Intex Mega Flamingo, Inflatable Island, 86in X 83in X 53.5in, Pink, Mega Float (56288EP)

The media could not be loaded. It really is a large inflatable! Wow! Multiple people can fit on the swan,it is fairly well-balanced and pretty durable. The kids like to let a bit of air out and pull on the neck of the swan, in an attempt to dislodge the rider and it has held up to this. Last summer, while making a ‘wave pool,’ it caught on the metal rail of our above ground pool. This did rip a wide gash on the side of the swan, we pop a lot of inflatables this way. That is our fault and I do consider the swan to be durable under normal circumstances. We used the repair patch that came with it and it has held up since last summer. Today the swan is slowly leaking from the plastic top of the valve. We will put some Gorilla All-Weather tape on that and see what happens. It does take up a lot of pool area, so we don’t always put it in the pool for that reason. But most days it does end up in the pool and takes a lot of abuse. The swan has brought us many hours of fun and we have definitely gotten our money’s worth.

Wow, what can I say. This float is enormous. We already had an intex air pump which made inflation a breeze. Looks really cool floating in our pool with the giant swan I bought a few years ago. Stated weight limit is 440 lbs, and it is at least six feet across. Unfortunately, it had a slow leak. Amazon took it back and refunded me with no problems. Flamingo number two is doing great! With Flamingo number two the valves were on the top side, not on the bottom as pictured, which did make it easier to inflate. Summer is now drawing to a close here. the flamingo is still holding air, but you need to pump it up a little every day or every other day. The color is starting to fade. The swan has lasted over five years, I am afraid the giant flamingo is not quite as durable, and will be looking quite pale next summer, but she is spectacular in a turquoise blue pool on a sunny day!

The pool toy is great. My husband is 6'1/235 lbs and fits on it comfortably. Make the purchase you won't be disappointed. This review is about Amazon's customer service. We have had the Flamingo for about 2 weeks. We were pretty sure it had a slow leak but its so big you could still float on it. As of this Sunday I decided to go ahead and return it because it is a bit of a beast to wrangle out of the pool and refill. Getting a replacement was painless. Helpful hint - unlike other pool toys this is too big to store blown up and too much trouble to let the air out every Sunday evening. We can get some pretty strong wind gusts and have lost pool toys, umbrella's etc. We bought some nylon rope and actually tied it down inside the pool. We have rings in our pool for a volleyball net but you could also run the rope through the handles and stake outside the pool.

5 billion stars. Took the party island flamingo out on our lake and it was the best thing in the world. Easily to blow up with an air mattress pump and air compressor. Very durable, left it tied to a tree and dock overnight and no scratches in the plastic (made sure to keep it away from sharp parts of the dock), also survived several instances of being pulled out of the water over grass/sticks. Easily fit 5 adult women. We used our own anchor since it's a deep lake, the cooler fit several beverages and snack items and a few ice packs. Deflated about as well as any blow up float does. I only wish I bought this at the beginning of the summer so I could enjoy it more, I can't wait to get it out next summer. Don't hesitate, just get it, no regrets.

In a summer with limited activities and no local pools open....we have had way too much fun at the beaches with this massive wonder, which my children promptly named Betty. It blows up surprisingly fast, in about 15 minutes with a battery operated air pump, and has held up really well to being dragged in and out of lakes and kids jumping on and off. We haul it in a oversized rubbermaid container, and usually re-inflate when returning home to rinse off the sand. If you are looking to make a spectacle of yourself and embarrass your teenagers at the local swimming beach, this is definitely the way to do it. (But FYI I would recommend bring a kayak paddle, she floats away in a hurry with everyone on board!) BUY THIS YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

I bought this duck to float on at a lake and its been comfortable for two. Blowing it up is a bit of a process even with an air compressor. Once it was blown up, it was fun, but because it was being used at a lake, it was important to be careful with it. I haven't needed the patch yet however I wouldn't be shocked if I do soon. It feels as though it would do well in a pool but at a lake its important to be careful. I handles small waves from passing boats and jet skis well. I have thoroughly enjoyed this product and would recommend it to a friend with a large pool or lake.

Loved this floaty. I bought it for a lake trip. It worked great the entire time. I used a pump to blow it up. If I didn't it would have taken much longer.The swan held the air good. It fits up to 3 adults, but 2 is more comfortable. I layed on it with a friends and it carried us around. I have to mention this swan catches some air. Everytime I use it it floats fast and far. I would suggest tying it down so you don't drift far. I forgot to tie it down while no one was on it and I almost lost it down the lake. It was so fast. Luckily someone caught it and rowed it back to me lol.I've now used it a handful of times in the lake and pool. Works great, looks cute, and is sturdy.
