    Let down by the 12v plug

    Great little compressor, easy to use, cable rewind & storage for hose well thought out. Let down by a poor 12v plug. It’s not the conventional type with two earth tabs, only has one, and seems quite short, hit & miss connection & had to wiggle it a couple of times after it cut out. So frustrating that they got everything right... apart from that! May look at swapping plug for a more conventional type. Even with this issue it’s still a good piece of kit. The pro’s outweigh the con’s!

    Does the Job but Could be Improved

    What I liked: large digital display, easy to set target pressure, auto stop when reaches target pressure set, super quick inflation, not disturbingly noisy, large power button, carrier case. What I didn't like: screw on connector fiddly and time consuming, loses air on connection to and disconnection from tyre (advise inflating to .5 or 1 bar higher than required), awkard shape to hold (keep hitting power button accidentally) - needs handle; carrier case ditto - needs handle, lever flap to rewind car plug cable slow and laborious to wind - lugs to manually wind cable around would be quicker. Overall does the job though it took me some time on first usage to gauge how best to set the pressure to achieve desired level.

  • Inflation

    Really good inflator. Quiet and fast in operation. Display is within 0.5psi accuracy of my two other accurate gauges. Pricey but best one I've had and used. Only thing is it is fast and high powered so does require high current to run the compressor motor. It needs a 15amp fused supply minimum anything less and it'll blow the fuse after a short delay. I read somewhere it loses pressure when removing the connector. I tried four times and couldn't measure the pressure drop doing this.

  • Quality Product and excellent service.

    I looked at several models and settled on the RTC1000 as it was the latest recommendation from Auto Express... which has to say something for the Ring product against the competition. 'GetCarParts' were new to me but the best price... Have to say excellent service and the pump?... well I used it straight away... long lead to get all around the car... the integral threaded adapter provides a really positive connection and it did what it claimed... from 12PSI to 32PSI in a little over 2 minutes and no 'leg' work involved... (an absolute treat!). Well designed, easy to use and re-pack into its' zip case... really neat and tidy, now lives in the boot. Quality Product.

  • Good value

    Excellent emergency tyre pump, easy to use and stores away nicely in the included case. I read the reviews about the poor fitting power socket but this has been addressed on this model. The tyre valve connection is Good quality and a secure fit, one thing to note is when disconnecting from the valve 2psi is lost, I found this loss to be consistent on each use so upping the the pressure 2psi over recomend pressure solves this.

  • Almost perfect

    This is the tyre inflator I've been looking for. The valve is the screw-on type, so it doesn't blow off like the push-fit type sometimes does. The machine is well-built, the dial-in pressure setting is great and it cuts out when pressure is reached. A built-in light helps in the dark and the little tray that holds the dust cap is a nice touch. The cables fold away neatly and there is a sturdy storage case as well. The only gripe I have, and it is a minor gripe, is that the mechanism for retracting the power cable is clunky and awkward. If they can smooth this out it would be perfect. I do, however, highly recommend this product.

  • Check the unit has an accurate gauge asap

    I fell in love with everything about this inflator the first time I used it... but I was in for a shock! I discovered that my unit didn't give accurate pressure readings. Mostly it showed 6psi higher than it actually was. Thinking my analogue pressure gauge might be faulty I visited the mot station 200yds away to check the tyres. They confirmed the dodgy reading given by the RTC1000 so I returned it for a (speedy) refund. SO, just make sure your unit is accurate as soon as you buy it. In common with many other inflators, it uses a screw on valve connector that unavoidably loses a little air so one needs to set the unit higher to compensate. This is more problematic with bicycle tyres so I eventually purchased an inflator with the 'flip down' lever on the connector. (Although half the price of the RTC1000 & without a wind in cable, it's auto digital gauge is 100% accurate too).

  • Brilliant piece of kit

    Ideal tyre inflator. Needed a replacement as old one broke. Compact size and is stored within a carry case. The winding reel for the power cord is very handy and takes the hassle out of wrapping the cord up after each use. Very easy to operate, press the yellow button to set the pressure type and rotate left/right to set required pressure. Best feature is the auto cut out when desired pressure reached. I have checked the tyre pressure after using the unit and it's fairly accurate. Info can be clearly read on the large display. Comes with multiple attachments. Comes with a built in light and handy loose cap tray (no more losing them in the street). Screw on valve connector with pressure release valve (much easier to use than snap on connector). Highly recommended, bought another for family member (also very pleased).

  • Great features and accurate

    Easy to connect, fast tyre inflation and accurate resulting tyre pressures (exact or within half a PSI). The night light may not be the brightest but still useful. Whined up power cable keeps things tidy but the best feature is the auto off feature when the set pressure is reached. Especially great for larger pressure changes.

  • quick and easy to use

    I have used this tyre inflator a few times now and it has performed well inflating the tyre quicky to the required pressure.I have checked the indicated pressure with another pressure gauge and is within .5 psi which is good. A nice touch is the air release to deflate the tyre if required.Comes with long power cable to reach each wheel.
