Indian smart gadget maker, Portronics has launched the Vayu 3.0, a one-of-a-kind portable tyre inflator for vehicle owners. The device can refill objects to up to 150 PSI pressure, enabling owners to use it on their car, motorcycle, bicycle tyres and balls, as well as sports gear like footballs, basketballs and volleyballs. Its compact form factor and built-in 4000mAh rechargeable battery makes it an ideal companion for contingencies when there is no petrol pump in the vicinity.
This Vayu 3.0 is super convenient in high-pressure situations, like a deflated tyre in the middle of nowhere. Users do not have to be ace auto mechanics to operate it either. Its cordless design and intuitive interface can be mastered by non-technical folk as well.
An LED display provides clear and precise readings, and an automatic pressure detection feature provides accurate tyre pressure readings. Once the desired pressure levels are entered on the device, the built-in air compressor starts pumping air into the tyre and shuts offs automatically when the internal pressure reaches the desired value. The Vayu 3.0 also lets users choose from preset modes—car, bike, bicycle, ball—to fill the air to a fixed pressure with minimum steps.
The Vayu 3.0 comes with many nozzles of different sizes, shapes and functions—for greater compatibility—and is a Presta Valve adapter-enabled model. The inflator is powerful enough to refill a tyre in less than 10 minutes and the battery capacity is enough to refill all four car tyres before needing to be recharged. It also includes a powerful LED flashlight that comes in handy when inflating a tyre in poor light or while navigating in the darkness to tend to the problem. The Vayu 3.0’s 4000mAh battery can be recharged via its standard USB Type-C port.
The Portronics Vayu 3.0 is available at an introductory price of Rs. 2099 on the company's official website, backed by a 12-month warranty. It is also available on Amazon.in, Flipkart.com, and other leading online and offline stores.
