Since a long time I was planning an all in one foot pump to cover everything related and this Michelin Foot Pump turned out to be a one stop solution to all such needs. All in all its a cheap yet effective quality package. Be it vehicle or bicycle tyre top-up, toy inflation, sports ball etc, all can be easily pumped at home. No need to rush to shops for these tasks.

PROS

1. Very good quality foot pump compared to those local ones. Quality is just everywhere. Build, design & finish. All 10/10.
2. Effective single cylinder system with effortless pumping by design. Even you can pump it via hand.
3. Manual mechanical operation instead of electrical. So no dependency on power/car battery.
4. Since its fully mechanical so no water damage issue like electrical one.
5. Multiple adaptors provided to virtually cover every application.
6. Sufficiently long hose with direct connector for bike/car tyres.
7. Highly compact design with locking lever to keep in compressed state.
8. Ergonomic rubber tread plate on top for effective pumping.
9. Anti-skid rubber feet.
10. Fairly accurate pressure gauge with reading in PSI & BAR.

CONS

1. Connector on hose is having brass inner & plastic outers. A bit skeptical about its durability as if its damaged, whole product will become useless.
2. Presta adaptor for bicycle tyre is fully plastic. Brass one would have been highly appreciated for durability point considering price of pump.

• Presta valve adaptor: Bicycle tyres

Pressure Tracking:

1. Bikes & Car: As soon as connector is fully screwed on tyre valve, it pressed needle inside it & gauge shows tyres live pressure reading on dial. So we are able to track the reading while pumping to get desired pressure.

2. Other applications: Its based on intuition & check. After every few pumps check pressure by pressing bicycle tyre or sports ball by hand & stop when its sufficient.

Pushes/Pumps Required:

It requires approx

• 8 to 10 pushes on car tyre to increase pressure by 1 PSI
• 10 to 14 pushes on bicycle for biweekly top up
• 15 pushes approx to inflate a normal size balloon

FINAL VERDICT

In short Michelin Foot Pump is a highly recommended durable & quality product. Just spend some extra bucks here & avoid those local ones which are slightly cheaper. You won’t be disappointed. Quality word appears synonymous to this product.

P.S. Its not at all meant to inflate tyre from 0 pressure to full. Its only suitable for topping up pressure.
So those looking for other part will be disappointed as it will require to pump almost 100 times to get to those levels. So in short its possible but will require a lot of pumping.
