We use small yellow one from argos they're so good we got one for spare also double for drying hair or deflating vacuum storage bags.

I don't rate them. I borowed one from a friend and it took 25 minutes to blow a double air bed up.Noisy to use and the added pollution not welcome by fellow campers especially on hot summer days when leaving the cars engine running

I always use a hand pump it takes 5 mins max and gets the old heart pumping.

Anyway the kids love that job now.....

I bought a Coleman one last year, it blows my double airbed up in 1 minute flat, so the noise is not really a problem. It doesn't drain the battery that much, as it's only like having the fan on in the car, and has no heater element to drain the battery.

A friend bought a rechargeable Coleman model, and that was really quiet.

Hi

we got the coleman one too, it was 12.99 from our local camping store, is really quick and not particularly noisy..oh it also has a deflate bit too...not really used that though. erm not sure of the model...just 12v 2 way inflator.

We have the Argos Job - works fine and have never had any probles with the car battery or noise, it's only on for 5 mins max (1 single and 1 double air bed)
