AIRHEADManual Foot Pump for

I have to say, I was really surprised by this foot pump. I've never used one before, and based on some negative reviews, I wasn't expecting much, but it was cheap so I figured, why not? First of all, I was surprised that it wasn't particularly tiring to use. I thought it would exhaust me, but it didn't. I also thought it was very clever that the pump has some kind of one-way valve, so even if you pump a bit, then take a break, the pressure from the valve doesn't allow the air you've just pumped into the mattress to come flying back out again. I confess, we didn't use it to pump the whole mattress. We just used it to "top up" the amount of air that leaked out every night. But it was quick, handy, cheap, much quieter than my hand held battery pump, and easy to use. AND it got the air mattress firmer than the battery pump alone. Some reviews said you need two people to use it, because one person has to hold the tube into the air mattress valve. We did not find this to be the case. And with the dizzying array of size adjusting attachments included, I'm mystified as to how the people who claim it won't stay in managed to even let it fall out. Go ahead and buy this pump. It's worth the few bucks.

I've had this one for a couple years and use it frequently both indoors and outdoors for gym ball, mattresses, pool toys, rafts, and balloons. It is easy to pump, super reliable, and inflates fast. I would highly recommend this one!

Maybe this is an unfair review. I bumped my rating up to 4* since I am not using it for its designed purpose. I bought two of these for stomp rockets as part of STEM outreach. We had lots of kids stomping on this thing to launch their rockets. The first time they held up wonderfully. Second time a kid kicked off one of the hoses since it attaches right where your foot stomps down. Third outing and both hose attachment points were destroyed and the walls of the bellows started to separate from the footpads/basepads. We had lots of kids stomping on these things ... so again not a fair review... they just didn't hold up the way I was hoping they would. I'm probably going to buy one or two more and build some type of frame so the kids can't stomp on where the hose comes out of the bellows. I don't see a product on the market better aligned with my use. The stomp rocket kits seem like flimsy pieces of junk :(

This foot pump is great for inflatables. I was looking for an air pump to take on my boat to inflate water toys for the kids and inflatable lounges and floats for the adults. It pushes a whole bunch of air and works really fast. We take a lot of floats with us and I didn't want to run down my battery so I was looking for a mechanical foot pump since it is easier to push with your feet. This pump works great. Someone took away stars because it slips on the boat surface. That is correct because it is made of hard plastic it slides easily on the boat fiberglass deck. But I put a towel under it and it solves the problem. Really, come on, you either have a good all around pump that you can take on a boat with minimum parts to rust (the band is metal but I thought of replacing it with a long sturdy zip tie). The band is the only part that will rust. But I used it on my boat in salt water all this summer and there is no rust on it. I do clean it as soon as I get home. I like that you can switch the hose from the intake to the outtake. This helps in deflating also. I recommend it and will buy it again if this one brakes.

Lots of adapters. This is the first pump i got with paddleboard attachment. Mu h easier to use foot pump than a hand pump. Plus the air tube is much lknger than most pumps. Good value

If you don't have a electric pump, this is a solid choice to pump your inflatable kayak. It comes with all standard valve insert types and it can easily be stowed in the vessel!

The pump feels well built, easy to use but takes longer to inflate an air mattress than using a battery powered pump. However a battery powered pump will not make an air mattress as firm as this foot pump.I prefer the foot pump so that way I don’t have to remember to always have extra batteries for a powered pump, plus as I mentioned, this pump will make an air mattress more firm.The pump collapses quite flat for storage, comes with various tips to inflate various what not.

This pump works well enough, and is a great price. A third party site reviewed and recommended this pump as a top option which is why I bought it. It is lightweight and more compact than the original Avon pump made from plywood that it replaced. It should service my needs for the foreseeable future, but it does feel cheaply manufactured. Although traction has been molded into the the surface areas, it offers no grip inside a boat because these surfaces are made of hard slippery plastic. Needs some softer, rubbery compound on the top and bottom panels. If the price weren't so good on this item and I based my rating solely on construction it would be a stretch to even grant two stars.

Muy buen producto. Al inicio pensé que solo duraría 3 usos, pero me a servido muy óptimamente para inflar mi kayak en menos de 8 min. Lo recomiendo.

thanks

Es una bomba bien construida, con varias boquillas y entradas para inflar diversos tipos de artículos

heavy duty, works well

Works well except the washer at the tip is loose and not thick enough for a good seal. As one approaches 2 PSI it starts leaking and one has to manually secured it with one hand so one is all bent over in a crouch pumping with one leg holding the hose in the valve… it is all cheap and flimsy.
