AstroAI Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor, 12V DC/120V AC Dual Power

I purchased this device in December of '24. After storing it until it was needed, it didn't work and by the time it failed it was too late to return. After reading the scant directions several times and attempting to decipher what they meant, I finally tried it. While making the proper connections settings, I turned the device on. It worked for several seconds, sounding like the pump was working, then suddenly stopped. The digital display had a ridiculously low psi reading and any attempt at pressing any buttons failed to do anything. I had to disconnect the power to turn it off. Remembering something in the directions about an overheating auto shut down, I waited about a half an hour before repeating the process. No luck. The lighting and display work fine but the control buttons do nothing, the display is still fixed and the pump fails to start. One other suspicious thing is the a fuse included and the only mention of it is in the parts list: inline fuse. There is no mention of fuse replacement or replacement type. Plus careful physical inspection of the device did not reveal any "replace fuse here". Maybe I just received a bad unit, but the shoddy documentation forces me to issue a caution when considering a purchase of this product.UPDATE:This is my revised product and company review. First, AstroAI stands by their product 100%. Without me asking, after reading negative Amazon review (above), they offered to supply a replacement at zero cost to me. The original product was faulty, for unknown reasons but the replacement so far works as advertised. Regardless of what other negative reviews claim, every works as advertised, customer service is outstanding and I would recommend this product

The AstroAI Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor has quickly become one of the most useful tools I own. Whether I'm topping off vehicle tires, inflating bike tires, sports equipment, or other inflatables, this compressor handles every task with ease.What immediately sets this unit apart is the dual-power capability. Having both 12V DC and 110V AC options is incredibly convenient. I can use it in my garage with a standard wall outlet or take it on the road and power it directly from my vehicle. That flexibility makes it perfect for home use, travel, and emergency situations.The dual metal motor design provides impressive performance. It inflates tires quickly and feels much more robust than many smaller portable inflators I've used in the past. The compressor runs smoothly and maintains consistent pressure throughout operation.The digital display is easy to read and provides accurate pressure readings. I especially appreciate the automatic shutoff feature. Simply set the desired PSI, start the inflator, and it automatically stops when the target pressure is reached. This makes inflation simple, accurate, and worry-free.Build quality is excellent. The unit feels sturdy, well-constructed, and designed for long-term use. The included accessories make it versatile enough to handle everything from car tires and motorcycles to bicycles, sports balls, and recreational inflatables.I also appreciate the compact design, which makes it easy to store in the trunk of my vehicle or on a shelf in the garage without taking up much space.For anyone looking for a dependable air compressor that can be used both at home and on the road, this is an outstanding choice.

To start off ima be honest. I purhcased this because it was a cheaper option and was hoping it would atleast struggle to fill my riding mowers tires. What I didnt expect was it to not only fill the tire quickly. It also stopped once it was at the set pressure for the tire. Its easy to use and very fast at what it does!Now I dont have it plugged in constantly so im not sure if it has an internal battery or not. (it did remain on for a few moments after unplugging it.. so maybe?) But the cords its included with are more then long enough to get it where it needs to be in most cases.The power of this compresser will work with most household needs and some emergency needs!- Bike tires- Moped tires- Mower tires- Heck even (barely) car tires. {Note: It will struggle, but its better then driving on the rim...}Havnt has any issues with it leaking air through the tubes or from the attachment eaither. So its decent quality!Overall:- Great quality- Easy to use- Very light and compact.

AstroAI includes a nice thank you card with this inflator and invites customers to leave comments and ideas. The inflator seems to work just fine and I hope for years of good (infrequent) use. There are many things to like about this product and some that I feel could be improved. I purchased this product on my own; this is NOT a sponsored review.The compressor isn't as loud as others I have owned. Noise level is fine. Speed of tire inflation is as I have come to expect from inflators of this type. It seems quite sufficient. The pressure setpoint feature is a must. I wouldn't consider an inflator without this useful feature. I have not yet inflated air mattresses, etc.Liquid crystal display (LCD): Blue backlighting is a very 'popular color' these days but it is not the best for visibility. I suggest that a white backlight would be preferable.The LCD's viewing angle isn't as bad as other inflators that I have owned but could DEFINITELY be better. Looking straight-on at the LCD is the upper-angle limit for visibility (photos). If you look at it from a greater height, the characters just disappear. This isn't great when the inflator's on the floor/ground and you're standing over it. Moving your head around to accommodate this is downright annoying when you're kneeling down and just want to get your darn car tire inflated or get the setpoint adjusted. This is certainly a trait that could (should!) be improved. Curiously, If the inflator tips over, you can see the characters on the LCD just fine from an angle below straight-on. This tells me that the LCD could potentially be installed upside down, the characters inverted, and you'd likely have a better result. I have seen this nuisance on almost every inflator I have owned, the exception being those with real gauges, not low-cost LCDs. Charge me $5 more for a product with a better LCD (even a reverse-contrast LCD), and I'd be happier!Thank you, thank you for including an AC line cord that is generous in length! I use my inflator at home, on AC power the vast majority of the time. This longer cord length (>8 1/2ft) is a thoughtful inclusion that really makes the inflator more pleasant to use.Buttons and switches are good sizes to operate the inflator. The 'power-select' and 'inflation-mode-select' rocker switches are boldly marked to make them easy to read.The four round buttons used for inflation-pressure adjustment, units-of-measure selection, and to operate the included work light are a good size but they are black-on-black so you can't read their functions in low-light conditions, especially with other illumination right next to them ensuring that you can't see the darker areas. I would like to see these marked better (I used a silver sharpie marker) or illuminated, so that they're easier to see.The work light is handy. Thank you for installing it on the same side of the inflator as the inflation hose! This may seem obvious, but it really helps.The tire inflation hose is fine. I really struggled when deciding to purchase this inflator. I prefer a threaded chuck over the lever chuck. Lever chucks wear out faster. Rubber ages, losing flexibility over time. The rubber seal inside tends to shred with use. The plastic lever handle on these are also prone to failure, in my experience. All it takes is cold weather or an errant, accidental step and the lever may break. I realize that this is largely preference, but perhaps you could offer customers the choice when selecting an inflator.The inflator includes several useful accessories (tips for inflatables, a presta valve adapter, etc.). The inflator has place to store just two of them. I would like to see the inflator include the ability to store all of them so that they can be kept together. Having a spare fuse or a soccer-ball tip isn't useful if you can't have it with you.Instructions mention the spare fuse a couple of times but do not mention what it's for or how/where to replace it. I presume that it's for the 12V power connector.

A lifesaver! Works to blow up SUV tires anywhere. Use this already three different times. Plugs in with car cigarette lighter. Cord reaches all tires. May need to plug into a different plug (right vs. left) to reach all tires. Tire was at 20 pounds and pumped up to 45 pounds. Works on wheel barrel tires! Nice to set a number and just wait for it to reach the targeted pressure. Buy one for every member of the family! Have them keep it with their car!

Anazing machine!! The quality is excellent (my 2nd one), easy to use (after reading instructions), power is strong, And easy to store and carry. Checked local car shops, and price point and quality is best by far!!

ACCURATE! I checked it against my manual, U.S. made, 50 pound stick pressure tester which I know is accurate to within 1 pound psi.UNIT IS: A/C and 12V/15W-DC, from vehicle cigaret lighter. Just start car and run while using compressor.It took 2 minutes to inflate 18 inch auto tire from 30 lbs to 35.5 lbs.It stops 0.5 psi above your setting which is just fine.Only thing I found rediculous was the free spare fuse that came with no instructions on fuse installationbut had a warning not to take the unit apart to replace the fuse. No external home for that fuse. No pouch or case came with unit, just the box, which is 6" deep x8.5" high x12inches long. I decided the box was strong enough to sit on the car's rear floor with some other stuff.

UPDATE: November 9, 2025A couple of weeks back, I was contacted directly from AstroAI Customer Service via Amazon Message Center. They wanted to apologize for the failed pump and that customer satisfaction was priority one. They offered to send me a replacement pump at no charge (nor did I need to return the original pump). I received the new pump within 2 days. I can’t thank AstroAI enough. Their customer support was nothing short of excellence. Hopefully the new replacement pump will work out as it is compact and has a lot of great features. On my own accord and for reasons noted above, I have changed my original product rating from 2 to 4 stars.ORIGINAL REVIEWThe tire inflation mode worked well three times, but since then, the pump has gone kaput. I had used the unit on three different occasions and on each occasion to bring a single vehicle's four tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation psi (each tire needed about 3-5 psi). All went well; but now when connected, the pump attempts to inflate just to cut off within seconds. In addition, the pump no longer reads the current inflation level of the tire in psi or otherwise. The external air pump for floats, etc. is still working. A sad situation, as the unit is just over a month old (at the time of this review).

Muy útil para traerla en el vehículo

Desde mi punto de vista por el precio es excelente para inflar llantas, yo siempre inflo mis llantas con este aparato, si se calienta pero te alcanza a inflar unas 2 o 3 dependiendo de que tan desinfladas esten, si estan muy desinfladas quiza tendras que inflar una y esperar a que se enfrie que son uno 15 a 20 min, pero me sorprendio su potencia y su calidad, sin duda la recomiendo, ademas solo pones la presion y automaticamente infla la llanta hasta esa presion y se detiene, la luz de emergencia es buena tambien la de noche, no la he usado para lo demas, la recomiendo mucho.

Schöner kompakter Helfer!Tut was er soll 😉

Kompressor funktioniert einwandfrei,ich hoffe das funktioniert noch lange

This sweet little dual motor unit will pay for itself! Trust me. Easy & fun to use. Set it & forget it! (at your tires recommended P.S.I.). Such a cool little device you'll be looking for excuses to use it! Backlit LCD display/so easy to use/emergency cartop red&white flashing lights/auto shut-off at required pressures/compact via amazing design/etc etc etcEver wonder ... gas stations charge $1-$2 just to pump air in? Air pumps so cumbersome, difficult to use, hard to read, inaccurate, 1930's technology? Why? Because they are rugged & low maintenance, and stations HAVE TO provide them. Besides, the softer your tires are the more gas you have to buy to get to work everyday, so it's WIN-WIN for those (deleted). We already know we are supposed to check our tire's air pressures, but we look at that 'pump monster' with it's giant tentacle and tell ourselves we'll do it later (but rarely do). Or leave it to our mechanics to check at oil change ... but do they actually? Properly? Or warn you when they notice your 1 front tire is slowly leaking more than the others? If he/she is Jerry Seinfeld's mechanic then probably, otherwise ? So not.Good Auto mechanics may be hard to find, but the one single thing we consumers can do every month is to make sure our tires are "ROCK HARD" as to the Manufacturers strictest specifications (depending on vehicle load [how many passengers - trunk or truck bed storage]). Canada's changing seasonal temperatures make a big difference on tire pressure. So does the temperature of your tires when you check them and this amazing pump makes adjusting the tire's pressures up or down a tiny little bit a joy to use.Do yourself a favor & try it right out. If it isn't what you were looking for then simply send it back via Amazon's recent, VERY convenient return methods (Staples/Canada Post/others). Then try another pump from this Amazon retailer. You'll find the one best for your cars/RV/truck/trailers/mountain bike/air mattress/portable bed/kids wadding pool/blowup doll (What?.No. I said that out loud?)Hey, ever get a flat and try desperately to put that cheap spare tire on, that's somewhere in your trunk, only to find it's half flat also ?
