About this product
Flat tyre before the school run or need to top up before a long drive? This Michelin inflator plugs into your 12V car socket and sorts it without fuss. Set your target pressure on the touch-sensitive screen; it stops automatically when it hits the mark. The quick-release connector clips onto the valve fast, with a deflation option for overinflation. Works on car tyres, bikes, airbeds and paddling pools with included adaptors. The screen switches between PSI, BAR and kPa so you always work in familiar units. Built-in work light helps when dealing with a soft tyre in the dark.
Programmable gauge remembers your usual settings for next time. The cable gives you decent reach around most vehicles. Adaptors in the box fit different valve types on bikes, air mattresses and inflatable toys. No wrestling with screw-on fittings thanks to the quick connector design.

Quick and accurate
This is much better than my last 12V tyre inflator. Having read the positive reviews, I decided to pay a premium price for a known branded product and the operation of the inflator is as described.

Ease of use
I've only used it twice and found it easy to use, Very happy with this purchase

Easy to use
I brought the tyre inflator as my son had our original one in his garage and I like to keep one at home, used it to inflate a friend’s tyre from flat, it was quicker & quieter than other one, would definitely recommend it

Important restrictiom
This device carries a warning that it has a power rating of 180W and should not be used with cars that have power outlets protected by fuses 10A or less which includes my car - so I had to return it. Would be useful if that warning was included in the pre-purchase literature.

Excellent!
From flat to fully inflated tyre in no time at all! Superb piece of kit!
Lulubelle, 65 or over, Hampshire
Yet to use it
I will take it out of the box and use it when my tyres need inflating! My 5 Star ratings are based on my expectations

Good but missing competition features
Bought thus with decent discount so any criticism would be valid if I'd paid full price. Pro's : Seems accurate, quick to inflate, easy to read, power cable is reasonable length. Cons : No inbuilt power cable reel like the equally good RTC1000. Push fit connector fiddly a first use - what should be simple had me wishing for sfrew fit. No case to store unit (and it's power lead and accessories) Overall it is good purchase but see why it came second in mag review I read. I bought the winner for a relative that has allowed tcomments in thus review. Get thus under £50 and cons could be forgiven (eg keep Box for storag)
