I got an AirBank branded one back in November.  Its been great.  I've used it to seat MTB tires and gravel bike tires.  Its almost completely replaced my air compressor and floor pumps, especially for top ups right before a ride.  Seems to get about 3 minutes of runtime on a charge, so I just plug it in for a few minutes before tossing it back into my tool bag and heading out.

I havent bought a pocket sized one, but i recently got a Xiaomi generation 2, to use instead of a floor pump. super happy with it. If xiaomi makes a pocket sized one, i guess i'd go with that.
Cost me 35 eur or so, i think.

I bought the Airbank AS1 from AliExpress. It will air up a tire no problem after it has been charged. The problem is it seems to lose it's charge quickly. I tried to use it on a ride and it was dead. It had been charged about a week prior.

I have recently bought the Cyplus from Amazon. It seems to work great but I haven't had it long enough to see how long the charge lasts.

I’m eyeing this thing. Is it genuinely powerful enough to top up car tires as advertised? Then I’d be seriously interested. Otherwise I’m good with floor pumps.

Yes, the xiaomi mijia 2S or whatever can. I did that last month. So handy traveling with just a tiny toolbox. Supposedly it's not the best in its category anymore but I'm happy enough with it
