I’m probably one of the few people that can go back into the 1980’s and say that even back then, I had an emergency tire inflator in my car. It started as a way to adjust my tire pressures for Auto crossing (timed car racing in parking lots), but it quickly evolved into a way to avoid changing flat tires and avoid calls to AAA in the middle of the night.
Jump forward all these years, and yes I still have that same tire inflator in my car… but that’s about to change. I’m excited to bring you a peek at a new inflation device hitting the market and heading to my car. The device is called the Ventus Pro from Woowind and I’m happy to say this inflation device has some great features that differentiate it from my previous device.
Key Features:
- 2x Faster Inflation (approx. 24L/min): Inflate tires in as little as 1 minute (compared to the Woowind LP1 and other similar products)
- 2x More Powerful: Effortlessly handles larger tires with increased inflation power
- Premium Design: A sleek, durable aluminum build with high-end finishes
- Easy to Use: Intuitive controls with 5 preset modes and a longer air tube optimized for motorcycles and bikes tire inflation
- Emergency Ready: The only portable pump compatible with Woowind’s sealant emergency kit (available April 2025) for fast tire puncture repairs
- Improved Battery: +20% battery power for extended use
- Continuous Power: A 10-ft car plug cable
- Versatility: Includes different adaptors such as a Presta Valve, Dunlop Valve, Swimming Ring Nozzle, Ball Needle and a flexible air hose.
I wash and work on my car every Friday evening, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to drag out my old inflator, plug in the 12V accessory cable, route the wire to the specific tire that needs air and wait forever while it slowly inflates. I’m happy to say that process ends today.
The Ventus Pro is rechargeable via USBC, so pulling it out and immediately connecting it to the tie without running a cord makes for really easy inflation. Add in that the Ventus Pro does about 24L/minute of air and you’ll see that the Ventus is much more convenient and much faster at inflating tires. My topping off of about 5-pounds of air normally takes about 3 minutes on my old inflation device. With the Ventus Pro, this inflation took less than 1-minute AND the Ventus automatically shuts off when it reaches the desired pressure.
If that’s not enough to convince you to buy the Ventus, add in that the Ventus Pro has a built in flashlight, a rechargeable battery, an emergency 12V cord, a size that makes it easy to use and easy to store and even 5 presets for even easier inflation and you have a winning device that everyone can easily use.
The Ventus Pro weighs 500g, it has a pressure range of 2-150 PSI and it comes with all of the accessories you’ll need to store the Ventus and inflate tires, air mattresses, sports balls and lots more (carry sack, air hose, USBC cable, 12V cord, sports and specific tips).
I tested Ventus Pro on my car tires and I’m happy to report the process was quick, convenient and easy. I added roughly 5-pounds of air and it took about 40-seconds. Next up, I inflated my wheelbarrow tire and two of my mountain bike tires in quick order and everything inflated quickly and reliably.
The Ventus Pro stores in a small space and is ready to use when you need it. The display shows air pressure, preset buttons for different things like car tires, motorcycle ties, bicycle tires and even sports ball inflation. The bright display also has a battery indicator and an easy quick dial controller so it’s also intuitive to use.
As a final test, I deflated a car tire completely to see how long it would take to inflate, and I’m happy to report that from 0 to 46-PSI took about 2-minutes and 10-seconds and the battery did just fine. Woowind reports that you can inflate up to 8 car tires or 10 motorcycle tires or 12 bicycle tires on one charge - and based on my experience, I’d say this is pretty accurate.
Overall I’d say that the Woowind Ventus Pro has now found a permanent place in my car replacing the older, heavier and larger inflation devices I previously used. The Ventus Pro can not only inflate your basketball, but also save you from a flat tire on the side of the road on a dark night. I tested all sorts of inflation from cars to bicycles and even a camping air mattress and in every case, the process was easy and fast.
The Woowind Ventus Pro is available now for $79.99 so be sure to get out there and try it for yourself…and when you do try it, be sure to let us know what YOU think. zzubreebym
