Swimline Americana Series Side-by-Side Double Ring Pool Lounger, red/White/Blue, 65

So much fun to use as a prop for Oktoberfest pictures!

I really love this pool float and even feel asleep under it. My head was through the big loop and my feet through the two smaller loops.Setting it up and inflating is easy. Make sure to lay it out flat and open (no folds). I use an air compressor and inflate it at a steady pace since the airway to other sections are small. If you inflate it to fast, the large piece at the bottom will expand very large since the air cannot pass through the airway fast enough and fix popping it. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars on easy to inflate. Other than that it is easy to inflate with the single valve stem.If you’re using a small pump or by mouth, you won’t have any issues with inflating it to fast.At the end of the season, I use the suction from a small pump until it is flat and fold it up nicely. I store it, along with other pool toys, in the garage in plastic bags on a shelf.

Ordered for an event and the horse’s head will not stay inflated. Super disappointing as I wont have time to purchase another before the event. Also having to return a half inflated pool float is very inconvenient to get all the air out of, and try to shove it back in the small box it came in and take it to a UPS location when it’s defective.

We had a blast with these floats! I got them for pool fun for my bestie and me during the Belmont Stakes horse race (notice our race hats). They were so much fun and they make great rafts to lay on also. This was a great (and FUN) purchase !!

Popped after a month but enough of a favorite that I bought it again. I bought this for the novelty factor. It immediately became the most popular float in the pool because multiple children could use it at the same time, each child hanging out in a "hole." Unfortunately the material is flimsy in comparison to other large floats and could not handle the wear and tear of use by mutiple children. The float lasted a month before busting a hole.I had no intention of purchasing this poor-quality product again...BUT... after a week of kids' nonstop bickering over whose turn it was to use the remaining floats (we usually invite friends to swim with us and each kids usually wants connection with some kind of float), I broke down and bought this pretzel again. Peace once more! Three kids can play together in harmony. $12 was a reasonable price to pay to end the squabbling, even it only lasts until the end of this season.

Easy to blow up, super convenient that it has a cup holder, and just looks adorable and makes me smile! Had fun using it, and there was no deflation or leakage at all.

I bought this as a throwing target for my son's birthday party. When I took out of the shipping carton and blew it up, I heard the hiss of air. Upon inspection, I could see a small slit near the valve. I immediately contacted the seller who offered to send patch kit (really?). When I explained the severity of problem and the immediate need, the seller kindly and quickly shipped a replacement. The replacement did not hold air overnight but we were able to limp through the party without it deflating completely.At that point, my rating for the product was 1 star. Since that time, the seller has sent me a third replacement. This one is holding air and I look forward to playing with it in the lake this summer. The willingness of the seller to work until product quality issues are resolved has impressed me, but it did take time (almost a month from the time the order was initially placed). I think a better solution would be better quality control on the part of the manufacturer.The thickness of the tube seems reasonable for the price -- adequate for a pool or lake, but I think it would puncture easily if you were trying to use it for tubing down a rocky river. The air valve is quite nice -- squeeze it a bit when blowing in, if you release the compression while taking a breath the valve still holds the air in. And when you are done, you can tuck the valve in so that it's not protruding (nice for keeping bare legs scratch free).So if you get one with no leaks, I think you will be satisfied, and if you don't, persevere -- and allow plenty of time to work through any quality issues.

This is my wife's favorite float. I bought 2 just to have a spare. The first one I bought for her, she loved and used for 4 seasons. It got a hole in it as all floats do sooner or later at my house. ( Grandkids ) I found it again on amazon and bought 2 more. This is the only float she uses.
