That Velcro incident reminds me of the tv salesman selling a folding ladder that is saying it’s very safe, the ladder half folds, and then says Now it’s locked in place then proceeds to do a full scorpion as his spine perfectly conforms to the v shaped ladder 😂
Great review Keav, I'm glad you're happy...thank you for giving some spot light on this inflator, now it will reach a lot more people who were looking for this same solution. 🔥
Great video. I bought this inflator after I saw that auto on/off feature. I bought it and it was delivered right before I had to go on a trip. Looking forward to trying it out on a IK pro 12 foamer. Thanks for the link for the Velcro hook and loop, it’s a perfect solution. I’ll reply after I test the new inflator this weekend.
Hey keave , Once again keav, love your videos. Just pulled the trigger on two inflators from it’s and I bought the SPTAsprayer that you reviewed not too long ago. keep it up my man! Anthony
Aside from being in the hands of Keav the Destroyer, this is a safe setup: 1. He has not structurally modified the tank with a schrader valve. This foamer comes pre-installed with a schrader valve, which he is correctly using. 2. There are no modifications to the wall of the tank to mount the compressor. 3. He has set the pressure of the inflator below the relief valve set point. This will prevent an over-pressure scenario should the relief fail. 4. Most of these tire inflators flow less than the relief valve, preventing pressure buildup while the relief is open. General guidance: With any pressurized container, check the manufacturer's recommendations for compatible chemicals. Do not leave the tank pressurized while in storage. Do not leave the tank out in the sun as the UV exposure can eventually degrade plastic and become brittle. Only pressurize the container within its rated temperature limits. If your iK (or any sprayer) begins to take on a yellowish hue, do not continue to use it. This is a telltale sign that the integrity of the plastic has been compromised and no longer safe to use.
This is exactly what I was looking for! I don’t always like turning on my loud air compressor..especially on an early weekend morning….thank you for this awesome review! Just purchased!!
The price is right for that inflator. Besides the performance of the IK foamers, one of the other foamers that I'm happy with is the Amazon/ generic sprayers. It's black with yellow writing. Auto Foam Spray/ Electronic Sprayer. It's better than okay, IMO. It shoots a steady, powerful stream if you need that feature. Your blogs are usually helpful, Keav, thank you!
I was literally looking for a small compressor with this exact feature last night. Thanks so much for sharing, Keav. My setup is ordered from Amazon and on its way. Only 5 compressors left when I ordered.
I knew they would sell out fast. I think there is another listing I’ll have to look at. I just checked the one I linked seems to have plenty. There was another listing that only has two left now.
I ordered mine last week and it arrived on Saturday. I was punching every button configuration possible to try to find this mode... I swore I tried the right one, but figured I would get the right info today. I was afraid it was going to sell out and saw someone had mentioned the Xiaomi in a comment last week. I took a chance on going with the newest model... pretty cool that it will work with both the v1 and v2. Loved the IK Foamer... but only for like 10 seconds then hate it enough that I don't bother using it. It's been collecting dust for about a year. This is a game changer and I look forward to actually using it for wheels and spot-treating with citrus pre-wash... and might have to give Detail Co's Loki Hybrid Wash another shot at foaming application using the IK Foamer.
So I have a version of this inflator. It looks the same but is older. It’s called the 1S. This hack also works but you have to push right arrow five times vs once. Just an fyi in case anyone else has the same one because at first I was bummed that it didn’t work on mine.
Yeah, UA-cam is advancing their AI glad I was invited to their Beta program for it. I like watching me in different languages even though I have no idea what I’m saying. Can’t wait for Mandarin so I can look like a Kung Fu movie.
I wouldn’t say that as I have not had my hand on one long enough to know how much better it could be. I held and played with them at SEMA and MtE and they are really good. This is just an option if you wanted to spend a little less and don’t want to wait or you like to dunk your bottle in a bucket.
I love jenky if it saves me money and it works. I’ll be getting the new one as well. You’ll just never be able to dunk the bottle in liquid and have to watch getting liquid in the compressor area at the bottom.
@@CarsWithKeav I seriously had never thought of that. Huh. ...maybe my valve stem modded Marolex 2000 is still the way to go. ...for me. I'm rethinking my entire life at this point.
YES ANOTHER INFLATOR VIDEO!!! a flux capacitor, 88 psi, 1.21 gigawatts and we’re foam to the future! … quick little visit to mr and mrs burkett, “we’re from the future…ITS YOUR SON AARON, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KEEP HIM AWAY FROM STARWARS AND GOBOTS” 😆🐿️💨
Funny enough this is the one that I have had for almost a year but haven’t opened it due to the fact that I got the MultiPro9 which unfortunately doesn’t come with a Schrader valve but good to know
@@CarsWithKeav Ok appreciate it and by the way. I was thrilled you had a blast at MTE and you got to eat some bus cheese👌. Your BIMMER parked next to Yvan bus looked DOPE👀
Xiaomi is the brand, I myself would use a larger inflator which I don’t know would auto start. This would struggle to keep up with a canister that big.
Yeah, that’s why you set a max below the pressure relief valve at 45psi so you’ll never have an issue with the relief valve failing. I also think it was the bigger IK that blew up. I think Steve Pierson did a video on it.
Yes, but it was over inflated. The compressor will turn off on its own, and the pressure relief valve will bypass excess pressure. If your IK is still blowing up, then we've got some serious problems 😅
I’m sure it can go to that pressure, but for a keg or Ik 12 it just isn’t strong enough to fill that void of air fast enough. It could do the first fill, but when spraying it would struggle to keep up. E foam pro 2 compressor is pretty stout and replaceable batteries. I’ve found other bigger inflators that work, but personally I would just get the e foam pro compressor.
The link I have still shows lots of stock. There is one that is $46 and another that is $49. This is the one I linked amzn.to/4hHDqYb it still has 20 left now.
The one on Amazon for $37 is not a foam pro 2+ with the air valve. It is a pump only version. You could convert it yourself, but then it’s around $42 after buying the valve. My discount code gets 10% of at house of rags as well, but you would have to pay shipping as well unless you hit the minimum for free shipping. This one is available on Amazon for $48 which I linked in the description. amzn.to/42GPQvd
@@CarsWithKeav It was great meeting you, Humberto, Tim, Steve and the various others whose names I'm forgetting right now over the weekend. Hoping that we all get to collab somewhere down the road (:

Very awesome. Nothing foams like an IK
This is true.
So I have a version of this inflator. It looks the same but is older. It’s called the 1S. This hack also works but you have to push right arrow five times vs once. Just an fyi in case anyone else has the same one because at first I was bummed that it didn’t work on mine.
Excellent video as always, and thanks to AI dubbing, I enjoy the videos even more now because I used to watch them with subtitles.
Yeah, UA-cam is advancing their AI glad I was invited to their Beta program for it. I like watching me in different languages even though I have no idea what I’m saying. Can’t wait for Mandarin so I can look like a Kung Fu movie.
I m liking the Solo Foamers the 303 FB and the 309 FB. I might try this on them.
Yup you can add a valve pretty easily to any bottle.
@@CarsWithKeav You got a valve recommendation didn’t see one in the video?
so get this as opposed to the new IK Foamers?
I wouldn’t say that as I have not had my hand on one long enough to know how much better it could be. I held and played with them at SEMA and MtE and they are really good. This is just an option if you wanted to spend a little less and don’t want to wait or you like to dunk your bottle in a bucket.
Love the video - thank you. Cool option, if not kinda jenky (Moreman lingo). ;-) Will wait for the IK e Foam Pro 2.
I love jenky if it saves me money and it works. I’ll be getting the new one as well. You’ll just never be able to dunk the bottle in liquid and have to watch getting liquid in the compressor area at the bottom.

Very cool!!!
Thanks
Nice!! I have both. Did I miss the part about where it clips on the IK? Is that the pressure relieve valve missing the pull top?
🇨🇦 it is also available on the Canadian amazon website
YES ANOTHER INFLATOR VIDEO!!! a flux capacitor, 88 psi, 1.21 gigawatts and we’re foam to the future! … quick little visit to mr and mrs burkett, “we’re from the future…ITS YOUR SON AARON, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KEEP HIM AWAY FROM STARWARS AND GOBOTS” 😆🐿️💨
Funny enough this is the one that I have had for almost a year but haven’t opened it due to the fact that I got the MultiPro9 which unfortunately doesn’t come with a Schrader valve but good to know
You could have been the one to figure it out! 🤣
Keav what’s the MAXIMUM PRESSURE you can set that XIAOMI inflator to?
I never tried, but it inflates to 150psi so would think it’s that.
@@CarsWithKeav Ok appreciate it and by the way. I was thrilled you had a blast at MTE and you got to eat some bus cheese👌. Your BIMMER parked next to Yvan bus looked DOPE👀
What ratio for brake buster for this setup?
Depends on your needs. For maintenance I usually use 5:1 or 3:1
Will this work with the IK Multi Pro 12 + and the IK Foam Pro 12? 🙏🏻
It will inflate them, but it would struggle to keep enough pressure to use while it’s being used. For those you would need a bigger inflator.
@ will give it a try. I find one charge is enough for rinse less in the Multi. Should be good if just to stop having to use the Ryobi inflator.
Nice! So what is the actual name of this version? Are you going to try on IK pro 12 foamer? Excellent vid!
Xiaomi is the brand, I myself would use a larger inflator which I don’t know would auto start. This would struggle to keep up with a canister that big.
I already used your link to purchase this new pump!! This is the winner! Who flushes the toilet 3 times in a row??? Was it a bear? 😂😂😂😂
I saw someone post a ik that blew up
Yeah, that’s why you set a max below the pressure relief valve at 45psi so you’ll never have an issue with the relief valve failing. I also think it was the bigger IK that blew up. I think Steve Pierson did a video on it.
Yes, but it was over inflated. The compressor will turn off on its own, and the pressure relief valve will bypass excess pressure. If your IK is still blowing up, then we've got some serious problems 😅
@@BrillianceAutoSpa Pressure relief valves can fail especially when dealing with vaporized chemicals in the air possibly clogging it up.
@CarsWithKeav stay safe out there, the world needs Keav!
Cool, I wonder how it would work on a larger keg, say at 60 to 80 psi, or used on the larger IK Pro compared to the IK e battery.
I’m sure it can go to that pressure, but for a keg or Ik 12 it just isn’t strong enough to fill that void of air fast enough. It could do the first fill, but when spraying it would struggle to keep up. E foam pro 2 compressor is pretty stout and replaceable batteries. I’ve found other bigger inflators that work, but personally I would just get the e foam pro compressor.
great find, thank you! just to help you with the pronunciation, it sounds like "shower me" without the "er"
That is the general consensus that I am getting. I never would have known. 🤣
Is there anyway to convert pro 2 to pro 2 plus? Having few pro 2
Yes I show how in this video you can do it to any pump sprayer. ua-cam.com/video/w6yJdgujfZM/v-deo.htmlsi=NK_I-C8HGyujZtwo
@@CarsWithKeav Thanks. Do some research and purchase as recommended. Will try to convert it! Love the way you explained.
🔥🔥🔥
Is this the same as the Fanttik X9 Pro? Looks very very similar.
When the real IK E Foam pro 2 gets here I’d like to see you compare it to this one. I’m also curious how loud they compare
I’m just waiting for the IK e-foamer in a few months. USB-C rechargeable and don’t need a pump strapped to the side of the bottle
xiaomi pronunciation = shau·mee
Thanks for that.
I have the IK foam pro 2 and its probably my least used tool. I cant replicate the results everyone else gets.
No kidding there are only 4 left on Amazon 😩
The link I have still shows lots of stock. There is one that is $46 and another that is $49. This is the one I linked amzn.to/4hHDqYb it still has 20 left now.
house of rags 50$, amazon 37$
