Key Takeaways
- The Ring RTC6000 inflates a standard car tyre from flat to 35 PSI in just 2 minutes.
- It's a 4-in-1 device combining a tyre inflator, airbed pump, LED torch, and USB power bank.
- Digital auto-stop prevents over-inflation while the large backlit display shows pressure in PSI, BAR, or KPA.
- At around £54, it's cheaper than many premium cordless models but heavier at 1.77kg, so portability takes a hit for the extra functionality.
- While the RTC6000 covers multiple bases, drivers wanting a more compact solution will find that Ordiniq's AutoPump delivers better tyre inflation without the bulk.
What Makes the Ring RTC6000 Special?
The RTC6000 functions as four separate tools: tyre inflator, airbed pump, LED torch, and USB power bank. That makes it useful for camping or long journeys where space matters.
The cordless operation means you can move freely around larger vehicles without stretching cables or repositioning your car. It can also inflate a standard tyre in 2 minutes, which beats many other competitors.
You get a comprehensive 10-piece adaptor set covering everything from bike tyres to sports equipment. Ring even throws in latex gloves and spare valve caps.

- Ring RTC6000 4-in-1 Inflator
- 10-piece adaptor set
- Charging cables (mains and 12V)

At 29.8 x 25 x 8 cm, it's much larger than basic inflators, but the grey casing is well built.
Features
The RTC6000 focuses on being a multi-purpose tool rather than just doing one job well.
Cordless Operation and Battery Performance
The powerful lithium-ion battery provides enough juice for 4–5 car tyre inflations from low pressure, or 1–2 complete inflations from flat. That's slightly better than the smaller RTC4000, though the exact capacity isn't specified by Ring.
A full charge takes 3–4 hours when using the cables they include, and you can charge from mains power or your car's 12V socket. The battery indicator on the display helps you monitor power levels so you're not caught without any juice.
Cold weather affects performance like all lithium batteries, so keep it indoors during winter rather than leaving it in your car.
Digital Display with Auto-Stop
The large backlit display shows pressure in PSI, BAR, or KPA. Set your target pressure, and it’ll stop automatically when reached, preventing over-inflation and tyre damage.
Accuracy is within ±1 PSI compared to professional gauges, which is fine for everyday use. The screen's large enough to read from a distance and bright enough for direct sunlight.
Real-time pressure readings let you track inflation progress without guesswork.
4-in-1 Functionality
Beyond tyre inflation, the RTC6000 handles airbeds and inflatables with dedicated adaptors. The USB power bank can charge phones and tablets if you need to make emergency calls or navigate when your phone battery is on empty.
The integrated LED torch is genuinely bright with a steady beam and flashing emergency modes. It can illuminate the valve area during night-time inflation.
Each function works independently, so you can use the torch without running the compressor or charge devices without inflating anything.
Build Quality and Portability
The RTC6000 is well built with a grey casing that feels durable without looking industrial. At 1.77 kg, it's heavier than compact inflators.
The storage case protects everything and has dedicated compartments for all adaptors, and it helps keep the smaller pieces from getting lost in your boot.
Operating it is pretty straightforward with clearly marked buttons, and using it while wearing gloves is pretty doable.
Performance
The RTC6000's main feature is speed; it can inflate a standard car tyre from flat to 35 PSI in just 2 minutes. That's faster than most portable competitors and significantly quicker than cigarette lighter-powered units.
The motor maintains consistent performance even during longer tasks, handling multiple tyres without needing cool-down periods. At full operation, it's about as loud as a household vacuum cleaner.
Battery life is respectable for the power output. Fully inflating four low tyres uses roughly half the battery capacity, leaving plenty for emergency use or other functions.
The flow rate remains decent across the pressure range, though it naturally slows as you approach maximum PSI like all portable compressors.
Value Assessment
At around £54, the RTC6000 sits in an interesting spot: cheaper than many premium cordless inflators but offering more functionality than basic models.
Is It Worth £54?
If you value multi-functionality, it can be. Getting a tyre inflator, power bank, and torch in one purchase makes sense for camping or long journeys where space matters.
For pure tyre inflation, you might question whether the extra features justify the size and weight. Dedicated inflators can be more compact and focused on doing one job well.
The comprehensive adaptor set adds value. Buying these separately would cost £20–30, making the complete package reasonably priced.
Price Comparison
Basic cordless inflators (£30–45) typically lack the power bank and torch functions. Premium models (£70–100) might inflate slightly faster but rarely offer the same multi-functionality.
The RTC6000 occupies a middle ground where the combination of features and price makes sense if you'll actually use the extra functions.
Why Choose Ordiniq's AutoPump Over the Ring RTC6000?
Ordiniq's AutoPump takes a different approach that suits drivers wanting better performance and flexibility.
While the RTC6000 tries to be everything—an inflator, power bank, torch, and airbed pump—the AutoPump concentrates on being an excellent tyre inflator first. Its compact design means it actually fits in glove boxes or door compartments, making it genuinely portable rather than boot-based.
The AutoPump's advanced temperature management prevents overheating during extended use, while its higher efficiency battery delivers more inflations per charge despite the smaller size.
For drivers who want reliability when they need it most, this focused approach often works better than jack-of-all-trades devices.
Sometimes having the right tool for each job beats having one tool that does everything adequately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does the Ring RTC6000's battery last?
The battery provides enough power for 4–5 car tyres from low pressure or 1–2 complete inflations from flat on a single charge. Battery life reduces in cold conditions.
Can it handle SUV and truck tyres?
Yes, the RTC6000 handles larger tyres fine, though you'll get fewer inflations per charge due to increased volume. The 2-minute inflation time applies to standard car tyres.
What's included in the 10-piece adaptor set?
Covers bicycle valves, sports equipment, airbeds, and various inflatables. All adaptors store in dedicated compartments in the included case.
Does the USB power bank function affect inflation performance?
Yes, using the power bank draws from the same battery that powers inflation. Heavy device charging will reduce available inflation capacity.
How does Ordiniq's AutoPump compare for focused tyre maintenance?
The AutoPump offers a more compact design for genuine portability, advanced temperature management, and integration with Ordiniq's Tyre Repair Kit for complete roadside solutions. For drivers wanting focused tyre maintenance tools rather than multi-purpose devices, it delivers better long-term reliability at a competitive price point.
