Giyo GF55PT Floor pump  Lyle OKeefe, Sydney
For the price it is a great pump. Other than taking a maximum of about 10 seconds to work out the attachment, it pumped to 110psi very easily.

Looks like a perfectly fine pump to me.

Giyo floor pump  Jeffrey Yee, Hamilton East
Very good price. Excellent pump. Convenient head for both valve types. Why pay the big bucks for something this good?

You get what you pay for.....  Ian Boylan, Glen Waverley
My first one of these broke within a few weeks. T7 were very quick to replace it, but the replacement is now also broken. Same problem as other reviewers with the valve head. Save a bit longer and buy a good pump from one of the recognised pump manufacturers.

Worst attachment ever  Yvonne Hopkins, PERTH
The pump works great - once you finally get it attached to the valve. I find the twist top attachment extremely difficult to use. By the time I get the dial turned the correct way all the air is let out of tyre and the valve has recessed into the rim. Change the lock mechanism and it would be great.

Very happy! Works well and the value!  Grumpy Smurf, Perth
Have just pumped up 2 mountain bikes, a road bike and 2 kids bikes - all without much effort at all. The twist valve took a bit of getting used to, but is not a problem.

Also, as my 1st order, I was disappointed with Torpedo 7 taking 10 days to deliver.

Great pump  Stig Manning, RICHMOND
Easily gets to high pressures (110psi) for road racing tyres.
Sturdy and secures well to presta valves.

the best  forza ASSYRISKA, sydney
I was going to buy a $100 pump that did the same thing.

Great pump once you know how  Paul Cavallin, ROSTREVOR
Little confusing to work out but once understood great pump.

Pretty effective  Gus Campbell, GLENROY
Good value on sale. Works a treat for me. No need for instructions its fairly basic (you just twist the connection head). Better than some. Has lasted 3 months of pumping often, expect it to continue.

Cheap but effective  Anthony Bratovich, ASHGROVE
The pump works great and easily creates huge pressures in a few pumps.
The gauge however is useless, and gives inaccurate readings. So your pretty much just buying a pump, but a good, well priced one!

GIYO floor pump  David Pinney, PORTARLINGTON
I looked for a floor pump with metal barrel.
The price was red hot.
Item arrived promptly.
The schrader side works well...up to 60lb from flat in about 18 pumps.
The twist action is quite positive and works well.
I would say its value for money.

Value For Money?  Steven Kay, Thirroul
Some people can get just a bit too picky. This is a budget priced floor pump that does exactly what it is designed for. I have used this pump for 6 months to keep the tyres up on 6 bikes, keep the wifes' swiss ball keeping her looking good, and keep the kids soccer balls at perfect pressure. It will pump a presta road tyre to 130psi with ease and is well made considering the price. If you want a Ferrari don't buy a Hyundai!

Not good  Bruce Dennien, CROYDON
Inaccurate pressure guage. Not up to the quality I am used to.

WORKS WELL  peter michie, NORTH EPPING
The twist seal is a bit tough, that aside it performs well for the price.

Cheap valve and Too Short  josh whetham, newcastle
I have to agree with the previous comments. The valve isn't the highest of quality and the twist-seal took me ages to figure out how to use without instructions. Better off spending an extra few dollars and getting a higher standard model.

GIYO High Pressure Floor Pump  Roger Featherston, Ballan
Excellent value for money pump. After problems with other Presta pumps this one is good value. Pump action smooth and easy to inflate to 120psi.

GIYO pressure floor pump - GF - 55PT review  Steven Perry, MARIBYRNONG
I concur with some of the earlier feedback. I experienced breakage of a prest valve on the first use. My pump came without any instructions for use not impressed with that.

This pump is better than the hand pump I had been using.
Being a pressure pump, instead of volume pump it is much easier for high pressures.

I like the red arrow on the dial to set a target and pump away without having to keep checking whether you've pumped to the right pressure.
It will be handy having both the presta/schrader pump head.

I also don't like the execution of the pump head; to pump presta valves you'd have to engage the valve very deep into the pump head which have led to damaged valve 'cores?', to twist-seal the pump head is not as easy as a lever.

good price, works fine  Kent Gregory, Erindale
I can't say if its the best floor pump or the worst, but I do know its a lot better than pumping up tyres using the hand pump. No trouble getting 100psi.

GIYO High Pressure Floor Pump - GF-55PT  Thom Chubb, Holder
I bought this pump for the stellar Weekly Special price and thought I had found a bargain. Unfortunately the valve head broke within two weeks of purchase, so that it cost me $8.50 per use, which when you think about it, is not very good value. Otherwise the pump was fine to use, and not particularly hard work to get up to pressure.

crappy velve head  tyler hamilton, STRATHFIELDSAYE
