12266 High Power Rapid Tyre Inflator | 12V DC Portable Compressor | Preset Auto Stop Function | Digital Gauge | 60Cm Hose | USB Charging Port | Power Socket | Vehicle Use

Reliable device, acceptable speed,goog quality

The quality of the product is indescribable. I really liked. It’s compact. Small size. Fills quickly.

Good product as described . Max 30 psi good for offloading purpose and on a stop watch .5 psi in around 20 seconds. Cord is long enough. Not v noisy also. Over hall good spend

Working perfectly

2and order , the first one works for 5 years so far and still going strong

My tyres are 265 65 R17 on a Mitsubishi Pajero and I typically deflate them to around 15PSI for desert driving. I've tried to use this air compressor twice now and it was able to inflate the tyres back to 30/32PSI but not always in one go. The unit stopped after the second tyre and I had to wait for a few minutes until it resumed inflating. Inflating time from 15PSI to 32PSI takes a few minutes (from 5 to 10mins) so it's not a high-performance compressor. It's compact and it doesn't take much cargo space and the reading on the gauge is actually accurate (I always double-check with a separate pressure gauge) but I would not recommend this compressor for heavy use. Keep the spare fuse close by as the cigarette lighter connector gets really, really hot and I fear this might lead one day to a fuse blowout (the fuse is in the cig connector). Overall, a bit disappointed with this even though it has done its job, albeit slowly... UPDATED May2021 (6months after purchase): this thing died on me. Just stopped working... It's really not worth it as not only is it slow and unreliable (often stops while inflating) but apparently the whole assembly is cheap and the power switch stops working if sand gets in (which it will always do if you live in the Middle-East..)

I was impressed by how quickly it inflates bike tyres. Didn’t try it yet in my car but compared to my old air compressor, this one is at least 2-3 times quicker

Can be used at the time of an emergency. Not ideal for off-roading, when you have to fill up all tires. Heats up after 15 mins of use so I recommend using it for 15 mins then giving it some time to cool off (2 or 3 mins), then continuing.

Il fait parfaitement le travail ! Je suis très content de cet achat très utile Il faut juste prendre le coup de main pour mettre le flexible sur la valve pas du tout évident au début sinon il est très précis mieux qu’en station de service !

المنفاخ ممتاز ومرتب ومكلعم وفيه خاصية تحديد الضغط المطلوب واذا وصلها يوقف تلقائي مثلا 35 لكل إطار و يوقف عندها فورا وانت جالس بالسيارة . اخذته توصية من توصيات الخبير تلجرام

While it may be only the first day of my experience, I felt that I can rate my Michelin Tyre Inflator based on my previous experiences and my first impressions with this unit. I have been driving vehicles for decades and this must be my sixth or seventh electric Inflator. However, I was excited from the word go. I am not going to write here whether you need a tyre inflator or not. It is your choice. But for those who want one, I feel that they will more or less identify themselves with my experiences. I also started with foot pumps and graduated to electrically operated ones. Initially, like most of the people, I picked up the low cost ones which conked off within 30-40 uses or if used for more than 10 minutes at a stretch. Conking off does not mean total shutoff. They just don't inflate beyond 10-15 psi. Most of them move from my cars to kids' cycles. Or lying somewhere in the garage cupboard. I then started buying various makes which are more expensive (Rs.1000-2000 range) from SE Asia or even Germany. However, I suspect all of them anyway made in China and have similar characteristics. Analog needle type gauges which can be +/- 5 psi in terms of accuracy (if you ignore the wrong PSI and Pa scale placement matchings), highly noisy (always the KRRrrrrrrr & KiT Kit Kits together) and jump or walk around during operation. You just have to hold them with hand. The switches or the build quality was nothing to write about. And as the age goes up, ie., within 15-20 uses the time taken for inflating increases. They just struggle beyond 30 psi. And between a small car (say an Alto or an I-10) or a SUV, they show their weakness immediately, in terms of time taken per psi of pumping in the 25-35 psi range. With this background and when my German unit became weak and seized one day, I finally decided that I will pick up the most expensive compact inflator, which happened to be Michelin 12266, among the reputable brands. I noticed that there were no reviews for this on Amazon, in our country, despite a lot of people looking at it and probably leaving it due to high price. But let me confidently tell you. If you are fed up with your various electric inflators, you can as well try this. It is also made in China, but looks like those high quality items (Laptops, cell phones etc) which come from China. Hopefully Michelin brand and QC should count. Despite the fact this is only a one day of experience, I feel reasonably confident that it will work better and longer than my previous ones. Cross my fingers and pray. Anyway, I will tell you the reasons for my optimism. a. The quality of body, switches, cable and hose are superb. The packing is typical Michelin. b. The first surprise is that this is the lowest noise making inflator that I have seen. It is very pleasant. In fact, my neighbor who was cleaning his car, about 5 car bays away, could not hear it till I wanted to showoff my new acquisition. c. My Grand I-10 & I-10 tyres were at 27-28 psi and one of the tyres of my Ford Endeavour was at 22 psi. It took a few seconds for small car tyres and less than 2-3 minutes for the big ones to reach the recommended pressure. Even the hose did not heat up till I went to my sixth or seventh tyre. I kept trying on our neighbours' cars and even after six cars (x4 tyres each) the body did not show any traces of heat. The noise did not change. d. The unit stayed on ground with reasonable stability. At least it did not jump around. e. The accuracy of the digital gauge was unbelievable. I checked thrice at various Psi pressures with my high end sensitive hand guage and if we really want to split hairs, it perhaps would be less than 0.5 at our normal pressures. (Anyway I keep about 0.5 higher for compensating possible loss while removing the pressure hose). f. Auto cut off (it tries 3-4 times at the end for accuracy at the end, due to sensor) is a big relief. Combined with the non-walk character, you can leave it to its work and attend to other jobs on the car. It just switches off at the pre-set pressure that you feed in. It also remembers this for the next time. g. Though the 12V power output socket and the USB charging port were not the main reasons for picking this unit up, they add to the convenience. Mainly if you have a small test lamp / emergency light and have only one 12V socket in your car. Think of a situation that you wanted to fill up air on a dark highway-side as well as use your plug-in lamp, you have the convenience. And of course, you get double the length of electric cable for your plug in lamp to reach more than 8-10 feet away from your electric socket. The socket works just fine. My charge-dead, Thule Clamp lamp worked brightly from the first second of plugging in. May be a protective case to keep it in and a better On/Off feel (the visible difference in height of the button between both the positions is nil, though the guide says otherwise) could have made it more desirable. All in all, I feel that it is money well spent and the unit hopefully will continue to work for longer period than my previous ones. If you are one of those who are sensitive about keeping your tyre inflation pressures maintained correctly always, but somehow keep postponing due to long queues and inconvenience at the pumps or faced a situation when one sudden morning you found one of the tyre's inflation has come down, have a good tyre inflator like this one. And for heaven's sake don't go through the entire cycle of my (or some of my friends out there) experiences to finally pick up a good one. Just invest in this one and you will not regret.

For such a small package this is a remarkable little machine. I use it for maintaining the tyre pressures in my motorbikes and it inflates effortlessly and way quicker than I expected. To add a few extra psi takes just a few seconds and it stops exactly where you programme it. I was a little bit worried about how noisy this was going to be, but again a pleasant surprise. It's actually very quiet! This is a great little unit and I can't speak more highly of it. Forget going to service stations with inaccurate gauges and get yourself one of these instead. You won't regret it. Note: This runs off a cigarette lighter connection, so if you want to use it like I do (at home in the garage) you will need a 240V to DC 12V adaptor. There's tons out there to choose from but I use a RoyPoy converter and they work together like a charm.
