For those that have tried the B&D inflator and say they don't like it, you might
want to thinka bout what it was desgiedn for originally and what you are using 
it for.  Most likely, it was designed for inflating flat tires and inflatable
toys and not balloons so it probably isn't intended for extended use like we
do when we are inflating balloons.

I like mine but I don't twist for hours at a time.  I use mine for those
times when you don't want to deal with power cords and, to be honest, to
satisfy my budget.  

I have another inflator some people might be interested in although I can't
say I've tested it for balloons other than a few here and there.  THere is
a rechargable inflator...small and not too noisy...sold at Kmart in the sporting
goods department, made in China exclusively for Kmart.  The price was $24.99.
I've got mine charged and just have to take time to play around with it but
again it was NOT designed for balloons so bear that in mind when you look at
what it can and can't do.
