I really doubt this unit would inflate a car tyre
it says,
Inflates standard car tyre in approx. 6 minutes
which is BS unless you are talking space saver
(I've had one of these - the rubber house rubs on the plastic housing and soon causes a hole)
It'll take a while and just be aware of the duty cycle.
Doesn't look suitable to 4WD tyres. Maybe good for shopping trolleys.
I have small electric pump in my boot, they work well and are cheap.
Instead of replacing the tyre if you have a flat, just pump it up and drive to the tyre place.
And yeah, they take about 6 minutes.
You should have a puncture repair kit so you can fix it and get back on road.
Uh…So many clips on youtube, and you can't even take a look at the link OP included.
Nothing in Hoppers Crossing, Vic
haha I took the last one I think…ordered with postage tho
Great success Lol
Just to be clear this is the slime brand pump.
It does not have the slime repair canister.
Without a repair kit those is pretty useless. Portable 12v pumps are slow and very noisy. Better off driving to a petrol station to fill up your tyres if you can
No, you absolutely are not better off driving to a petrol station. That's how you completely ruin the rim and put yourself out even more money.
No not on empty tyres.
I mean don't buy this if you just want to do normal top ups.
If you want to do emergency repairs and a top up then this is ok, but I wouldn't use it for regular maintenance because it's slow and noisy
Oh I assumed everyone used this only for roadside repairs. Can't imagine anyone wasting their time using their 12V socket on regular top ups.
With a flat dont drive on it unless you have run flat tyres. had a 2 month old SUV and when over a nail, drived with the flat tyre for a short distance..
Tyre fitter pointed out damage to sidewall, you could clearly see the damage as side wall of tyre not deaigned for high loads so $300 new tyre instead on $30 repair..
Rim was ok.

Pity no one told me. I've been using the same portable 12V pump to regularly inflate 4x 4wd tyres from 22 to 45psi for the last ten years.
It's obviously not a $19 pump but there's nothing wrong with 12V pumps.
Is it a Sparrow?
i bought this from supercheap auto a few years ago since one of my tyres had a slow leak.
it works well enough for top-ups when you can't make it to the servo (or, more likely, the servo has had to remove their air hose because of vandals). but be warned, it is loud, vibrates a lot (lol) and takes a long time filling up each psi. then it gets hot quickly, so you have to stop and give it a rest before resuming inflation.
the ciggy charger cord is only just long enough if you have a small to medium sized car.
i had mine for maybe a year before the tyre valve attachment started separating from the rest of the hose. really bloody annoying considering it already takes so long to inflate.
i bought an even smaller michelin unit (also from SCA for about $65) and this one is better quality.
still takes some time to inflate (a little bit faster perhaps) and the cord is much too short but it doesn't get as hot.
with the michelin unit, i was able to inflate a completely flat tyre up to about 20psi to perform a plug repair on a puncture, then drove a short distance to the servo to inflate the rest of the way.
tl;dr these things are just good for emergencies and small cars
