Reader Reviews
This unit gets two stars for compactness and relative ease of use. However, these benefits are of little avail when the unit is so power hungry that all but the most powerful, brand new and expensive batteries will keep the unit going for more than a few minutes. I installed some brand-new alkaline batteries (not Duracell, but not junk either at $6 for the required four D's) and set out to inflate my Coleman air bed. Before the bed was fully inflated, the unit began to puff and wheeze and emit an ungodly shrieking noise, ultimately dying out on me and leaving the bed 3/4 inflated. I installed some brand-new Energizers and the pump came back to life, but even these began to drain before long.
The bottom line is that the power demands of this pump will leave you spending a king's ransom on batteries. Only fresh Duracells or Energizers will do the job, and even they won't last for long (and there is no AC adapter to give your wallet a rest when a plug outlet is available!).
Spend the extra $10-15 on Coleman's rechargeable model, which has been very well-reviewed here on Amazon. The money you save on batteries will pay for the better unit many times over.
