TOPUMP TPS260 & TPS300 Electric SUP Pump Review | 2025

TOPUMP TPS 260/300 Electric Pump Review – Overview

TOPUMP recently sent us a few of their new battery-powered electric SUP pumps to test out, and so far we’ve been impressed. The TOPUMP TPS 300 and TPS 260 offer nearly equivalent inflation performance to each other, but with a few key differences in size and capacity.

The TOPUMP TPS 300 is a larger pump with a higher battery capacity and integrated 12V power option while the TPS 260 is a compact unit perfect for travel, and can still inflate multiple iSUPs on a single charge.

What makes these even more impressive is their value. While they may not have as many bells and whistles as some other pumps, these two units get the job done well, and are regularly available at a significantly reduced price from their advertised MSRP.

TOPUMP TPS 260/300 Electric Pump Review – Features, Usability, and Portability

The TOPUMP TPS 260 and 300 offer a simple and reliable way to inflate and deflate your paddle boards and other inflatables.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – why are we reviewing these two pumps together? Both the TPS 300 and TPS 260 offer the same performance and general usability, but in two slightly different packages.

The TPS 260 is the smaller of the two pumps weighing in at 2.7 pounds and a longest dimension of 7.5”. The TPS 300 is notably larger at 4.5 pounds and 12” on the long end.

Both pumps come with a basic set of accessories – a hose, 7 valve adapters, and a USB-C charging cable. The TPS 300 that was sent to us this spring for testing used a proprietary AC-DC converter to charge the pump, but the current version has switched to the USB-C standard for charging (huge bump in user-friendliness there!). But the TPS 300 does have a built-in 12V charging cable to use with a car socket if the battery is flat.

Both pumps also have the same set of information and controls, just in slightly different layouts. Turn either unit on by holding the power button for a few seconds, and turn it off doing the same. With the unit powered on, pressing the power button one activates the pump.

The screen displays the current system pressure by default, but switches to displaying your inflation pressure setting when you press the + or — button. The last button switches between PSI and BAR units. You’ll also find a standard battery level indicator displayed on the screen.

Each of the pumps includes a set of 7 valve adapters. Normally these are strung on a piece of plastic and, frankly, become annoying to deal with if you don’t cut the string and let them scatter loose. But, TOPUMP has come up with a clever way to keep them together and out of the way by having each valve interlock with the others forming a neat stack. They still have a small string holding them together, but they aren’t dangling in a huge ball at the end of the included hose.

My only problem with either the TPS 260 or 300’s features is the lack of a bag or other way to keep the pump, hose, and adapters stored together. It’s a fairly small con, but compared to almost all other electric pumps at this price point (and lower) it is notably missing.

TOPUMP TPS 260/300 Pump Review – Inflation Speed and Battery Life

The TPS 260 and TPS 300 had the same inflation performance in our standardized testing. Neither fastest, nor slowest, but with an impressive battery life.

Both pumps have a two-stage pump system. The first stage is a rapid-inflation low-pressure/high-flow mode. This fills your board with air and gets it to about 1 PSI before switching to the second stage.

The second stage kicks in with a lower volume, but higher pressure pump and gets the board to your chosen pressure level before turning itself off.

For consistency, all of our pump testing is completed with the same 11’ x 32” x 6” iSUP, inflated to 15 PSI. Using a different size board or a different final pressure will change how long it takes the pump to complete its task and how many times it can do so on a single charge.

The TOPUMP TPS 300 (larger pump) did inflate its first board in just over 10 minutes when the battery was fully charged, but got slower with each subsequent inflation. By the time the battery was drained – nearly complete with 5 inflations – it was two minutes slower. The average time across inflations was 11 minutes, 30 seconds.

If you do need to inflate more boards, or forgot to charge it the day before, the TPS 300 does have a built in 12V power cord to connect to your car.

The TOPUMP TPS 260 (smaller pump) gave me a bit of a surprise. Its average inflation time in our standardized test was essentially the same as the larger TPS 300. It was a little slower for its initial inflation from full charge (just over 11 minutes) but it remained more consistent through the battery life. Considering the significantly smaller size, that is pretty good!

It also surprised me by fully inflating our test board 3 complete times and halfway through a 4th before running out of juice. Our test model of the TPS 260 does have a DC power port, but did not come with a 12V cord.

TOPUMP TPS 260/300 Electric Pump Review – Warranty and Customer Support

TOPUMP warranties their electric pumps for 1 year from the date of purchase, which is mostly standard for electric pumps. They do offer a 30-day return window, but only for unused products. Returns, warranty claims, and customer service is handled by Airbank – TOPUMP’s parent company – via email and website contact form.

TOPUMP TPS 260/300 Electric Pump Review – Final Thoughts

TOPUMPs TPS 260 and 300 pumps both bring the same inflation speeds, and have most of the same features, so which one is right for you?

The TPS 300 – the larger of the two – has a higher battery capacity and the option for 12V power operation. If you need to inflate many boards on a single charge or will be out for an extended car camping trip where 12V power may be more accessible, the TPS 300 is the better choice.

The TPS 260 – the smaller of the two – has a slightly smaller battery capacity and no option for 12V power, but is considerably smaller and lighter. If you are traveling or flying, or are looking for a pump to pair with your compact iSUP, the TPS 260 is the better choice.
