The AstroAI L4 is a solid performer, especially for its size. This would be a good choice if you are looking for a battery powered inflator for a car or mid-sized SUV and you are on a budget. While the L4 struggled a bit on my truck tire, it still brought it up to a level where I could get out of the problem and get to a place where I could fully inflate it.Read C
Overall, tire inflators are typically only used in emergencies, and we feel the portability of this device outweighs its quality-of-life drawbacks. If you're short on space, this is the inflator to get.Read
