GOOLOO A5 5-in-1 Jump Starter with Air Compressor (4000A) and 160PSI Tyre Inflator
Product description
If you keep getting caught out with a flat battery or a tyre that’s gone a bit soft, a jump starter with a built-in inflator is one of those “small problem, big hassle” purchases. The GOOLOO A5 tries to cover both, and it also throws in a flashlight and a portable power bank function. On paper, it’s a practical bundle for UK drivers who want one compact unit for roadside trouble and day-to-day top-ups.
That said, it’s not a magic fix for everything. Your results depend on the health of the vehicle battery and how you use the inflator (for example, the unit auto-stops when it reaches your preset pressure, but it can’t replace proper tyre repair if there’s a puncture). It also sits in the “do-it-all” category, so it may not feel as specialised as a dedicated tyre compressor or a higher-end jump pack.
The essentials
The GOOLOO A5 is a 12V jump starter power pack designed to start most 12V vehicles, with support for emergency jump-start, tyre inflation, and a flashlight. It also acts as a portable power bank for charging other devices, which is handy if you’re the person who always has “one tiny cable” that nobody else brought.
The air compressor part is the standout feature in daily use: it can be set to a target pressure and then auto-stops once it reaches that level. The unit’s smart screen is meant to show real-time info such as battery level, tyre pressure, and inflation mode, so you’re not guessing while you’re crouched by the wheel.
What really stands out in use
A good test of value with a jump starter/inflator combo is whether it’s easy to get from “problem” to “solution” without fiddly guesswork. The A5 includes preset inflation modes and multiple nozzles, which should help if you’re moving between different tyre types (and the ability to set pressure in PSI/BAR/KPA gives you flexibility).
The inflator’s max pressure is listed as 160PSI, and the brand states it can inflate a standard tyre from 25 to 36 PSI in under 1 minute. If you’ve ever watched a slow compressor struggle while you check your watch, this “fast top-up” claim is the sort of thing that matters when you’re using it for emergencies or regular pressure checks.
The smart screen also shows remaining power, which is a small but important detail. It’s one thing to have a booster in the car, it’s another to know you still have enough charge left when you need it.

Where it shines (and where it may not)
It makes sense if you want one unit to handle the most common “car at the roadside” issues: a flat battery and a tyre pressure problem. The combination is particularly attractive for people who don’t want to store separate tools (a standalone compressor plus a separate booster), or for those who want a portable, screen-guided approach.
However, keep expectations realistic. If your battery is severely drained, jump-starting may still be hit and miss depending on the car and the battery condition—though the listing does mention a “force-start button” intended for reliable restart. Also, if you’re dealing with a tyre with a puncture, inflating pressure is only part of the story, you’ll still need proper repair.
Getting the most from it
To get decent results, it helps to treat this like a kit you know how to use before you need it. For a quick “micro-experience” of how it should work: set your target pressure on the screen, attach the correct nozzle to the valve, then start the inflation and watch the reading as it counts up—when it hits your preset, it should stop automatically. That workflow reduces the “overinflate” risk and takes the guesswork out of the moment.
For charging, the Type-C interface is included (with reversible insertion), and there’s also mention that it can charge other devices thanks to the 20000mAh capacity. That’s useful when you’re running low on phone or accessories, but don’t expect it to replace your normal charger for heavy use.
What’s in the box
The package is listed as including 1 × jump starter with air compressor, 1 × smart jumper cable, 1 × USB-A to USB-C cable, 1 × carrying bag, 1 × pump tube, 5 × air nozzles, and 1 × user manual.
A carrying bag is a genuinely practical detail for car storage—less clutter, quicker to grab, fewer “where did that cable go?” moments.
Is it worth it?
It’s a good fit if you want a compact 12V jump starter and tyre inflator in one, especially if you like the idea of a screen showing battery level and tyre pressure, plus a preset-and-auto-stop inflation routine. The included nozzles and inflation modes add to the day-to-day usability.
It may not suit you if you’re looking for a fully specialised, no-compromise tyre compressor or a premium jump pack for frequent heavy-duty use—this is more of a versatile emergency organiser than a specialist tool. You may want to skip it if you already own a high-performing separate compressor/booster and only need one of the functions.
Mini FAQ
How does the tyre inflator work? It’s designed to let you set a target pressure (PSI/BAR/KPA) and then auto-stop when that pressure is reached.
What does the screen show? The listing says the LCD screen displays real-time data including battery level, tyre pressure, and the inflation mode.
Will it work on any car? The listing is aimed at 12V vehicles and mentions “all petrol” and up to 10L diesel—so it’s not marketed as universal for every vehicle type.
Can it charge devices? Yes, it’s described as a 12V jump starter power bank with a 20000mAh capacity, and it supports charging via Type-C input.
Does it come with accessories? Yes—there’s a smart jumper cable, pump tube, and 5 air nozzles, along with cables and a carrying bag.
