This is a great little pump.
Display: The display is clear and easy to read, it includes multiple adapters which is a plus.
Function: For a pump of its size, it inflates quickly, and seems to easily manage 29 x 2.4 or 2.5 MTB tires. The pump comes with an assortment of adapters, which is very nice. I use it most frequently with the Presta press-on adapter. It is on the loud side when you run it, but again the majority of these small pumps are fairly loud. The light inline with the pump is a very nice touch for working in low light.
Battery Life: As advertised I can inflate about 3-4 tires from flat with this pump before the battery needs to be charged. I use it most frequently to top off before a ride, and as a backup. Using it to top off already inflated MTB tires, I can use it for about a week and a half before the battery registers one bar lower. I usually recharge the battery when it gets to 50%.
Accuracy: My pump gauge seems to run about 1 PSI higher than actual pressure as measured by my Jaco gauge (which is incredibly accurate). Testing with my Jaco gauge confirmed it is accurate to +/- 1 PSI. Inflating to 22 PSI (measured) gives me +1-1.3PSI above the pressure measured by my Jaco gauge. I'd rather be higher than lower if there is a variance. On a high volume, low pressure MTB tire being 1 PSI low can result in a pinch flat, or destroying your rim, so it's good that the variance (on mine at least) is biased to be on the high side.
Size: This little pump is very compact. It easily fits in a hip pack, backpack, or jersey pocket. I do wish it came with a waterproof storage bag. The listing says it comes with a waterproof bag. It IS NOT. It's a small microfiber storage bag. I keep mine in a ziplock storage bag in my hip pack. With the valve adapter removed this pump will barely fit into the downtube storage compartment on my Santa Cruz Hightower. It is a VERY tight fit without being in a storage bag. I would not trust leaving it in there without being in some sort of waterproof bag, as the downtube is not 100% water tight. If I ride with a hip pack, so far I would be 100% comfortable riding with just this little pump, and no mini-pump/CO2 inflator in most conditions. My only concern would be using this in the pouring rain.
