Portronics has added a new utility device to its accessory lineup in India. The Vayu Hybrid is a 4-in-1 air pump that operates as a tire inflator, a high-volume air pump, a deflator, and an emergency light. The device is built to be kept in a car trunk or a garage, providing a single tool for managing air pressure in tires and inflating household or camping items.

Portronics Vayu Hybrid Specifications

The inflator supports two power sources, giving users more flexibility depending on where it is being used. It can draw power from a vehicle’s 12V DC socket while on the road or connect to a standard AC wall outlet at home. The AC option is particularly useful in a garage or driveway, while the 12V connection makes the inflator practical for roadside use and longer trips.

Internally, the device uses a dual-motor configuration that reaches a maximum pressure of 150 PSI. This is enough pressure to fill standard car and motorcycle tires, as well as bicycle tires and sports balls. To manage this, the front of the unit has a digital LED display that shows the current pressure.

Portronics offers preset modes for different vehicles and equipment, along with a custom mode for manually setting the pressure. To use the inflator, connect the valve, select the desired pressure on the display, and start the pump. The auto shut-off feature stops inflation once the target pressure is reached, helping prevent over-inflation without requiring constant monitoring.

Aside from tires, the Vayu Hybrid has separate modes for high-volume inflation and deflation. This is intended for low-pressure, high-capacity items like air mattresses, pool floats, and vacuum storage bags.

Instead of forcing air through a narrow high-pressure valve, these modes move a larger volume of air quickly. The device also includes an LED light for visibility at night, which can be switched to a flashing SOS mode if you are stopped on the side of the road.

Pricing and Availability

The Vayu Hybrid is available now in India. It has a listed maximum retail price of Rs. 7,999 ($84), but it is currently selling for Rs. 4,499 ($48). It comes with a 12-month warranty and can be purchased from the Portronics website, Amazon India, Flipkart, and physical retail stores.

In related news, Portronics has recently launched a camera-style 20,000mAh power bank with 15W Qi2 wireless charging and a built-in cable.

Portronics just released a new portable tire inflator called the Vayu Nano, and its main appeal is simply how small it is. If you commute on a bicycle or a motorcycle, you already know that carrying a standard air pump isn’t really an option, and even most portable electric inflators take up too much space in a backpack. The Vayu Nano is designed to get around that exact problem.

Portronics Vayu Nano Specifications

Weighing 185 grams, which is roughly the same weight as an average smartphone, the inflator is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, a small bag, or a scooter’s storage compartment. It has a basic matte-black finish and comes with a short 7.5cm air hose. It’s clearly not meant for inflating car tires from scratch, but for two-wheelers and minor top-ups, it covers the basics.

Internally, the Vayu Nano can push up to 120 PSI. Portronics says that’s enough to handle motorcycles (which usually need around 45 PSI), bicycles (around 35 PSI), and standard sports balls. As for speed, the company says it can fill a tire from 0 to 35 PSI in just under five minutes. It’s not exceptionally fast compared to a garage compressor, but for a roadside fix when your tire is looking a little flat, it gets the job done.

The interface is pretty straightforward. There’s a digital display that shows your current tire pressure in either PSI or BAR, along with a battery indicator. It includes a few preset modes for different types of inflatables, plus a manual custom setting. It also features an auto shut-off function, meaning you can dial in your target pressure, turn it on, and it will stop automatically once it hits that number, so you don’t over-inflate anything.

The inflator runs on a dual 600mAh battery setup and charges via USB-C, so you can just use your existing phone charger or a power bank to top it up. There’s also a built-in LED light with an SOS mode, which is a standard but necessary feature if you ever need to find a valve stem in the dark.

Pricing and Availability

The Vayu Nano has an official MRP of ₹4,999, but Portronics is currently selling it at a launch price of ₹2,999. It comes with a 12-month warranty and is available now on the company’s website, as well as Amazon India, Flipkart, and standard offline stores.

In related news, Portronics recently introduced a new laptop stand with a built-in 6-in-1 USB hub and mobile holder, alongside the Strings smart speaker that also works as an alarm clock and wireless charger.

Xiaomi has introduced the Mijia Portable Inflator, a compact and lightweight air pump designed for a wide range of inflation needs. The product is now listed on Xiaomi Youpin and will be available for crowdfunding pre-orders starting September 15 at a launch price of 159 yuan ($22).

Xiaomi Mijia Portable Inflator Specifications

The inflator features a high-precision cast alloy cylinder capable of delivering up to 150psi air pressure. It can inflate bicycle tires, motorcycle tires, car tires, and sports balls. Xiaomi has reduced the device’s weight to 240 grams, which is approximately 50% lighter than the Mijia Air Pump 2, making it easier to carry during travel.

Xiaomi has equipped the device with a 2000mAh lithium-ion battery. This battery allows the inflator to fully inflate up to eight empty bicycle tires or top up electric scooter tires up to 43 times on a single charge. The inflator uses a brushless motor to ensure consistent pressure output while minimizing heat buildup during extended use. It also includes thermal protection to maintain safe operation in outdoor environments.

The Mijia Portable Inflator comes with multiple preset modes for bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, balls, and cars. It also supports a custom mode where users can manually adjust the pressure between 0.2 and 10.3 bar or 3 to 150psi. Once the target pressure is reached, the inflator automatically shuts off to prevent over-inflation.

The device includes an LCD display with a micro-border design. It shows real-time tire pressure and remaining battery life. The system performs automatic pressure calibration during startup and provides ±1psi pressure detection accuracy, even at high altitudes.

The inflator includes an LED flashlight designed for nighttime use and emergencies, with both standard white light and SOS flashing modes. It comes with adapters for French and American air valves, a needle nozzle for inflating sports equipment, and a dedicated carrying pouch with an inner pocket for convenient storage.

The device features a matte IML-coated finish for scratch resistance and a minimalist look. It takes about 60 seconds to inflate a bicycle tire and around 105 seconds to top up a car tire from 2.0 to 2.5 bar.

In related news, Xiaomi recently unveiled a toothbrush with a built-in screen and 180-day battery life, and also introduced the Mijia Brushless Drill 2 with 1700 RPM speed and 50N·m torque.

The post Portronics Launches Vayu 7.0: Tyre Inflation, Power Bank, and SOS Flashlight Rolled Into One appeared first on Gizmochina.

After making a big impact with their high-end X8 Apex Air inflator, the young brand Fanttik has launched another tyre inflator in the series, the entry-level X8 Air inflator. The company seems to have adopted some consumer suggestions and redesigned the air inflator to be more portable and easier to use. 

The new X8 reserved power inflation and many of the same features as the premium X8 Apex but surprisingly at a lower price point. 

Compared to the X8 Apex, the X8 air inflator is even more compact and well-built. It inherits the design style of the X8 Apex. The X8 is divided into two parts on the front: the upper part of the LED panel showing the battery level, air pressure, and inflating modes, and the lower part retains exactly the same control buttons as the X8 Apex.

As it is comparable in size to a power bank, it can not only be a useful tool in your car trunk, but even can be a portable emergency tool in your pocket. The 5.5-inch x 3.35-inch x 1.7-inch unit just redefined our view of a full-functioned air inflator.

Like the X8 Apex, the new X8 packaging also includes an air tube with different valve adaptors for inflating cars, motorcycles, bicycles and balls. And thanks to the high-performance chip and 150psi high-pressure capacity, the inflating speed achieves up to 15L/min for different inflating demands. Although we didn’t inflate everything mentioned in their promotion, it seems the impressive maximum pressure of 150psi could cover most stuffs in daily life. 

In the actual test, it could fully inflate a motorcycle tire in just around 2 mins. 

With the 5200mAh battery, it supports inflating more than 2 standard car tires from 0-100%, or more than 4 motorcycle tires or 7 bicycle tires, or 26 basketballs in each full charge.  

To make it easy to use for novices, the X8 also comes with four smart modes – Car, Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Ball with typical preset pressure. Or if you knew the exact pressure you want in the tire, the manual mode would be a better option for you. Once you choose the right adaptor with the preset readout or the mode you want, just press the power button and the inflation will be done quickly. 

One of the biggest problems of compact air inflators is poor accuracy, but the X8 seems to fix it well for professional use. Fanttik claims that the current and target pressure readouts are shown on the LED screen with ±1psi accuracy. When you need your tires to be safe to run on a specific road, the good accuracy won’t disappoint you. 

Now if you’re still confused about buying the X8 or X8 Apex, here are my suggestions. Compared to the X8 Apex, the compact X8 costs less but has a smaller battery capacity with a slower inflation speed (X8 Apex: 7800mAh+32L/min). And it cannot charge other devices acting as a power bank, since the single USB-C port doesn’t support power out. On the other hand, the X8 is upgraded with built-in flashlights on the top, which are much brighter and more useful as a hand torch for emergency use. So if you’re satisfied with the changes in details, the cheaper X8 could be a better option. 

But it has the same problem as we experienced on the X8 Apex, which is the noise. Although not as loud as the X8 Apex, it’s still a bit loud during working. Again, I would still suggest avoid using it at places and times when you need to be quiet. But if you’ve used other traditional inflation devices and compare it with them, the noise is quite bearable.   

To conclude, the X8 air inflator retains almost all the important features inside its compact body. As a simplified model in the X8 series, it does the job well, and more importantly, offers a cheaper option for those who require the basic features from an air inflator. It will be a useful tool and excellent companion for people on their driving or riding journeys. And even if most of you, just like me, don’t hit the road often, it would still be a reliable tool in the garage and one day it will come in handy.
