RTC6000

Mine only arrived yesterday so I can't speak about its reliability, but it seems well made. Most importantly, it's been really well thought through. It's cordless so very very convenient. The inflator tube is actually long enough to get to a valve if it's at the top of the wheel. The tube stores away neatly. The brass screw fitting for attaching to the tyre valve seems very good quality and is very non-fiddly. It's very simple to set a target pressure. There's a foot switch to start it. It's very quick. And - brilliant thought - there's a little depression on the machine for putting the valve cap in while it's inflating - I'm forever losing the things, and that's a really nice touch. (It even comes with four spare valve caps! And a tiny cupboard that you can put them in, along with various adaptors.) The inflator/deflator for airbeds etc has a separate pump, for low pressure/high volume flow, which I haven't tried yet but will be handy in the summer. Am I being a bit over-enthusiastic? I hope not. I am chasing around now looking for tyres to pump up...

Ring Automotive's RTC6000 Cordless 4-in-1 Tyre Inflator with Air Pump is a versatile and convenient tool that certainly adds a level of ease to tire maintenance. The quick-set auto stop feature ensures precise pressure control, preventing over-inflation. One notable aspect is its cordless design, providing mobility and eliminating the hassle of cords during operation. The 4-in-1 functionality, including an air pump, further enhances its utility, making it a handy tool for various inflation needs. However, the battery performance falls short of expectations, requiring frequent recharging. It's worth noting that to achieve optimal and sustained performance, the inflator often needs to be plugged into the car charger. This dependency on constant charging might pose an inconvenience, especially for users seeking prolonged use on the go. Despite the battery limitation, the inflator's overall functionality and convenience make it a valuable addition to any vehicle emergency kit, offering peace of mind for quick and efficient tire maintenance when needed. With the right expectations regarding battery life and charging, the Ring Automotive RTC6000 remains a solid choice for on-the-road tire inflation needs.

Easy to use, despite some adverse reviews, which I chose to ignore because of some very positive answers to the questions raised on Amazon. A really good feature is the long brass screw-on valve connector, which is very easy to grip even for 68 year old fingers. The mains plug connector isn’t tricky so long as you line up the plug carefully before pushing in - worked for me anyway. Charging initially takes a while, but I think one charge will last a long time, and you can always run it off the car 12volt socket. Pressure selection and adjustment is easy, and pumping seems very quick. I checked pressures on our three cars in what seemed like double-quick time. Being “cable-free” is worthwhile. This is a really good replacement for my old Michelin pump, which lasted 10 years. I was wary of the cheaper pumps, and opted for this because of the Ring brand, plus a good review in WhatCar. I think it was a good decision.

Have had this for 4 years now and love it. It is so easy and convenient to use. Given it is battery powered there is totally portable and no worries about trailing wires everywhere. Single battery charge will do well over 15 tyres of topping up pressure. Excellent aftersales service too. Unfortunately the inflator gave up a month ago but a few quick emails to the manufacturer and they sent me some spare parts. 30 minutes of disassembly, a bit of soldering and hey presto back good as new. Really can’t fault them.

I purchased this product in Nov 2024. Having used it about 4 times throughout last year, I thought this was a great purchase. However, when I tried to use it just after the warranty period expired, it stopped working. In essence there was no air filling at all, even though the battery was full. I tried with car tyres and bicycle tyres, knowing that pressure was very low in both sets of cases. I sent an email to Ring Tech support, who claim it's a faulty nozzle, but this is rubbish as it's only been used a handful of times. Having looked on the internet for troubleshooting, there are issues ranging from motor to diaphragm. Anyway, this is a very cheap product with a life-cycle of no more than 18months, I would say. Really disappointing.

I have been using this for several months and it works well. One tyre had a slow leak and I used it every day until the tyre was properly fixed. It was extremely useful then. Sometimes the pressure you set is not right and you need to set it to a higher pressure and adjust letting a little air out with a gauge afterwards. Though I suppose it is possible my gauge is wrong.

Bought this to check and top up tyres on caravan where there is no power available. Perfect for that. Have used on car a few times but overall not used very much at all and recently despite charging a few days prior when I came to use it the display only showed one bar. Thought that I might have made a mistake but it has happened again. When it does work it is a really good product which is easy to use. Noise is about same as any other inflator I've had. Easy to fit to tyres and has a push button to let air out. Will definitely top up four tyres no problem and I have inflated one flat tyre with it but that's about all it will do. Good bag and must accessories fit in the device itself. Bag will take the cigarette lighter adapter and the inflator but not the plug adaptor which has led me to forget to take it when we've gone away in the caravan
