How can you fast forward to a few weeks ago. Are you living in the past?
I used to have a Topeak MasterBlaster DX but that just didn't really pump air into my tires at all.
Now I'm using some old Zéfal (pretty much the same as the current Mini Jet) and it works awesome. With awesome I mean that it inflates the tire just enough to make it to the nearest bike shop at 72psi.
