I haven't tried that out yet. I bought the bed in August 2016 so that my girlfriend could sleep on it. The bed is relatively heavy in its packaging, so that a man has to grip it well with both arms when carrying it. After unpacking, it became clear that the quality is relatively high. The pump and the connections are integrated in the bed. Now comes the interesting part, namely the inflation: the pump was easy to connect via the 220V socket. In operation, the pump was relatively loud, so that you could still hear it clearly at the other end of the flat. I didn't measure the time, but it takes about 5-10 minutes until the bed is fully inflated in the living room. Now came the crux of the matter for me! After inflating it, my (then) girlfriend thought the bed was too hard to sleep on! I then deflated it a bit, which made the bed much softer, so that you could almost fall in easily (5-10cm). In the end, my (then) girlfriend's parents slept on the bed so that my girlfriend could sleep in my bedroom on an Ikea mattress, which she found much more comfortable than the inflatable bed! So I found it easy to sleep on as a guest, it was soft and more comfortable, and much better than the other guest beds. I hope that I have been able to help you a little in your decision-making process with my experience described here.
