Default Electric tyre inflator recommendations

Evening all, well my 100 year old foot pump gave up the ghost a little while ago so i bought twin chamber effort from GSF, and on its first use after 3 pumps it blasted the hose out the plastic joiner bit so was promptly taken back

Can anyone suggest a reasonable electric jobby please, im getting lazy in my old age lol.

Dont want to spend a huge amount but no idea what they go for.

Cheers

Was going to say that one above, dies the job, I'm on my 3rd one now in about 10 years. But I do use them a lot, and they do end up getting knocked sound in the boot, so my own fault.

I like that you can digitally set the pressure you want, and let it shut off when it reaches it .

All the cheap ones are shite.

I've tried a few, and every single one has been rubbish....well unless you've 10 minutes to wait per wheel.

In saying that, I've found good reports online about some of the Ł50 and upwards units....I just begrudge spending that in case they're shit too and it was arseholes giving the reviews.

This one came up a few times

This seems to have a lot of good reviews too.

Ł30 was the top end of what i wanted to spend really, i actually ordered the 640 as it can do air beds and stuff for the odd time we go camping.
It was Ł28.74 off amazon. I doubt it will see that much use tbh so probably ok for my needs.
But cheers, those others do look a bit more robust.

Used it twice and the pressure gauge stopped working, just read zero so no idea how much air was in the tyres. I got 5 tyres worth of use!

Just packaged up for return, ill try another replacement one and if that is poo aswell ill get a refund!
