Portronics Vayu 7.0 tyre inflator: Performance
The Portronics Vayu 7.0 tyre inflator comes with four different inflation modes. The modes come with presets and an auto shut-off function. In Car mode, the pre-set air pressure is 36 PSI, which is 32 PSI for Motorcycle mode. The Bicycle mode comes with a 0-70 PSI preset, while the Sports ball comes with an 8 PSI preset. There is a custom mode as well that allows the user to set the air pressure level between 0-150 PSI.
The Portronics Vayu 7.0 tyre inflator claims to come with an air flow of 4-5 PSI per minute. We tried to inflate the car tyre to 36 PSI. To reach 36 PSI from 22 PSI, it took the Portronics Vayu 7.0 tyre inflator about six minutes, though. However, we didn't try the other modes. Also, we tested the LED flashlight's performance in a totally dark environment, and it performed pretty well, illuminating the engine bay area of the car.
