Bought one of these today to carry on the bike. I tried it out and it works really well
It inflated a 700 x 35c tyre from flat to 65 psi in under a minute.
Eye watering expensive mind you.

 
I am certain there will be a promo on Amazon soon.

Maybe so, but I didn’t pay that anyway.
I have a pal who’s really into cycling. He bought an Amazon one for about £70. It had a plastic case and very flimsy compared to mine.
Sometimes you have to spend a bit mote
……….i can’t believe I just said that,me, a tight Yorkshire man 🥵 🥵 🥵

How much are these out of interest?
One of my cycling pals is Mr Gadget and he bought a micro inflator that will do 2 tyres. He had 2 punctures in one day and the pump just managed to re inflate 2 tubes. I cannot see the advantage of these. ( I run tubeless).
 
Having purchased a Flextail pump for my sleeping mat I’d think that their bicycle mini pump would be good too. Rechargeable, small and compact.
Ultra light outdoor gear have proved to be a very reliable online retailer in my experience. If they say it’s in stock, it’s in stock. Of course, the old fashioned hand pump still makes more sense in many ways….unless you run tubeless of course 😉

I paid £80. It’s got a pressure gauge on it so u don’t over inflate.
I did 3 inflations with it and it was still going ok.
I get what u say, I still carry a pump , this is just for ease of use.

I have thought about buying one, but not wishing to tempt fate, but since running tubeless, I've not had a puncture in 3 years. The only recent puncture was on my winter hack which still has tubes in it.
Every week it seems a new gadget is brought out. Mr Gadget can spend as much on these as a new bike!

Well I bought it because the pump that came with the bike is small and takes ages it pump a tyre up.
To be fair I also carry a repair kit and an inner tube. And I’m never far from home.
 
Used my Xiaomi pump a few times to fix flat tyres on the pushbike.
On longer rides I do always have a backpack, so easy to carry that around.
 
I bought a Chinese cheapie (under £15 delivered) and it’s a bit rubbish. Artery life is poor and it takes ages to inflate a tyre. Also it only has 4 preset pressures, if you run wider road bike tyres at 60-80psi you’re guessing when the tyre is up to pressure- actually that’s like a CO2 cartridge.
 
Theres a multi test in todays Cycling weekly. You can pay anything ( UK based not Aliexpress ) from £39 to £89 . Best bang for buck Airbank mini pocket rocket. The muc off one gets a good review but is £75
