Power

Rated power consumed by the compressor during operation.

This parameter primarily affects the features of connecting the unit to the on-board network through the cigarette lighter socket. Such a socket has restrictions on load power, and these restrictions are different for different cars; and even in the same car, different connectors — the cigarette lighter itself and a separate socket of the same format — can differ in allowable power. However, most of these connectors can easily cope with units with a power of up to 100 – 120 W; but if you get a more powerful compressor, you should clarify the possibility of using it with a specific cigarette lighter (the easiest way to do this is according to the documentation for the car). If the device is planned to be powered through "crocodiles" or from a 230 V socket (see "Connection"), you can not pay much attention to the power consumption.

Also, more powerful compressors, usually, have a greater capacity and/or maximum pressure, but there is no strict relationship here.

Hose length

The length of the hose through which air is pumped into the tyre. The larger it is, the more convenient the device is to use. But it is rare that the compressor is left far from the wheel, especially if a pressure gauge is placed on the device, which must be periodically checked. For domestic use in cars, a one and a half metre long hose is enough. Powerful and performant models can be equipped with a hose of 7 metres or more, but these are more solutions for commercial use in car services.

Lamp

The model is additionally equipped with a flashlight to illuminate the work area in the dark. A very useful feature, especially for small, portable compressors for cars — can help out if you need to pump up the wheel at night in the middle of the road. Depending on the modification, the lamp can support various modes of operation — constant light, flashing mode, SOS signal (see the description of each individual compressor model). The design may also differ — the flashlight can be built-in or removable.
