Auto Express have published their review of twelve mini air compressors. 'Top of our mini compressor wishlist was an accurate, easy-to-read gauge - nobody wants to have to pay for a separate one, and then keep switching between the two. We tested each product against a certified gauge at 20psi and 30psi. Next, we measured how much pressure was added to a 14-inch tyre in one minute's running. We also looked for user-friendly accessory storage. Cable and air line length were taken into account, as were power switches, adaptors, build, plus cost.'

They usually come in big five-litre packs, and represent better value than just filling the washer reservoir with standard car shampoo.'
