- This video is my independent review and demonstration of the handy rechargeable battery powered Bosch Easy Pump. It shows it being used to top up the inflation of a car tyre / tire and pump up a high pressure Schrader / Presta bike tyre. This video shows how to use it along with some tips and pros and cons based on my usage of this portable compressor or pump. Includes the unboxed compact product with the USB-C charging with an adjustable set point in Bar PSI or kpa.
Thanks for the video, helped me figure out my Bosch EasyPump adapter didn't have the sealing ring inside which prevented it from inflating my bike tires more than 25 PSI.
One tip though: don't always top up the battery as that will cause it to deteriorate quicker. Only top it up right before use, when you want to store it for later use, charge it to 75% (three bars)
Was that a mistake or does it normally come with the sealing ring?
@@Raumance it should come with one
I think mine is the same. How did you fix it? Did you buy another adapter?
@@adrianbuzea445 I returned it to the shop as I had only purchased it recently and got a new one with a sealing ring. If yours doesn't have one it's basically a factory defect and you're eligible for a return.
If that's too late for you, you always try to find one of the right size. I can imagine that should just work.
brilliant and no terrible music well done sir
you are welcome
Great video. Clear and without any gimmicks. I think I prefer this to the analog one. Would have bought the analog otherwise. Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
I have been used this about a year and its good and compact and can be charged with a charger of a samsung mobile phone :)
I want to buy it for myself as a Christmas present. have both bikes and cars in my family
I have just purchased one on Amazon. Many thanks for a wonderful demonstration 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this, just ordered one after watching, cheers 👍🏻
That thing seems perfect for my bicycle and kickscooter tires, I think I will be getting one.I never know how much air I am putting in with a basic handpump, probably needs to be more.
thank you very much. this answered 95% of my questions in regard to the product (the only thing i'm left wondering is if it can handle offroad tires on one charge, since they take in a larger volume of air). fairly certain it can get oyu out of a pinch in most situations
They will also be lower pressure so should be okay. I have used it to inflate two road tyres 32mm to 85psi okay
Can it deflate? An example being if my car tyre is currently on 40psi and i want to reduce it to 36psi. Thank you in advance.
No it can't, it only inflates
For deflate ?
Press the pin 📌
Thanks for the review, very helpful
I see this video is from 2 years ago. I'm thinking of getting one can anyone indicate reliability of this product. there are sooo many on the market its hard to nail down a good one..Alot of ppl are saying that after a year theirs broke down. Appreciate your input and recomendations.
I use this every week to top up bike tyres and car tyres monthly. The unit is still going strong.
Hi! Thanks for the review! It seems a little noisy on camera… Air compressor pumps usually are… How noisy would you say this is subjectively or compared to other inflators if you’re able to comment? Cheers
Good point and I should have made a comment on this. The noise really is not an issue, I used to run one that ran from the car's battery this unit is a lot quieter, not silent of course, but a lot better than others I have used. I did have the camera on tripod quite close so it picked up more noise than it would have done if camera was at normal "ear" height.
@@dodeedo okay thanks! That’s what I would have thought. Being a 3.6 V tool I thought it would surely have to be quieter than most similar which are all twelve volt at the least, even ones with their own battery inbuilt. I value my hearing so noise is a significant consideration for me hahah. Thanks for your reply!
I’m with you on the hearing. The big advantage is you can set it and walk away which radically reduces the noise. If I take a few steps away it is no louder than a car driving past
@@dodeedo ah yes that's true… Good point
71dB is the official figure found it in the manual
Great video mate, think it comes in the bag so you can fit it in the glove box instead of boot or trunk for the Yanks 😂👍
So I have a similar product from Xiaomi and basically, the only issue with that is that the charge-trough is not supported (you cannot use it while charging it). Is it possible with this one?
No it is not. however it does get enough power in to top a tyre up within 5-10 minutes. My advice in the video is to top it up after use then you are always ready to go
the mini compressor sold at Lidl allows charge thru but it blows the plug and a fuse in your car 😅
How long does it take to pump a fully flat tire at 2.5 bar, how much battery is left after 1tire cycle (i.e. how many tires a fully charged battery can pump) and how long does it take to charge an empty battery at 100% ?
I topped up 8 tyres, and it used half the battery power I would not advise it for full inflation, its not designed for high volume continuous use. Use an air line or foot pump for the initial high volume inflation then finish with the pump would be a better idea.
I know this video is old and i don't know if you still reply. But out of curiosity, where do you read its not made for fully flat tyres? It says it can do up to 10.3 bar after all on the package.
How many minutes would it pump from fully charged
I like the part that you dont have to adjust the pump with crazy unscrewing for presta.
I'm heating engineer and looking at something to pump up expansion vessels....to 1 bar. Is it well made and does it get hot when. In use
I use it most for bike tyres to 5-6bar so application easy for it. Generally does not get hot. Only time I’ve noticed heat is actually when battery very low. If using once a day should be good. If using several times an hour you may want a full compressor imho. I’ve used it every week for a few years now and still going. And used to higher pressures.
Nice review - very helpful.
Amazes me why they don't include an adaptor that just detaches from the valve quickly. With the screw in one you lose air!
I guess with that small power it can not handle any leak which is more than common with regular connectors (at least in my case).
Anyway thank you for review but manual pump seems to be faster, cheaper and way more silent.
Common misconseption. It’s not the air coming out of tire but the air that is inside pump’s hose escaping. You can confirm this when you reconnect the pump and it shows 0,2 bar or so less pressure.. wait a minute now you ask that’s less pressure than before! Yes it is as you reconnect and the valve opens some some of the tire pressure goes into the pump’s hose and that’s why it shows less pressure. So you lose pressure when you connect the pump but not when disconnecting.
I put a quick release adaptor on mine.
Any good for air beds?
Good for topping up. For initial inflation I would use a large volume pump or one of the small pumps that run from car battery
To the point
Cheers buddy 👍👍
How many pumps does the battery last?
Or, for example, how much battery is used to inflate four tires in a car?
The pump is quite capab;e of topping up 8 tyres, 2 or 3 times. However it is not a high volume pump so would not want to use it to inflate 4 tyres from flat.
You have had it a while now. Is it still working? I have heard they don't last long. Thanks.
Yes I use it twice a week for bike tyres to 85 psi. and it is still going. I will post when it fails
If the battery goes bad, is it easy to replace?
as easy as ordering a new one I guess 😄
Thanks for the nice review
Glad you liked it

Hi, nice vid.
So actually u can inflate any motorcycle with it? is the gauge accurate ? Does it have one , right?
Yes if it has a standard valve. The readings are very repeatable, I have not been able to calibrate it to see what the accuracy is, but I'm that it is better than the dial type pumps.
My friend the adaptor is included ? Or did u buy separatedly
The 3 adaptors are included and store in side the handle. The usb cable is also included but not the mains adaptor is not. Most of us have these to charge phones anyway
where is the usb cable socket to charge it ?
It is at the base of the unit so easy to plug any usb-c cable into
Can you take out air from the tire with?
No. Inflate only
You can just screw it up halfway so it opens the valve a little bit and the tire deflates
A venerable Black & Decker Air Station still does yeoman's work after more than 30 years, but it needs 50’ of extension cord and that gets a bit tiresome!
This unit is so easy
Hi just got one after watching video
Got it to pump up Ebike tyres @ 60psi
It seems to take a long time and went to 40psi ? So took it off inflates
Was your video done in real time?or how long did it take to get it up to 70psi?
Thanks
The video was real time but I was only topping up not inflating. The higher the pressure the longer it takes to increase the pressure I think. A suggestion would be to use hand pump for the first easy bit. Then let the pump do the more difficult last half
Thanks for the review! How is the battery holding up over time? 🔋
I've not spotted this as an issue, we tend to recharge after use then check and top up tyres every month or so, battery says it it is still fully charged
@@dodeedo Great to hear! Thanks for the swift response! 🙏
Can you use it as a gun to clean stuff?
I would say no. This is a high pressure low volume pump so not enough to use with a blow gun
How much is it?
ur bike has 70 psi?.. my pick up is just 35 psi
rule of thumb thinner tyres run at higher pressure, just swapped tyres and new ones are upto 105 psi
@@dodeedo wow.. ok didn't know that
Would this seat tubeless road bike tyres 700c on the rim like an air compressor
It should do. It is a portable compressor after all.
@@dodeedo what G4ry was asking is, that road bicycles have a tubeless setup where to seat the tire to the rim you need to deliver huge amount of air in a short time, more like a burst to make the tire to expand fast and seat it to the rim hooks. I think this pump has no fast throughput.
No, it doesn't put out the air fast enough to seat tubeless tires. You will need a tank style compressor or a pump designed for tubeless-seating.
Not an smart idea to leave the unit on the flor, will suck dirty / dusty air = high risk to damage the unit.
Didn’t work with my mountain bike
What is your technical problem? I want to buy this exact model, but now I am reconsidering it.
pretty loud
Not sure if it measures pressure correctly czcams.com/video/3KqWBYRjeyQ/video.htmlsi=Y-Q5c3yABxDKNJQS
I would trust this as Bosch have a lot of experience with sensors over a low cost analogue dial. When I test the readings are very repeatable which is a sign of accuracy
Good product, battery is too bad for car tires.
It tops up 8 tyres on our cars without issue, agree you may not want to do this from completely deflated but most tyres only need topping up, it does this well
@@dodeedo Is the battery replacement? Like if you use it for 2 years and the battery no longer holds charge, is it easy to buy a new battery and replace the old one? Any ideas?
@@nicotri9722 did you find a replacement battery?
Useful review, thanks. Video done poorly.
Thank you for the comments. These are videos I have done myself and reflect my genuine views which I hope others find useful. They are not and will not be done in expensive studios as advertising. I try to do the best I can with the equipment I have so please excuse the lack of professional polish etc.
In other words, Geez singer son, what do you want for your money!!
