TOP-5 compressors for cars! Autocompressor rating 2021!

Now it is difficult to imagine a motorist without a portable car compressor in the trunk. Often, the problem with a punctured wheel happens outside the city, when it is very far to the nearest tire service. In this case, an auto compressor comes in handy.

Almost all models have a built-in pressure gauge that is either mounted on the body or on the air hose. This device is designed to measure pressure. There are two types of pressure gauges - pointer and digital. The dials indicate the bar and psi measurement scales. The digital ones have a display that shows data in bar, psi and kPa. Most often, compressors with a digital pressure gauge have an automatic shutdown function.

Before purchasing a compressor, study its characteristics carefully. An important parameter is the performance, as well as the maximum pressure and type of feed.

Performance indicates the amount of air that is pumped into the tire in one minute. Most often, this parameter is indicated in l/min. A wide variety of models with a capacity from 30 to 160 l/min are presented on the Ukrainian market. Therefore, you can easily select a compressor depending on which technique you will use it for.

Compressors can be powered from either the cigarette lighter or the battery using special terminals.

Also pay attention to the length of the power cable. If you find yourself in an unforeseen situation, you may find that it will not work to inflate the rear wheel due to a short power cable or hose.

Most manufacturers supply compressors with additional adapters. With their help, you can easily inflate a rubber mattress, boat or ball.
