Preset pressure cut-off is the feature, not the maximum bar rating · review
Hofeny Cordless inflator with 5 modes and torch review
The entry cordless inflator here, with five preset inflation modes, a torch at the tip for night-time repairs and a design the maker describes as quieter than comparable units.
Our conclusion The cheapest way to stop pumping by hand. The missing pressure figure is the one thing to confirm if you run high-pressure road tires.
Hofeny’s inflator is the entry point to the category, and it covers the basics with one genuinely thoughtful addition.
What the manufacturer publishes
Fast inflation compared with manual pumping. Five intelligent inflation modes for precise control of the process. A torch at the tip for inflating outdoors at night. A design described as quieter than comparable products.
The torch
Small, and the sort of thing you only appreciate once. A puncture at the roadside after dark means holding a phone in your teeth. A light built into the tip of the pump, pointing at the valve, removes that.
The preset modes
Setting a target and having the pump stop there is the whole point of an electric inflator. Five presets cover the common cases without needing to dial a number in every time.
What is not published
A maximum pressure, a battery capacity, and inflations per charge. All three are published by the units above it in this hub, and all three matter — particularly the pressure if you run road tires at 6 to 8 bar. Where a manufacturer states nothing, we say so.
Availability

The questions riders ask
What are the five modes for?
Preset targets for different objects — Hofeny describes intelligent inflation modes so the pump stops at the right pressure for the item rather than requiring a manual setting each time.
What pressure does it reach?
Hofeny does not publish a maximum pressure figure on this listing. Where a manufacturer publishes no figure, we report the absence rather than estimating one.
Our score
6.9/ 10
