like to think a simple inflator would be no problem, but while it worked, it always a one tire, max, deal, the battery simply would not hold more. So filling your winter tires when you went to put them back on always ended up taking half a day. I eventually just bought an el cheapo Ryobi that runs off their 18V system and the thing is a total champ, it can do all four tires and even a mid-sized battery only goes down 1 bar. I never even bother turning my big compressor on anymore.

[@exceleratorjoshua]

My question is why would anyone with common sense believe any of these tiny compressors that are the size of a power bank would work and inflate their tires quickly? These are not for car tires.

I have an inflator that plugs in to the wall AC power, or cig lighter dc power. I use it all the time - probably 10+ years at this point. A battery operated unit would be good for “emergency” use - but if you notice a tire is low while driving, you likely need to find out why before throwing more air in there. Ie - if a tire is leaking, inflating it for 12 minutes won’t help. Also, wondering what vehicle calls for 44 psi on their tires? I run 33-37psi, depending on the vehicle.

Amazing. The Dewalt DC0201 is the one I have and works fantastically. It's obviously a lot larger and requires a Dewalt 20V battery but if you have any other Dewalt 20V tools you already have the battery. If not, not only are you going to pay $99 for the inflator but another $99 for the battery. But that said this one actually works. It's still portable and comes with a concealed cable for the 12V plug that's included. It has an inflation hose for inflatable toys as well. There's a light built in and despite its size and weight, it's still totally portable, just not in your glovebox. Since I have this one I use it on 3 bicycles and two cars and it's a couple months before I need to charge the battery. This one is themes reliable and useful I've ever had and despite it's cost makes the others obsolete in my opinion. But If I wanted one just for an emergency, small, glovebox one, or just for a bicycle, then the Denix seems like the one based on your investigation.

[@alexsanders2829]

I always wondered if these portable tire inflators had enough juice to pump up a tire. This is a good review. It seems like most of them would get you enough air to drive somewhere that has air, like a gas station or a tire shop (if they're open).

[@thom1218]

@2:30 - It's no 8000mah... that pack is likely 4 2000mah cells in series to give the stated 11.1 volts... so the capacity of the entire pack (also as stated) is 2000mah... making the advertisement an order of magnitude off.

Just out of curiosity. Out of all the ones you bought, that had ultra expensive doubles. Did the cheapo versions comes with a card offering a 30 dollar amazon gift card in exchange for a raving 5 star review? There have been two products I have bought on there, that I bought for dirt cheap. One a phone/watch wireless charger, and the other an endoscope for looking down gun barrels. In both cases they had doubles that cost a lot more, and they both came with cards offering gift cards for reviews. In both instances, the gift cards would have paid for the items three times over. I don't recall the difference in the doubled wireless charger, but the other endoscope had a flexible head. Cost fore one endo was 10 bucks, and the other was 159. In my case both products worked well and I have no regrets.

[@Possibilitiesrendless-vq6tz]

Amazon in these situations should be held accountable! It’s your trusted app and you’re allowing it to happen!

[@mrnoname6327]

For the first one, do you think it was a mix-up on cable length vs. hose length? Also, you should have done a realistic psi. Nobody inflates a car tire to 44 psi. Generally you go to 36 psi max for a standard car.

[@garylp3]

I bought a tire inflator/battery jumper combo for $25 on Amazon about a year ago. Works great in inflating all my tires since then and I always check the pressure afterwards with a manual tire pressure gauge. I have not tried the battery jumper yet as my car battery has been fine. Totally worth it for the tire inflating function alone as I have not needed to use a gas station inflator since then.

I purchased the Fanttik X8 Apex tire inflator for $80 from Amazon and I've been very happy with it.

[@ammomeister]

Fantik X8 Apex is legit....used it for my Rivian and eMTB, always have it in my vehicle.

[@Thumper68]

The fact you ever believed Amazon is very troubling.😂

[@N54.sullster]

How it’s a whole billion dollar company 😂

[@InCountry6970]

Lately, Amazon makes it very difficult to reach customer service. As a long time Amazon member, I have seen a sharp decline in their products, reviews and customer service overall.

[@flashman_tv]

Are the batteries arranged in a row, instead of parallel to each other? In this case, you can't even add the mAh capacity, only the voltage. Mean they all have 2000 mAh, no matter how much batteries.

[@jec_ecart]

Thank you for exposing these liars.

[@rossn5186]

Anyone with a little knowledge on the batteries used know that you just need to realize that the extremely high AH ratings advertised cross referenced to the case size of the unit in most cases is a dead giveaway. Its a shame that someone with deep pockets don't sue Amazon + the manufacturer, however Amazon would just say they are just advertising the specs that the manufacturer supplied.

[@georgejetson2637]

Great video, thank you for actually testing every device too, great job all round.

[@afroditavalera]

Dude this is your best video so far!

[@YouFactTech]

Wow, thanks!

[@sebd6651]

@6:29 there is no single 2000mAh cell in here as it clearly says 18650. An 18650 cell measures 18*65mm so this is just 2 cells welded and wrapped together as a single ~7.2VDC 2000 mAh battery. Also, the compressors with 4 cells would not necessarily give you a battery with 8000mAh as it depends on the configuration. Cells placed in series just increase the total voltage (4x3.6V) while maintaining their amperage at 2000mAh, cells placed in a parallel configuration increase their total amperage (capacity) while maintaining the voltage at just 3.6V. A combination of 2 in series and 2 in parallel would both increase voltage and amperage. Depending on the required voltage to run the compressor multiple cells will be placed in series to increase the battery voltage so the battery at 6:44 is not a 3.6V 15000mAh battery but a 10.8V 5000mAh battery. I know this for a fact as there are only 3 cells which doesn't allow for a series & parallel configuration and at 6:56 it shows that the motor powering the compressor runs at 12V (RS540PH-12V)

I bought one like those, around $40, but for use on my bicycle tires. It is compact, fits in my bike bag and does a good job. I have a real air pump/inflator that runs off the 12v plug for my car tires. I wouldn't trust one of those for my car.

[@gregcochennet385]

Great video. That goes to show not to believe any of the reviews you see on Amazon. 95% are probably fake. I guess that’s why I send at least 1/2 the stuff I buy back. It’s like going to the dollar store when you know when you are buying that there’s a good chance it won’t work.

[@40intrepid]

I bought a great Craftsman tire inflator from Lowes for $80. It runs off three different power sources, and Ive used it on my bike and truck.

[@airshredder7314]

They also only have brushed motors, which have a very short life compared to brushless. Amazon should be held accountable.

[@common12]

I bought a $25 no-name inflator on Amazon and it works perfectly

[@csx4402]

I have the air moto and you just explained why I found it at goodwill. It good for bicycle tires and inflating one passenger non lowprofile tire that's completely flat with no leaks on a 15in rim.

[@j.taveras8447]

Wow....Thank you for this info. I have one of these which works ok. Its a Fanttik which I use for my motorcycles and occasionally my car. It works fine because I'm just filling a few psi but wish I saw this review beforehand. You earned my sub.

[@SoundStream101]

Yeah it's like those Chinese flashlights that say 9 million lumens😂😂

[@downtomars6268]

It's the translation. Those who truly understands lumens knows they meant another light unit. Unfortunately buyers who think they know lumens don't know this.

[@orrinkelso9295]

I bought a tire inflator that plugs into the 12v accessory port, so no batteries. Used it on a recent road trip and it worked well.

[@genes.3285]

I just carry a bicycle pump in my car. I bought a new one just recently for $10 at Walmart. The previous one I had for about twenty years. I seldom used it, except for when I was at the house.

[@DanielFSmith]

I've found inflators usually read 1 to 3 psi lower than my (supposedly) calibrated pressure gauge. This certainly cuts off the flow faster!

[@Charlie-nu5oc]

Disappointing that user reviews did not highlight these false claims. Got another inflator and found I could not inflate my bike tyres, which is why I bought it. At least I can use it for my car tyres.

[@hifirulezzz]

3x2,000 mAh is not 6,000 mAh, you have to consider voltage. If batteries connected sequentially to raise the voltage then it is still 2,000 mAh just for a higher voltage.

[@hambone51501]

battery capacity is so misunderstood 15000mah....no 3- 5000mah cells @ 4.2v each is 5000mah at 12.6 volts fully charged... 4 volts is not enough power to do anything with.

[@ArtzFenix]

Best to stick with the tire inflators that plug in to your cigarette lighter. They work well and are cheaper and more convenient than the ones at gas stations.

[@Joelsef]

I’m done buying stuff from Amazon. Now my challenge is to find alternatives that are not worse.

[@James-vp2jn]

Brake line tubing is also falsely advertised as copper nickel when it is not. This is a serious crime.

[@KN-op3et]

This is why I just keep a tire-inflator that uses the 12V socket. No need to worry about batteries.

[@PatrickAbbate]

In June this year I bought a REHOTTOP tire portable inflator in Amazon. I use it for my motorcycle, charged it only once at the beginning. The battery is still charged and it inflates my motorcycle’s tires in a few seconds. I use it often but I never tried it with a car. Definitely amazing for bikers.

[@mushroom330]

My £5 Tesco foot pump is 15 years old.. she's rusty and makes weird creaky noises when used.. but she still works fine :)

[@KrisDJFRAY]

I bought the Astro ai portable inflator for my push bike and it’s still working fine. Not sure the mah of the device but it does the job well.

[@A1doz]

Common tactic with a Seller account, swap out popular postive reviewed product with a new product, moving original product elsewhere and generate more reviews.

[@isaac198428]

Some things are simple common sense. If you buy a tiny compressor, regardless of whatever battery capacity they claim it to have know that it’s a hit and miss. Sometimes size does matter. Stop buying these tiny kits and get a much larger one that stays in your trunk and has a flash light, car battery jump starter and air compressor all in one. These tiny ones supposed to fit in your glove compartment are cute but don’t do much when it comes to an emergency. Don’t follow the Amazon reviews because your tires might be bigger and different from what some of those people have like all terrain beefy 18-22 inch tires vs 14-16’ tires or sporty low profile tires which are much smaller.
