How benchmarksutra rates tyre inflators: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Tyre Inflator Score rates 14 tyre inflators sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 16 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 16 November 2026). We did not test these tyre inflators ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Tyre Inflator Score works.
What we rate
Airflow. Airflow the maker states, in litres a minute: 5 rates 0, 40 rates 100. More air per minute fills a tyre faster. Every inflator has an airflow figure, so a maker that does not state it scores zero here.
Battery capacity. Battery capacity the maker states, for battery and dual-power models: 6,000 mAh rates 100, 3,000 mAh 50. Corded-only models have no battery, so this row does not apply to them.
Power cord length. Length of the 12V power cord the maker states, for corded and dual-power models: 4 m rates 100, 3 m 75. Battery-only models have no cord, so this row does not apply to them.
Features. Features the maker lists, 20 points each: auto shut-off at a preset pressure, a digital pressure display, an LED light, a USB power-bank output and a mains (230V) plug.
Warranty. Warranty stated on the maker's product page: 1 year rates 50, 2 years 100.
Price. Lowest price we found, against the cheapest inflator of the same type (corded, cordless or dual power).
Buyer profiles

What we checked
We read each maker's own product page for airflow, maximum pressure, battery capacity, cord length, the listed features and the warranty. Retail listings are used only for the price and the buy link, and only where the listing names the exact model. Where a maker page does not state a rated item, that row scores zero; we never guess. Maximum pressure is shown but not scored, because every inflator here reaches 150 psi, far above the 30 to 40 psi a car tyre needs.
Three types, compared like with like
Corded inflators run from the car's 12V socket (the AGARO TI2157 also takes a mains plug), cordless ones run on their own battery, and dual-power ones do both. The price row compares each inflator only with the cheapest of its own type, the battery row applies only to models with a battery and the cord row only to models with a cord. Airflow applies to all of them.
What we do not rate
Real inflation time, noise, gauge accuracy and how long the motor can run before it needs to cool need tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results. Where a maker quotes an inflation time, we repeat it in the product note as the maker's claim. Qubo's product pages refused our requests on the day we checked and Bergmann has no product page with specifications, so neither brand is ranked.
Price vs score

What the score does not measure
Real time to fill a tyre.
Noise.
Accuracy of the pressure gauge.
How long the motor runs before it needs to rest.
What we left out, and why
Reason | Products |
|---|---|
Qubo's product pages refused our requests (rate limit) on 16 November, so we could not read its specs. We did not get round the limit. | 2 |
We found no Bergmann product page with its specifications, only reseller listings, so there is nothing maker-stated to score. | 1 |
