Hi all:

Stacey (The Balloon Kid) has used this pump for 2 years now and is still on the
first one.  Inflation is 3-5 seconds per 260.  Silver batteries run
approximately 45-60 minutes and gold batteries run about 1 1/2 hours.  It's
hard to put a number of balloons to these figures as they are blown to
different lengths.  She has 4 sets of batteries (3 silver, 1 gold) and has used
them for lines of 4-5 hours with no problems.

If you have trouble locating a retail store, let me know as we have an outlet
store here in town and could assist.

Fred:  Thanks for the idea of the cover for this pump.  We're going to look
into it.

Another plus is that Dad can still use the batteries when he is working around
the house and yard!

Cheers.
