Have a look on Google for reviews, the same couple come up trumps in all the reviews

The secret of search engines, that only hand full of people seem to understand what they are for?

Ring RAC610. cheap and very much up to the job. Keep one in the boot, it's fairly compact.

Have the Ring RAC635 myself and it's great. Worth every penny.

Looks good, it will be nice to set the pressure and just let it go. When i had to use my current one for my space saver it took ages to get to 60psi.

Ive got one and while its a nice unit, and its nice to have a set & forget digital pressure target rather than having to watch it, i do find its pressure regulation to be inaccurate by several PSI if you manually check it afterwards.

Annoying, but a reasonable pump all the same.
