Next on the testing docket was the Half Aloki compressor. Priced at just $50 with similar accolades boasting 3,000 reviews and a 4.2-star rating, it claimed a battery capacity of 20,000 milliamp hours, which supposedly allowed it to inflate a tire in about five minutes.
However, the harsh reality prevailed as the compressor shut off after just over five minutes of operation, having inflated a tire to a mere 42 PSI without fully completing its task. Curious about its alleged battery capacity, the investigator disassembled the device to find only four cells amounting to approximately 8,000 milliamp hours—far below what was advertised. This discovery underscored a troubling trend where false specifications allowed these products to remain market contenders.
