Score is calculated from the manufacturer's published specifications. BaniCar has not handled this unit. Specs and availability change — verify on the listing.
Safety note: Never exceed the tire pressure printed on your door-jamb placard. Inflator PSI claims are the manufacturer's; verify with a separate gauge.
Verdict
A cheap, plug-in trunk tool that will top off car tires. If you want to know how fast it pumps before you buy, AstroAI does not say; spend more for a published spec sheet.

Frequently asked questions
Does the engine need to be running?
Yes. Run the engine while inflating so the 12 V socket delivers full power and you do not drain the battery.
Will it inflate truck tires?
AstroAI does not rate this model for heavy-duty truck tires. For 33-inch and larger tires AstroAI sells dual-cylinder units.
How do I get the extra warranty year?
Register the product on astroai.com with your order number; AstroAI says this extends the included 1-year warranty by an additional year.
