Depending on internal design, some inverters don't drive rotary devices such as air bed pumps.

Any recs for ones that do?

Thanks SR

Why not just buy a 12v pump? They are only about £7 each, much cheaper than an inverter!

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

Thanks bordercaz.

Unfortunately most Aerobeds (Platinum type in this case) have a built in mains powered pump, so 12v not an option here.

That's right - unless i've missed something. The Aerobed 'Active' has a re-chargable battery, but the others don't. They're excellent airbeds, but need 240v electricity.

Hi, we have intex double height which also has built in 240v pump. On this if you don't have mains electric you can use 12v pump with large nozzle into intake valve to inflate. Mybe aerobed is similar ?

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_184083_langId_-1_categoryId_31297

and it works fine. Maybe i was worrying about nothing.

Costco have a very similar inverter (Ring), but it's the 500w version for £23.00.
