I've been looking for a good electric tyre pump for use at home.  I've got three motor vehicles and six push bikes which all need tyres inflated from time to time.  All I've currently got is crappy 12v mini compressor that over heats after a minute or two.  I have to power it using a battery charger which is annoying.  For the pushies I use a manual bike pump, but with that many pushies it's a lot of work.

I need an electric pump that I can power from 240v, would be nice to have 12v option as well.  It must be reasonably small.  I used to have a full on compressor which was great but too much work getting it out for just tryres.  Also, it must be able to do a decent amount of work, unlike the crappy one I've got now.  What do people recommend?

I've been looking at this cordless unit below, it looks good, but not sure it would be powerful enough.  Cordless would be good but I'm concerned they'd run out of juice after a couple of tyres:

Harley does one which connects to the battery trickle charger connection - seems a reasonable price .. https://shop.frasermotorcycles.com.au/products/harley-davidson-compact-air-compressor-with-light-12700020

If price is not an issue, and you want a decent unit ( edit : maybe not so decent after reading reviews !) , I would look at something like this :

The other option is to buy a heavy duty 4wd style 12v compressor and use a 12v jump starter pack, or a used bike battery !
Any good quality unit won't be cheap.

Bugger, I was hoping for some clear recommendations on this one too.  I'd like a good pump for home, but I want something that's accurate.

I've got an Ironman 4x4 tyre compressor that I use for my dual cab ute and for the bikes.

I paid about $170 (for the lower volume one).

I reckon a fair dinkum 240 volt compressor that'll do 12CFM+ is hard to beat.
They are just so handy. Pump up any tyres, clean shit outa anything, even with a bit of practice and a reasonable spray gun you can paint like a pro.
A must for the home workshop.
Y'outa be able to find a second hand one easy enough.

If your interested I attached the Choice review on them.

Aldi has a compressor on sale this week

Ended up buying this unit from that well known hardware store:

https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-1100w-inflate-it-compressor-kit_p6290319

After trying it out, it's great.  For a relatively cheap unit it's fairly well built.  Has a decent sized air hose, with a proper air tool connector.  Comes with a tyre inflation tool with gauge and some other useful air attachments.  Delivers a decent amount of air and is 240v only, but that's mainly what I need.  It's pretty loud and noise is continuous when turned on but aside from that it does the job well.  The shape of it is good, just right for putting against a garage wall without taking up much space.  Warranty is good too 3 years.

Looking at this one for me.
