Excellent product --thank-you Coleman. I am using this vs my other hand/foot pumps and electrical pumps.

Surprisingly Good

This pump is much better than i expected it to be. I thought it was going to be a cheap piece of plastic junk, and, it is all plastic, but it works well anyway. It fills a queen mattress in less than ten minutes. It's not hard to pump. It is very quiet (not like a crazy loud 4D battery Coleman pump i had that took forever and finally died after a year's use) so it won't disturb your campground neighbors if you happen to arrive in camp sort of late (as we inevitably seem to do.) It's fairly large and bulky, not compact at all, but great for car camping. Highly recommended if you are 'roughing it' with an air mattress.

Very Frusterating

I'll start by saying that I love Coleman products. This pump was so frustering, the hose is not attached because of the dual action, but there was absolutely no way I could get it attached to either nozzle, it just would not go on. Luckily I have 3 weeks before my trip and I can get a different one, with single action and an attached hose. I spent two days thinking "there must be some way to attach this, this is what it is supposed to do." All the time getting more and more frusterated. If you don't have enough time to return it if this happens to you, then I would look at another pump.

not quite picture perfect, but A-OK

The handle was smaller than what the picture showed.
That meant the pump itself was actually much bigger than expected and took up twice as much space in my bag and had to re-pack twice.
No real complaint though since after all the other folks started running out of battaries on thier battary operated pumps, this pump was still 4 times faster with only a bit of honest pumping and no disposal of dead battaries.

Excellent and Fast

I originally bought this pump and an electric, as I was going to use this as a backup pump. However, this pump can inflate my full size canoe in 2.5 minutes, and is faster and easier than the electric, so I gave the electric pump away.

Works well if you get one without a seam leak

Nearly Perfect

Kind of bulky but a large size is necessary to produce such an efficient manual powered air pump. It is very light weight and sure to outlast several air mattresses.

Love it!

Not only does this work beautifully to pump up an air mattress, but it fans a dying campfire too. Just aim the biggest nozzle at the glowing coals and start pumping. Instant flames.

It takes me only a minute or so to blow up my twin-sized thick air mattress. My camping buddy's battery-powered pump takes three times as long and requires four D batteries. Who wants to worry about dead or weak batteries in the middle of the woods?

If you're looking for an air pump go with the manual one. It's fast, easy and doesn't cost a dime to operate. Let the foolish campers worry about where to plug in their electric pumps or where to buy batteries when the old ones fail.

Perfect.

This is the perfect pump for an air mattress. It comes with other attachments too. It's easy to use and the best part is NO BATTERIES required! I'd recommend this to anyone.

Works well

Works as it is suppose to (read the directions to understand it has double action). Good value.
