With its Portable Electric Air Compressor 2, Xiaomi offers a new version of its portable inflator. Faster than the 1S version, it also gains some other welcome improvements.
The Xiaomi Portable Electric Air Compressor 2 marks a nice evolution compared to the 1S version, already very successful. In addition to being more efficient, it gains some welcome new features, including a longer pipe, but which remains quite short in absolute terms. All it would need is a deflation function and better controlled noise pollution to improve further.
Strong points
- Ease of use.
- Reasonable size and mass.
- USB-C port.
- Fast inflation speeds.
Weak points
- No deflation function.
- Slightly high noise levels.
- Fairly short hose.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices practiced by all merchants for the product last month, with rules of security to exclude prices from shops whose VAT policy is not clear (so-called “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Xiaomi repeats the experience while subtly improving the recipe by making its electric compressor more efficient. Always so easy to use and transport, the Xiaomi Mi Portable Air Pump 1S slips easily into a bag, and even under a motorcycle saddle to cope with all situations, especially since it is faster than previously. Only sporty cyclists and mountain bikers will prefer a small, lighter hand pump.
