Review on πŸš€ BTP Mano Advanced Two-Stage Electric Turbo Pump: Ideal for Inflatable Kayaks, SUPS, and Boats - Unlock Maximum Performance! by Marcus Merritt

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The worst device mankind has ever invented.

Passed two of these before giving up. A #1 block self-destructed on first use. Pieces of the impeller flew out of the hose into my canoe like crispy potato chips. Block #2 worked 6 inflations before the honeymoon was over and it showed what an electromechanical hole it really was. Stable photos included. The low pressure turbine is lapped against contact with the casing. The drive wheel of the high-pressure piston pump has been completely dismantled. The wreck photo is a mixture of gearbox wreck and engine brush wreck. (Yes - it sparkled like a July 4th pinwheel when it worked). I'll take my share of the blame as I never did my homework before purchasing. The label proudly states "Designed in Italy by Scoprega". I looked it up. Scoprega is a dual-use facility outside of Rome that has both a kindergarten and an asylum for the criminally insane. Not sure which side of the house this winner appeared on. The letters of the alphabet in the BRAVO logo make me think maybe it was a kindergarten. The CE stamp and list of patents, on the other hand, make me think of criminal inspiration. Maybe it was a joint project. They referred to the patent numbers proudly printed on the label. It turns out this is: Patent #301337767.1 Title: Apparatus and Method for Feeding Plastic Chips. #20181550.5 Name: Universal Infernal Machine. #20197288.3 Title: A new way to express multiple failure modes in minimal quantity. Should have done my homework before buying. Don't buy any of them. Take a moment to think about all those Italian 6-year-olds and Hannibal Lecter guys who laugh at you when it comes to a belly.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not bad
