Introduction
Portable tyre inflators are nothing short of life savers. Not only does it help extend tyre life by maintaining the right air pressure, but it also helps in increasing fuel efficiency. Most of us check our tyre pressures during our fuel runs, but even there, we sometimes have to skip it due to long queues. But with a portable tyre inflator, there is no waiting and one can check and regulate tyres pressure as and when required.
It’s important to choose the right tyre inflator. It should be accurate to fill the right air pressure, quick enough to save time, and compact so that it can be stored easily in the car. And this is where the Qubo Smart Tyre Inflator Pro comes in.
First up is the design. Qubo’s Smart Tyre Inflator Pro looks sleek, and more importantly, its compact dimensions mean it can fit easily in any corner of your car. The top part gets an LCD screen which is clear to read and has all the functional buttons. The bottom part of the inflator has an array of LED lights so that one can use it during the night as well. The bottom also gets two small compartments to store the Presta valve and swimming ring nozzle. Included in the package are the main device, the power cable and the car adapter, ball needle, bicycle nozzle and a convenient carry pouch.
Using the inflator is just as simple as any other tyre inflator. The power cable needs to be connected to the 12V socket in the car, and then one can go around checking the air pressure in each of the tyres. The cable is long enough to reach all four tyres comfortably and does not get stretched at any point. We tried the inflator on one of our cars, and the Smart Tyre Inflator Pro managed to go from 0 to 30 PSI in about five minutes, which is pretty quick. One of the reasons that the Tyre Inflator works so quickly is its die-cast cylinder block made from alloy materials and the powerful motor.
Overall, the Smart Tyre Inflator Pro works great and comes across as a handy piece of kit for daily use or when heading for trips. The Qubo Smart Tyre Pro is priced at Rs 2990 and can be purchased here.
