We're surrounded by things that need air, from basketballs to bike tires, cars and trucks to pool toys and air mattresses. That's why the Woowind Ventus Pro Portable Air Compressor is such a joy; it can bring anything up to a specified air pressure with the push of a button. Tech expert Dave Taylor demonstrates the pump in action with a bicycle, and offers some detailed closeups of the pump display and controls too. It's not just a bunch of hot air!

you'll never have a flat again with this
0:01
portable air compressor let's check it
0:10
out Dave Taylor here and I have cars and
0:14
bicycles and sports gear I have a lot of
0:18
things that need air in them and
0:20
generally that's kind of a pain so this
0:24
is a wonderful solution this is the woo
0:28
wind Ventus Pro portable air compressor
0:32
and it pushes air out from the top and
0:35
it can work with a wide variety of
0:38
different pressure levels so it is
0:40
compatible with swimming Rings it is
0:44
compatible with bicycle tires you can
0:47
pump up a car tire with it there's a lot
0:50
of options and it's all controlled with
0:52
this one button on the front that has
0:55
four sort of button options around the
0:58
edges and then there's that Central
1:00
button so for example let me give you a
1:03
closeup and you can see how you can step
1:06
through all the different functionality
1:08
let me show you how this works first off
1:10
we're going to push the middle and turn
1:12
it
1:15
on and now notice here it has a bicycle
1:19
icon so if I push the lower
1:22
button that's balls sporting
1:26
equipment user setable pressure car
1:31
motorcycle
1:33
bicycle sporting
1:36
equipment user setable pressure and then
1:40
the plus and minus on these sides watch
1:43
the pressure lets me specify exactly
1:47
what I want so maybe I want to get
1:50
8.5 so I'm ready to go there now if I
1:54
push on the top it'll actually change
1:57
the measure so the meter that we're
1:59
using so that's bars of pressure I don't
2:03
really know that
2:05
kPa kilog per cenm squared or what I'm
2:09
used to which is PSI or pounds per
2:11
square inch and 123 is a lot let's get
2:15
that back down to a different
2:21
number and it's that easy to work with
2:24
so let's go back oops let's stay with
2:27
PSI and then I can go back to
2:31
bicycle and so whoops kPa let's go back
2:35
to psi and now bicycle PSI 44 that's a
2:40
lot let's drop that
2:43
down so we'll do 34 PSI the green means
2:48
that the batter is in really good shape
2:50
and we're ready to rock and roll a lot
2:53
of it is about this braided hose of
2:55
course and on the end is a sort of
2:57
typical this is what's known as a Presta
3:00
valve apparently I didn't know that they
3:01
had a name but this is the valve
3:04
connector for bicycles and for car tires
3:08
and such but there are a bunch of
3:11
adapters so you can actually use it for
3:13
five different kinds of valves including
3:16
shraer Dunlop swimming ring and ball
3:20
needle so I could pump up a soccer ball
3:24
I could get that floaty ready for the
3:26
pool but let's go jump into my garage
3:29
and let's check out how this works
3:31
pumping up the tire of a bicycle that
3:34
has had a flat tire for longer than I
3:37
want to would admit let's go it's been a
3:39
while since I've had air in the tire of
3:41
this bicycle so let's see if the woo
3:44
unit can do it so I'm going to push to
3:47
hold that turns it
3:50
on the top button lets me choose what
3:53
metric I want so I'm going to use PSI
3:56
but you can see there are four different
3:58
options
4:00
then the bottom button lets me
4:03
choose what kind of thing I'm inflating
4:06
so car motorcycle bicycle that looks
4:09
good and now here's the valve here's
4:13
this let me get this screwed on to there
4:16
I'll be right back the stem screwed on
4:19
so I'm going to drop the PSI down to
4:22
let's just do it to
4:26
45 so bicycle PSI 45 it's connected all
4:33
I have to do is push the
4:35
button now watch
4:46
there and it's just about done
4:51
already it's giving me the current PSI
4:56
but I feel like 45 might be way too much
5:00
given what it feels like I'm going to
5:02
just push and hold the
5:10
center and let's feel it ooh that is
5:13
very solid I think 45 was way more than
5:16
it needed but I now have a fully
5:19
inflated bike tire and I'm ready to go
5:22
so this is one super convenient device
5:26
now let me jump back on camera it really
5:28
doesn't get much easier than that and I
5:30
have to say I am now fired up to ride my
5:34
bike after a rather a while because now
5:36
the tires are rock solid and I feel like
5:39
it's ready to handle whatever terrain I
5:42
managed to ride on all because this
5:45
really easy to work with now it goes up
5:47
to 150 psi but as you get into really
5:51
high pressure levels then you might want
5:54
to use the 12vt adapter which comes with
5:57
a 10t cable and then you plug it into
6:00
this whoops sorry on this end and it
6:02
gives it just a little more oomph for
6:04
those big high pressure jobs but it can
6:07
obviously work cordlessly it has a 4800
6:10
milliamp battery in it and it does have
6:13
that LED display and there's an
6:16
emergency light let me show you that so
6:19
if we push the top button we can step
6:21
between pressure metric as we saw before
6:25
but if I push and hold
6:27
it then it turns on the eer Merc light
6:30
and if I push it again let's see push
6:32
and hold it
6:34
again then it goes into an emergency
6:37
flashing light and then if I push it
6:41
again goes into a SOS
6:45
light and one more time and oops one
6:49
more
6:50
time and the light is off so that's
6:54
really a nice handy feature if you are
6:57
on in your car and your tire goes flat
7:00
you can use this but while you're maybe
7:02
waiting for someone for service cuz you
7:04
might look at your tire and say oh
7:06
there's a nail in it this is not going
7:08
to solve the problem by itself so you
7:11
can use this for a light but if you can
7:13
just put some air in and make it to the
7:15
service station or something then this
7:17
is obviously an easy thing to have in
7:19
your glove compartment for emergency
7:22
purposes it does have auto shut off so
7:24
if I just leave it in 3 minutes of not
7:27
use it should just automatically turn
7:29
off
7:30
but it will also turn off if it's
7:32
overheating which should never really
7:34
happen but if you're really putting a
7:36
lot of air pressure into something over
7:38
time it does generate some heat as part
7:41
of how the system works you can see it
7:44
has this very nice heavyduty braided
7:47
cable and the top part actually spins so
7:51
what I did as you saw was I screwed it
7:54
into the stem of the bike um inner tube
7:59
and then once it was firmly affixed then
8:02
I used this to Pump It Up and might have
8:05
pumped it up a bit too much because I
8:06
probably should have read the edge of
8:08
the tire or even looked at the inner
8:10
tube itself to see what it wanted as
8:12
maximum pressure but I think we're good
8:15
I'll check it again in the morning
8:16
hopefully won't be a problem but can't
8:19
speak for the inner tube but I can speak
8:20
for this having a 24mon warranty too so
8:25
Dimensions wise it is 1.8 in by 1.8 in
8:29
by 8 in long it is 1.1 lb so it really
8:33
is very light you can see there's
8:36
battery status you plug into the USBC
8:39
here and it actually is colorcoded and
8:42
just let it charge overnight and by the
8:45
time you get up in the morning it'll be
8:47
fully charged and ready to
8:49
go and it comes with adapters for
8:52
different kind of things you might be
8:54
pumping up and a USBC to usba charging
8:58
cable and a a 10t 12vt adapter for your
9:03
car 10 ft to plug into this and where
9:06
that's really this is really great is if
9:09
you pull this out and the batter is dead
9:11
then you're like oh boy we're in trouble
9:14
but no you're not cuz you you have this
9:16
then you plug this in and while it's
9:19
plugged in to your car it will
9:22
immediately be able to work so you can
9:24
just get that air back in the tire and
9:26
get back on the road also comes with a
9:29
user guide which is actually pretty
9:30
handy cuz it has a lot of explanations
9:33
of different button
9:34
sequences and perhaps just as
9:37
importantly it comes with a nice little
9:38
travel bag that's actually big enough
9:41
that you can put everything in the bag
9:43
so it's not one of these where it's
9:45
exactly this size and everything else
9:47
you don't know what to do with the
9:49
travel bag is big enough for everything
9:51
so I got to say this is kind of a game
9:54
changer because this showed up my bike
9:57
is now ready to go and that's fantastic
10:00
and we do some off-roading and something
10:02
like this fully charged in the glove
10:04
compartment with this adapter just in
10:07
case gives us some options if we have a
10:10
flat tire and we're going to put on the
10:11
spare and then we realize the spare is
10:14
low on air we got a solution and that's
10:18
all far far away from any power outlets
10:21
so lots to like here it's a really nice
10:24
piece of engineering and it is metal so
10:27
it does have a really nice build quality
10:29
to it and that's important too oh and
10:31
did you notice it auto powered off
10:33
because I didn't use it for 3 minutes
10:36
how cool is that so really if you have
10:39
anything that needs air even if you're
10:41
just like a sports coach and you're just
10:44
endlessly pumping up soccer balls or
10:46
volleyballs or footballs you can use
10:49
this you can specify the inflation level
10:51
you want and avoid inflate gate with
10:54
your own
10:55
sports bicycle Center one of these would
10:58
be a game changer for people who need to
11:00
put a little more air in their bike
11:01
tires and of course with cars and
11:04
motorcycles so many useful purposes so
11:07
many ways this can be a great addition
11:09
to your kit I am going to ask you to
11:13
subscribe to my channel click or tap on
11:15
that subscribe button hit that Bell icon
11:17
for notifications of my new content give
11:20
me a thumbs up if you found this to be
11:22
of value and I certainly hope that you
11:24
did excellent this is the woo wind
11:28
Ventus Pro portable air compressor and
11:31
it is
11:32
$79.99 at amazon.com honestly there are
11:36
bike pumps that cost more than this and
11:38
they make you do the work so having this
11:41
do all the work is way the heck better
11:44
that's all I got I'm going to go and
11:46
clean up my bike and get it ready for a
11:47
bike ride probably need to oil the chain
11:50
but I am ready to go because this got me
11:53
there so that's what I got hope to catch
11:56
you in my next video
