Coleman Rechargeable Quick Pump

My Coleman QuickPump blower came with a housing that had a broken locking tab inside of it. You could hear it bouncing around when you would shake it. At the same time it would not run consistently. I thought this was the broken tab jamming the fan or something else - but I was wrong. After two weeks of disappointment I opened the housing to remove the broken tab and I saw a small label next to the DC 6V charging inlet (on the outside and back end of the housing) that said you have to remove the plug that is in the recharging hole to allow the blower to operate. After doing this the blower works great and all the time. If the tab wasn't broken leaving me to believe this was the problem I would have figured out that this plug must be removed sooner; and, if I would have not received this unit with the broken tab - and the resulting confusion and concern - I would have found this item to be excellent. By the way, I really don't plan to use this blower to inflate air cushions. I will be using it to get fires that use green or wet wood going! Because of the Emerald ash borer, we have to buy local wood which often is not so good. This blower helps me make do!!! BTW: Warning: You must ask camp fire attendees to move away before using!

We bought this pump for our air mattress when we go camping. It is great -- it took about 40 seconds to completely fill our full size mattress. We selected this pump because it was rechargeable and we don't always camp where there is electricity. It's also small, which makes it nice to pack and take along. Great price, too.

After charging the pump on Thursday, I was able to blow up 2 medium-sized rafts and my 2-person kayak on Friday. Then without recharging it, I used it Sunday to inflate my kayak. It works quickly, and is not too loud (not exactly quiet though.)

I have 3 or 4 of these low voltage air pumps and this one is so far superior to the others I'm going to throw the others away. Good job Coleman! Better air flow, easier use (good handle, easy grip, nice bayonet attachment on the tips), and longer battery life.

This inflates and deflates over and over without needing a charge. Will not over inflate though. Only .5 psi inflation at max. VERY IMPORTANT! You have to pull the tab out of the charge port on the back for it to work. Almost wanted to return it til I figured this out.
