You MUST have a "backup"!!!
I bought this item along with a Coleman Queen Mattress. 30 mi N of Durango and a long, long way from civilization, I found this thing didn't hold a charge after 12 hrs of charging. After trying to blow the mattress up by mouth for 30 min and almost passing out, I abondoned the idea, having to sleep on the ground! DON'T RELY ON THIS ITEM TO HOLD A CHARGE for very long! I have since purchased a Coleman "double action" hand pump - no batteries/ no electricity!

After borrowing the neighbor's...
During one of our hot days during this crazy summer, our last-minute blow-up pool came in the mail from amazon. Only as I was unpacking it did I realize - I had nothing to blow the thing up with! So, I borrowed asked the neighbor to borrow a pump if they had one. They did, and this was it.
Using this pump is easy - really, you can't screw it up. It charges easily, and made extremely quick work of blowing up the double-ring, 10' pool. It's also very light, which is nice.
After using the neighbor's and taking note of exactly what brand it was, I hopped on amazon to purchase and have been thrilled with it!

Fast!
While this pump is rather noisy, I think all comparable pumps are comparably noisy as well. Aside from that, it does its job really well. It will inflate a twin-size air mattress in about 20 seconds. The battery seems to hold its charge very well, and is good for multiple uses even after sitting unplugged for several weeks. It is also good for deflating an air mattress (much easier than trying to sit on it, roll it out, etc).
Overall, no complaints really other than the (to be expected) noise.
