Technaxx Mini Battery Air Pump TX-261

€29.99

When camping, by the pool or even at home, having an air pump that you can inflate a spare mattress or pump up pool toys is always helpful – however, it’s always the one bit of kit I forget to think about. Often, I’m left inflating the pool toys myself, and leaving myself out of breath all before the day has even begun – and with an inflatable mattress, I don’t even know where to start! Therefore, Techanxx’s Mini Batter Air Pump TX0261 makes a compact, portable and easy-to-use air pump so you’ll never be caught out trying to inflate things using your lungs alone!

The air pump may be small, but it really is mighty. The powerful air pump is supported by a large 1360mAh battery, which allows the small device to deliver great inflating power at speed. Included in the air pump set from Technaxx is the Mini Battery Air Pump, 5 different nozzles in varying sizes, a charging cable, a user manual and a carry case. The variety of nozzle sizes means that you can pick the perfect one for whatever you’re inflating.  I found the larger ones were perfect for inflating my single mattress for when a friend came to stay last week, and the smaller ones were perfect for some balls we’d got to play in the pool with.

Weighing only 79 grams, the small unit is super easy to throw in your bag and take with you to either the beach or the camping field, to ensure that all your items are perfectly inflated for a fun day and a comfortable night's sleep – well, however comfortable an air mattress can be!

I also loved that the air pump doubles as a camping light, with a built-in LED light. This makes it even more useful for hanging up in the tent for a little extra light at night. The overall battery life is pretty good, although if desired to be used as both an inflating device and then a light for a long trip it may need to be recharged. However, the included charging cable makes this super easy, and you just need to connect it to a power source to have all the great inflating properties once again.

If you’re an avid camper, or always find yourself desperately looking for a pump to save yourself from being breathless inflating pool toys, the Technaxx Mini Battery Air Pumps TX-261 is a great compact choice. It’s the perfect size for taking with you on the go or keeping in the cupboard for all your inflating needs.

Pros:

• Large battery for long life and quick inflation speeds
• Varying nozzle sizes to suit all inflatables
• Compact and lightweight design for easy portability

Cons:

• Using the unit as both an air pump and a light will decrease the battery quicker – and may need to be recharged more frequently for continuous use
