I brought the pump in spring to use on my Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) which inflates to 20 psi. The pump has worked perfectly all summer and super glad I brought it. Prior to buying the pump, I was using a manual pump the previous summer to inflate my SUP and it worked but took a lot of effort on my end to get to 20 psi.
I have used it around a dozen times now and encountered no problems. On one of my outings I used it to inflate my SUP and two other SUPs (15 psi) and was able to pump all three SUPs consecutively. Some observations after using it all summer:
- The pump does get a little hot when inflating to 20 psi. I did not notice it getting hot when inflating my friend's inflatable kayak (6 psi) or SUPs (15 psi).
- The pump is loud; this is usually not a problem since I'm inflating my SUP in a parking lot and most parking lots are usually pretty loud anyways.
- As others have stated, it does take around 10-12 minutes to get to the desired psi level. Not a big deal for me since I usually start the pump first and get my other equipment ready while my SUP is inflating.
- My cigarette lighter is in my middle console and the power cord is long enough that I can use the pump on either side of my car. I usually try to park at an end spot so that I can have my SUP on a grass strip and not take up a second parking spot inflating my SUP. This also guarantees that I have a spot to deflate my SUP when I am done since someone could have parked next to me later on.
- Love the fact that I can set the psi level and it inflates to the set psi level without having to consistently check on the pump. Also love that it remembers the psi level so I don't have to set it every time I use the pump.
- Personally, I wouldn't use the pump on any equipment that requires pressure less than 8-10 psi since it probably would be quicker and easier to use a manual pump if you have one.
Overall, I love the pump and would not hesitate to buy it again. Only time will tell if it will last but the build quality appears to be solid and I expect mine to last for many years.
