what do you use to inflat an inflatable buffet cooler

we have an air mattress electric pump, but if you prefer you can blow it up like a float for the pool, the old fashion way with your own air.

We blew it up like a tube, only the perimeter inflates, its just a matter of 2 minutes.

I used an electric air pump and it took less than a minute, but you can do it with manual pump too. We inflated ours before we went to the party so there was less to do the day of. It doesn't take up that much room if you have an SUV or truck, we just put in on the top of all the coolers and transported it that way.

I think just 2-3 old guys who were full of hot air. I don't think they used anything else. Only used it once, but it worked well.

This is just all thoughts coming together to hopefully help - using the attachment with the long skinny nozzle, attach to the side that blows to inflate(the other side sucks to deflate) make sure you twist it to lock it in. Slide the balloon onto the long nozzle and hold tight then turn on. It worked for me. Hope this helps.

We used an air compressor! But any electric pump would work, like the ones for air mattresses or pool floaties! Just be careful with the air compressor so you don't overfill and accidentally pop one of the chambers!

A small air pump or bicycle pump. No problem with it over filling with air. use your common sense.

I use an electric pump. You might be able to use a bicycle pump to inflate with the right attachment on the pump. A screw on attachment that is cone shaped might work.

I use a rechargeable air pump with a switch to deflate . It only takes 2 minutes.

Any electric camping pump will do. They will not inflate to full pressure. They just do the majority of the work for you. You must still stop and use a hand pump to achieve full pressure.

We used our air compressor to pump it up. I love this float. This is our second season and it's just like new. We stored it in our pool pump house still aired up over the winter.

The pump is meant for inflatable rafts, etc., so I would think that it might work for inflatable pools. It works beautifully for inflating air mattresses. I don't know about balloons. Maybe you could make some sort of adapter for it. The pump pushes air into the item being inflated on both the DOWN and UP strokes. Very efficient.

The best way to deflate is to use a powered inflator/deflator. I picked one up that uses the 12v connector in your car or boat. Use it with the pump hose to get ALL of the air out and seal the valve. The board rolls up as small as possible when this method is used.

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.

You can use either a hand pump or an electric pump. There are three chambers and the hand pump inflates the chambers quickly enough.

any blower should work. The bounce house has a tube pertruding from it. As long as the tube fits over the blower exit tube, the house will inflate.

I just inflate it with an air compressor. If you have a bike tire pump this would also work but may take a little longer

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.

I've been able to use tire inflating fittings from Lowe's as well as my little dust blower fitting which uses a standard quick connect on the bottom. However, you won't get much force as the only air stored at high pressure is the air in the line. I think you would have to make the compressor go into a small tank (2 or 5 gallon) to reliably blow dust around or air up balloons.

Hi. I use a small electric pump (like I use to fill pool inflatables). Then just put the stopper that comes with it back in. The Hopper balls are fun and very sturdy.
