Michelin programmable rapid tyre inflator

Product Information

I have two of these, michelin 12266 tyre inflators, the first one bought in 2019, and the second in 2021, both are working flawlessly. Only issue with the first one is that the preset buttons don’t work on the first go, you have to press and hold the (-) button to make them work. But it doesn’t bother me much as I keep it in my Diesel Creta, and maintain same pressure of 35psi in all four tyres, and once set at a value, it remains there, even after switching off. The one bought in 2021 works fine, kept in the Ignis, where front and rear pressure value is different. Overall satisfied with the product. For the Safari I sold my 12V 120W one, and got a 25A inflator which ran using battery clamps directly connected to battery. The inflator is well-built and feels sturdy. The finish of the product is also top-notch with no rough edges anywhere. The switches are decently sized and are easy to press. The quality of the air hose is fine too. Features

Doesn't match tyre pressures with other products. I also bought Michellin's tyre pressure gauge. But alas, the pressure shown by the inflator and pressure gauge is never the same. The Michelin inflator is very popular but isn't the best out there. It cannot handle large SUV's and it's basically low quality chinese with Michelin badge.The 10 ft long power cord and the 2 ft long air hose ensure that the inflator can easily reach any tyre of the car: I have been using this product for the last 6 to 7 years (at least) and every time it works like a charm. Very user-friendly and compact to store. Inflates 10 psi to 36 psi in a couple of mins (just used it yesterday on my Alto). Like all portable tyre inflators, the Michelin inflator makes an irritating noise while operating. This is particularly disturbing if your surroundings are quiet. That said, it is not as loud as some of the cheaper inflators. Again, while it does vibrate, it does not dance around as much as the cheaper inflators. Even after inflating all four tyres of the car on a hot November afternoon, the inflator did not heat up.

However the +/- buttons don't work reliably and also the button to change kPa, PSI and Bar. This is something I faced from day 1. Turn the key to "accessory" mode and the display screen comes alive. Now use the "+" and "-" buttons to pre-set the desired tyre pressure and press the yellow ON/OFF switch. The inflator immediately starts pumping up the tyre. Once the pre-set pressure is reached, the inflator switches off on its own. Once done, unscrew the nozzle from the valve. Our standard dispatch times are 1-2 days.

I usually put one PSI extra to be sure (and to compensate for the ight air loss when it's being unscrewed from the tyre valve. While the Michelin tyre inflator is one of the best available in the market, it has some negatives as well. For a start, Michelin says that this inflator should not be used to inflate space saver tyres.A tyre inflator is one of the most important gadgets you could buy for your car. It is especially useful while touring when you might not be able to find a working air pump. Also remember, the best time to inflate your car's tyres is in the morning when they are cold. A good tyre inflator will help you maintain the proper air pressure as you don't need to drive to a pump every time. Various companies make these and among them, Michelin is a trusted name. The French company is well known for its quality products and the 'Programmable Fast Flow Digital Tyre Inflator 12266' that we are reviewing is no exception. It doesn't allow you to preset the air pressure you want, which means you have to manually monitor it and turn it off when desired values are reached. [Or I have not learned how to use this feature]
