Swimline Inflatable Monster Tire Pool Tube

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.

Thought it was bigger than it is but the kids love it

Nice looking float. Ordered to use as a photo prop for Pinewood Derby but unfortunately didn't realize that it came with a hole in it til time for the event and the return window had closed. Super annoying.

Exactly what I expected.

Easy to blow up and perfect size. My kids love them. Just watch out for the black, it gets how in the sun.

Not very big - pretty thin plastic. Worked for the party game we used it for but doubt it would last more than one time in the pool

Ordered it received it today put in pool for our 6 year old to float on and it was good until he got off it and the seam had a hole in it and it patch didn’t work. The bad thing is I ordered 2 and now I am out that money and didn’t have it 2 hrs.

thank you
