Versatile Floor Pump
After referencing written and video reviews of floor pumps I chose the JoeBlow Booster floor pump because it best fit my needs. It can handle low pressure and high pressure applications and is easy to use. I especually like the long hose, smart head, and top mounted gauge. Yes, it is pricey, but IMHO well worth the cost.
Good for tubeless - not great for inflating
I bought this pump after struggling to get good bead seating with tubeless setups on some rim/tire combos. The Booster Pump feature is fantastic. Seriously, this will seat just about any tube/tire combo with less fuss than using an air compressor and definitely better than trying to use a standard floor pump for tubeless which is almost impossible. Where this pump fails though, is doing double duty as a regular floor pump. The Topeak "SmartHead" should probably be renamed "FrustrationHead." I have two trikes and a cargo trailer and because they're all 20" wheels or 16" the SmartHead is almost impossible to engage with a Schrader valve. The ONLY Schrader valve this pump will engage with on the FIRST TRY is going to be a fully threaded valve stem like a Schwalbe with a nut that locks it into place in the rim. A standard Schrader will push back into the rim and there's almost no way to get the pump head to engage with them on the first try. It takes several tries and usually having to completely deflate a tire to be able to gain enough purchase to shove the valve stem into the pump head. It works fine on Presta valves, but even then it feels like there's too much room and you feel afraid that you're going to bend the stem on a Presta valve as well. Honestly, their older design with a different Presta/Schrader head on either side is a better design than this "Smart Head." Honestly, I have to give it 1 star because it's WAY too expensive for what it does and the fact that as a regular pump it fails miserably in usefulness. Unless you have LOTS of tubeless tires to do on a regular basis, I'd give this pump a hard pass. Either use an air compressor or find another booster solution from another manufacturer. This just isn't worth the expense.
Quality product
Very pleased with this chamber pump for from Topeak. Works really well right out of the box and has a quality construction. This is a must have for maintaining tubeless tires and getting them set properly. The SmartHead that adapts to presta and schrader valves makes for an efficient pump process without requiring extra steps.
One year failure
Completely failed after a year of light use. Would not generate any pressure.
A disappointment that was returned to sender
I held out high hopes for this pricey pump, but ended up returning it. I tried every known method to get it to seat the bead on my tubeless set-up and it did not work. I must've pumped that chamber to the max 6 different times and it failed each time. I tried getting the tire warm and using the soapy water method around the rim. My guess would be that the SmartHead is not actually very smart and they would be better off to have separate, dedicated attachment heads.
