3.2 Powerful Inflation and Deflation

Despite its small size, the pump delivers a powerful airflow of 300 L/min and a maximum pressure of 2.2 Kilopascal. This enables rapid inflation of items such as air mattresses (approx. 40 seconds), baby pools (approx. 3 minutes), and pillows (approx. 30 seconds). It also efficiently deflates items for compact storage. The pump can also be used as a fire starter by directing its airflow.
