I just got this pump a couple of weeks ago, and it has performed great! It inflates my Coleman kayak in less than 10 minutes without straining (blowing it up without it took over 1/2 hour and feeling like I was going to throw up). It has a very simple mechanism that disassembles easily for educational or repair purposes. A big advantage is that it can be used to suck the air out of things just by switching the hose to the other end, which is great for collapsing the kayak into the smallest bundle.

I purchased the intex easy set pool which was very easy to assemble only part that was a little tricky was the ladder any way this pump blew that top ring up in 3 minutes try doing all that by mouth!! This pump is an excelent value at that price becuase it pumps both in the upward and downward strokes as your pumping which cuts your time in 1/2 (half). I recommend this to anyone that would like to inflate pool toys, pools, etc. with out passing out.

We first made the purchase for the Wet Set Whale Rider and then utilized it frequently for the Intex JumpOlene. It inflates and deflates in record time without the use of batteries.

My son is able to use it with ease. This measures about 19 inches from the black handle to the red base, while the hose comes to 40 inches. The red base has a flat surface with the two holes for the hose to be inserted. The hole to the left has the arrow pointing up indicating this is for inflating. The hole on the right side has the arrow facing down to be used for deflating items. The handle is easy to twist off and pull out. There is a plastic ring divider with two other black tubes in this suction cup container.

In order to maneuver the hose to fit into the intended slot it is necessary to squeeze it just so and jimmy it into the hole. The nozzles are attached to the top part of the hose and need to be fastened before sticking it in the hole of the item needing to be inflated.

I have used it both with bare feet while indoors and with shoes on with no problems either way. I also used this for an air mattress and it was a cinch.

There are times when we become over zealous with our pumping and cause the hose to pop out of the socket. In just a minute it can be fixed and pumping can resume. The bottom part of the base once you turn it over has a black cover that appears to be secured by six slots secured into the portion of the pump.

A good tool to use for all your home inflating needs and can get the kids involved in the process too.

This pump will pump you up! It works beautifully at inflating not only your pool, toys, and balls- but your muscles as well!! It is definitely faster than a single mini pump! If you plan on inflating something large with it- I would say you will either need to tag team someone or be in really good shape. I inflated and Intex pool with it, and by the next day my arms and abs felt it. Love the added extra bo nus of a workout! But for real, it is a great product and came with 3 different filling 'needles' perfect for anything from pools to playgroud balls.

This pump is great for small jobs like blowing up balls and small inflatable objects. However, we bought it to inflate a jump castle and had to really work up a sweat to do the job!! Talk about getting your exercise!! So, buy this pump for the small jobs, but invest in an electric one for the big jobs!!

I purchased one of these pumps about 1 year ago. I used it to pump up an inflatable ball pit and it worked great. It inflates things quickly due to the output of air on both the up and down strokes. However, after using it only 6-8 times, the inner mechanism was not working properly and when it did still pump, the amount of air being pumped was reduced. Finally, it would not pump air at all. Not a great bargain at over a dollar per use. : (

In layman's terms, it sucked. Yes it did everything it was said to and more, but about 4 minutes after i opened it up and tried to use it, it broke. I put a little water on the needle and on my basketball and pumped it up. When I tried to take it out, the end nozzle separated from the needle. I couldn't even get the needle out, so I ended up having to cut open the basketball...But it did pump really well.

We got the pump for use with a kayak and it works very well and we can get out on the water within 10 minutes. I really like it versatility for the deflate it is great.

talk about filling up the pool fast!! I love this pump, just a shame that it doesn't fill bike tires, i would actually pay more for this pump just to have that feature

This product is excellent especially for the price. Last summer I blew my sons pool up myself and I thought I would pass out! So this year I broke down and bought this pump and am I glad! It worked great and the 3 attached nozzel heads make it easy to switch, and find, for someone who misplaces everyting like me. You can't do without it!
