Recommendations for decent tyre compressor

Now my run flats have gone what are people using for portable tyre compressors/gauges?

I’ve seen the standard BMw square ones on eBay for around £20 just wondered if there were any better ones for similar kind of money.

Cheers

I use a Ring RAC610 compressor, it's powered by the cigarette lighter and cost about £10. The gauge on it isn't the most accurate so I use a little digital one from Halfords, it also was £10 and has a handy tread depth gauge built in too.

I got a Ring compressor recently (can't remember model) and digital pressure gauge from Halfords as it was the most accurate I could find. Reads to 0.5 but is actually accurate to that too.

I got a Ring 635 when it was on sale at Amazon for £20 https://www.amazon.co.uk/RAC635-Inflato ... e+pressure. I have been pleased with it. The auto feature is quite handy.

I bought the BMW one of ebay with the can of goo for <> £20. Works fine and fits down the side of the battery

I’ve used both a Slime and a BMW compressor and they both work great. Can’t remember how much the Slime one cost but it came with a bottle of goo also. BMW one came with my M so don’t know how much that would set you back!
