At home tire inflator recommendation
Seeking a reliable tire inflator for my 991.1. Will only need to occasionally fill up tires with a few lbs of air especially after sitting for a bit. Plug in 120v I am assuming would, be best. Any recommendations?
Thank-you.
Thank-you.

Pancake compressor.
Otherwise, if you have any cordless tools, get that ecosystem's battery operated inflator.

I bought this Kobalt at Lowe’s after running through about 5 of those Costco “jump boxes”. Each of them died on me after about a year of use and while they would exchange them, I don’t think it was just me having the problem as they don’t carry them anymore.
This one’s been great for inflating lots of things to include the kid’s bikes (and mine), inner tubes for sledding etc. You preset the desired pressure and it just goes. Also provides the initial pressure reading as well when first attached. Believe it or not I actually got it for $40 when it was on sale.

I have had many air compressors. Most are very loud. I now have 2 of these, one in the garage and one in the barn. So quiet. Best ever for my uses.

I've had two of the Kobalt inflators from Lowe's since 2015. The only reason I had to buy another was because my first one was sold with my Ram 2500+Airstream Travel Trailer.
Pretty sure it's this one:

I like it because it runs off 120VAC or 12VDC, inflates to 80 psi, has an autoshut off, and a lighted LCD control/display. The power and inflator hoses are only about 2' each, though, so you have to run an extension cord from the wall to the tire if you use it in the garage. It includes a couple useful accesories to air up pool floats etc. Plus a handy LED task light on the side you can switch on if you are working in the dark.
