This is an outstanding little pump. For the few dollars extra compared to other pumps you get a much higher quality porduct. Strong external case, excellent hose and attachments, compact size, and high volume pumping. It is a little loud but I would highly reccomend it!

It's a good pump, good quality housing, and really fast. The little red safety nozzle to protect overinflating is fantastic! This guy is LOUD, but it is fast so that makes up for it. You're not going to find a quiet pump in this range anyway. Good value for the money.

excellent product, quick to inflate and deflate.

Looking forward to use it when it warms up.

I used it to deflate 4 plastic rafts for a swimming pool. It works, but the hose tends to collapse on itself. I was able to get the job done by cupping my hand around the section that was collapsing and by stretching the hose out full length.

I devised a way to fix the problem. I bought some lightweight compression springs from the hardware dept at Home Depot. These are Everbilt p/n 685200. I used the two 23/32" x 3 1/2" springs. I stretched them out so each one was about 10 to 12 inches long. Then I screwed them into the large end of the main hose. Because they tend to compress a little while doing this, I used a wire hook to pull one of the springs all the way to the end of the hose. Now the hoses are reinforced against collapsing, just like a radiator hose.

I haven't tested it for inflation. But the hose collapsing problem won't be an issue when it's used for inflation.

This pump is very loud. You must use hearing protectors with this pump. I used some cheap Silencio RBW-71 hearing protectors and they worked very well (sold by Amazon).

I was looking for a pump to use at our home and lake home as there are many different things that require inflation. I just received my pump yesterday and was able to inflate 1 large and 2 medium fit-balls in under 5 minutes, from a flat state. I have a 10' lake lounger that this will probably fill in under 10 minutes.

Reviews posted a lot of critical feedback about noise. While the pump is loud, it is not loud for a pump that moves this much air. I was not irritated by the noise level while filling the fit balls. My cats were not fans, but I think most would use it outside. This pump makes half the noise of the Campbell-Hublfield 12v pump it is replacing.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality construction of the pump housing, it feels very durable, and a nice toggle for power. The hose is a little flimsy but did not collapse, I would imagine over time it might. Attachments are connected to the hose so they are not so easily lost. I would like to see a more durable hose (hard rubber or braid-wrapped) and while the quick-connect is nice I would rather see the hose attach to a threaded connector.

I give it 5-stars either way it is a quality product,

really loud, but super fast. when i first turned it on it about came out of my hand it was so powerful. I have an inflatable kayak and it does a great job on it. it clams it will go up to 2.5 psi but it does quite get there due to some leakage around the hose connections. it does make my kayak hard a rock though with no hand pumping afterwords.

This pump puts out a lot of air, but is loud loud loud. I blew up my child's inflatable pool using the included needle nozzle. Outside, sitting next to the pump inflating for about 3-4 minutes, my ear on the pump side was numb for quite a while. I will definitely be using ear plugs next time. But it's fast and high-pressure so I can't complain too much.

Great pump. Using it for towable's at the lake. Fast inflate/deflate times although it is a bit loud but nothing excessive. It moves a lot of air.

This pump does what it says it does. We are able to fill a very large water trampoline in approx. 10 minutes. This used to take us over a half hour with a large capacity inflatable hand pump, and we'd also tried it with a regular compressor which took longer than this pump also. Worth the purchase if you are looking at this to save energy and time.

this unit does a great job. Very loud but does a quick efficient job of blowing up rafts and other water towables.
