1. TorrX Smart

The TorrX Smart (appx. $80) features an LED gauge, so you can see when you've reached your target pressure, and it can either inflate or deflate equipment. Its battery tops up using a USB adapter, and you can inflate up to 50 things on a single charge.

Perfect for any sports gear
Design minimizes needle breakage
Fits easily in an equipment bag

2. Keenstone Automatic

With the Keenstone Automatic (about $27), you select the type of ball you want to inflate and it runs until the proper pressure is reached, and then it shuts off automatically. It usually does the job in 1 to 2 minutes and it's small enough to fit in a glove box, backpack, or gym bag.

Usb charger included
Inflates 30 items on one charge
Outstanding value for the price

3. Oasser Inflator

Suitable for on-field use or in the garage, the Oasser Inflator (around $59) has a power drill-like battery pack that recharges via the 12-volt adapter in your car or any household outlet. Its easy-to-read LED display tracks your progress and helps prevent overinflation.

Can preset to desired air pressure
Comes with a storage bag
Can use while charging

4. Champion Sports Deluxe

When any inflatable in your house or school gets saggy, reach for the Champion Sports Deluxe (appx. $65), which delivers up to 50 PSI in order to perk that gear up in no time. It includes a handy pressure gauge, so you don't put in too much air.

Ideal for recreational facilities
Can withstand heavy use
Not as quiet as advertised

5. Aiskki Cordless

The Aiskki Cordless (appx. $44) charges fully in three hours and then works for 30 minutes, which is enough to inflate a lot of gear. It's versatile and can run on battery power or while plugged into a wall outlet or your vehicle's cigarette lighter with the included adapter.

Inflates equipment quickly
Great value for the price
Instructions are not very helpful

6. Champion Sports Ultra-Quiet

The Champion Sports Ultra-Quiet (about $123) is a tankless compressor that can deliver up to 60 PSI of pressure, which is suitable for a wide variety of inflatables. If you run sports camps or recreation facilities with multiple types of ball, give this one a look.

Sturdy and well-built
Much quieter than some others
Does not work on tires

7. Wagan Dual Compressor

The Wagan Dual Compressor (around $70) features two power cords: one for your car and one that plugs into a household wall outlet. It delivers 15 liters per minute of airflow, which is more than sufficient, and it has an easy-to-read digital display.

Also suitable for car and bike tires
Comes with multiple nozzles
Pricier than comparable options

8. Kiasaki Inflator

The Kiasaki Inflator (about $32) is designed for use on tires, but it comes with attachments that make it useful for balls and other inflatables. You'll have to be near a vehicle to use it, though, because the 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter is its only power source.

Shuts off at target air pressure
Durable yet lightweight
Not as versatile as some others
