we have an outwell pump that has both mains and car cigarette adapters - works a treat for flattening our vac packs and tote bins.

Our Kampa Whirlwind rechargeable pump (recharge from car or home electrics) has a deflate function and sucks the air out of our airbed successfully. Its a very powerful pump for its small size.
