Small Xiaomi air compressor has been among the gadgets people have been buying through us for years the most, and its third generation Mijia Air Pump 3 Xiaomi sells it so far only in China. You won’t find it in Slovak stores, but now it has appeared in an EU warehouse. It will cost 41 €, which at the time of writing is €17 less than if you order with delivery from China.
Compressor only for China, delivered from Europe
Air Pump 3 is sold on a DHgate store that ships it from its warehouse in Germany with DHL courier, and delivery to Slovakia is free. Since the shipment doesn’t cross the EU border, you don’t pay customs duty (clo) or VAT upon delivery. If the European units run out, you’ll also find a version with delivery from China from our partner Gshopper, which sends it with duty-free shipping.

The Chinese version for the compressor doesn’t matter
Since the third generation isn’t officially sold in Europe, you can only buy it as a Chinese version, but with the compressor it doesn’t matter at all during use. The display shows the pressure numbers, mode icons, and battery status exactly like the European model, and the units are also the usual PSI and BAR. The compressor doesn’t need an app or a phone connection and charges via USB-C, so you don’t have to worry about a Chinese plug either.
In Chinese it’s only a paper manual, which you’ll open barely once anyway with those four buttons and six icons. The only thing you need to think about is the cable, because it isn’t in the official package contents—so have the one from your phone ready.
An empty wheel in six minutes, inflating in 75 seconds
For the third version, Xiaomi put in a stronger motor and a pressure-cast alloy cylinder with a 21 mm diameter, while the second one had 19 mm. According to the manufacturer, that’s why it inflates 25% faster, and an empty 205/55 R16 wheel goes from zero to 2.5 bar in six minutes instead of eight. Max pressure stayed at 150 psi.
In practice, though, you usually end up topping up the tire, which loses some pressure over a few weeks. From 2.0 to 2.5 bar, the third version handles it in 75 seconds, while it took about two minutes for the second one. Inside there are two cells rated at 2 500 mAh instead of 2 000 mAh. With one charge, the compressor inflates ten car tires, a road bike tire from zero to 80 psi 19 times, and a basketball 80 times.
Set the pressure; the compressor stops automatically
The compressor has six modes—each with a preset pressure and its own range: car 2.5 bar (1.8 to 3.5), motorbike 2.4 bar (1.8 to 3.0), bicycle 45 psi (30 to 65), and e-scooter 50 psi (45 to 60). For balls it’s 8 psi (4 to 16), and the custom mode starts at 35 psi and you can set it anywhere from 3 to 150 psi. When the pressure reaches the set value, the compressor stops, so you don’t have to stand by. A digital sensor measures with accuracy of ±1 psi. After each power-on it calibrates itself, so the data stays accurate even in high mountains.
New is a pressure release button that lets you slightly reduce pressure if you overinflate the tire. During inflation, the display shows the progress on a bar that the second version didn’t have. The compressor also turns on/off with the hose itself: when you pull it out of its holder, it turns on, and when you push it back in, it turns off.
Light for the night and a few things to keep in mind
Up front there’s a LED light that lights up after a short press and blinks in SOS mode after a long press—handy when changing a tire at the roadside at night. In the box you’ll find a needle for balls, a quick connector for car air valves, an adapter for Schrader valves (road bike), and a fabric pouch.
The “ten tires” figure applies to inflating from 2,0 to 2,5 bar, while a fully empty car wheel inflates on one charge about 2,7-times. For a road bike with a Schrader valve, you usually won’t be able to reduce pressure with a button, because these valves don’t support venting according to Xiaomi.
The battery can’t be replaced and the compressor isn’t waterproof, so it doesn’t belong in the rain. It works from −10 to 45 °C, but you can only charge it at 5 to 40 °C—so in winter don’t leave it in the car overnight. From the adapter 5 V / 2 A it charges in about three hours. The battery pack is around 17 Wh, so it’s well below the 100 Wh limit for carry-on luggage, but check your airline’s rules before you fly.

If you’d rather go for the proven classic, the previous generation will still serve you well and we tested it thoroughly. The “3” is built on it and mainly adds speed and pressure release.
