Review on πŸ’¨ Intex Quick-Fill Electric Air Pump 110-120V - High Air Flow of 21.2CFM by Tony Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Surprisingly effective

This product is small but effective at inflating a large paddling pool in just 4-5 minutes. It also sucks in air well so the pool can be folded up for storage - it's back in its original packaging which is a first in this house for such a product. This pump works well for small to medium sizes. , easily inflated items for which a hand or foot pump would present a problem. It gets hot so for larger jobs it would help to keep an eye on the temperature to avoid overheating, although to be honest I've used it outdoors at 90F. The nozzles are exactly the same as in the picture and efficient air delivery requires the pump to be close to what is being pumped in order for the nozzle and receiver to be tight. There is no flexible line to allow air to flow from the pump to the nozzle. Due to the need for proximity, there may be times when your head is quite close to the pump during operation. The pump is quite loud, so if you're concerned about hurting your ears, a pair of earbuds or headphones is recommended. This is very helpful advice. The pump is far from the noise class of a chainsaw. There is no pressure gauge and the jets do not fit small inflatable rubber tires, such as those found on a bicycle or wheelbarrow. Because of the performance we would buy it again. Performance is better than I expected based on the price, and the Revain was better priced than local retailers.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Good but not great
