Bosch EasyInflate 18V-500 Cordless Tyre Inflator Review: Features & Price

Key Takeaways

  • The Bosch EasyInflate 18V-500 inflates a completely flat car tyre to 35 PSI in approximately 5 minutes, significantly faster than traditional petrol station pumps.
  • This cordless inflator delivers 530 l/min maximum air flow and reaches up to 150 PSI, handling everything from car tyres to high-pressure road bikes effectively.
  • The device uses Bosch's PowerForAll Alliance 18V battery system, making it cost-effective for existing Bosch tool owners who can use their current batteries.
  • Digital display with auto shut-off functionality provides precise pressure control, stopping automatically at your target pressure within 0.5 PSI accuracy.
  • Ordiniq’s AutoPump inflates rapidly and gives you precise control over your tyre pressure. 

Eliminating Tyre Pressure Hassles

Most drivers have experienced the frustration of finding out that their tyre pressure is low at the worst possible moment, like rushing to an important meeting or preparing for a family road trip. Traditional solutions involve detours to petrol stations, hoping their air pumps actually work, then struggling with awkward hoses and unreliable pressure gauges in less-than-ideal conditions.

The Bosch EasyInflate 18V-500 does away with these common headaches by putting professional-grade inflation directly in your hands. This battery-powered device transforms tyre maintenance from a reactive inconvenience into a proactive routine you can manage on your own schedule. Instead of depending on external facilities, you gain complete control over when, where, and how you maintain optimal tyre pressure.

Power and Performance

Bosch EasyInflate 18V-500 Specifications

  • Maximum Pressure: 150 PSI
  • Maximum Air Flow: 530 l/min
  • Battery Compatibility: All Bosch 18V PowerForAll batteries
  • Weight (without battery): 1.3 kg
  • Operating Temperature: −20°C to 60°C
  • Dimensions: Approximately 3.1 x 2 x 6.2 inches

Maximum Air Flow

With a maximum air flow rate of 530 l/min, the Bosch EasyInflate 18V-500 makes quick work of large-volume items like air mattresses and pool inflatables. This high-volume capacity significantly reduces inflation time compared to manual pumps or lower-powered electric models. During testing, we inflated a double air mattress in under 2 minutes, a task that would typically take 5–10 minutes with standard pumps.

Battery Life

The 18V-500 uses a standard 3.0Ah PowerForAll 18V battery and has an integrated charge level indicator that allows you to monitor the remaining battery life and prevent unexpected interruptions when inflating.

Versatile Applications

Car Tyres

The digital pressure gauge lets you precisely inflate your tyres to the manufacturer-recommended pressures, which affects fuel efficiency, tyre wear, and handling. 

For motorists who regularly check their tyre pressures (recommended at least monthly), having this tool in your boot eliminates hunting for working petrol station air pumps or queuing behind other drivers. Simply pull out the EasyInflate and top up your tyres wherever you are.

Bike Tyres

Road bikes typically require pressures between 80–130 PSI, well within this device's 150 PSI maximum capability. 

The included Presta valve adapter makes switching between car and bike tyres seamless, so you don’t need separate pumps for different vehicles.

The precise digital gauge is great for bike tyres, where even small pressure variations can significantly affect the bike’s ride quality and performance. 

Inflatables

Beyond automotive applications, the EasyInflate truly shines handling large-volume inflatables like air mattresses, pool toys, and inflatable paddleboards. 

The high air flow rate makes quick work of these items, turning what's often a tedious, time-consuming task into a quick and effortless process.

Value Assessment

Price Points

The bare tool (without battery) typically retails between £60–£80, while the kit including a battery and charger ranges from £110–£140 depending on battery capacity. While the price is considerably more expensive than basic corded inflators, not having to rely on a cord and sharing the same PowerForAll battery may justify the additional cost for some.

Compared to other premium cordless inflators, the EasyInflate provides comparable or superior performance at a competitive price point, particularly considering how well it’s built and how reliable Bosch products typically are. 

Warranty Coverage

Bosch backs the EasyInflate with their standard two-year warranty, which can be extended to three years by registering the product online within the first 28 days after purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and provides peace of mind regarding the longevity of your investment.

Choose Prevention Over Panic

Whilst traditional emergency accessories remain essential, modern UK drivers need proactive solutions. The Bosch EasyInflate 18V-500 is a solid manual tyre maintenance option with 150 PSI output for £60–£140, but you’ll already need to know when and how to regularly check your pressure and carry around a bunch of additional equipment.

With Ordiniq's AutoPump, rather than waiting for low pressure warnings, our intelligent system monitors and maintains optimal tyre pressure automatically. At just £89, the AutoPump delivers the same 150 PSI power as premium manual inflators whilst adding smart auto shut-off, built-in LED emergency lighting, and SOS functionality.

The real advantage lies in prevention. AutoPump users never experience flat tyre emergencies; everything you need is in the kit. 

With our 90-day risk-free guarantee, free tyre pressure monitoring caps (£19.99 value), and comprehensive UK support, you're investing in complete peace of mind rather than just another tool.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does the Bosch EasyInflate take to inflate a car tyre?

Inflation time varies depending on starting pressure and desired target pressure. For routine maintenance where you're typically adding just a few PSI, the process takes significantly less time, usually under a minute to add 5–7 PSI to a partially inflated tyre. The EasyInflate maintains consistent inflation speed even as pressure increases, unlike many competing products.

Is the Bosch EasyInflate 18V-500 sold with a battery?

The EasyInflate is available as both a "bare tool" (without battery and charger) and as a complete kit that includes a battery and charger. The bare tool option suits those who already own Bosch 18V PowerForAll tools and have compatible batteries, while the kit provides everything needed for first-time Bosch users. 

What's the maximum pressure the Bosch EasyInflate can reach?

The EasyInflate has a maximum pressure rating of 150 PSI (10.3 BAR), which exceeds requirements for virtually all consumer applications. This high-pressure capability makes it suitable for road bike tyres (typically 80–130 PSI) and standard car tyres (generally 30–45 PSI depending on vehicle). 

Can I use the Bosch EasyInflate to deflate items?

Yes, the EasyInflate allows you to quickly remove air from inflatable items. This function is particularly useful for large-volume items like air mattresses, pool toys, and inflatable furniture, where manual deflation would be time-consuming. 

How does the Bosch EasyInflate compare to Ordiniq's AutoPump for tyre maintenance?

The Bosch EasyInflate excels as a versatile, portable inflation tool that requires manual operation each time you need inflation. You’ll have to remember to check your tyre pressures and physically operate the device, though. Ordiniq's AutoPump helps you maintain optimal tyre pressure automatically, so it’s a much better option if you want something a bit more hands off. It also takes up much less space, so you’ll have no problem storing in your car.
