Amscan Inflatable Palm Tree Oasis Cooler

This worked perfectly at my last party. It dealt with the ice during the party and the water the ice became after (i.e. no leakage, thankfully). It is cute and festive and really beats a boring ice chest. I am going to stick ornaments on it and use it at Christmas, and pin bows to it for birthdays, and hearts on it for valentines. Only drawback was the amount of time it took to inflate, but if you have a mechanical device it won't be any trouble, just be aware it inflates in about four or five different spots (i.e. the leaves and tree inflates separately from the water and sand, which inflate in two layers, etc)

I used this to hold ice, water and beer for a luau. First, it arrived quickly, which was good since it was a last minute order. Second, the cooler is divided into several separate inflatable sections, 6 or 7, I think. Since I was inflating by mouth, I was able to inflate one or two sections at a time, taking a break between without losing progress. The size was perfect for about 30 pounds of cubed ice, 20 water bottles, and a 12 beer bottles without crowding. It stayed fully inflated for at least 10 hours and did not leak any water. One of my guests also thought it would be a cute wading pool for her 18 month old granddaughter. I recommend this item as a great deal for the price.

The kids really liked it, to play in of course. Keep ice well, no leaks, seemed durable. Not tall but just what I needed to keep some drinks cold. Holds about 15 small drinks or cans.

This was cute for the party, we got two and they held plenty of drinks along with ice just fine. A bit difficult to inflate, requiring too many different inflatable sections. Not sure why the palm tree needed two different inflatable sections and if you don’t start with the leaves, then the trunk then the sides you will find it really difficult to inflate.

What a great addition to our beach parties. Very durable, and can not only stand ice and drinks for up to 25 people, but also - kids playing with it, pulling it around, stepping on it and more. It's the perfect size so that you can use it even for 10 people and it doesn't look too empty, but you can also pile it on for more people and it all fits.It's easy to inflate even on your own - it's not too big so it only tales a few minutes.

I bought this inflatable cooler for my daughter's luau themed dance to keep water bottles cool. Please look at the listed dimensions and my attached pictures. Based on the picture, I really thought it was MUCH larger...it is not big at all! It is cute and keeps drinks cold...just be aware of the size. I would've gotten a different one had I paid attention to the dimensions. For the price, I expected it to be much bigger.

PROS: Bought this for a tailgate and it worked PERFECTLY.We blew it up in the car on the way, took about 8minutes, not bad. It did taste like plastic though.Held a bag of ice and 1.5 cases of beer (depending on how much ice you use) so like 45 beer cans perfectly.People also noticed / loved it and I got compliments.Cons: The party/ tailgate did get agressive, and we ended up ripping the bottom part and had to trash it at the end, so it was a one use wonder- but took up way less space than a cooler (packs completely flat) in the car and worked just as great!

This was a good product, hit of the party (not really THE hit, but a hit nonetheless), but I nearly tossed my cookies when I was blowing it up. It smelled SO bad -- not just like plastic, but plastic with poisonous gasses and powder in it. As I was blowing up each of the 100 sections I had to find the little valve stem for (I'm exaggerating, I think there were only 5 or 6 valve stems), I was wondering if I will mutate because who knows what sort of chemicals I had on my lips and going up my nose.Still totally dug this product, and I still rate this 4 stars because of the "cool factor" involved. It's a neat idea and I plan to use it again in the future. However, I would not want to see any scientific studies of what I exposed myself to as I blew up every section of this.I can't say for sure if I would buy this again. For sure not like ... immediately. I think it will last for a few more social events anyway. But maybe after some time, when I've forgotten how bad it smelled and tasted as I was blowing it up. Maybe this is like one of those things like when you get your ears pierced -- everyone says it doesn't hurt, but it absolutely does. I remember when I was 13 years old and got my ears pierced. Everyone said it wasn't going to hurt and I remember thinking THEY ALL LIED. It did hurt. A lot. Of course now in my 40s, I don't remember the pain. I just remember the feeling of thinking everyone lied. Maybe that's how this will be. After a few years, I will think maybe the smell wasn't all that bad, and I'll buy a similar product. And then I'll remember again. When I poison myself trying to blow it up.Labor of love, my friends, labor of love.
