Bestway Hydro-Force Rapid Rider 4 Person Inflatable River Tube Water Float Lounger with Built-In Backrests, Cupholders, Coolers, and Handles, Blue

Best purchase. Seats are large to fit all sizes. Nice cup holders and cooler.

This is a really cool river tube and we were super super super excited to try it out with our grandson this week. However, as you will see from the photo, one of the pillows has a leak and is not usable. The mattress takes some time to blow up but is huge and looks like it would be tons of fun for 4 people. Everyone who has seen this thinks it's really cool. I will write more after I see how the seller responds to this issue I have with one of the pillows having a leak. I also wonder why the seller doesn't include any patches with their product like most do. I may take it out in the water this week to attempt to see why the pillow is leaking. It doesn't appear to make a sound when pressed on it, so we can't tell where the leak is. Maybe if I put it in water, bubbles will identify the source of leak. I plan to return the product after I hear from the seller or see if they have other options to remedy this defective tube. However, if the pillow wasn't defective, I would have given it a 5 star rating because it appears to be a really cool raft that our family would be enjoying this week. I will post again after I hear from the seller.Update: I reached out to customer service and they immediately offered remedies to repair, replace or refund my purchase item. They even went so far as to mail me patches if I decided to keep it. My preference was to return and refund me for said purchase. I live in the Upper peninsula of the USA and our swimming time is coming to an end in a few weeks, so I decided to return it for a refund and will consider repurchasing next summer. Customer service immediately gave me a return label and I brought it to our authorized UPS dealer in town on Friday. Much to my amazement, my refund was put back upon my credit card today (Sunday). Throughout the entire experience, this seller worked hard to meet our needs and acted promptly. I would never hesitate to purchase anything from this vendor/seller.

Picture yourself listening to some great music (not included), drinking delicious ice-cold Shandy beer (not included) with a group of your closest friends (also not included) floating on your preferred body of water. Sounds great? That's why I bought this float and that's exactly what I got out of it.The good:Durable - I'm a worrier and kept telling my friends not to step on the seats but they did it anyway. All seats held up to this abuse just fine. I was also able to slowly tow this behind a pontoon with people in it just by tying a rope to the rope that is attached to this float.The two built in storage compartments give a great spot to hold ice/drinks or phones/keys.This thing is massive and floats well. Says it holds 4 people but we had 7 adults and a toddler comfortably for a while.Compact - fits into a decent size box for shipping. Didn't try getting it back in the box but we have plenty of storage space available at the lake so this wasn't a concern for us.The bad:The orientation of the seats and shape of the float mean that all riders have their feet touching in the small center hole. Not horrible, but for people like my brother-in-law who have a big problem with feet this will definitely not not go over well. Simple solution - cross your legs to keep your feet to yourself.It's yellow. Not a big deal but I would have preferred another color. Maybe white or orange?This float was great, we had and will continue to have a great time using it. If we somehow manage to pop it (unlikely since it seems pretty thick and durable) I would definitely buy again as summers will never be the same again without this!

Our family enjoyed used this item often this past summer. Suitable for small kids with adult supervision, teens, and millennial adults, and those 50 years old and up. This held up well in the lagoon waters near our shore home. We tied it up to a boat (separate, additional rope) and just floated and lied there peacefully.The product withstood being dragged out of the lagoon, up onto composite decking, and left resting on a concrete yard surface (and then back into the waters when put to use), without developing a hole or tear. Based on what we invested in this (the cost), we deflated it when it wasn't going to be used for awhile and kept it in a plastic tub away from extreme heat and weather, until we used it again.You need an electronic (or similar) air compressor to inflate this item, since it's large and takes a LOT of air. The drink coolers are inflated separately than the main raft (four other openings to connect the air compressor to, but that goes quickly). This is a LARGE item once inflated, and at least two people are needed to move it into and out of water safely, or one strong person 6 feet tall or so.If someone wants to take this to the beach, it needs to be deflated in transport, and you need to take your air compressor with you, to then inflate it at the beach (and that also probably means a power source brought also to power the compressor).The mesh backing that's under the seats (the part where a person puts their rear end) is much appreciated when floating in waters with jelly fish, such as those waters where we used this product. So, when one sits in this, there is really only one way to do it - your back against the back rest, and feet dangling into the center hole. It does get a little tight in that regard if four people are using the seats.
