Why We Like the NeoAir Micro Pump
Fitting in the palm of your hand, the NeoAir Micro Pump is a trail essential for us who would rather not huff and puff our pad to inflation. All we have to do is slide it onto the pad's valve cap, turn it on, then sit back and relax. The best part is that it weighs a meager 2.3oz, hardly adding to the weight of our backpacks.

Here's what customers have to say
The reviews for this portable sleeping pad pump are mixed. Some users found it to be small, lightweight, and efficient at inflating their pads, while others reported significant issues. Many said it lacked the power to fully inflate their pads, even taking an excessively long time. Compatibility was also a problem, with the pump not fitting or working with some sleeping pads as advertised. Other complaints included the pump being heavy, not rechargeable, and poor quality construction. Overall, while some were satisfied, the majority of reviewers did not find this product to be worth the money.

Surprisingly similar to my ex
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Takes ages to get the job done, makes a lot of noise, wants to go on every trip despite not carrying much weight for the effort. Only fits the loudest of pads and is hard to find when you actually need it. I would say get one that works harder and has adaptors to blow up your pad, boat etc. Virtue signals a lot is mostly incompatible.

Love not having to blow
Love not having to blow up my pad anymore. I probably wouldn't take it on my most light and fast trip, but nice for most occasions!

Bad performance
This pump doesn’t have enough output to do its job properly. It took 15 min to inflate my mattress. The Flextail pump did it in 1 minute. Since it take so much time to inflate the battery don’t last that long. So if you have multiple mattress to inflate on multiple days. You will need lots of battery. Shame because there’s no port to charge the batteries . All the basics are wrong.

Very poor
New batteries each time, it slow and doesn’t fully inflate my xtherm pad (which is the best addition to my kit) I wish I hadn’t purchased the pump.

Meh
Not as powerful as described, will do the job, but takes awhile to fill pad might get two or three uses before you need to replace batteries

Never quite works!
There is always some quirk as to why this device does not work well. It is not worth the price. The battery springs move out of place and the pump itself is very under-powered. It is recommended to use new batteries for each use!

Not usable
Extremely slow, mat is only 2/3 full, extremely high battery consumption

Kinda weak and slow
I’ve been using this pump for a few years now. Compared to a flextail, it is heavier and a lot less powerful. It is incapable of fully filling up my XLite, I always have to use the pump sack as well. But I tried out a Flextail and it filled it well enough in a fraction of the time and is lighter. So I regret buying this pump now. It just seems simply inferior.

Does not move enough air
Does not move enough air to fill the mattress and does not attach to empty the mattress

Pump is a gimmick
The pump doesnt inflate pads in minutes. Down right lie. I can start pumping up my pad, then setup a ground sheet, connect it to my tent and put my tent up. Then throw the rain cover on, stake everything out, take out my sleeping bag and the pad is still only at 70%. not worth the money
