Hi guys looking for an air pump for my inflatable. It's a 230 and want something that will get it pumped up but iv also heard having a de - flating option is good to get it compact

Something that runs of a lithium battery or cigarette lighter would be ideal

Cheers

I think a SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) pump would be what you need.
I got one for my Mrs off eBay and it works great for her SUP, off the ciggy lighter.

Having checked my eBay purchase history, I got her:
16/20 PSI Air Pump Intelligent Electric Pump High Pressure For SUP Paddle Board
Types: 20PSI Dual Stage Pump
£59.90

That was in 2021 though.


More recently, I bought one for myself from LIDL. I think I posted on here recently to confirm price etc, I will go take a look for the post...
Here's the post

I use the fox inflator. Works off the cigarette socket on my battery box. Will inflate and deflate to the full pressure. It does my 2.7 in a few minutes, about 60 seconds per area.

I think you can get the fox one without the carp tax on it now

This Fox one...
LINKY POO™ https://www.total-fishing-tackle.com/fox-automatic-air-pump
...is exactly the same shape/design as the one I bought for the Mrs SUP.

As we've all seen over the last 10 years, most of this stuff comes out the same factories. They just colour or brand things up a bit different and pretend they've designed/researched/engineered it.

Why pay for a Fox logo on the same chinese pump as you'll get off eBay?
