Would this type of pump be helpful if I'm planning to blow up 250 balloons for an event?

It will be time consuming but I think it will work. I blew up quite a few and it did a great job. The balloons won't float like Helium filled ones but I used sticky tac and stuck them to the ceiling that way with curling ribbon tails hanging down. You could order two pumps and have another person help you blow them up.

It will still take some time - 250 balloons is a lot, and it takes a few pumps to inflate each balloon - but it will definitely be a far better option than inflating them using lung power!

Based on usage by my wife and myself, I think this unit is a little too small for your job. You will wear yourself and the pump out. If you do this frequently, you might be consider getting a small electric powered pump. At least, you will save yourself from a sore arm.

We bought an electric air pump like you would use to blow up an air mattress. It had different nozzles so it worked well. I would not recommend purchasing this intex playhouse or any other intex playhouse because they rip very easy. Also the main place to fill this with air does not like to stay closed. We had to duct tape it closed.

I bought this pump for the very purpose of making balloon animals, etc. I returned it because it doesn't do the job. It would be good for round balloons but not the 160's and 260's.

Short answer is yes, but I found this to be of poor quality and poor design for a pop up. I'd look into the leisure products pump for the same results with a better design and function.

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

A hand pump will work as long as it has a nozzle that tapers to about 3/8". However, these take a LOT of air, so small hand pumps will take a LONG time to fill it. We recommend a high volume air pump, like our Exercise Ball Air Pump (which can be used to fill any large inflatables, as well).

It didn't come with a pump, but I was able to blow it up by using my mouth. It's a very small, soft, rubbery ball, and didn't take much air to fill up. It was much easier to blow up than a balloon is.

Yes, you really should use a pump. It takes a lot of air and certainly possible to blow it up with breath. Once inflated you can adjust pressure as temp changes using breath.

I would say yes. I have used all day blowing up inflatables at 6 different festivals. It is extremely quiet and sems ti have more cfm's than my 4hp noisy compressor. I think you will be very pleased with it

You will need a much more powerful air pump w/2 outlets per pump. This particular model is the smallest available, with just enough output for use w/a single bubble ring (that's what I use but I'm sure the standard bubble wands could be an alternative). Definitely a tiny, weak "accessory" pump only!

No, just use a ball pump. That's what I used. Much faster than blowing it up

Hello, i bought it for my daughter's birthday and i used to inflate 150 balloons average size, no problem, i believe it can inflate easy 250 to 300 balloons

Not enough info about the 60" balloon. Did real well with 7-12" balloons were used but struggled to get started on the smaller balloons that are really designed for water. I suspect a 60" balloon would be heavier material and might be too little hard for this pump to stretch the material.

I didn't try it, but I would expect it to inflate them very well. You may need to fashion an adapter for the nozzle, as the smallest outlet is about 5/8 inch in diameter. You'll also waste a good bit of battery between balloon changes unless you switch it off in between fillings. But it should work.

Hi There, no I would not recommend this pump to pump balls, as it is designed to clip onto an extruding pipe that comes out of a bike or car tire. Hope that helps

Yes, I think it would work very well for that. I used mine to remove gasoline from a snow blower at the end of the season. In case you are unsure of its size, the pump is 24 inches long and the attached hose is 24 inches long.

Yes, according to the instructions it can be used to inflate a variety of items; including an exercise ball. Convenient, powerful, and compact - this simple air pump literally does it all. I use it to inflate my double air mattress for camping; and, it does the job in about 45 - 60 seconds. Although a bit loud, it works very fast and is reliable. I hope this helps to answer your question.
