Full-sized air compressors are overkill for most households, but portable inflators are gaining popularity because they make quick and easy work of filling up everything from bike tires to camping mattresses. And while these good-to-have tools still aren't quite as prevalent as a cordless drill or a ratchet set, thanks to Walmart, they don't cost much to add to your collection.
The Ophanie Cordless Portable Tire Inflator is now on sale for $30, a 63% discount on its normal retail price of $80. This portable inflator has stacked up over 1,400 five-star ratings at Walmart thanks to its stellar performance and ease of use—especially when compared with bulkier air compressors.
This tool is designed to make inflating all kinds of items simple and easy. It has four pressure presets to take the guesswork out of inflating tires, sports balls, and other common items. Just attach the device, select a preset using the menu buttons, and turn it on—it’ll automatically shut off once it reaches the desired air pressure. The rechargeable design makes it super portable—no need to unspool a tangled extension cord—and it also includes a power cord that plugs into a car's 12-volt outlet, so you can get extended run time on the road.
This portable inflator is a bestseller at Walmart, and reviewers have been impressed with its power despite its size. “This is the best purchase I've made in some time,” a shopper said. “I charge it and bring it anywhere I need it.” Another shopper agreed, calling it “an excellent little machine,” adding, “It works hard for a small compressor.”
While reviewers have used the inflator to fill up a wide range of items, many recommended keeping it in the car. One reviewer said it “brings peace of mind” on the road. “It worked great and filled the tire in a relatively short time,” they added. Another reviewer said, “I think all drivers need this.”
“I was able to air up all four tires on a truck, all four tires on a car, and 1.75 tires on a trailer on one charge,” another shopper exclaimed. “You can set the desired inflation level and relax while it fills your tire to the set point and shuts off automatically.”
The Ophanie Cordless Tire Inflator is one of those tools that proves its utility over and over again. Now’s the time to swoop in and grab one: At 63% off, these popular inflators are selling fast, and a deal this good certainly won’t last forever.
