Smallest compressor that seats tubeless effortlessly?

Even a 2 Gallon/120psi compressor will do everything bike related. Fat bike tires might be a stretch, but it’s worked for me. Focus on getting a quiet model. Totally worth it.

I have a Bostitch 6 gallon that works great for tires. I like it because I can fill the tank in the garage and take it inside to use it for small projects. I haven’t tested but I suspect it could seat 5-6 tires without the compressor running.

Does it seem snide if I say a 20g CO2 cartridge? Because that’s legit small and it’ll do it.

as mentioned, one of the small pancake compressors works. The trick is to deliver air quickly enough. I use an air blower gun to do that on recalcitrant tubeless tires. I have this one from HD, had to blacksmith the end a little to get it to fit in the valve (with the core removed) https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Pi...00AV/100064491
Lots of tires seat for me with just a presta chuck |

Having owned pancake compressors, large compressors and now the California Air Tools compressor, I highly recommend the latter.
This is the one I have and it does everything bike-related perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/California-Ai...2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1

This is true, but the point is that you need very little air under decently high pressure, and you can seat anything short of a fat bike tire.

Get this;
Hitachi EC28M Ultra Quiet (59 DB) I am thrilled with mine and I can use it at night without bothering anyone |

what's the word on some of the new batter powered "inflators"?
i would think these would be ideal for inflating bike tires, especially from a shop space consideration, and some people seem to love them, but not sure about the volume they can deliver to pop tubless tires?

These don't work well for seating tubeless because there's no ability to deliver the "big puff" like opening a 1 gallon+ tank provides. That said, they're still really handy especially for MTB/CX where you'd want to dial in pressure 'day-of.'

My low tech method is an Airshot cannister. It works well seating most tubeless combos, though a compressor would be even easier. |
