My crappy Canadian tire pump has crapped out, so I've decided on these 3 from Amazon at the max $90 budget.
You guys use pumps everyday and for years. Which of these would you rely on?

I have my Topeak since 2014 and it’s still going strong!
I have a Joe Blow and they last for years.
Your prices look very high though. I’d look in bike shops rather than Amazon.
Will it be kept in your garage or are you planning on taking it places??
Only reason why I ask is if it’s staying in your garage spend a little more on a compressor, yes it’s overkill but when you’re trying to seat them tubeless tyres or just fed up of pumping it will pay dividends.
Rule Nr 1:
Never buy bike stuff of amazon
As much as I like lezyne their floor pumps are abysmal, both chuck types have their own problems. I’ve tried countless pumps and this one takes the cake

Silca terra was on sale direct from their site. Would recommend
I have Joe Blow and a cheaper one also. Both do the job intended.
I love my Lezyne pump. It came with a screw-on fitting which was annoying, but they sell clamp-on fittings you can swap.
I’ve got Lezyne and Topeak track pumps and they are good but I’ve got cheap plastic pumps that do the job equally as well and lightweight plastic is good for traveling.
Personally I’d go for the one with the easiest to read guage!
Joe Blow is good, but should be like half that price from not Amazon.
Beto for 20€ since 5 years. Have Topeak Smartgauge and Lezyne Booster for 120€, don’t use it anymore, because i am able even to install tubeless with Beto.
Lezyne for me. Two pumps fills about 5-6 psi so to me it’s a great pump. The chuck is reversible so when you unscrew it just need to make sure it’s unscrewing from the valve and not the pump itself But that’s just something you get used to very quickly.
I’ve got that Lezyne pump at the top and it’s really good quality. Nice wooden handles, all metal construction except for the base, and really high quality mechanism that screws onto the valve. It’s a nice solid aluminium piece unlike many plastic ones on the market.
I bought a joeblow for 50$ last month that pricing is insane. Get the topeak one imo it’s the best one but buy somewhere else 85 is crazy.
Lezyne here too. Love it. I’ve had it for at least 10 years.
Bought a Joe Blow years ago and it still works perfectly fine, never had any problems and don’t know anyone that ever had.
I have one from aldi 5,99€ lasts for 6 years now….
Thank you everyone. I like the lezyne but I’m not a fan of the screw-in design as my tpu inner tube doesn’t have threads on.
Also the currency is in CAD. So $85 CAD is about $58 USD
I volunteered at a co-op for a decade. We settled on mostly Joe blow pumps. It isn’t the best pump ever, but very good, and Topeak has the best spare parts availability. Twin head is great if you aren’t rough with it.
None of you are going to tubeless
I spent like $30 for a brand name German floor pump. From a bike store that does mail order as well. I am in Denmark.
Lezyne is very solid stuff. Mine is lezyne, quite a few years old now.
The Topeak is very solid. Not in this picture, but I would also definitely look at SKS. Their Rennkompressor is a very durable and easy to repair floor pump.
I got one from lidl 6 years ago. i replaced the crappy head with the SKS EVA valve which is amazing. large metal base. The pump handle died recently, I drew and 3D printed a new handle and it’s still going!
the new pump from lidl now has a smaller base and smaller dial… and more expensive. but for the price one shouldn’t really complain imo.
Leyzne would be my pick
