Xiaomi Mijia Electric Air Pump: I bought it!

Mi Jia Electric Air Pump: Excellent build quality

[HANDS-ON] Mi Jia is the Home Electronics arm of Xiaomi and they are supposedly one of Xiaomi's strategy to buy over companies making Home Electronics, rebrand them and sell under the Mi Jia branding. Apparently Xiaomi CEO believe in the future world filled with Internet of Things (ie. smart home appliances) and the first steps is to start selling home electronics.

And Mi Jia does make some damn good products. I have got their power extension plug and Android TV box before; my latest is Mi Jia Electric Air Pump.

It is compatible with cars, motorbikes, bicycles and balls such as basketballs. In my use case, I can now ensure my car tyres are filled up at my own convenience instead of using the air pumps at petrol stations.

Package Content includes a pouch and two adapters (one for balls and other for used with French car tyres)

For car owners, it is conventional to pumps the tyres at Petrol Station so electric air pump may not immediately make sense. But it does. Mi Jia Electric Air Pump can read air pressure, preset air pressure and is rechargeable. Basically, it does the work of pumping car tyres better than the petrol station's.

Connecting the device to the tyres are screw in, no need to hold on to the tube. Then set the psi level and press start and wait the tyre is pumped. The best part is I can do this in my multi-storey carpark instead of under the sun and by the roadside at the petrol station. No need to queue too, no need to hold on to the air tube.

At full charge Mi Jia air pump can help to fill up approximately 5 car tyres, the keyword is "help" and not a completely flatten tyre. My experience so far has been approximately 2 bar to 2.4 bar for several times and no recharge required yet.

Though it takes Mi Jia air pump about 3 minutes to fill up the difference of 0.4 bar and the electric air pump can by quite loud in the process.

Noteworthy experience is that the stares from fellow drivers in the carpark and that the airtube can get hot after 10 minutes and as well the tube isn’t long enough such that you can place it on the floor. You gotta hold on to the device for the entire process.

Mi Jia Electric Air Pump is available in Singapore's Xiaomi Store or you can get it online from third party retailers.
