Coleman Rechargeable QuickPump Air Pump with Hose Review

Coleman Rechargeable QuickPump Air Pump with HoseColeman's Quickpump is a handy device for those who own inflatable rafts, large flotation devices, air mattresses and other object s that require too much air to inflate manually. This air pump quickly fills up any inflatable object, saving you the huffing and puffing necessary to inflate the old fashioned way.

One of the many nice things about this pump is the fact that it is electric. Many air pumps- like those that are often included when purchasing an air mattress- are battery powered. This means that the batteries could fail at some point when you need the pump most, delaying your attempt to inflate your favorite flotation device. With Quickpump, you get electric, rechargeable energy. You just plug the pump into a socket, using the detachable cord, let it charge, and then take it directly to the item that needs to be inflated.

Coleman includes some different attachments for use on different valves (like a wider attachment for Boston valves) and it also includes a hose at the end for added convenience. With this hose, you can stand back, hold the base of the unit a short distance away, and direct the flow of air into the valve. This makes the use of the pump more comfortable.

This pump does have a few limitations. It will not work on objects that require a needle tip (like a basketball) or similar inflationary requirement. There are no adaptors for this, so you will not be able to use Quickpump. Also, keep in mind that this pump is a little on the noisy side. For something so compact (it weighs only about 4 pounds) it really makes a lot of noise.

Overall, this is a good pump to own for those who have large inflatable items that cannot be inflated by hand. The pump recharges quickly and efficiently, providing a constant, steady flow of air without the worry of having batteries fail. It makes a nice choice of gift for campers and others who need a solid, reliable air pump that they can count on.

Texsport Rechargable Electric Pump Review

Texsport Rechargable Electric PumpAfter using a hand pump for two years, this product was a welcomed change. We bought it and needed to use it immediately for some guests we had. The disappointment was, it has to be charged. It doesn't work by just plugging it in. You have to charge it over night which for us, was too late. When we finally had it charged it worked great, so quickly. As long as you remember to charge it the day before (ish), you'll be pleased.

Coleman High Performance Rechargeable Pump - Red/ Grey Review

Coleman High Performance Rechargeable Pump - Red/ GreyI bought this rechargeable pump for use with an inflatable boat.I was initially looking for the earlier model of the Coleman Rechargeable Quick Pump, but could not find it in my local Target store.It is about 3 dollars more and is slightly larger.

Took it on a 3 day boating trip, having to inflate a 14 foot boat(With NARU valvles) 4 times.Now the adapters did not fit the valves (too small), but sufficiently inflated the boat by placing the pump directly in the valve. It inflated fast considering the size of the boat.

Each time the pump stayed on for about 5 minutes.Since then I've used it 2 more times(6 total) without recharging (which is about 30-40 minutes of total battery use) and surprisingly there's no faintness in the power of the air pump.

It's a little loud, but compared to a friend's Coleman Pump I mentioned above, it is noticeably quieter.It also has a little storage bay on the back of the pump to put the nozzle heads, which is nice, but it is slightly loose so be careful not to lose them.This is definitely a handy pump to have that would work on all sorts of inflatable items.Overall i'm very happy with this pump.

UPDATE:The charger lasted even longer than I mentioned, and finally died after 9 uses over the span of a month.That's approximately 45-55 minutes of the pump turned on before discharging.

Intex Giant Bellows Foot Pump Review

Intex Giant Bellows Foot PumpNot useful for inflatable kayaks, it doesn't allow for any air pressure & back-flows while you're pumping. You can't get the kayak rigid enough with this.

Coleman 120V Electric Quick Pump Review

Coleman 120V Electric Quick PumpIf you want to blow up low pressure items (toys, beach balls, mattresses, small pools, etc.), this pump works great and VERY fast. It can also be used to deflate these items quickly and completely. However, if you want to pump up bike or car tires or hard balls like basketballs or footballs, look elsewhere. It doesn't have the oompf or the adapter to do those things. Why the previous reviewer thought it worked on bike tires, I can't imagine, since you can see from the picture that it doesn't come with the appropriate adapter. Plus, it is really just a fan, not a compressor. If you need portability, buy the 12V rechargeable one. This one needs 120 VAC current.
