It will do both for you, and it should do it quicker then you think it will.

Yes it will inflate and deflate like the battery powered air pumps. This one does it much faster and with more air pressure.

It does well inflating tires. If you need to do alot, it may take a bit to build up pressure again

Buy an air pump that has a deflate option and it is a piece of cake. Deflated it goes in the box it came in. I bought two and my grandkids beat them to death wrestling, running on them and jumping off them for two weeks of daily abuse. Love these floats. Great buy.

It inflates like a beach ball but. Definately not something you would want to blow up yourself though. I used a battery operated pump that I use for air mattresses.

Yes, it does. It takes just a couple of minutes to inflate or deflate the airbed.

No,it's only an air compressor.You need to use Helium to make balloons float.

June, I personally have never had to deflate it but I can't foresee that as any problem. Just pull the plug and let it deflate. Inflating it was simple! Hope this helps. P.S.This is still a HUGE favourite with my granddaughter. Can say enough good about this product!

I tried and it does not pump air. That's strange because I had a different model previously which was able to inflate both water and air. That model didn't have the handle and the tying tool, like this Kaos model. It's strange because they look pretty much the same. Too bad it didn't have all in one.

No, it does not auto inflate or deflate. It's a small valve, but they don't take much air to inflate.

I used a shop vac to get it 95% filled. From there I had to use the hand pump to get it all the way to the 15 PSI. I use the boards every day so I do leave them inflated all the time. Only time I deflate is when I take them to another lake or river. With the hand pump they provide, it takes 160 strokes to completely fill the boards. I did have an issue with the first pump but the company was very quick to replace it. Great customer service.

There is a small plastic piece that holds the air in. To inflate you can use a handheld pump, like the kind if you were inflating a pool float. The pump is not included with this ball.

It inflates with a pump like you would use to pump up a pool toy. I used that at first and adapted the nozzle to fit but then later, when I purchased additional quickbeds also purchased a coleman Universal Quick Pump. It works wonderfully and is rechargeable.

You have to blow it up like a pool toy. But we bought 1 and returned it wouldnt stay inflated. They sent a 2nd one same problem . Cost more in return shipping we just gave up.

No it doesn't this air pump is more for inflatables like ones for water or in my case I bought it for a giant inflatable jump-o-Lene I bought my my little niece & nephew.

Well actually it doesn't self-inflate. It has one of those twist thingies on the side that you twist and blow into then twist closed. Like beach toys. Only a breath or two and it's full. I don't blow mine up all the way because it seems more comfortable partially inflated. I bought it mostly for flying on Delta. I think their seats are the worst.

Yes, it will also deflate things. You just take the hose off the output port at the base of the pump, and connect it to the air intake port on the other side of the base and it will suck air out of what you attach the other end of the hose to.

Once it inflates, you need to purchase the CO2 re-arming kit (over $20 on Amazon) for the next use. Of course, you can blow it up manually but that defeats the whole concept. Since Amazon does not let you return this item, I would definitely check this out at a sporting goods store first. I, for one, would not buy it again.
