MICHELIN 9519 Preset Digital Car Tyre Inflator

Fantastic replacement for a poor performing and terribly inaccurate Ring inflator.It’s much smaller than I was expecting, about the same size as the what it was replacing but doesn’t look it in the pictures.Very easy to use, don’t really need the instructions.Annoying that it doesn’t display the current pressure reading as it inflates, apparently due to “regulations”. WHAT?Have tested with two ANSI certified pressure gauges and this reads about +1 PSI (in other words under inflated by ~ 1 PSI). That’s not a problem now I know, the key thing is that it inflates consistently, I can just set it to inflate one higher than required. Accounting for removing the nozzle and letting a little air out when using the tyre gauge, perhaps it’s closer to the manufacturer claimed accuracy of plus/minus 0.05 Bar (~ 0.7 PSI).

This is a proper little gem. It is so quick. It does have a very short lead but I find that it’s no problem whatsoever. It is powerful and small and blows up your tyres. Perfectly.

Very accurate tested with known gaugeBit of a fiddle to tidy the cable back in to housingPlastic casing is hard plastic so feels a bit on the cheap side, not premium as I’d expect from Michelin

Very good

Practical, easy to use and works well.

Never used or know about the built in light. Very easy to use, screw into the valve press the button and wait. The only slight annoyance is when inflating the display turns off, so you have to stop inflation to check, deflation is fine thd display stays on.

It said "condition - used, like new".This was bought as a gift and only opened yesterday. Product was filthy, the cable to the 12v adapter was twisted and knotted beyond belief. First and only attempt at inflating a tyre caused the tyre to deflate faster than the product could inflate it! Gave up when it went down to 10psi.The reading from the pressure display was wildly inaccurate. at 30psi it read 20psi, then jumped to 25psi, then 30psi then back to 20psi without me doing anything.Fortunately I had another compressor and separate tyre pressure gauge so I could see that the problem was with the product. If you were relying on this to be accurate it would be a huge concern.

I bought this to replace my double barrel pump and it is very convenient to have in your car or garage especially if your car does not have a spare tyre or spacesaver tyre.The inflator is way quieter than ones I have owned in the past and it can easily be preset to the pressures you want for your tyres. It is also smaller than what you might expect.The inflator can easily be switched between three different units of pressure and you can get the correct pressures from the Michelin website which is very handy if you have staggered alloys or different alloys.The only thing I would worry about is the flimsy plastic build which makes one wonder how long it will actually last. The price is also high but it does save your legs from doing any work too.
