TWO-IN-ONE

A tyre inflator that can double up as a vaccum cleaner? Best of both worlds, or a compromise?

- WORDS SHIVANK BHATT

With tubeless tyres becoming the norm, a tyre inflator has turned into a must-have accessory for motorists.

In fact, more and more carmakers are now ditching spare wheels altogether and replacing them with compact, company-fitted inflators — the new Maruti Suzuki Victoris being a prime example. At the same time, keeping your car's interior clean is just as important, especially since that's where you spend most of your time. To address both these needs, Uno Minda has come up with a 2-in-1 tyre inflator and vacuum cleaner combo. Sounds too convenient to be true, right? Well, we got our hands on one to see if it really delivers in everyday conditions.
