Review on πŸ’ͺ Powerful and Reliable: Airhead High Pressure Air Pump, 12v, Yellow (AHP-12HP) by Bill Dahl

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Overpriced, broke after 1.5 months

Update: This unit stopped working after a dozen uses. I opened the engine case and there was a small belt snapped between the engine and the fan. Very bad design and I can't even get it back now. Don't waste your money on this garbage. On the plus side it works well, definitely faster than those rechargeable air pumps. I basically used it to inflate my 5 person Intex raft and it did the job in just 5 minutes! I used a 79Ah battery and checked the voltage before and after. The voltage drop was barely noticeable, it drew about 0.2 volts, so that's cool. Cons: The pump is much smaller, lighter and cheaper than I expected. I have a feeling it won't be long now. The instructions are useless and I still can't figure out what the red plastic element is doing. And there are no markings on the motor, box or directions showing voltage, power, input range, cc. feet per minute or something like that. It looks like something you can buy at a truck service station and I think it's overpriced, but there weren't many other 12v pump options.
