Glossary
Performance
The capacity of the compressor (see "Type") is the maximum amount of air that it can pump into the tyre in a minute.
Higher performance reduces the time required to inflate the wheel; on the other hand, this parameter directly affects the dimensions, weight, power consumption and price of the compressor. So it is worth choosing according to performance, taking into account real needs. So, for a “duty” tyre inflation in a passenger car, a compressor with a low operating speed is quite enough — up to 20 L / min inclusive. And if the speed of full pumping is also important for you (for example, after replacing the rubber) — you can choose a unit for 21 – 40 L / min. In turn, models with more solid characteristics — 41 – 60 L / min and more — are intended mainly for heavy equipment like SUVs, trucks, tractors, etc.
Separately, it should be noted that this parameter is NOT suitable for calculating the exact inflation time (even if the exact volume of air in the wheel is known). The fact is that the actual performance of the compressor is always lower than the claimed one: the figures in the characteristics are indicated for free air outlet, and when pumping the wheels, the pumping speed will inevitably be lower due to the resistance of the nipple.

Autostop function
Function that automatically stops operation when a sufficient level of tyre pressure is reached. Usually, the pressure at which the auto-stop is triggered can be set at the discretion of the user.
This function greatly simplifies the work with the pump: the risk of overfilling the tyre is reduced to almost zero, while the user does not need to monitor the pumping process, because the pump will stop at the right time. On the other hand, hitchhiking significantly affects the price. It is found only in electric compressors (see "Type").
