Coleman Rechargeable Quick Pump

Designed for inflating and deflating beds, boats, and other inflatable items, this cordless, rechargeable electric pump makes the chore fast and easy. It works with Coleman double-lock and quick valves, Boston valves, and pinch valves, and is compatible with all Coleman beds and inflatables, as well most other inflatable products. It does not, however, work with stem and needle valves, such as those in basketballs, bike tires, etc. For valves other than pinch valves, there's an adapter nozzle, and for pinch valves there's a separate adapter. The pump inflates from one end and deflates from the other. A plug-in transformer comes with the pump to charge the battery.

Customer feedback:

1. When I purchased my Coleman Comfort Control Quickbed (a decision I was less than thrilled with for many reasons), I found that I desperately needed an Air Pump and opted for this model after carefully weighing my other options. The reason I decided on this was because:
(1) of the name-brand,
(2) the fact that it seemed to be very handy with its recharging abilities and with its lightweigh features,
(3) the fact that my lungs cannot substitute for the action of my machine superior,
(4)and because it came with more accessories that were easily seen inside its packaging than all the other pumps on display at the time (perhaps not the best reasoning behind a buy, but the one I used anyhow).
2. I bought this pump in conjunction with a Coleman Comfort Control Air Mattress and I'm very pleased with both. The pump filled the air mattress firmly in under a minute when plugged in, and the pump seems to hold a charge quite well. The nozzles included make the pump ideal when inflating a Coleman air mattress, as they're custom made for each other. The air pump takes the next step, though, in including additional nozzles that would (presumably) enable one to easily fill other inflatable items (short of a basketball or bike tire). The only minor annoyance to me was that the pump is quite noisy. If you're planning to use this at the campground, try to make sure you get your business done before other campers go to bed, especially if you're in close proximity. (Also, this product would have been pretty close to perfect if it had 9V car adapter capability.) Outside of that, this is a very efficient air pump - the price is more than worth the assurance that I won't have to spend an hour laid out on the tent floor getting chapped lips from blowing up the air mattress.
