Poor Performance
I purchased this product hoping to use it to inflate water tubes and towables for tubing with our bowrider boat. This inflator does not have the power to inflate a even a one person towable tube. I had to go back to my hand pump to do the job. It also doesn’t come with any adaptors so you need to mail order the adaptors for $4.50 plus $5 S&H just to be able to use the product.

Best for the money
I used Magic Airs 12 years ago when I was a raft guide. I switched to LVL a number of years ago because they had a little more volumne. But the LVL’s seem more delicate-not a good thing on the landing.
When I got this one, it didn’t put out the volumne that I remembered, so I cut off the cigarette lighter plug, put on clips, and attach right to the battery. That increases the output. I don’t know what that’s all about. I had never seen one with the cigarette lighter plug before. I see now they make them both ways.
I would buy one again if I was shopping for an inflator.

Dont Purchase This item !
I purchased this item and it only ran for enough time to fill up two rubber rafts, a total time of about 2 hours then the motor started making a funny noise and then the unit totally quit working. I would not suggest buying this item, it really gets HOT after only a few minutes of running time and is really LOUD. Save your money and purchase another inflator/deflator.
