An award winning product (‘Which’ consumer magazine Best Buy), it cannot be compared to the machines used by most of the competition, who offer cheap compressors that will take many minutes and overheat when called upon to inflate car tyres, and which are prone to early failure. They also have the cheap circular analogue dials that are hopelessly inaccurate. And you have to monitor them while in use and switch them off at the right time.

The Get-u-Home™ compressor is powerful, inflating the average car tyre to 30 psi/2.1 BAR in 5 minutes without overheating. It is digital – you select exactly the pressure you need (in psi or BAR) and press Start: the compressor does the rest, inflating accurately to the right pressure and then turning off automatically. Simple: and a boon when you want to ensure all your tyres are correct according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. Regular use of the Get-u-Home™ compressor will lengthen your tyres’ life and save you money, as well as optimising your handling and security.

It doesn’t stop there: the unit includes a powerful LED lamp for night-time application, and the lamp can be switched to red flashing mode to warn approaching traffic.

Powered by the 12V auxiliary socket/ cigarette lighter in your car, the 3 metre cable is sufficient for most vehicles. And there are adapters that fit into the nozzle of the air line, so you can also use the unit to blow up bicycle tyres, footballs and other inflatables.

For the first tine there is a puncture repair kit that features the World’s Favourite Sealant, made in the UK by OKO and on sale through distributors in over 80 countries.

Too many kits are using feeble ‘me-too’ sealants that do not last in the bottle. They lose their sealing ability and often they separate so that the active ingredients sink to the bottom. When called upon to seal a hole in a tyre, they will not hold their seal. OKO lasts as long as your car does: and it is the strongest product available.

OKO provides a 400ml Get-u-Home™ bottle that is the right amount to seal a hole of up to 7mm diameter in the tread area of the tyre. (No sealant will seal a sidewall puncture). No measuring is required: you simply unscrew the valve core (the remover is in the bottle cap) and squeeze in the whole bottle content using the tube provided, (blow some air through the valve stem with the compressor hose if needed to clear it), replace the valve core and inflate using the compressor. Then drive off for a short distance: recheck the tyre pressure and top up if needed, then drive home (at up to 50 mph/80 km/hr) or to the nearest garage to replace the tyre safely.

Replacement bottles of Get-u-Home™ sealant are available so that the user can have a complete kit again, ready for the next emergency.

And of course the kit can be used to repair tyres/tubes on bicycles and motorbikes as well as other small vehicles: all you need is a handy car auxiliary socket.

OKO Get-u-Home™ is packaged in a handy zipped clear plastic pouch that makes it easy to stow in a car boot/trunk. Basic instructions are given in a wide range of languages, and there is a more detailed booklet in English.

A QR code has been included on the packaging that links, when scanned, to the new OKO animated video which (without words, so it is suitable for any country) gives you easy-to-follow instructions on how to use the kit to mend and reinflate your tyre.
