[Quick Survey] Got a tire inflator? Tell us what's missing

[sajohnson]

I have a Viair 88p that is excellent with the exception of the pressure gauge accuracy.

We also have the Viair 88P. I can't think of anything I'd change.

The gauge on ours is pretty accurate when the pump is turned off. It's a few psi high when running, but that's a non-issue.

The hose and power cord are long. I can reach all of the tires on our RV with it connected to the coach batteries under the stairs. It tops off the 215/85-16 tires quickly.

The chuck is solid brass and threads onto the valve stems for a secure, leak-free, connection.

The duty cycle is reasonable.

It's a good value for the money.

I have one of the USB-rechargeable tire inflators that is the size of a large maglite. Stores easily in the glovebox. Can inflate two tires easily.
My biggest pet peeve, is that hose is too short. If the tire is rotated such that the valve stem is half-way up or higher on the rim, the hose/inflator doesn't reach the ground and dangles in mid air. I'd prefer a longer hose so the inflator will rest on the ground no matter how large the tire, or where the valve stem is positioned.

I'll pass this along to our team. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I recently bought one of these for the motorcycle, and it's got a lot of pros, just a couple cons so far. Yaber Inflater/Booster

Good: Convenient size - decently fast pump - selectable pressure stop (with custom presets: bike/moto/car/toys) - locking lever clamp (prefer the Speed Clamp style) - plenty of battery life - USB C recharging - big bright screen - built in area light (but points away from the hose/cables)

Bad: Buttons not clear/intuitive - hose must be stored off pump/too short/gets quite hot - hose thread nut use a flimsy rubber over sleeve/slips - accessory case is quite bulky

Haven't had to fill a big truck tire, but worked fine for the old SUV (Explorer) and my Motorcycle. I also have a big Schumacher Pump/Booster with inverter for the truck and camping, but it's unnecessarily bulky, and won't store anywhere practical. Would love something in the middle ground that fits under the seat.

Thanks for the honest feedback! We'll definitely keep these points in mind.
