Need something to blow up my dolls, I mean tubeless tyres.

Needs to be electric. Have bout £100 to spend. Thinking of this:

Will it be any good

or the sort of large barrel air pump you get for blowing up airbed/kitesurf kites:

low pressure but high flow, works well with valve core out for seating purposes. does still require pumping like a loon tho.

The Netto ones look a good deal.

I was looking for something more compact that I could travel to France with.

Would 6 litre be man enough for the job?

The size of the receiver isn't very important tbh, max pressure counts for more. Butyou can seat motorbike tyres with a decent 6l 1hp compressor so it'll make short work of a mtb tyre.

Or you could buy some tubes 😉
