Manual pumps take a long time to fill up even a twin-sized mattress. Using your vacuum to blow up the air mattress saves time. Not all vacuums are capable of blowing up an air mattress. Determine if yours can by consulting the manual or by looking on the machine for a switch that changes the direction of the airflow. Adjust the vacuum so that it blows out air. There is usually a switch on the handle or near the control panel that reverses the airflow direction. Turn your machine on and flip the switch to determine if the air is blowing rather than sucking. Some machines require you also remove the hose and attach it to another port on the machine. Lay the mattress on the floor so that it is completely flat. There shouldn’t be any folds in it. Open the mattress inflation hole by untwisting the cap. Set the cap aside in a place that is easy to reach. Put the vacuum hose in the inflation hole and fill up the mattress. Make the mattress slightly firmer than you want, as you will lose some air when you replace the mattress cap.
Don’t fill the mattress until it is very stiff, as overfilling it can make it burst. Remove the hose and quickly replace the cap. Tighten it as much as possible. Use a hair dryer to blow up the air mattress if your vacuum doesn’t have a blow setting. Set the hairdryer on the cool setting avoids damaging your rubber or plastic mattress.

Pool floats require plenty of air to help them hold their form, and to provide support for the person who uses it. Though manual lungpower is always an option, there exist some ingenious ways to save your diaphragm from soreness the day after the party. Learning new techniques in blowing up a pool float can save plenty of time and energy, and they are generally useful for the future, because remember, laziness is the catalyst for innovation. An excellent way to inflate a pool float is to use a vacuum cleaner. Most cleaners allow you to attach the hose to the exhaust, so use this to your advantage.
Spread out the float to remove kinks, ensuring the whole thing lies flat. For particularly large floats, bring it out to the yard so that no obstructions impede its inflation. Bring the vacuum out, and power it using a long extension cable plugged into a wall outlet. Take the vacuum cleaner hose and attach it firmly into the exhaust pipe of the cleaner. Turn the vacuum cleaner on, and hold it against the open valve of the pool float. The valve should open from the pressure of the air coming out of the exhaust, allowing air to come in but not go out. When the float has fully inflated, seal it using the plug attached to the valve. This method is a time saver, taking only a few minutes to inflate large pool floats effectively. This method is good for going on trips to resorts, especially when there is a gas station along the way. Take a 3/8-inch hose tubing and cut it to a length of about 1.5 inches. Use a sharp X-Acto knife to cut the bell valve out of a tire valve to use at the intake.
Insert the bell valve into the hose by applying some oil onto the cut end of the valve to make it go in smoothly. Create an airtight seal by taking a hose clamp and screwing it shut at a good point along the tip of the hose with the valve attached. Finish by inserting a dual-ended hose barb into the other end of the hose. Drive to a gas station and use the air pump to inflate the float. Insert the hose barb end into the pool float valve, and open the tire valve side. Turn on the air pump, and hold the pump hose against the tire valve. The float should take in air like a tire. Shut off the pump when the float has reached its maximum size. Similar to the vacuum cleaner trick, you can use a blow dryer to inflate a float. Ensure that the dryer you use has a fan-only option to blow unheated air into the floater. Cut a funnel out of the drinking end of a plastic bottle, and tape the wide end to the tip of the dryer using duct tape. Use multiple layers to ensure an airtight seal. Plug the blow dryer into a lower outlet or an extension cable.
