SWIMLINE ORIGINAL 19700 MEGA Inflatable Swan Pool Float Floatie Ride-On Lounge W/ Stable Legs Wings Large Rideable Blow Up Summer Beach Swimming Party Lounge Big Raft Tube Decoration Toys Kids Adults

We're going to do this as a before use/after use review, because it really is spectacular looking in my backyard, but that's not use.Before Use:Giant - - Read the dimensions and do the math. If you're looking for a pool float for the kids, this ain't it; 12'x10'x6' DWARFS the inflatable tender that we have for our boat. This is almost 40lbs of seemingly quality vinyl and construction that's guaranteed to please the sun lounging music loving beverage consuming crowd.A LOT of air - - High volume low pressure pump is going to pay spades inflating the 11 separate chambers with 5 separate valve sizes. Do not attempt to inflate with your little 1 piston garage compressor, that low volume high pressure pump doesn't stand a chance. Don't try to inflate by mouth, because unless your entire family are professional tuba players, your lungs can't put out the volume required before you pass out.Check for leaks before deploying - - On delivery our exterior packaging was a little banged up, with both the outer box and inner boxes dented a bit. Fortunately the major damage was constrained to the exterior box, and the contents were unharmed. 1 patch, couple of "take a picture, get a coupon" promotion type items, and a stick/tube to wedge the interior valve stoppers open when the party is over. Pick up the sticks in the yard, roll out a tarp, and get after inflating. Don't overdo the pressure on the first pass, let the material work out it's wrinkles, come back for another pass to firm things up. Nothing would be worse than unfolding 40lbs of vinyl at the main event only to find out you have a seam defect or something to fix!Stay tuned . . . will review again after use this weekend!

This float is awesome!!! Get ready for some family fun with this swan! So glad I made this purchase
