I finalised the TUSA Digital Car Tyre Inflator, which exactly reaches the front left wheel with ease. |
How has been your experience with TUSA, I'm considering A6 model. Quote:

Can you share how is it performing now, I'm considering for XUV700. Quote:

Any issues observed during the usage till now, please share. Quote:

Please share your experience - how's the performance been? Quote:

However from day one the buttons to adjust the set pressure and to change PSI to Bar to .. don't work properly. In fact I had ordered on Amazon so after using the first time, I returned it for another piece. This also has the same issue. |
Whats your review on Michelin one, is it holding up well ? Quote:

I heard that customer support is nice for Tusa products. |
Is there a customer support number which you received, would like to try connecting with them before purchase. The website number is not reachable. Quote:

Any thoughts on 85 vs 87 vs 88. 88P is the most powerful as per SwastikFabs. Quote:

Do you have a customer care number for TUSA, if yes - please share. Considering their A6 model due to 30 mins operation time.
Based on suggestions received here and some more digging, here's the latest on the tyre inflator search. Click on image for clearer text.
Now, considering features and reviews, - I feel TUSA A6 is best out of the lot, but I casually tried reaching out for warranty and the number(18003137375) not reachable, if anyone has purchased a TUSA product and has received a customer care number, please share - can try connecting to them.
- Next, I looked at Michelin since its a well reputed brand, there's one review on Amazon which says this is the best product with all good quality stuff etc but warranty reviews are quite bad on Amazon so not sure. Also, max continuous operating time of 10 mins is not great.
- Based on suggestion by BHPian Sommos, started looking at VIAIR 87P, and this turned out to be very reliable and powerful, just that it doesn't have auto stop etc features, also an analogue pressure guage. Not sure if I can fill bicycle tyres etc with this. But this comes as strongly recommended and sells in matured markets like US. When I called up SwastikFab they recommeded going for 88P as its more powerful and fills air quickly. The only negative point about VIAIR is high price. But, the person on call was super confident saying this is a lifetime product and he hasn't done a single replacement till date. Probably this will last much longer and hence cover up the price of 2 such inflators which I may end up buying in the same time period. I am strongly considering 87P/88P - how long does it take for 87P to fill a tyre from 20 psi to 33 psi ?
- The Bergmann is still in the list as lot if BHPians have reviewed it and its the best value for money.
There's so much information and variety available for a simple device like Tyre Inflator, I'm going into Analysis-Paralysis mode |
