Can you recommend a car tyre inflator?

it's for my almost 80 year old mother.

Plug in ideally rather than rechargeable.
Can pre-set the pressure so she doesn't need to faff with that
Simple with an obvious on switch and auto off
Ideally less than £30

TIA :smile:

Think mine is a Halfords one and has been good. But setting the target pressure takes a bit of thinking and the front/rear tyres are different pressures, so not entirely straight forward.

Mine is from Halfords as well. Digital gauge and runs off the 12 v battery. Once it was set up it remembers the pressure so just have to place the hose over the valve and push start. I’m lucky that front and back are the same pressure. Mine was about £25 but they seem to have gone up now based on a quick scan of the Halfords site.

Thanks guys. I've been looking at a couple from Halfords. Only one under £50 has an auto shut off but it also has dozens of reviews saying it keeps blowing fuses... which isn't a good sign. A lot of the cheaper ones also seem to have a screw on hose instead of the cam lever. I think mum would get on easier with a levered connector.
