As an automotive journalist for over a decade, I enjoyed some pretty great perks — like driving a new test car home every night. That also meant my car sat in the garage with my tires slowly deflating. Then I realized, instead of spending my lunch break filling up my tires, I could get a tire inflator — like this Dormzie portable tire inflator, on sale for just $40 during Amazon's Spring Sale.
Need to inflate bike tires, car tires or balls? There's a preset for that.

Why is this a good deal? 💰
Marked down from $200 to just $40 (that's 80% off!) for Prime members with the on-page code, this cordless tire inflator is a no-brainer — especially if you've ever been stranded with a flat. It's compact, rechargeable and powerful enough to top off car, bike and even motorcycle tires. Forget heading to the gas station or finding a power outlet.
Why do I need this? 🤔
There's never a good time for a flat tire, but they always seem to happen at the absolute worst moment. That's where the portability of this tire inflator shines. It doesn't take up much room and, once you've charged the battery, it's ready to go whenever you need it. The built-in nozzle and hose storage will also keep everything organized when it isn't in use.
It's also fast, so you won't be waiting around forever for your tires to be filled, whether you drive a motorcycle, small car or a truck. It can also pump out an impressive amount of air pressure — up to 150 PSI — and comes with valves for your bikes, an inflator nozzle for everything from pool toys to rafts, and a needle for all of the balls in your garage.
Going on a road trip and need to pack up before you leave? The Dormzie has an auto shut-off, allowing you to walk away while it's working. It features five PSI memory presets — including one you can customize — so you won't have to reset the shut-off pressure every time you switch between your car, bike or basketball.
Keeping those tires at the perfect pressure just got a heck of a lot easier. (Getty)
What reviewers say 💬
Over 200 reviewers have given this inflator a five-star rating.
Pros 👍
Portability was a huge draw for a lot of happy customers, including this cyclist: "I purchased this great little tire inflator to use on my bikes. It is lightweight and easy to use. It fits into my bike bag that sits on the rear of my bike. It worked like a charm the first time and only took a few seconds! I was pleasantly surprised [by] how easy it is to use."
"This is perfect! I have a slow leak in one of my tires and now I don't have to go to a pay-for-air machine to fill it up when needed!" marveled a five-star motorist. "I did it right in the convenience of my garage! It's quick, accurate and inflates perfectly. We didn't have to charge it between cars and it still has lots of battery life on it."
One reviewer bought this even when they already had an air compressor in their garage because it was so portable. "I do have an air compressor in my garage, but this battery-operated inflator makes putting air into vehicle tires so much easier and much more convenient! No more pulling/dragging an air hose to fill tires."
Cons 👎
This item is so new, it doesn't have too many negative reviews. One buyer found that it "didn't easily fit between bicycle spokes," though others have used it on their bikes without issue.
Another five-star reviewer talked about the volume being the only downside. "It's not quiet, but not a problem unless you're in a house and everyone is sleeping and you're trying to fill up an air mattress (which this could do with all the attachments)."
Already have an air compressor at home? The portability of this inflator may still win you over. Stick it in your car, truck or bike bag and take it with you wherever you go.
