Anyone try one of these mini electric pumps?

It just might be that what is irrelevant to you is relevant to me. That's allowed.
My real point was that a slightly larger electric pump works great, with a gauge.
BTW, the weight difference between one of these electric units and a larger frame pump is quite small.

I use this one mostly at home, or when I ride my mountain bike. I don't use it when I'm on my road bike or hybrid bike because my seat bags are too small for it. It has a shut off setpoint. It has a flashlight function if needed at night. If left on, it shuts itself off after 3 minutes. If it were to ever breakdown I'd buy another one.

First saw one of those on a group ride this summer. It was a Fumpa. Seemed like a cool idea, especially if you're not into contributing to the environmental issues of CO2 cartridges...but it also seemed to be really loud, slow, and bulky. So I don't see it as being significantly more valuable than a good frame-mounted pump.
