I'm thinking of taking this with me to Europe. How easy will it be to inflate and deflate using converters?

I don't think the converters will make a difference. This inflates fast & super easy & deflates easy with a little more pressure/squeezing it if you want it deflated faster. Fold it in thirds lengthwise & the roll it up TOWARDS the air vent outlet & it will fit easily in the bag it comes with

It is manual easy 2 inflate though hard 2 deflate I wouldn't buy this one again it was comfy but required 2 much 2 deflate.

I use an electric air pump and it inflates quickly in less then 5 minutes. Your time may vary depending on pump. To be honest the center foot pillow takes longer to inflate due to the small diameter of the air valve. I always deflate after use and store back in my garage. The larger diameter air valves on the outer main floats allow it to deflate in just a few minutes. Hope this answers your question.

Pretty easy to deflate, remove the plugs, fold it over and sit/stand on it. It is pretty sizeable when deflated but that is pretty understandable for the size and toughness of the boat. It fits easily into the trunk of my 135i when in the bag, somewhat tough to get into the storage bag and the bag feels pretty thin but has held up well.

I'm using the converter. The manual says to use it. It's an expensive gadget and converter is pretty cheap. I don't wanna take a chance of breaking it.

Yes, That's the good thing about it. The best inflator. You can also use 12 & 16 gram cartridge.

You can inflate with the mouth or with a machine. Its not so big! Great for summer or travels! :)

Great device! Here is the deal. The pump can be set from 8 kPa to 80 kPa. If you do the conversion that means it has a range of 1.16 PSI to 11.60 PSI. You set the desired kPa (obviously after you understand your converted PSI). The pump will work at high speed to get the bulk of the item inflated. It then shifts into low gear to get the last bit inflated and automatically shuts off when it reaches the target setting. I use it for a tender and a SUP and it works great. The other hidden benefit though is that you can put the hose on the pump air intake rather than outflow when you need to deflate the item. This allows you to get all of the air out and fold the item like it was when you first bought it. Great device! Here is the deal. The pump can be set from 8 kPa to 80 kPa.

The vest is easy to inflate, you simply blow into the tube. To deflate you simply push the end of the tube down and press against your body, if you are wearing it. To completely deflate it is easier to lay it flat and slowly roll it up as you deflate it. There is one strap around the chest, sits near the bottom of the rib cage on my daughter, who is 4'9", and a strap that attaches at the section behind the neck, runs up between the legs and attaches to the front of the vest. We found it very easy to use.

I modified my air compressor to make it easier but if you just use a large inflator you should be fine.

about 12-15 inches wide by 12-15 inches long. deflates & inflates very easy should not be a problem in your bag unless your bag is filled all the stuff my wife has in her bag! Best thing it WORKS!

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

I am sure that it will be okay, I used it for my Kindle and phone, someone else used it on their tablet. It is a little difficult to use the extra plug on the converter, I supported the weight by stacking something under it, ( like a rolled up towel on the counter under the outlet. Enjoy your trip.

Fairly easy if you buy a Coleman Air Pump that plugs into your cigarette lighter plug. It has a reverse suction feature.

If you use it in U.S., you do not need a converter actually. Just do not use the biggest mode. Dry or set mode is enough, at least for me.

We have an Electric Pump available that easily inflates, I have provided the link below: New Intex 66621E Air Inflator With Quick-Fill 12 Volt Rechargeable Electric Pump Carry Handle

You will need a good air compressor and 220 volt outlet. Make sure you have a dryer on your airline.
