ADVANCED ELEMENTS12-Volt Pump

I purchased this 12v inflator to inflate a party raft that I recently purchased for my boat. It's a large raft so I needed a pump that would inflate it quickly AND provide enough pressure so I didn't need to top it off with another pump. This inflator works perfectly. It was quick, not too loud, and is small and light in your hand. The included adaptors snapped onto the pump and fit my raft perfectly. It also deflates (in reverse) in about the same amount of time. It's too early to say how durable it is, but I hope it holds up. If I encounter any issue(s), I'll update this post, otherwise assume it's still running great!

Proper inflation pressure is crucial to proper functioning of the Advanced Element inflatable kayak. This electric hand pump is more convenient than hand-pumping the kayak, but it will not achieve the required final pressure. So, as other reviewers have pointed out, you need the hand pump for the final inflation pressure top-up. But if you just use the hand pump alone, it's going to be tiresome and slow. This electric pump appears to draw at peak current more than 2 amps, and even if momentarily this is enough to prevent me from using my portable lithium power station (shuts down due to excessive current surge) and therefore I need a long 12v extension cord to power this from my vehicle 12v outlet since the 6 ft cord that is provided is just a bit too short to be convenient.

Plugged it in doesn’t turn on and doesn’t have correct adapter to fit advanced elements kayak. Wasted my money

At first I was very excited to try out this product. I thought that it would save a lot of time and effort over using the hand pump that I have. However, I was annoyed by this pump for two reasons. First, it was much slower than I expected. So, while it was certainly less difficult to partially inflate my kayak with this pump, it seemed to take longer than with the regular pump. Second, this pump is incredibly loud. I would certainly not have purchased this pump if I realized how loud it is. The purpose of kayaking, for me, is to go out and enjoy a day in nature. The pump is so obnoxious that it seriously impedes that while it is on.I used the pump once, and I haven't gone back to it. I still bring it along and I would use it in a pinch, but for now I am much happier with my hand pump.

Worked great for inflating a very large raft. I use it with a portable car starter 12 V battery on the dock and it was a whole lot easier than a foot pump. Also works as a deflator for pulling all the air out when packing it up. Comes with 3 nozzle sizes to fit various devices. TIP- don't cut the tie between the 3 nozzles. You will find that you need more than one on certain rafts and you won't lose them if they stay together.

Bought this to inflate my Advanced Elements Inflatable Kayak. However, it is underpowered and will not completely fill the main chambers of the kayak; they need to "topped off" with a hand pump. So you need two pumps. Cumbersome. A friend loaned me a beefier pump and it inflates the main chamber quickly and completely. I will return this item.

The pump is small but powerful with a long power cord.

it works good for water tubes, I havent really try it on anything else. I got this inflator back in 2011 and iv used it every summer work great for its size.lo recomiendo muy bueno

Works great, very fast
