@@Hyperbole77 Amazon's "weak" 30 day return policy has me shopping elsewhere. If I use my Home Depot Consumer credit card, I get an automatic, no questions asked 1 year return policy. As a general rule, If an item lasts you a year, it is going to keep working beyond that. Even Walmart beats Amazon with a 90 return policy.

All these OFF brand inflators too. They seem cheap and wont last. I've bought 4 of the WORX inflators for family. i've had them a couple years now and going strong. I'd be done with all 4 tires in around 10 min normally. When I do them, the tires are usually 3-10 psi low. So 7-9 min for each tire is super slow. It's not as small but still small enough to be very convenient and still around the same price or cheaper. Especially if you already have WORX stuff and don't need the battery. 1 charge on it and I easily do 3 to 4 cars and have lots of battery left.
Amazon bans people who do true negative reviews but of course allows all postive reviews. I know because thats what they did to me. There are a lot of bad products especially with batteries and memory (sd and usb key) being sold. Too bad.
All of my negative reviews are on Amazon. All of them. I review a lot of tech stuff because I buy a lot of it and the only time I ever had issues with a review being removed was when I called a product shit. Literally the word shit was what they complained about.
I dont review . Nor i go by the review anymore. If i do, the product has to be that good minimum 4.5 star from my perspective after receiving , if not, i would simply throw back on their face !
as a former Amazon Associates Support agent, I can tell you, being an Amazon Associate and being able to get these affiliate links, are not the same as a sponsorship. Yes, it's an advertisement and he's trying to get you to buy the product using his link so he earns a small commission off every sale, but that's different from a sponsorship in that Denvix themselves are not asking him to promote the product or telling him what to say. like you would get with say, people getting sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends or whatever to put an ad in their video.
6:37 Yeah and the product is fake, there is no such thing as a 5000 mAh 18650 lithium cell, the highest capacity 18650 lithium-ion cell is 3700 mAh, and the norm is around 3000 mAh.
Amazon does not care who gets screwed. I have tried to report companies trying to bribe me into changing my rating, giving me an Amazon gift card. I have a feeling there are a lot of gift card collectors out there.
…probably because you don’t recognize this channel for what it is. It’s a foreign dis-information bot farm account. I’m guessing you don’t know this is an AI generated voice over either, right? Is this product bad? Yes. Is this Amazon’s fault? No. But the account is leading you to believe it is. Amazon takes action once a product receives enough poor reviews. He is leading you to believe Amazon isn’t doing anything about it. Well, this product WILL be removed once it meets the review requirements.
I had a vendor that begged me to leave a positive review before the item arrived at my door. The item arrived, it was wrong type. They sent the correct item fast but again, they begged for good review and not to mention the mess up.
@@jameshelm1371 Also, if it "ships from China," you are getting a gift card for more junk. I canceled my Amazon subscription and don't miss it one bit.
I am from India, once I found a product that had high ratings and thousands of reviews. Upon checking the photos in review, I found that the reviews were about a completely different product. Informed this to their support team. Nothing happened.
It's one of Amazon's known issues. The company allows sellers to exchange the product for something completely different, but keep the reviews. At this time Amazon is no longer reliable.
what does it have to do with country ? why does your statement contains your country name and what does it have to do with the products . anyways you guys are scammers by default .
@@dammdaniel9953 Country is relevant. In different countries of the world there are various consumer protection laws. For example, I live in the European Union, and here the protection of consumer rights is quite strong. I am often shocked at how companies can fool consumers in America. Things are allowed in the US that are unimaginable in Europe. That is why the country is sometimes relevant.
A common practice Amazon promotes is sellers posting an inexpensive popular item that gets lots of positive reviews, then they change the product on that same page to a more expensive crappy product. All the reviews remain. Amazon has known this for years.
Yeah I also don't believe he disclosed it was a sponsored video in the video.. just hit it in the details. I mean it's probably honest in that all those other products don't work. But it's not hard to find 5 pieces of trash on Amazon to compare a product that might work to.
Some sellers will sell a great product for a while, build up great reviews, and then change the product listing to the scam product. Yet another Amazon issue - no one reviews the changes or removes previous reviews when a substantial change is made. Caveat emptor!
It's not super helpful unless you buy a lot from a particular category but there is the ability to follow reviewers like subscribing to a RUclips channel? If you happen to buy a lot of things from a particular category this can come in handy Many times you can tell immediately whether a review is a scam or whether there was no effort put into it really it's pretty obvious in most cases doesn't necessarily mean the reviewer is lying but it could mean they're just yes Manning whatever it is that's on the page and they're not really putting much effort into it If you have a category you buy a lot from and you find some good reviewers subscribe to them even if it's not a review on a product you're buying the information you read in the reviews can help you identify real from crap Think of it this way if you want curated verified vetted products you go to pep boys or AutoZone or advance Auto you keep your receipt etc Amazon is more like the wild West every time Dick and Harry and snake oil salesman is putting their crap up there and saying it's the best since sliced bread and while you should not have to that's not reality reality is you need educate yourself watch videos like this Those pumps really aren't that bad for example the orange one I have that pump or at least mine looks identical I just used it today to feel free tires from 20 to 40 PSI Is it 10,000 milliamp hours? As mine was advertised? Probably not although three tires it might be but I only paid 20 bucks for it I wasn't expecting Rolex :-) I would have been a little annoyed if I paid 60 bucks I'm surprised most of these pumps should be selling for 20 or 30 bucks on Amazon not 60 and he only posted his 9 days ago so I'm not sure when he bought these However I learned something new I learned that that danvik pump looks really damn nice it's got a nice semi hard shell case it's got an actual percentage display it's got a nice light it's got a reasonable capacity to multi-purpose use it and feel multiple tires and it looks like it has a all metal or at minimum metal casing compressor pump inside which is a really big deal because with the cheap plastic pumps duty cycles and extremely important thing to keep in mind usually 10 or 15 minutes tops and then you have to let it cool down or they will melt the plastic parts in the compressor will give when the plastic gets too hot and softens so that dandic one looks really nice.
It's only after people experience it for themselves, that they actually start believing it. There's always the gaslighters who blame the user, the "Your not doing it right" type trash.
4 batteries of 2000 mAh connected in series do not have 8000 mAh capacity. The total capacity is 2000 mAh, but with higher voltage. At 6:20, dual battery combo is called a single battery. The capacity claims are wildly exaggerated, but the video author does not know much about batteries.
I think it's because the ratings are usually for the cells. Similar to how power bank mah ratings aren't for what you'll actually get at the usb port. I agree that it's deceptive. We should probably be using watt-hour instead
@@peterkn2 There is no mistery or two way about this. It is perfecly clear what is the rated capacity of a cell and what is the rated capacity and voltage of a specific cell combo. The video author simply has no grasp of the topic.
I think we are missing the valuable information here.. it's not mah or being an engineer but simply bad products on Amazon that can't fully inflate 1 tire
I got the ryobi one to inflate paddle boards cuz everything else I have uses those batteries. After a couple years I decided to try it on bikes and cars. I can’t believe I was using a compressor. The ryobi one rocks!
I use the Ryobi one on my cars as well. It has a trigger like a drill, which is annoying, so I zip-tied it in the on position and just turned it on and off by disconnecting the battery. It works great for car tires, and I can easily air up multiple tires on a single one+ battery.
@@christopher88719there are two versions of the Ryobi inflator. The larger one that stand# by itself is by far the best all around inflator I’ve ever used. The other things are really just toys!
This is usually an emergency device that is resting in your car booth (like previously the spare tyre) until it someday gets used. For sure it then will have a dead battery (by lack of charging or age). Such a product is completely useless (unless you service several racing bicycles per day), Buy a cheap foot pump and you can be sure that it keeps functional no matter how long you left it unattended in your car. And not least never forget that low quality lithium crap can set your car or house on fire.
I have a foot pump stashed under a seat and can pump an SUV's tire from 18 to 34 psi in under a minute of idly stepping. Faster in a rush, but I'm never rushing anywhere.
@chrisbrooks6697 then this video is super unreliable and biased because it is made to look like a review when infact its sponsored. So who knows if its edited or if it actually inflated 4 tires in 1 charge. Use a little common sense next time please
@@randomasiankid017 LOL I was going to call him out for making a Denvix commercial myself, but I decided to read the description first. You know, to see if he did what is required by RUclips (and the law in many places) and disclosed the fact that it WAS in fact a paid advertisement. I used a little.... what's it called? Common sense? Doesn't seem to be so common, does it?
Two things: When batteries are wired in series the milliamp hour capacity does not increase but the voltage does IE: You have two 3 volt 2,000 milliamp batteries wired in series would Provide you with 6 volts but the capacity would still only be 2,000 milliamps. Take those same two batteries and wire them in parallel and you would have a 3 Volt output with a capacity of 4,000 milliamps. In other words: You can't just add up the Milliamp capacity if the batteries are wired in series because the milliamp capacity doesn't change at a specific voltage. Point number two: The 18650 batteries which are used in a lot of battery packs will often have fake milliamp hour ratings printed on them so much so that I actually made my own video exposing this scam. If anybody doubts what I'm saying remember one thing: I'm an electrical engineer and you're not : )
Even that's just a rule of thumb, the tie lines to parallel the batteries resistance will play a factor, as does the battery chemistry. Yeah, batteries can get complicated. Don't get me started on calculating a battery room for a full warehouse building sized routing and switching center's UPS. Or uglier, calculating cooling needs for open racked servers in an open air server room that was getting just standard vent supplied and returned air from an AC unit. And a "helpful" lieutenant that then bumped the specs from 16 ton unit to a 24 ton unit, which dutifully froze in the middle of a Persian Gulf desert... "Dear Lord, please save us from those who would do us unsolicited favors..." I'd already accounted for a 10% efficiency loss on top of the calculations and tossed in a 30% excess for both growth and fudge factor. Anything significantly greater wouldn't heat the coils enough to prevent freezing in 120 degree ambient temperatures. And while I was at it, rebalanced the electrical load, as the data center had happened, rather than being planned, so was drawing around 35% more from one rail.
@@EssentialComment The funny thing is I did the same thing: I looked for a comment correcting what was portrayed In this video and found none. It's Horrible how you have to practically be an engineer to understand all the gobbledygook in ads for ripoff products in order to not get scammed! I remember the good old days when companies would be prosecuted for false advertising and I sure miss David Horowitz!
@@Eden_Mwell if that's the case it would be easy to find out what's actually in those inflators and prove him to be a liar....the reason it hasn't happened is because hes not lying...doing an ad doesn't mean he didn't legitimately test the products...plus what he is showing is no surprise, this happens with tons of products....like all the fake SD cards or USB sticks that hold like 4gb but claim to be 1tb or something lol
My EPAuto 12V DC is pretty reliable and it's only $30. I've had it for over 2 years and it still works fine. I think the ones with the cigarette lighter socket as the power source are going to be more reliable.
This is an interesting option that avoids risk from battery fires (although I do keep a lithium battery jump starter on board). I'm conerned it might drain the tiny 12-volt battery in my plug-in hybrid, but is probably safe with the engine running.
@@elbertlim2872 I have an alloy wheel with a bit of corrosion causing a slow leak. This means regular top ups are required and a lot cheaper than trying to cure the leak. For this purpose I have a battery powered inflator that does what I need in the time it would take me to unwind the cable on the inflator that came as standard with the vehicle. If I had a need for any more than a top up then the 12 volt powered inflator would be the tool of choice.
I have had half a dozen critical reviews returned to me as "unacceptable" or "a violation of their terms of service." Amazon has killed the one absolutely essential attribute any on-line seller MUST have for a successful business: TRUST. Now, I skip the 4 and 5 star reviews and go to the 3's and 2's. That is often where the truth lies.
I personally have bought a few tyre inflators from AliExpress from around £14 to £20. I really didn't expect much from them and thought the batteries would be pretty useless. However, I was really pleasantly surprised by how good they are for that price.
You got the capacity wrong, those cells are arranged in series, you don't take 2000mAh and multiply by 3 or 4. .It doesn't work that way. If it's labeled as 18650 11.1v 2000mAh means it has only 2000mAh running at 11.1V, so it's even way lesser than the 20000mAh and or 25000mAh advertised. If it's labeled as 18650 3.7V 2000mAh and there's 3 cells, then you can call it as 6000mAh because they are connected in parallel. but these pumps require high voltage, so they are connected in series, increasing the voltage, not the capacity mAh
The convention appears to be stating capacity in "Li-Ion Equivalents" based on 4.2V cells rather than the actual series capacity of the cell string. It is sucky but not as bad as those who blatantly lie about what they actually put in the equipment.
I have a 12v Slime compressor with digital display that’s worked perfectly for at least a decade. The chances of your battery being dead at the same time your tire is low is pretty slim.
Also, lithium batteries drain by themselves and don't work when it's freezing. So, you must always remember to recharge them periodically (every 4 months or so) and also don't expect to rely on them in winter. 12V corded inflators for the win!
@ You can’t charge them when they’re below freezing but they will discharge just fine. I did battery certification for a company that had a battery with an internal self powered heater that would take it from -40 to above freezing. It didn’t take too long either.
@@SevenSixTwo2012 Most lithium-ion batteries have a self-discharge rate of between 0.5-3% per month. After 4 months the most I'd expect would be a loss of between 2-12%. I also prefer 12v corded inflators. I have a VIAIR 88P in my Jeep and carry a cheap Slime Junior on my motorcycle. Neither have let me down after years of use.
I have a big one in my car and a small slime one for the motorcycle. The battery in a 12v corded won't die and can keep going for all 4 tires. That being said, needing to put 19 psi in all 4 tires like this video is a pretty rare occurance too
7:10, No, this is NOT a 15 Ah powerbank. 3 cells in series doesn't add up. It's 5 Ah at nominally 11 Volts, which is 55 Wh, which is a number/term that is usable. mAh is a useless term as it doesn't tell you if it can supply 5 Ah at the USB output or if it's the falsely claimed 15 Ah before the stepdown-converter.
yes, YES, YES . . TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. The same thing at video position 5m:56s where there are four 4.2volt cells all in series which means the assembly is still ONLY 2000mA but at a system voltage of 16.8volts. This video is as misleading as the products.
The expensive items on Amazon are for illegally moving large amounts of money. There was a roll of 3d printing filament that normally sells for 30 dollars that one store sells for $1500! Send 6 grand overseas when you buy just 4 spools!
I purchased the Denvix a few months ago, I too was skeptical about the claims I saw in an infomercial. It came charged to 90% out of the box. The instructions specified to charge to 100% for its first use. After about 10 minutes it was ready for action. Took it out to my car and set it to 35 and let er rip. Had enough juice to inflate all 4 tires in about 20 minutes. I am happy with my purchase. My only concern is that the compressor gets hot after the 20 minutes. So far so good.
If you got power tools just buy an inflator from your power tool brand so you can use their external batteries. You really need four to six amp hour batteries to inflate tires.
Indeed. I have a RYOBI inflator that uses the same 18v battery as the rest of my RYOBI tools. It is also portable and works just fine. However, I also carry a 12v plug-in unit in my car as a back-up.
@@michaelp.Watermaker I have this one and use it on bicycles often. In the past it had worked well (except for the gauge which is off by 8psi) however after about 3 years the compressor seems like is about to die. It gets really hot and noisy when inflating a flat bicycle tire and sometimes gives off a little smoke when inflating but still works. When I see smoke I give it a rest for a minute or so.
yup my Dewalt is fantastic , taking a 285/35/22 tire from 7 to 36 psi in about 10 mins and the 4 ah battery will do this multiple times , I have a cracked alloy wheel and had to do that every morning this week
It’s a reasonable question, but the answer is convenience. I have a nice little Viair compressor that is powered by wired leads that directly clamp to the car’s battery posts. It works great, but takes a few minutes to get setup to use, and then a couple more minutes to neatly pack back up. Is it a huge deal? No, but a minor inconvenience. It’s much easier to run one of those battery powered units around instead, and I gotta say, the built in power bank functionality is kinda nice. Totally understand how these things have found a market.
@@dutifulbarrel9084 If you have a battery, then you also have the alternator. But, even if your motorcycle don't have the battery (i.e. the engine is started with a foot lever) you can still use the same concept to fill your tires (a pedal powered pump). Both the 12V operated pumps and the pedal powered pumps are cheaper and more reliable than the rechargeable ones (also, they don't run out juice in the middle of nowhere!)
I have one of these inflators, purchased from Amazon, and it looks pretty much exactly like all the ones you test in this video. But it absolutely lives up to its claims. I've topped off all 4 tires on my car with it (and one was very low because it had a slow leak). I'm thrilled with it and I keep it in my vehicle at all times. My only gripe about it is the very short hose. Like the ones you test in this video. If the valve is near the top of the rotation the compressor has to hang by it's hose while it fills the tire. Not a big deal since it threads on securely. It sucks that there are so many scams on Amazon these days but I'm very happy with the mini-inflator that I purchased.
A wireless tire inflator doesn't seem as practical as a wired one; regardless of the quality of a wireless one. Just get a $40 portable jump starter and wired air compressor.
3:22 ahhh it's killing me I need the verification from a real gauge to know if the garbage inflator is even pumping to the desired Psi.... Edit here.... thank you for doing this- wasn't aware this was so big and now going to look into this and share it!
Me too. And if I want to buy no-brand stuff, I can get it from aliexpress cheaper. This is why aliexpress and temu are threats to amazon. Since amazon cannot beat them in price, they have to beat them in quality but that would require redoing amazon from the ground up.
Great video! I noticed there are a lot of people on here saying your sponsored and misleading people… they must not have actually watched, it’s all right in front of them; yet, they can’t see your just making a good solid video about what’s good and what’s garbage. Those people trolling are worse than the other inflators you tried. 😂
I bought one from a Chinese retailer just to pump up my bicycle tyres. Since it is a foldable bike the tyres are 16inch and hold a minimum of air. After putting 2 tyres at 100 PSI the battery level dropped from 3 bars to 2 bars. Not sure if that is a linear meter or not but I wouldn't dare to inflate 2 car tyres with it. The major advantage of it is ... set the correct pressure push the button and wait till the excesive noise is over. Best part was that it was like 20 USD/Euro shipped. I should modify it that it can be used on a 12V car battery in case of an issue but thinking about it, how many amps does it draw and what voltage does the motor run at. If those cells are empty at like 14 minutes of use then it will be best to measure. (and don't forget the starting current). There are some ok priced dc/dc converters that can handle things but if you go this way then you really need to know what you are doing... and maybe there there are better ready to go alternatives around.
I found one at the dump I work at, it was used and I took it apart. The circlip that holds the connecting rod on the crank had popped off. it was stuck to the magnet on the motor, I re installed the clip and it works amazing!
Buying an inflater that runs off an internal battery is just a bad idea. Air compressors that actually work are high very current draw! I bought a $50 Astro compressor off Amazon that runs off the cars 12 volt battery or 120vac. Besides inflating tires it also quickly inflates air beds and anything else. It is powerful and very accurate inflating to the requested pressure.I can air the tires on my truck to 44 psi and my boat trailer to 50 psi in under 10 minutes. Could not be happier
Also this he’s being paid by one of the companies, so he’s definitely making it sound better than it actually was. Especially saying that one tire only used 15% while the other 3 used up 85%. Math ain’t matching 🤣
I just bought a tire inflator off of Amazon a couple weeks ago. I didn't trust any of these smaller looking rectangular boxes. Ended up going with a slightly more substantial looking one at $24 from "RocGorld" that plugged into the 12V of your car. Worked great. Filled my car tire from 12 PSI to 50 in about 8 minutes. Came with a nice little carrying case and different tips for tires and balls. Glad I trusted my gut and didn't get any of the ones like you tested in this video. They were all over Amazon and still are.
Amazon has almost always had this issue. Even if they bother to investigate a product, it's usually just the first one. I have seen countless times where a product page doesn't match what is shipped. Sellers are allowed to keep a page showing specs and pictures of a product that may no longer be in production. Even things blatantly obvious like being a different size, color or material isn't enough to get their stuff taken down.
This is the comment I wanted to see I know it’s confirmation bias but I got one at Costco and haven’t used it yet but freaking out thinking one of these pumps was going to be fantik 😂 thanks
I also have a Fanttik for two years now. I think I paid $70 in a Black Friday sale. It’s always been accurate and hasn’t failed me, but I haven’t used it to such extremes as shown here. But having seen what’s inside of these I’m a far I’d of what’s inside of mine 😓
Note that this is just an advertisement for the Denvix, which likely doesn't actually perform any better than the others. The author also consistently misunderstands the battery ratings.
I stuck with a name brand and got a DEWALT 20V MAX Tire Inflator. So far has never failed me, bought it Oct 2023. Now a year later today Oct 27, 2024 still zero issues. I don't trust these no name brands that I've never heard of and you know that you should take reviews on Amazon with a grain of salt.
Even the big-name ones suck, I would ONLY get one made by a tool company like you did, with a removable battery. I had a Xiaomi, which is a huge company, they make flagship smartphones and smart vacuums and whatnot so you'd like to think a simple inflator would be no problem, but while it worked, it always a one tire, max, deal, the battery simply would not hold more. So filling your winter tires when you went to put them back on always ended up taking half a day. I eventually just bought an el cheapo Ryobi that runs off their 18V system and the thing is a total champ, it can do all four tires and even a mid-sized battery only goes down 1 bar. I never even bother turning my big compressor on anymore.
I have the Milwaukee M18 tire inflator. The thing is awesome. I paid $199 but I got a 2 pack of 5.0 XC batteries and a charger with it, combo deal. Beyond worth it!
It used to be fairly easy to spot paid reviews, as most of them were in a very broken English, but with AI, it is so much easier for sellers to get fake reviews. Keep up the good work and keep them honest. I don't know about these "pocket" style inflators, but I bought my twin piston inflator about 4-5 years ago off Amazon, and it's still going strong, and due to wheel alloy rim corrosion, it gets regular monthly usage.
I think the good reviews are because most users wouldnt need to inflate more than one tire from such a low amount so most are just using it to top off tires. basically very few buyers would probably have used it to its full potential so they couldnt tell they were being ripped off. Although my favorite battery inflater i got for $5 at a thrift store, it was a Hart brand that uses the Hart 20v system found at walmart which i already had a few tools with it. so basically i have a $5 tire inflator that i can use my 4ah 20v battery with
I bought a TRAVELMAN T1 Jump Starter with Air Compressor last year and works fine. it takes a min or so to inflate each tire and battery last for a long time.
@2:30 - It's no 8000mah... that pack is likely 4 2000mah cells in series to give the stated 11.1 volts... so the capacity of the entire pack (also as stated) is 2000mah... making the advertisement an order of magnitude off.
It sucks that scammers disrupt the business of the providers that actually offer quality products. Fortunately, this (the subject of this video) is rare, and you just helped squash them. Thank You.
My question is why would anyone with common sense believe any of these tiny compressors that are the size of a power bank would work and inflate their tires quickly? These are not for car tires. Anything taking over 5 minutes to inflate is a scam or a that's all I have so I will try. Nobody should willingly purchase something this small and expect it to work in an emergency it's idiotic!!
I've had my Fanttik X8 Apex for 2 years. I'm happy with it. It claims >28Wh. I have topped off all 4 tires (maybe adding 4 psi per tire) on one charge with plenty of battery power left.
I picked up a Dewalt inflator (yes, from Cousin Jeff's General Store). It cost around a hundred bucks, runs on a 20v battery (not included). It will inflate tires (I used on car & bicycle), and lower-pressure inflatables such as beach balls. Using it is easy: dial in the pressure, hit the 'go' button, and you're all set. VERY satisfied.
They look too SMALL to inflate tyres and thas the problem.. Better off using the usual tyre inflator plugs into cigarette lighter, they look like they can do the job and are bigger and much cheaper from car stores or a foot pump.
I have an old compressor for the cigaret lighter plug. It is old, needs a few amps, takes some time (less than five minutes), no batteries, but works. I paid nothing for it.
I doubt anyone who knows how false the majority of these claims can be, actually buy for themselves. It's probably an unaware family member buying gifts and may never know their gift was tossed in the bin.
I can only assume most people buying these don't use them for Tires, and instead use it to inflate an air mattress or pool toys or something. For such short usage situations people probably think they are great. It also begs how useful the tool be in an emergency situation. If the thing just sits your trunk till you get a flat tire, how many months or even years would it sit idle? The battery probably be as flat as your tire by the time you pull it out.

I bought one that plugs into my car from Amazon for $25, 2 1/2 years later I still use it. I can do all of my tires and my husband’s, it never cuts off. I keep it in my trunk during the winter and the summer. It has been so reliable, but once it does go I’m glad I seen this video. I’ll buy another one that plugs in definitely.
Not defending these products, but to be fair, a LOT of small compressors could have issues, not necessarily reaching 44psi, but running that long, overheating the pump, and a safety switch kills it. I used to have that issue with some of the pancake compressors that were popular in the 80s. Sure, tech has improved since then, but that doesn't mean everything is built that way. On a positive note, with the FTC cracking down on some of the ways Chinese sellers have snuck garbage into the country and the very possible financial collapse of Temu, we should be seeing a major drop in the number of these bad products. Definitely keep up with exposing this trash!
You're not the first one exposing amazon scams. The main culprit is amazon because it obviuously doesn't care (or worse: totally agree). I don't thrust amazon reviews since a while.
One clarification to the author: when batteries are connected in series, the milliampere hours do not add up. The voltage and watt-hours are added. When batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage does not add up. The milliampere hours and watt-hours are added.
Disappointing that user reviews did not highlight these false claims. Got another inflator and found I could not inflate my bike tyres, which is why I bought it. At least I can use it for my car tyres.
In a half century plus of car ownership I have owned and used many portable air compressors. Most of them turned out to be not worth the price of used toilet paper. It didn't matter if they were car battery powered or self contained rechargeable battery powered. The mechanical aspects of many of them are often made as cheaply as possible with quality control not being in the marker vocabulary. Many could not properly inflate a full sized car tire and dealing with a truck or tractor tire (they get flats too) is wholly beyond the dreams of these little toys. Most of them can handle a small bicycle tire, so they do have that niche, but nothing larger. I find overheating to be the primary cause of failure. Compressing air produces heat and in the rush to make everything small and lightweight the ability to withstand and shed the heat of operation is lost. I have actually had two that visibly melted while trying to inflate a tire. Often the machines get half way done, then simply die. Regarding the batteries not meeting specs, I would if they were mine, just go online to Nightcore and buy batteries with more mAh capacity and wire them in. 3 or 4 4,000mAh batteries might make a big difference to the ones you tested. Until they got hot anyway. I learned a very long time ago to not put faith in all-in-one electronic devices. Your light, phone charger and air compressor (or car battery jump starter) looks great on paper. However on the day it suddenly is dead or shorted out,you will have lost 3 (or 4) devices not just one. Better is seperate devices with some redundancy.
@5:23 you'll see a yellow inflator that has a shape of a "gun" it has a removable battery similar to the one used in drills, you can use it wirelessly or plug it to the cigarette lighter. I have one similar to this and I'm happy with it
This is why I bought the one with a cigarette lighter cable 😂 Maybe a bit inconvenience, but it lasts really long using it for years. Battery can go bad overtime. There is no need to worry about that with cable one 😂
As someone who runs an automotive shop with a commercial air compressor that runs about 160 PSI, I laugh at these pitiful little compressors taking 8 minutes to air up a tire.
Now I am happy that I bought a 12V dual pump for my car with a rather long cord, it is quite noisy but it pumps quickly with a build in light, nice. This video just left me with the impression that all battery pumps are useless no matter brand
as myself has bought many tire inflator, i can tell xiaomi air pump 2 pro is the best tire inflator in this moment. [cons are that air pump a little bit huge then the other tire inflators but acceptable.]
I don't understand why people even buy these inflators. To inflate car tires efficiently, the inflator should have a good size cylinder, and none of these little ones have. There are good 12V inflators costing around $30. I always carry one in the trunk of my car. These little rechargeable ones offer no advantage.
I bought one of those inflators for $35 & I'm happy with it. It helped me when I needed it for what it does. I had to buy a USB 3.0 charger & cable to charge it. It needs a 5 minute cool down after 15 minutes of inflating which gets it to pump in about 12 psi each time. It can charge off the lighter socket but it needs a long charge time that way.
If you're looking for one I reccomend Mophie. It's a tire inflator, jump starter (started my completely dead 5.7l V8 on my Silverado like it was a V4) is a power bank with USB ports and has a white and red flash light with an SOS mode. Had it for over a year and 0 issues. Battery lasts me almost a week when I use it several hours a day with the power bank. Also I'm confident it can eaily fill all r tires from flat and comes with a window breaker and other air pump tips to fills balls and such. Got mine for $70
As long as Amazon is raking in the money, I am sure they could give zero fucks if the products are pure garbage.

Facts more fake bullshit
All these OFF brand inflators too. They seem cheap and wont last. I've bought 4 of the WORX inflators for family. i've had them a couple years now and going strong. I'd be done with all 4 tires in around 10 min normally. When I do them, the tires are usually 3-10 psi low. So 7-9 min for each tire is super slow. It's not as small but still small enough to be very convenient and still around the same price or cheaper. Especially if you already have WORX stuff and don't need the battery. 1 charge on it and I easily do 3 to 4 cars and have lots of battery left.
A minute in and that's the same thing I was thinking.

Amazon bans people who do true negative reviews but of course allows all postive reviews. I know because thats what they did to me. There are a lot of bad products especially with batteries and memory (sd and usb key) being sold. Too bad.
Each negative review I have put on Amazon has been declined and not posted either.
All of my negative reviews are on Amazon. All of them.
I review a lot of tech stuff because I buy a lot of it and the only time I ever had issues with a review being removed was when I called a product shit. Literally the word shit was what they complained about.
I dont review . Nor i go by the review anymore. If i do, the product has to be that good minimum 4.5 star from my perspective after receiving , if not, i would simply throw back on their face !

as a former Amazon Associates Support agent, I can tell you, being an Amazon Associate and being able to get these affiliate links, are not the same as a sponsorship. Yes, it's an advertisement and he's trying to get you to buy the product using his link so he earns a small commission off every sale, but that's different from a sponsorship in that Denvix themselves are not asking him to promote the product or telling him what to say. like you would get with say, people getting sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends or whatever to put an ad in their video.

And if you test those 2000mAh cells, you will be lucky to get 1000mAh...
If you buy a tire inflator for $800 you must have cash to burn
Yeah better buy 4 new tyres with 800$ lol.
it was $700 last year but they had to put the price up due to inflation😂
True lol. If you have $800 to burn on a tire inflator I bet you aint inflating your own tires anyways. 🤣😂🤔

Amazon does not care who gets screwed. I have tried to report companies trying to bribe me into changing my rating, giving me an Amazon gift card. I have a feeling there are a lot of gift card collectors out there.
…probably because you don’t recognize this channel for what it is. It’s a foreign dis-information bot farm account. I’m guessing you don’t know this is an AI generated voice over either, right? Is this product bad? Yes. Is this Amazon’s fault? No. But the account is leading you to believe it is. Amazon takes action once a product receives enough poor reviews. He is leading you to believe Amazon isn’t doing anything about it. Well, this product WILL be removed once it meets the review requirements.

I had one Amazon seller almost threaten me. Told me they knew where I live.
I am from India, once I found a product that had high ratings and thousands of reviews.
Upon checking the photos in review, I found that the reviews were about a completely different product. Informed this to their support team. Nothing happened.
It's one of Amazon's known issues. The company allows sellers to exchange the product for something completely different, but keep the reviews. At this time Amazon is no longer reliable.
what does it have to do with country ? why does your statement contains your country name and what does it have to do with the products . anyways you guys are scammers by default .
I have seen that same thing many times.
True. That is how to recognize scam-reviews.
@@dammdaniel9953 Country is relevant. In different countries of the world there are various consumer protection laws. For example, I live in the European Union, and here the protection of consumer rights is quite strong. I am often shocked at how companies can fool consumers in America. Things are allowed in the US that are unimaginable in Europe. That is why the country is sometimes relevant.
A common practice Amazon promotes is sellers posting an inexpensive popular item that gets lots of positive reviews, then they change the product on that same page to a more expensive crappy product. All the reviews remain. Amazon has known this for years.
Kind of convenient how so many products reviewed are scams all except for the sponsor's one which turns out to be excellent...
😂
Yeah I also don't believe he disclosed it was a sponsored video in the video.. just hit it in the details. I mean it's probably honest in that all those other products don't work. But it's not hard to find 5 pieces of trash on Amazon to compare a product that might work to.
Almost all Amazon reviews been lies for mamy years.
Many of the reviews not even of the advertised product!
Just like this video. Although Denvix sponsored this video, my opinion and tests are completely independent.
Some sellers will sell a great product for a while, build up great reviews, and then change the product listing to the scam product. Yet another Amazon issue - no one reviews the changes or removes previous reviews when a substantial change is made. Caveat emptor!
It's not super helpful unless you buy a lot from a particular category but there is the ability to follow reviewers like subscribing to a RUclips channel? If you happen to buy a lot of things from a particular category this can come in handy
Many times you can tell immediately whether a review is a scam or whether there was no effort put into it really it's pretty obvious in most cases doesn't necessarily mean the reviewer is lying but it could mean they're just yes Manning whatever it is that's on the page and they're not really putting much effort into it
If you have a category you buy a lot from and you find some good reviewers subscribe to them even if it's not a review on a product you're buying the information you read in the reviews can help you identify real from crap
Think of it this way if you want curated verified vetted products you go to pep boys or AutoZone or advance Auto you keep your receipt etc
Amazon is more like the wild West every time Dick and Harry and snake oil salesman is putting their crap up there and saying it's the best since sliced bread and while you should not have to that's not reality reality is you need educate yourself watch videos like this
Those pumps really aren't that bad for example the orange one I have that pump or at least mine looks identical I just used it today to feel free tires from 20 to 40 PSI Is it 10,000 milliamp hours? As mine was advertised? Probably not although three tires it might be but I only paid 20 bucks for it I wasn't expecting Rolex :-) I would have been a little annoyed if I paid 60 bucks I'm surprised most of these pumps should be selling for 20 or 30 bucks on Amazon not 60 and he only posted his 9 days ago so I'm not sure when he bought these
However I learned something new I learned that that danvik pump looks really damn nice it's got a nice semi hard shell case it's got an actual percentage display it's got a nice light it's got a reasonable capacity to multi-purpose use it and feel multiple tires and it looks like it has a all metal or at minimum metal casing compressor pump inside which is a really big deal because with the cheap plastic pumps duty cycles and extremely important thing to keep in mind usually 10 or 15 minutes tops and then you have to let it cool down or they will melt the plastic parts in the compressor will give when the plastic gets too hot and softens so that dandic one looks really nice.
Yup just read the negativr reviews.
It's only after people experience it for themselves, that they actually start believing it. There's always the gaslighters who blame the user, the "Your not doing it right" type trash.
4 batteries of 2000 mAh connected in series do not have 8000 mAh capacity. The total capacity is 2000 mAh, but with higher voltage.
At 6:20, dual battery combo is called a single battery. The capacity claims are wildly exaggerated, but the video author does not know much about batteries.
Exactly, wired in series increases voltage but not total mAh, wired in parallel is the opposite, increases mAh but voltage does not increase.
I think it's because the ratings are usually for the cells. Similar to how power bank mah ratings aren't for what you'll actually get at the usb port.
I agree that it's deceptive. We should probably be using watt-hour instead
@@peterkn2 There is no mistery or two way about this. It is perfecly clear what is the rated capacity of a cell and what is the rated capacity and voltage of a specific cell combo. The video author simply has no grasp of the topic.
I think we are missing the valuable information here.. it's not mah or being an engineer but simply bad products on Amazon that can't fully inflate 1 tire

I use a Ryobi inflator that has been used quite a lot for the past 4 years, and it's still going strong with no issues.
I got the ryobi one to inflate paddle boards cuz everything else I have uses those batteries. After a couple years I decided to try it on bikes and cars. I can’t believe I was using a compressor. The ryobi one rocks!
I use the Ryobi one on my cars as well. It has a trigger like a drill, which is annoying, so I zip-tied it in the on position and just turned it on and off by disconnecting the battery. It works great for car tires, and I can easily air up multiple tires on a single one+ battery.

I use a $10 foot pump. Does it easily and quickly and has for five years. No nasty lithium left over either.
Does it easily and quickly? What are you smoking? Does it slow with max amount of effort. Normal quality $100 inflator is about 10X faster.
I also have a foot pump works fine always available
This is usually an emergency device that is resting in your car booth (like previously the spare tyre) until it someday gets used. For sure it then will have a dead battery (by lack of charging or age). Such a product is completely useless (unless you service several racing bicycles per day), Buy a cheap foot pump and you can be sure that it keeps functional no matter how long you left it unattended in your car. And not least never forget that low quality lithium crap can set your car or house on fire.
I have a foot pump stashed under a seat and can pump an SUV's tire from 18 to 34 psi in under a minute of idly stepping. Faster in a rush, but I'm never rushing anywhere.

Common sense? Doesn't seem to be so common, does it?
Two things: When batteries are wired in series the milliamp hour capacity does not increase but the voltage does IE: You have two 3 volt 2,000 milliamp batteries wired in series would Provide you with 6 volts but the capacity would still only be 2,000 milliamps. Take those same two batteries and wire them in parallel and you would have a 3 Volt output with a capacity of 4,000 milliamps. In other words: You can't just add up the Milliamp capacity if the batteries are wired in series because the milliamp capacity doesn't change at a specific voltage. Point number two: The 18650 batteries which are used in a lot of battery packs will often have fake milliamp hour ratings printed on them so much so that I actually made my own video exposing this scam. If anybody doubts what I'm saying remember one thing: I'm an electrical engineer and you're not : )
Even that's just a rule of thumb, the tie lines to parallel the batteries resistance will play a factor, as does the battery chemistry.
Yeah, batteries can get complicated. Don't get me started on calculating a battery room for a full warehouse building sized routing and switching center's UPS.
Or uglier, calculating cooling needs for open racked servers in an open air server room that was getting just standard vent supplied and returned air from an AC unit. And a "helpful" lieutenant that then bumped the specs from 16 ton unit to a 24 ton unit, which dutifully froze in the middle of a Persian Gulf desert...
"Dear Lord, please save us from those who would do us unsolicited favors..."
I'd already accounted for a 10% efficiency loss on top of the calculations and tossed in a 30% excess for both growth and fudge factor. Anything significantly greater wouldn't heat the coils enough to prevent freezing in 120 degree ambient temperatures. And while I was at it, rebalanced the electrical load, as the data center had happened, rather than being planned, so was drawing around 35% more from one rail.

My EPAuto 12V DC is pretty reliable and it's only $30. I've had it for over 2 years and it still works fine. I think the ones with the cigarette lighter socket as the power source are going to be more reliable.
This is an interesting option that avoids risk from battery fires (although I do keep a lithium battery jump starter on board). I'm conerned it might drain the tiny 12-volt battery in my plug-in hybrid, but is probably safe with the engine running.
it's just junk the lithium battery pumps also when will it burst into flames in your glove box / boot ......
Have been using mine for 25yrs,i agree.
The downside is the cable, but it is long enough, so I don't really have a problem with it. Using it for years 😂
@@elbertlim2872 I have an alloy wheel with a bit of corrosion causing a slow leak. This means regular top ups are required and a lot cheaper than trying to cure the leak. For this purpose I have a battery powered inflator that does what I need in the time it would take me to unwind the cable on the inflator that came as standard with the vehicle. If I had a need for any more than a top up then the 12 volt powered inflator would be the tool of choice.
I have had half a dozen critical reviews returned to me as "unacceptable" or "a violation of their terms of service." Amazon has killed the one absolutely essential attribute any on-line seller MUST have for a successful business: TRUST. Now, I skip the 4 and 5 star reviews and go to the 3's and 2's. That is often where the truth lies.
Amazon blocked me from reviewing stuff for LIFE because I point out the scams with flashdrives and microSD cards
I go DIRECTLY to th 1 star reviews. Amazon should have 10 stars for a more accurate assessment.
I personally have bought a few tyre inflators from AliExpress from around £14 to £20. I really didn't expect much from them and thought the batteries would be pretty useless. However, I was really pleasantly surprised by how good they are for that price.
You got the capacity wrong, those cells are arranged in series, you don't take 2000mAh and multiply by 3 or 4. .It doesn't work that way.
If it's labeled as 18650 11.1v 2000mAh means it has only 2000mAh running at 11.1V, so it's even way lesser than the 20000mAh and or 25000mAh advertised.
If it's labeled as 18650 3.7V 2000mAh and there's 3 cells, then you can call it as 6000mAh because they are connected in parallel. but these pumps require high voltage, so they are connected in series, increasing the voltage, not the capacity mAh
The convention appears to be stating capacity in "Li-Ion Equivalents" based on 4.2V cells rather than the actual series capacity of the cell string. It is sucky but not as bad as those who blatantly lie about what they actually put in the equipment.
I have a 12v Slime compressor with digital display that’s worked perfectly for at least a decade. The chances of your battery being dead at the same time your tire is low is pretty slim.
Kind of an expensive gadget to have when you likely have an auxillary power port in your vehicle and the plugin style compressors seem to never fail.
Also, lithium batteries drain by themselves and don't work when it's freezing. So, you must always remember to recharge them periodically (every 4 months or so) and also don't expect to rely on them in winter. 12V corded inflators for the win!
@ You can’t charge them when they’re below freezing but they will discharge just fine. I did battery certification for a company that had a battery with an internal self powered heater that would take it from -40 to above freezing. It didn’t take too long either.
@@SevenSixTwo2012 Most lithium-ion batteries have a self-discharge rate of between 0.5-3% per month. After 4 months the most I'd expect would be a loss of between 2-12%. I also prefer 12v corded inflators. I have a VIAIR 88P in my Jeep and carry a cheap Slime Junior on my motorcycle. Neither have let me down after years of use.
I have a big one in my car and a small slime one for the motorcycle. The battery in a 12v corded won't die and can keep going for all 4 tires. That being said, needing to put 19 psi in all 4 tires like this video is a pretty rare occurance too
7:10, No, this is NOT a 15 Ah powerbank. 3 cells in series doesn't add up. It's 5 Ah at nominally 11 Volts, which is 55 Wh, which is a number/term that is usable. mAh is a useless term as it doesn't tell you if it can supply 5 Ah at the USB output or if it's the falsely claimed 15 Ah before the stepdown-converter.
yes, YES, YES . . TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
The same thing at video position 5m:56s where there are four 4.2volt cells all in series which means the assembly is still ONLY 2000mA but at a system voltage of 16.8volts. This video is as misleading as the products.
There are no true 5Ahr 18650 cells either so the most it could be is three 3Ahr cells. More likely 2Ahr since true 3Ahr cells are expensive.
@emehlhar Yep.

I purchased the Denvix a few months ago, I too was skeptical about the claims I saw in an infomercial. It came charged to 90% out of the box. The instructions specified to charge to 100% for its first use. After about 10 minutes it was ready for action. Took it out to my car and set it to 35 and let er rip. Had enough juice to inflate all 4 tires in about 20 minutes. I am happy with my purchase. My only concern is that the compressor gets hot after the 20 minutes. So far so good.
Who tf is spending $800 bucks for a tire inflator 😂😂
Idiots who need a money management course.
Exactly this
You could buy 2 milwaukee inflators with 2 12 amp batteries with enough battery to inflate 60 tires
People with more money than we have
If you got power tools just buy an inflator from your power tool brand so you can use their external batteries. You really need four to six amp hour batteries to inflate tires.
Indeed. I have a RYOBI inflator that uses the same 18v battery as the rest of my RYOBI tools. It is also portable and works just fine. However, I also carry a 12v plug-in unit in my car as a back-up.
I agree with the idea. But I’m on my third unit from Kobalt that takes my cordless drill batteries. They fail and I let them cool down. 😩
@@michaelp.Watermaker I have this one and use it on bicycles often. In the past it had worked well (except for the gauge which is off by 8psi) however after about 3 years the compressor seems like is about to die. It gets really hot and noisy when inflating a flat bicycle tire and sometimes gives off a little smoke when inflating but still works. When I see smoke I give it a rest for a minute or so.
Makita DMP180ZX works good.
yup my Dewalt is fantastic , taking a 285/35/22 tire from 7 to 36 psi in about 10 mins and the 4 ah battery will do this multiple times , I have a cracked alloy wheel and had to do that every morning this week
There is a battery and alternator in the car why bother with a battery operated inflator?
It’s a reasonable question, but the answer is convenience. I have a nice little Viair compressor that is powered by wired leads that directly clamp to the car’s battery posts.
It works great, but takes a few minutes to get setup to use, and then a couple more minutes to neatly pack back up. Is it a huge deal? No, but a minor inconvenience. It’s much easier to run one of those battery powered units around instead, and I gotta say, the built in power bank functionality is kinda nice.
Totally understand how these things have found a market.
My motorcycle doesn't have an alternator to power a pump, so it works perfect for me
@@dutifulbarrel9084 does your bike by chance have a stator?
@jessiemcgee7057 it does! Not powerful enough for a pump though
@@dutifulbarrel9084 If you have a battery, then you also have the alternator.
But, even if your motorcycle don't have the battery (i.e. the engine is started with a foot lever) you can still use the same concept to fill your tires (a pedal powered pump).
Both the 12V operated pumps and the pedal powered pumps are cheaper and more reliable than the rechargeable ones (also, they don't run out juice in the middle of nowhere!)
$800!?!?!??!?! If you buy that over a normal battery jumper/inflator you deserve to get scammed
I have one of these inflators, purchased from Amazon, and it looks pretty much exactly like all the ones you test in this video. But it absolutely lives up to its claims. I've topped off all 4 tires on my car with it (and one was very low because it had a slow leak). I'm thrilled with it and I keep it in my vehicle at all times. My only gripe about it is the very short hose. Like the ones you test in this video. If the valve is near the top of the rotation the compressor has to hang by it's hose while it fills the tire. Not a big deal since it threads on securely.
It sucks that there are so many scams on Amazon these days but I'm very happy with the mini-inflator that I purchased.
lol denvix sponsored the video smh
Many of these portable air inflators falsely advertise, we have reviewed many of them. Thanks for opening up the units and checking the MAHs.
Thank you for the Denvix commercial. How much you get paid?
Even the Denvix is a lie. It's a 5 Ah battery pack. Lies, all lies!
A wireless tire inflator doesn't seem as practical as a wired one; regardless of the quality of a wireless one. Just get a $40 portable jump starter and wired air compressor.
3:22 ahhh it's killing me I need the verification from a real gauge to know if the garbage inflator is even pumping to the desired Psi....
Edit here.... thank you for doing this- wasn't aware this was so big and now going to look into this and share it!
Amazon is filled with fake reviews. That is why from now on, whenever I buy from Amazon, I always stick to brand names.
Me too. And if I want to buy no-brand stuff, I can get it from aliexpress cheaper. This is why aliexpress and temu are threats to amazon. Since amazon cannot beat them in price, they have to beat them in quality but that would require redoing amazon from the ground up.
$800 inflator! Better come with a bicycle or a car with it😂
The best are the ones that connects directly in the 12V of the car. Simple and do the job.
That's what I have
Exactly
Why do you actually need it rechargeable with big battery when you have car charger socket. 2,000Mah is enough.
Great video! I noticed there are a lot of people on here saying your sponsored and misleading people… they must not have actually watched, it’s all right in front of them; yet, they can’t see your just making a good solid video about what’s good and what’s garbage. Those people trolling are worse than the other inflators you tried. 😂
I bought one from a Chinese retailer just to pump up my bicycle tyres. Since it is a foldable bike the tyres are 16inch and hold a minimum of air. After putting 2 tyres at 100 PSI the battery level dropped from 3 bars to 2 bars. Not sure if that is a linear meter or not but I wouldn't dare to inflate 2 car tyres with it. The major advantage of it is ... set the correct pressure push the button and wait till the excesive noise is over.
Best part was that it was like 20 USD/Euro shipped. I should modify it that it can be used on a 12V car battery in case of an issue but thinking about it, how many amps does it draw and what voltage does the motor run at. If those cells are empty at like 14 minutes of use then it will be best to measure. (and don't forget the starting current). There are some ok priced dc/dc converters that can handle things but if you go this way then you really need to know what you are doing... and maybe there there are better ready to go alternatives around.
Got a Ryobi for less that $70. Came with a 2Ah battery interchangeable for my drill and other tools. Still running great after 2 yrs. 👌
I found one at the dump I work at, it was used and I took it apart. The circlip that holds the connecting rod on the crank had popped off. it was stuck to the magnet on the motor, I re installed the clip and it works amazing!
Buying an inflater that runs off an internal battery is just a bad idea. Air compressors that actually work are high very current draw! I bought a $50 Astro compressor off Amazon that runs off the cars 12 volt battery or 120vac. Besides inflating tires it also quickly inflates air beds and anything else. It is powerful and very accurate inflating to the requested pressure.I can air the tires on my truck to 44 psi and my boat trailer to 50 psi in under 10 minutes. Could not be happier
Also this he’s being paid by one of the companies, so he’s definitely making it sound better than it actually was. Especially saying that one tire only used 15% while the other 3 used up 85%. Math ain’t matching 🤣
I just bought a tire inflator off of Amazon a couple weeks ago. I didn't trust any of these smaller looking rectangular boxes. Ended up going with a slightly more substantial looking one at $24 from "RocGorld" that plugged into the 12V of your car. Worked great. Filled my car tire from 12 PSI to 50 in about 8 minutes. Came with a nice little carrying case and different tips for tires and balls. Glad I trusted my gut and didn't get any of the ones like you tested in this video. They were all over Amazon and still are.
Amazon has almost always had this issue. Even if they bother to investigate a product, it's usually just the first one. I have seen countless times where a product page doesn't match what is shipped. Sellers are allowed to keep a page showing specs and pictures of a product that may no longer be in production. Even things blatantly obvious like being a different size, color or material isn't enough to get their stuff taken down.
I have the fantik air compressor and it works like a champ I've also given it to others as gifts and they love it
This is the comment I wanted to see I know it’s confirmation bias but I got one at Costco and haven’t used it yet but freaking out thinking one of these pumps was going to be fantik 😂 thanks
Have the jump starter and the inflator from fantik. But have come in clutch when I needed them.
I also have a Fanttik for two years now. I think I paid $70 in a Black Friday sale. It’s always been accurate and hasn’t failed me, but I haven’t used it to such extremes as shown here. But having seen what’s inside of these I’m a far I’d of what’s inside of mine 😓
Amazon loves fake reviews. Garbage like this doesn't surprise me. Great video. 👍
Fantastic video! please continue to do more consumer advocacy!
Thank you! Will do!

I stuck with a name brand and got a DEWALT 20V MAX Tire Inflator. So far has never failed me, bought it Oct 2023. Now a year later today Oct 27, 2024 still zero issues. I don't trust these no name brands that I've never heard of and you know that you should take reviews on Amazon with a grain of salt.
Even the big-name ones suck, I would ONLY get one made by a tool company like you did, with a removable battery. I had a Xiaomi, which is a huge company, they make flagship smartphones and smart vacuums and whatnot so you'd like to think a simple inflator would be no problem, but while it worked, it always a one tire, max, deal, the battery simply would not hold more. So filling your winter tires when you went to put them back on always ended up taking half a day. I eventually just bought an el cheapo Ryobi that runs off their 18V system and the thing is a total champ, it can do all four tires and even a mid-sized battery only goes down 1 bar. I never even bother turning my big compressor on anymore.
I have the Milwaukee M18 tire inflator. The thing is awesome. I paid $199 but I got a 2 pack of 5.0 XC batteries and a charger with it, combo deal. Beyond worth it!
You are another victim of the scam.
@@doriangray2020 ?
It used to be fairly easy to spot paid reviews, as most of them were in a very broken English, but with AI, it is so much easier for sellers to get fake reviews. Keep up the good work and keep them honest.
I don't know about these "pocket" style inflators, but I bought my twin piston inflator about 4-5 years ago off Amazon, and it's still going strong, and due to wheel alloy rim corrosion, it gets regular monthly usage.
I think the good reviews are because most users wouldnt need to inflate more than one tire from such a low amount so most are just using it to top off tires. basically very few buyers would probably have used it to its full potential so they couldnt tell they were being ripped off.
Although my favorite battery inflater i got for $5 at a thrift store, it was a Hart brand that uses the Hart 20v system found at walmart which i already had a few tools with it. so basically i have a $5 tire inflator that i can use my 4ah 20v battery with
I bought a TRAVELMAN T1 Jump Starter with Air Compressor last year and works fine. it takes a min or so to inflate each tire and battery last for a long time.
The fact you ever believed Amazon is very troubling.😂
How it’s a whole billion dollar company 😂
@2:30 - It's no 8000mah... that pack is likely 4 2000mah cells in series to give the stated 11.1 volts... so the capacity of the entire pack (also as stated) is 2000mah... making the advertisement an order of magnitude off.
Totally correct. The cells ARE in series... look at the connections and the rated voltage. It is just 2,000 mAh.
The black "cell" appears to tube a spacer, so yeah.
3S1P pack at 2000mAh.
Definitely only 3 cells.
This video has so many errors in it.
It sucks that scammers disrupt the business of the providers that actually offer quality products. Fortunately, this (the subject of this video) is rare, and you just helped squash them. Thank You.
Hang on this is an advert for Denvix 😂
Excellent information, glad I found your channel 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
“… can’t trust Amazon the way [you] used to?” You trusted a major corporation? Did you recently awaken from a twenty year coma?
My question is why would anyone with common sense believe any of these tiny compressors that are the size of a power bank would work and inflate their tires quickly? These are not for car tires. Anything taking over 5 minutes to inflate is a scam or a that's all I have so I will try. Nobody should willingly purchase something this small and expect it to work in an emergency it's idiotic!!
I've had my Fanttik X8 Apex for 2 years. I'm happy with it. It claims >28Wh. I have topped off all 4 tires (maybe adding 4 psi per tire) on one charge with plenty of battery power left.
I picked up a Dewalt inflator (yes, from Cousin Jeff's General Store). It cost around a hundred bucks, runs on a 20v battery (not included). It will inflate tires (I used on car & bicycle), and lower-pressure inflatables such as beach balls. Using it is easy: dial in the pressure, hit the 'go' button, and you're all set. VERY satisfied.
What's even more shocking is that when I made a comment about a product on Amazon that was fraudulent, Amazon threatened to close my account
$800!?!? I went to Home Depot and bought the Milwaukee tire inflator. It's a beast of a workhorse.
They look too SMALL to inflate tyres and thas the problem..
Better off using the usual tyre inflator plugs into cigarette lighter, they look like they can do the job and are bigger and much cheaper from car stores or a foot pump.
I have an old compressor for the cigaret lighter plug. It is old, needs a few amps, takes some time (less than five minutes), no batteries, but works. I paid nothing for it.
"Although Denvix sponsored this video, my opinion and tests are completely independent."
Riiiiiightttt.......
Most of these might suck for a car, but the one I bought for my motorcycle brings me peace of mind.
I doubt anyone who knows how false the majority of these claims can be, actually buy for themselves. It's probably an unaware family member buying gifts and may never know their gift was tossed in the bin.
I can only assume most people buying these don't use them for Tires, and instead use it to inflate an air mattress or pool toys or something. For such short usage situations people probably think they are great. It also begs how useful the tool be in an emergency situation. If the thing just sits your trunk till you get a flat tire, how many months or even years would it sit idle? The battery probably be as flat as your tire by the time you pull it out.
I have the Airmoto in my car that i use all the time. It cant inflate all 4 tires in one charge but I have no complaints otherwise!
"Trust Amazon"?? Huh? Why would you? Just read the negative comments about products first, always.
i downvoted because this is obvious a sponsored video. Nothing wrong with that but just like how those reviews are misleading so is this video.
+1 for stating its sponsored. -1 for structuring the video in a way where it doesn't appear to be a sponsored review

I bought one that plugs into my car from Amazon for $25, 2 1/2 years later I still use it. I can do all of my tires and my husband’s, it never cuts off. I keep it in my trunk during the winter and the summer. It has been so reliable, but once it does go I’m glad I seen this video. I’ll buy another one that plugs in definitely.
Not defending these products, but to be fair, a LOT of small compressors could have issues, not necessarily reaching 44psi, but running that long, overheating the pump, and a safety switch kills it. I used to have that issue with some of the pancake compressors that were popular in the 80s. Sure, tech has improved since then, but that doesn't mean everything is built that way.
On a positive note, with the FTC cracking down on some of the ways Chinese sellers have snuck garbage into the country and the very possible financial collapse of Temu, we should be seeing a major drop in the number of these bad products.
Definitely keep up with exposing this trash!
Step 1: Become an Aliexpress drop shipper.
Step2: pick out 20$ tire pumps.
Step3: List on Amazon with fake specs
Step4: Profit!
You're not the first one exposing amazon scams. The main culprit is amazon because it obviuously doesn't care (or worse: totally agree). I don't thrust amazon reviews since a while.
I'll just stick to my pump, a lot more reliable
One clarification to the author: when batteries are connected in series, the milliampere hours do not add up. The voltage and watt-hours are added. When batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage does not add up. The milliampere hours and watt-hours are added.
Disappointing that user reviews did not highlight these false claims. Got another inflator and found I could not inflate my bike tyres, which is why I bought it. At least I can use it for my car tyres.
In a half century plus of car ownership I have owned and used many portable air compressors. Most of them turned out to be not worth the price of used toilet paper. It didn't matter if they were car battery powered or self contained rechargeable battery powered. The mechanical aspects of many of them are often made as cheaply as possible with quality control not being in the marker vocabulary. Many could not properly inflate a full sized car tire and dealing with a truck or tractor tire (they get flats too) is wholly beyond the dreams of these little toys. Most of them can handle a small bicycle tire, so they do have that niche, but nothing larger. I find overheating to be the primary cause of failure. Compressing air produces heat and in the rush to make everything small and lightweight the ability to withstand and shed the heat of operation is lost. I have actually had two that visibly melted while trying to inflate a tire. Often the machines get half way done, then simply die.
Regarding the batteries not meeting specs, I would if they were mine, just go online to Nightcore and buy batteries with more mAh capacity and wire them in. 3 or 4 4,000mAh batteries might make a big difference to the ones you tested. Until they got hot anyway.
I learned a very long time ago to not put faith in all-in-one electronic devices. Your light, phone charger and air compressor (or car battery jump starter) looks great on paper. However on the day it suddenly is dead or shorted out,you will have lost 3 (or 4) devices not just one. Better is seperate devices with some redundancy.
Words to live by.
" If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't".
Is this really an impartial review or a sales pitch for a particular brand of inflator?
I bought a tire inflator that plugs into the cigarette lighter for $19 on Amazon. Works like a charm. Stay away from battery operated.
I'll never fall for that scam again....welp, time to go get my Winter Air installed.
@5:23 you'll see a yellow inflator that has a shape of a "gun" it has a removable battery similar to the one used in drills, you can use it wirelessly or plug it to the cigarette lighter. I have one similar to this and I'm happy with it
This is why I bought the one with a cigarette lighter cable 😂 Maybe a bit inconvenience, but it lasts really long using it for years. Battery can go bad overtime. There is no need to worry about that with cable one 😂
As someone who runs an automotive shop with a commercial air compressor that runs about 160 PSI, I laugh at these pitiful little compressors taking 8 minutes to air up a tire.
Now I am happy that I bought a 12V dual pump for my car with a rather long cord, it is quite noisy but it pumps quickly with a build in light, nice.
This video just left me with the impression that all battery pumps are useless no matter brand
as myself has bought many tire inflator, i can tell xiaomi air pump 2 pro is the best tire inflator in this moment. [cons are that air pump a little bit huge then the other tire inflators but acceptable.]
Can NEVER trust reviews in Amazon. Amazon has gone to hell over the past 6 years
I don't understand why people even buy these inflators. To inflate car tires efficiently, the inflator should have a good size cylinder, and none of these little ones have. There are good 12V inflators costing around $30. I always carry one in the trunk of my car. These little rechargeable ones offer no advantage.
Yeah, if you need one of these you already have a tandem no power and no air problem lol
I bought one of those inflators for $35 & I'm happy with it. It helped me when I needed it for what it does. I had to buy a USB 3.0 charger & cable to charge it. It needs a 5 minute cool down after 15 minutes of inflating which gets it to pump in about 12 psi each time. It can charge off the lighter socket but it needs a long charge time that way.
If you're looking for one I reccomend Mophie. It's a tire inflator, jump starter (started my completely dead 5.7l V8 on my Silverado like it was a V4) is a power bank with USB ports and has a white and red flash light with an SOS mode. Had it for over a year and 0 issues. Battery lasts me almost a week when I use it several hours a day with the power bank. Also I'm confident it can eaily fill all r tires from flat and comes with a window breaker and other air pump tips to fills balls and such. Got mine for $70
I knew ir. It was a sponsored video. But honestly, the test you did was convincing.
