"It works great for what it is designed for!"

If you want to blow up low pressure items (toys, beach balls, mattresses, small pools, etc.), this pump works great and VERY fast. It can also be used to deflate these items quickly and completely. However, if you want to pump up bike or car tires or hard balls like basketballs or footballs, look elsewhere. It doesn't have the oompf or the adapter to do those things. Why the previous reviewer thought it worked on bike tires, I can't imagine, since you can see from the picture that it doesn't come with the appropriate adapter. Plus, it is really just a fan, not a compressor. If you need portability, buy the 12V rechargeable one. This one needs 120 VAC current. 5 stars

"Does the job ... I SAID, "DOES THE JOB"!"

Functionally-
This thing inflates AND deflates low pressure things (stuff you could blow up with lung effort) in a -snap-. Filled a double- height queen bed in about 4 minutes and deflated it in about the same. This will _not_ pump anything like car/bike tires or basketballs or footballs. Comes with nozzles to adapt to most anything you might find around the pool.
Acoustically-
It is incredibly loud. It's most like tipping your vacuum cleaner back and putting your head beside it. Yes, it's that loud. My kids left the room while it was in use.
Structurally-
The bearings on it suck eggs. After using it a few times it kind of sounded buzzy and emitted the occasional screech. 3 stars

"won't work for a bicycle"

I read the review beore the purchase. I planned to use the unit for pumping up the bicycle. But turned out the adaptor doesn't fit for a bicycle. So it has been sitting in my garage since. 2 stars

"Air pump"

Great at filling all kinds of inflatables and works very quickly. The only problem is that it is VERY loud. 5 stars

"HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE - STAY AWAY FROM COLEMAN!"

I purchased a Coleman rechargeable quick pump along with a Coleman inflatable air mattress for use when guests visit. Normally I would only review the product under the relevant Amazon page, but I feel this review is relevant to all Coleman products as it relates to their customer service policies.

After using the Coleman rechargeable pump two times, it died. It won't recharge; it won't even turn-on.

When I called Coleman to ask about warranty information for the pump, they responded with "We don't actually make that pump, we just put our name on it so we can't help you," and then they hung-up the phone!
I called them back right away, and got them to give me the number of the company that does manufacture the pump and when I called it, it was a disconnected phone number! Coleman does not appear to care at all about the quality of their products or the concept of customer service. I will NEVER buy another Coleman product again. I understand that products break from time to time and that can be forgiven, but no company should treat their customers this way.

I urge everybody who is considering the purchase of any Coleman products to boycott this horrible firm. By their own admission, they don't even make the products, they just pass them off to consumers. You deserve better than Coleman!!! 1 star
