The air conditioning of Russian roads, climate features and the growing popularity of road travel have made portable car compressors an indispensable accessory for every car owner. Recently, the demand for such devices in Russia is growing rapidly, and experts note a steady trend towards increased attention to the quality and functionality of models.

Portable compressor is a compact device designed to inflate car tires in case of their flat or sharp decrease in pressure, especially in winter. As you know, when the temperature drops, the tire pressure decreases by 0.07 atmospheres for every 10 degrees Celsius, which can lead to emergency situations, deterioration of handling and increased wear of tires.

Many modern models of compressors have a built-in digital pressure gauge, automatic shutdown when the preset pressure is reached, as well as support for various nozzles that allow them to be used not only for tires, but also for bicycles, balls, inflatable mattresses and other household needs.

"With the arrival of winter, the number of calls to tire workshops about unstable tire pressure doubles," Dmitry Pavlov, a technical specialist at one of the Moscow car service centers, shares the observation. - "But if there is a good portable compressor in the trunk, this problem can be solved in a matter of minutes independently, without resorting to the help of specialists."

Consumers note that models with lithium-ion batteries and built-in lights are in greatest demand - they are ideal for use in the dark and on the road. It is also important to choose devices with overheating and overload protection, which increases the life of the device and makes its operation safer.

Experts recommend that before buying pay attention to the power of the compressor, the noise level during operation, the availability of adapters and the length of the power cord - ease of use depends on these parameters. The average price of a high-quality device in the Russian market varies from 3,000 to 6,000 rubles, depending on the functions and brand.
