AIRBANK Electric SUP Puffer Pro 20 PSI, Rechargeable Paddle Board Pump 5200 mAh, Dual Stage Auto Off Air Pump with Battery for Paddleboard, Kite, Tent, Mattress

The media could not be loaded. The air bank puffer pro arrived nicely packaged it came in a box which when you open it you find a hard shell case with a zip around the middle. The case is black with the Airbank brand in orange across the front. Upon opening the case I was pleasantly surprised by how small the pump is, it is strapped into the base of the case with two Velcro straps to hold it in place. There is a foam insert at each end for further protection. The unit itself is sleek and looks nicely made as does the case. The unit has an orange material carry handle on the nearest side. Turning the unit on it has a clear, fairly large display. There are five buttons, to the far left is the alter button, this allows you to set the units as either bar or psi. A long press of this button shows you what mode the unit is in, either fan which is inflating with a larger air flow up to max 1 psi, CPR which is inflating with the compressor which is a smaller airflow up to 20psi, and AUr which stands for AUT which is inflating with the fan when the current pressure is less than 0.8 psi and inflates with compressor when over 0.8 psi. These modes are automatic so you don’t need to set them. The next button is a minus for decreasing the pressure. The middle button is to power the unit on and off this is done by a long press, and to start the pump once you have set the pressure is a short press. The next button is to increase the pressure. The final button is to turn the useful led light on the front side of the unit. Upon opening the interior top compartment inside the case you find a usb three pin plug and u usb c lead, this allows you to charge the unit. There is also a car cigarette lighter socket to power the unit should you need it. There is a hose to screw on to the pump and various adapters and a set of spare washers for the hose ends. This pump also has the deflate function where you swap the hose connection on the unit to the other side. Each connection is marked with inflate or deflate.The box states that the pump is 164x86x190mmWeighs 1.2kgThe battery is 5200mahMax inflating pressure is 20psiWorking voltage and current 12v 10A maxRated power <120WThe box also notes a warranty of free replacement or repair within 1 year and gives an after sales email address.I screwed the pump into my 10.6 ft paddle board outer main chamber, set the psi to the paddle board manufacturers recommended psi of 15 and started the pump. The pump starts off quietly and quickly fills the chamber, then the second stage compressor kicks in. This is loud as with any two stage pump to achieve the high pressure inflation. The outer chamber took 6 minutes and 46 seconds and the inner / centre chamber took 2 minutes 39 seconds. I was very impressed. All I would say is that with any compressor pumps you need to be considerate of any neighbouring properties at your paddle boarding location. I have had another brand of pump which failed that was far more expensive than this one and was just as loud.You can charge the pump with your car cigarette lighter socket and if you start to pump it will automatically stop charging until the pump turns off. The pump automatically turns off when it reaches the desired psi. You can also stop it before this by pressing the power button. The unit can also be used as a power bank, the battery inside is lithium ion.In all I am impressed with this pump, I’ve used it twice so far it is at a good price point and is compact and protected in the case. It is also quick enough for me. After pumping up the board I had only dropped one bar out of five on the battery level. I would recommend this pump, it looks well made and is well thought out in design. Five stars from me.

I have just started paddle boarding and when I realised what an effort it would be to inflate the board manually, I knew I had to get an electric pump. I am on a budget so, as with everything I buy, I spent ages trawling the internet, looking for the optimal item at the best price. As I was going to have to spend significant cash on an electric one, I figured I may as well spend the extra for the cordless option. This one seemed to tick all the boxes for me. The pump itself is very neat and has a carry handle which is def useful; it comes beautifully presented in little hard case which looks smart and keeps everything in one place; the pump charges very quickly (an hour or so to max?) and it would certainly inflate three boards to about 18 psi. I have only used it for the paddle board once, but it was brilliant and much faster than my friend's which was not much cheaper and had to be plugged into the car. It is noisy when it is working but I gather from my friends that they are all noisy.RE after-sales service: I had an issue wherein the last time I tried to recharge it, the display showed ERR - I contacted the company and they got back to me that day with a very thorough reply and further offers of help. Turns out it was my own fault - I was using an insufficiently powerful charger cable. As soon as I changed the cable, it started charging perfectly well. So the after-sales service seems to be excellent too.If you are still unsure, I also saw a Youtube review by some guy in the US who had tested loads of pumps and he said this was a clear winner.

Quality product, well made and supports up to 20psi as well as very low pressure items too. It comes with a hard carry case which holds all the cables, hoses, adaptors and the pump. The noise is no different to any other pump due to the nature of what it does. It is quite heavy, but makes life so easy compared to hand inflation or relying on the car for a powered pump.

Switched to a rechargeable pump from one which connects to the 12v car battery, which allows me to use the pump wherever I want to. I love the sleek look of the pump and it comes in a smart and compact carry case. I have pumped three 12 ft 6 paddleboards without recharging. Must admit that the last 2 were slower to pump up than the first without that additional battery, but it made it. I would recommend charging after every use for efficient pumping every time. Very easy to charge up the battery using a USB charger. Yes it’s quite expensive but it is so worth it.

It actually works really well pumped it up to full pressure was pleased with the pump

Easy to use, stops at the required pressure, not as noisy as I thought it would be. Build quality seems good. Carriesin a bag with all the other stuff which is not very heavy maybe 1.5 kg. Only been used a few time so cannot comment about the batterys. Time will tell but seems to be a good choice.
