Do you know how quickly (in mins) this pump blows up a queen-sized bed? I need to use this pump to blow up 600 thundersticks, so time is important.Thx

We have a double queen size mattress and it only took about 5 min's or less. The only down side to this pump is you need to wear ear plugs - extremely loud.

It took 3-4 minutes to air up my queen size mattress. It is a little noisy but I can deal with that because it is so easy to use.

We have a queen sized mattress. I haven't timed it with a stopwatch, but I guess its between 1 and 2 minutes.

Someone else ask about the air flow and I responded with this: I just tried inflating my air mattress with this, it took 24 seconds. My mattress inflated measures 70 X 52 X 8, so running the math I get an air flow of ~40CFM. I also tried the 12V version and it was really close, but just a couple seconds slower.

We used this pump to air up beach balls, it took about 3-5 minutes on the size of the beach balls. I believe it would take much longer to air up a queen size bed, I would recommend a bigger pump instead of this one. The Coleman is good for smaller items. Hope this helps.

Actually...I think we took turns at manually blowing it up. We didn't have a pump. Totally worth it though....my granddaughter had a blast!

Without using the included "regulator" this pump generates enough pressure to burst a Coleman air mattress. (Learned my lesson and I'm substantially more careful now.) It inflates really fast, but it's "ear-splitting, always wear hearing protection" loud. I've used it to inflate large towables. It does the job in a hurry and with plenty of pressure so that there's no need to "top it off" with a hand pump.

We used a portable battery powered pump...you can blow it up manually but it is large.

It inflates pretty fast surprisingly....couldn't give you an estimate on time. The pump itself starts off loud initially but quiets down over time.

Very easily blown up by hand. No pump necessary -- in fact, I think it would be over-kill and probably quickly pop it, LOL. My daughter loved this float last summer and will probably be bitterly disappointed that she's too big for it now.

I would stay away from this pump. It only lasted about a year and blew up inside my pit. I have to call a plumber to get a new one because it was 45 below zero in Chicago the day it blew up and it was the first day our house was being shown to be sold. What a terrible experience and it blew up right after the warranted period.

Mine lasted 30 minutes, before it blew up. Longer than some others I guess.

I don't believe this is suitable for that purpose. It's not actually an air compressor, where you have an instant volume of air at the press of a button. It's basically designed to pulsate or pump air into air inflatable devices such as vehicle tires, basketballs, etc. BUT... if you are looking for a FAST vehicle tire inflation pump, this is the ONE to get! I LOVE mine!

You don't need a pump for this, but it would make it easier to blow up. It has a standard blow-up valve on it, so whatever pump nozzle has a fitting that would work. I used lung power to blow this up, and it took about 10 minutes.

The pump that you use to blow it up is quite loud. It is powerful and works quickly - barely t60 seconds to blow it up, so I don't think it is any big deal. However, if you have a sleeping little one, you might think it is a big deal if the pump wakes him/her up. Once the air mattress is blown up, it is not loud. You just lay down on it and go to sleep.

the pump is built in to the bed. you have to use your foot to pump it up. However, I used a different electrical pump that was much faster.

June 2014 - I've been using the queen size and just bought the twin. The queen inflates with the Wenzel external battery pump with a 1"+ nozzle. The Twin has a screw thread, smaller hole, too small for the existing pump. But the twin comes with a little funnel adapter that fits onto the 1"+ battery pump; the adapter inserts into the tiny mouth-blow-up hole instead of through the more efficient larger infate/deflate hole. Wenzel could have made a universal inflate/deflate hole so their pump fits all beds! Maybe the engineer with that bright idea was fired!

I purchased an inexpensive pump that you plug in. Otherwise.....you will probably pass out trying to blow it up yourself!

Yes but get your air compressor out. It takes all day with that pump to blow it up.

I used it to inflate the tires on my Class A motorhome, unfortunately the 100+ pressures were too much for this unit and it overheated and died. It is a very heavy duty pump, but still not up to the task of inflating high pressure tires.
