Xiaomi is actively growing its ecosystem of products in India. It recently launched the Mi Toothbrush lineup, Mi Screwdriver, and more Mi-branded products in the country this year. The latest addition to the portfolio, as promised, comes in the form of the Mi Portable Electric Air Compressor. It is essentially a tire inflator air pump that you can lug around quite easily.
At first sight, the Mi Portable Electric Air Compressor looks like a Bluetooth speaker. The device includes a lot of small holes on the side and a lanyard-like loop at the top. This is exactly what gives this tire inflator a speaker-esque vibe. However, that is not the case here. The holes are present onboard for heat dissipation while pumping air into your car, bicycle, or motor bike’s tire. It supports a wide range of nozzles and can be used to inflate footballs as well.
Xiaomi further boasts that the device has a ‘high precision alloy casting’ that creates an air compressor capable of pumping up to 150psi. The highlight of this tire inflator air pump is the 2,000mAh battery pack onboard, which can be juiced up using the microUSB charging port at the bottom. The company further boasts that you inflate a bicycle tire in 3 minutes (8 times in total) and a motorbike or car tire in 6 minutes (5 times in total).
Price and Availability
The Mi Portable Electric Air Compressor has been priced at Rs. 2,299 in India. It is now up for crowdfunding on Xiaomi’s website with a goal of 4,000 units in the next 10 days. You can head to this link to buy this handy tire inflator.
