  • I don't sell any of these nor do I receive any remuneration if you buy them, and I have not personally reviewed them, they are listed here to give you perspective

Introduction

  • air pumps fall into one of two main groups:
    • high volume low pressure for inflatables
    • low volume, high pressure for car tyres
  • air pumps are generally very noisy and can only be used for a limited amount of time before the motor overheats
  • most hikers will pump up their sleeping mats by mouth as weight is everything to them and pumps just add unnecessary weight
  • but for those who don't mind carrying something extra, an air pump can be very handy, especially if it has other functionality
    • air pump itself can be used for:
      • inflating mattresses, water floating devices, kayaks, etc
      • deflating the above
      • deflating your clothing packing bags
      • providing air to stimulate your wood fire into action
    • some pumps are adequate to inflate air tents
    • some pumps are powerful enough to inflate car tyres
      • most of the small lithium hand held pumps will only be suitable for tyres up to small car size, owners of medium to large cars may prefer a dedicated 12V pump
      • 4WD owners who go off-road will frequently need to deflate/inflate the tires to suit conditions and a high quality heavy duty pump is required for the large 4WD tyres, preferably with ability to deflate to a preset pressure
    • some devices have additional functionality:
      • USB power bank to charge smart phones etc
      • torch/lantern
      • quite fan mode to cool down your tent
  • a pump becomes mandatory for larger items such as kayaks or large air beds
