Small VS Large
Small Bellows are a good size for traveling or camping. They have a fast pump action for rapid blasts of targeted air. Large Bellows are more traditional in size and have a slower pump action allowing longer blasts of targeted air. This is a good size if you are looking for a Fathers Day gift.
Performance-wise, they both work equally well.
