I am getting lazy to foot-pump my 2.3 m slat floor inflatable.

Could any of the esteemed members recommend a decent pump or compressor for the purpose, please.

Nothing fancy, but reliable with good track record.

I use one of these for my 2.3m,,,, Its awesome. It makes me want to get the dingy out just so I can blow it up.
Have had it for 6 months and no problems

You can get them with an internal battery as well

Very happy with the maxi-pro, I think it's sold under various names, so you might find it cheaper somewhere.

If you have any of the ryobi 18v range they make a pump that will do it. Cheap as chips as well. You will need to add an adapter on the end of the high pressure hose to suit. Clamp a bit of 3/4" pipe on it then add the adapter. Its the ryobi p731. Use the low pressure for fast inflate then finish with the high pressure.

Have seen posted on here before one of these

Just an option, it's cheap.
I've bought one but haven't tested in yet.

I bought mine at BCF. It gets about 95%, which is normally fine if only me on board. Plus it sits in a rack (chained of course), so I prefer to leave it a bit under pumped.

Thanks guys, a lot!

After visiting the local camping store and looking at the plethora of uselessness they offer l think only one question remains:
Does the maxipro come with the PROPER fitting to attach an inflatable to it?
I think it does, it is a gut feeling, as one could not see it properly on the fotos, but if it does, well, it is the one, despite the filthy lucre!
So does it?

I use an airbed pump from Target. $19.99 at the time.

SirG. If you're anywhere near Darley Ave Mona Vale call in to the Zodiac shop opposite Whitworths.
I've bought a pump that plugs into the car cig lighter. Works well.
