We had a Joe Blow Sport and replaced it from REI with a Joe Blow whatever-the-next-model-up-is when it stopped working. Now, that one isn't working either - it has a leak in it, so it doesn't pump air unless you seal the spot where the bleeder valve is by hand. My 16 year old brother isn't the softest on equipment.

I purchased something that was originally REALLY expensive on Steep and Cheap (a cutter, I think) and it's been good so far, is light, easy to use, gauge and bleeder valve are conveniently located. I also have a separate Serfas floor pump that I bought on Steep and Cheap as well (with a frame mount pump since my husband needed one) and it's been good so far, but much more lightly used (I leave it in my office at work just in case we need it). It seems relatively run-of-the-mill. Time will tell on them both, I guess.
