Avid Power Tire Inflator Review

It’s not until you need one that you realize how indispensable a good cordless pump can be. And for the record, I’m not just talking about inflating tires when things go wrong on the road. I’ve owned an Avid Power Cordless Tire Inflator for quite some time now, and I honestly cannot believe how often I find something useful to do with it.

Once again, I’m happy to admit that not everyone gets quite as excited as I do about power tools and devices like these. Nevertheless, I genuinely think that this is something in every home (or car) should have at its disposal.

Compact in size, surprisingly powerful, and fitted with a long-lasting battery – all the kinds of things you’d expect from a top-shelf pump. Only in this instance, it’s up for grabs at a bargain-basement price. All backed with a reassuring a two-year warranty from the manufacturer.

It’s not often I say this, but I really struggled to find anything particularly negative to say about this Avid Power Tire Inflator. It’s my job to pick fault, but I sometimes find myself nit-picking for no good reason. As for whether or not I identified any issues along the way, you’ll have to keep reading this avid power tire inflator review to find out!

Features of Avid Power Tire Inflator

As mentioned above, this is a surprisingly lightweight device, when you consider how powerful and versatile it is. According to this manufacture, the official size, and weight specifications of the pump are as follows:

• Item Weight – 3.97 pounds
• Package Dimensions – 14.2 x 11.5 x 4.2 inches

The kit itself comes complete with a whole bunch of accessories, taking the versatility of the device to the next level. Along with this Cordless Inflator itself, you also get the following for the same low price:

• 1x 12V car power adapter
• 1x charger
• 1x air tap
• 1x inflating needle
• 1x tool bag
• 1x user manual

Paying this kind of money for a cordless inflator, you’d expect at least some compromise in key areas. Nevertheless, the manufacture of this air compressor lists the following features and selling points in its official sales blurb:

Pre-setting & Automatic Stop Function

This feature effectively makes it impossible to over inflate whatever it is you’re inflating at the time. The pump automatically turns off when the required pressure has been achieved.

Fast Charging and Long Battery Life

The battery can be charged in a standard mains outlet or by connecting it to the 12v socket in your car. The high-end Lithium-ion battery pack has also been designed to minimize charging times and maximize performance.

Multipurpose Versatility

Far from being restricted to tires alone, the Avid Power 20V Cordless Tire Inflator is capable of quickly, efficiently and safely inflating everything – from sports balls to pool toys to pretty much anything else you can think of.

Lightweight and Convenient to Carry

Every aspect of the Avid Power Cordless Tire Inflator has been designed with portability in mind, making it perfect for tossing into the trunk of the car or carry around in its bag (included in the kit as standard).

Two-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty

For total peace of mind, every compressor comes complete with an extended warranty from the manufacturer. Should anything go wrong within the first two years, all repairs (or replacements where necessary) will be covered free of charge.

My Experience with the Avid Power Tire Inflator

I picked up my Avid Power Portable Tire Inflator a while back, as I got fed up with heading to service stations every time I needed to adjust my car’s tire pressures.

But it wasn’t until I took it home that I realized just how much use I was going to get out of it. It inflates basketballs, pool toys, bicycle tires, and pretty much anything that need inflations. On the one hand, it’s more than powerful enough to inflate the tires on your car quickly and effectively.

On the other, it’s also safe and simple enough to use with inflatable toys, bicycles, and so on. I was immediately impressed by its flexibility and versatility, which I genuinely hadn’t expected for this type of price. The unit itself is relatively compact and not particularly heavy.

It’s a little on the noisy side when in use, but that’s pretty much the norm for devices like these. Charging times are as you’d expect them to be, and the way this thing holds onto a charge is great. Even if you don’t plan on using it for several weeks or months, you’ll encounter no issues when you finally power it up. Easy to use, surprisingly powerful, compact, versatile, and up for grabs at an affordable price – what more could you ask for?

Pros

• Compact and lightweight
• Quality materials and high manufacturing standards
• Exceptionally versatile and easy to use
• Surprisingly powerful for this kind of price
• Automatic shut-off when desired pressure is reached
• Unbeatable value for money

Cons

• A little on the noisy side (but not excessively)

Final Thoughts

In answer to the question back of the start, the answer is yes – I did find one slight fault with the Avid Power Tire Inflator Air Compressor. That being, the fact that I would like it to be slightly quieter when in operation.

Nevertheless, this is far from the kind of issue that takes anything away from what is otherwise an outstanding device at a bargain price. Trust me – you’ll never run out of good uses for a piece of kit like this!
