We had a hard time finding this brand of floatie. They were sold out everywhere. Our old one had seen better days and had gotten a lot of use. We bought cheaper ones. They work but not as well or as comfortable. Well worth the price (which we thought was a lot). We are very happy with it.Most pool floats last maybe 2 seasons tops. This lasted me for 4 or 5 seasons. I was very impressed. It was my favorite pool floaty. Very comfortable. First off, I am a plus size woman. It's sturdy. It also withstood the claws of my two chihuahuas all that time! Only reason I threw it out is because the mesh finally ripped through. It still held air better than any floaty I've ever had and I never had to patch it once. It was with great sadness that I had to pop it with a pairing knife before I stuffed it on the trash. I would purchase is again!I'm 6'-5" and 240 pounds and have enjoyed floating on this item near my vacation home on Lake Michigan.I'm only giving this item 4 stars because I've only used it a couple of weeks so I can't vouch forit's durability. It does look pretty well made.I found the other post amusing rating it low because it would not stand up to her dogs. I think if youdon't use the float for the amusement of dogs, rattle snakes, or barn yard animals it will hold up well.I bought two of these for our new pool for my husband and myself. They are, in my opinion, the best floats I've ever had the pleasure to use. They are easy to get in and out of, they are durable and if the pool didn't have sides to bump into, I'd fall asleep floating around in this. Allows you to stay cool. Love, love, love it! Relaxing and wonderful. We don't have kids around, so I don't know how it would stand up as a toy.Love this. It's holding up just fine so far - have been using it for about 6 weeks now and haven't had to add any air, no leaks or any other problem. It's used by adult sized people (including teenagers) and also by active kids. I really enjoy the mesh that keeps me cool in the water while still floating and relaxing. It's definitely my favorite lounger and I will be ordering more!I ordered two of these and after just one use, the mesh pulled apart from the blue cloth, causing a rip in the seam on the blue cloth. I am going to have to hassle with packaging this back up and sending it back. Otherwise it is a pretty neat lounger as you can sit in it and relax while still being in the water, thus staying cooler.We were looking for an inexpensive float for the lake. We bought two of these & they definetly fit the bill They are great because they let water in the mesh area while still keeping us afloat. We work great for me & my husband. Also they fold up pretty well.Best lounger ever!! Easy to travel with- easy to inflate and deflate!Easy to inflate as there's only the outside ring to blow up. Light as a feather and folds small as the middle bit is all mesh so it's great for travelling. Nice fabric texture, not the sweaty plasticky feel of a standard lilo. The only thing some might not like is your body sinks a bit into the water as the mesh is obviously not buoyant, you don't float above the water - but I like being a bit in the water especially on a hot day. Bought one to try and I've just ordered another oneOnly used twice and seems have already come away exposing the rubber inner tube, mesh centre now insecure. Rubber seal around inflation valve has separated fro outer layer so it now catches and opens the valve so it deflated while you are in the water on it. Great idea, lightweight etc but waste of money as such poor quality.Tried to find a way of contacting company to see if it was a batch fault but can’t find a contactSimple design, but incredibly effective. Really comfortable for lying around in the pool, much better than any lilo type product ive ever had.Probably not as robust as those and not so much of a pool toy for the kids, but absolutely genius for the adults.Normally I'd leave these things at the pool when the holiday is over, but this one came home with us!Have had 2 of these now. They are great, very comfortable and stable. You do need to treat with care and not over inflate as the seam between mesh and sides is not over strong. Having said that my son and grandson were fairly rough larking about on the first one before the seam started to come apart, and we can still use it just for laying in. Pleased overall.Have used these lilos before and love it. Easy to blow up, the mesh means you are in the water to keep you cool. I have a square inflatable spa in garden and I can use this and wallow in the water whilst sunbathing. Advise to take down when not in use as foxes do like to play with them and burst them!
