AIRHEAD AIR Pig Pump

I recently used the Airhead Air Pig Pump, and it exceeded my expectations. This pump hooks up directly to a 12-volt battery, making it convenient for use on the go. I connected it to my boat battery.The Air Pig Pump made quick work of inflating a large pull-behind tube, two paddle boards, and several floats. The power and efficiency of this pump are impressive, saving me a lot of time and effort compared to manual pumps.The Airhead Air Pig Pump is an good choice. It's easy to use, and a must-have for boating.

This has worked well for us. I prefer the direct battery attachment and the cables are nice and long. The air hose is a little stiff and I am not a fan of the pressure relief/limiter but otherwise it is nice and compact and effective.

My Wife used this once last summer and it worked great. Tried it just over a year later and it ran for a couple of seconds then quit. They've made it so you can't check the inner workings or wiring, so we're just out $40!

This air pump is great for its small size, but not the most powerful one I've had. I've also owned the AHP-120S (Super) AIRHEAD AHP-120S Super Pump for Inflatables, 120V as well as the AHP-120 AIRHEAD AHP-120 Air Pump 120 voltI found this pump to be much better than the AHP-120, but I prefer the AHP-120S (Super) because it's so much faster for blowing up inflatables.QUICK OBSERVATIONSPower Consumption: 3.5A / 470 WattsPressure: 2.2 PSICord Length: 10 feet (no ground)Hose Length: ~2.5 feetPROS-SMALL SIZE: This air pump is pretty small (much smaller than the AHP-120S) and light. It's easier to move around than the AHP-120 as well.-BUILD QUALITY: The air hose seems to be better quality than a lot of air pumps I've seen, and the motor sounds pretty good when it runs (doesn't rattle).-VALUE: Though this air pump is far from perfect - I still find it to be the best pump in its price range. I definitely prefer the much faster AHP-120S pump though, and ultimately returned this pump in favor of the larger one. I also found the higher PSI of the AHP-120S pump to be beneficial to me, but this air pump might be enough depending on what its used for.CONS-OVERHEATS EASILY: The pump seemed to overheat kind of easily for me - after using it for a while the air output would get pretty darn hot as well as the unit itself. If you get any sort of resistance (as your inflatable gets filled more) there isn't enough air flowing through the unit to keep the motor cool.-NOT ENOUGH PSI: This pump really struggled to blow up anything more than pool toys for me - it didn't have enough power to inflate a larger balloon more than a foot or so. If you look closely there are a couple of holes in the air hose - I assume these are here to keep the resistance low and ensure there is enough air flowing through the unit. I don't like this as there is a lot of air that gets "wasted" by going out these small holes instead of into the inflatable. The larger AHP-120S air pump didn't have this design - all of the air went into the inflatable with that pump.-NOISE: I measured this pump at 90 dB, which is pretty loud. I found the more powerful AHP-120S to not be any louder than this pump.Despite the flaws I listed, I still decided to give this unit four stars because there isn't really a better alternative that I've found at its price. If you can justify the cost I definitely found the AHP 120S to be superior though.

Fills up inner tubes very fast. I bring it with me in the boat in case I have to refill a towable tube. Well designed with four nozzle options. I only had one user error with it... the first time I used it, I filled up the tube but didn't seal the tube correctly. It started to leak so I pulled out the pump and began filling it back up, only to find out that I was sucking the air out of the tube rather than putting more air into it. Be careful which side you hook up the hose to BEFORE you fill. Great dependable air pump.

I bought the one that hooks to your battery on your boat I have a huge 8-ft tube to take to the lake it'll inflate it in less than 4 minutes go by your one

It is much quieter (which is awesome), but the pressure isn't as much as the other model. It struggled with inflating our Aquaglide Fiesta to a firm level. For basic inflatables -lounge chairs, etc, it will probably be fine. If you really need your tube or other large inflatable hard as a rock, i would buy the other model - http://www.amazon.com/AIRHEAD-AHP-12HP-High-Pressure-Pump/dp/B000OF92KA/ref=pd_sim_468_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=1WAABTDZQJ131Y3CKRFS

Five Star product! Being able to purchase quality boating accessories in the most trusted brands from the comfort of home is wonderful. Item arrived ahead of schedule, was packaged securely, and as usual Amazon delivers the items to my front door at about half the price of local retailers!This is my second AirHead pump. These things are wonderful for airing up even the largest of inflatables for pulling behind your boat. I have used these on an almost daily basis during the boating season for years. They are loud, but they are fast!

Very compactWorks great for all inflatablesWe use it for our shock ball3 person towable and our party island.

jadore cette petite pompe cest une merveille pour souffler des tubes gonflable, je le recommander a tous

Waiting for boat season in Ontario Canada but have tried it out in basement and very powerful. Looks like it will work great.

Not very powerful for a 3 person tube

Out of the box, the air hose had holes drilled into it ( i am sure they are not meant to be there) that lets air escape, rendering the pump useless. It improved when i taped over the holes, but air gets forced out around the switch. I expected much better quality for $90.
