The media could not be loaded. I ordered this as a christmas gift for my wife, as we've had a pool installed. The chair was relatively easy to put together. It's a lot of fun and easy to control once you get the hang of the two controllers and the fact that you can rotate them (so one forward, one in reverse will let you turn on the spot).Now the downsides...1) the main chamber of our chair started deflating when left for an hour or so - a slow puncture. It was like this out of the box. We eventually found the leak and used a glue-like repair paste on it, which sorted the problem.2) one of the motor units didn't work a few days after we'd first used the chair. It had been left outside and got rained on a little which might have caused the issue. I narrowed the problem down (by switching parts between the 2 separate units) to the battery box. Further testing with an electrical tester showed one contact was a little bad. I found adding a little ball of aluminum foil between battery and contact gave a better contact.3) there are 6 x 1.5v batteries in each of the 2 motor units. 12 batteries to buy and replace!Despite being designed for use on water the battery box doesn't seem to like the rain. I would certainly not want to risk the chair tipping over or getting splashed too much in the pool. We store it in the garage after each use. We kept it away from children when we had visitors as I don't feel confident it would endure the rougher use that children would give it, and the batteries would be flat pretty soon.For me, and my wife its good fun - its great to be able to motor to the deep end to find some shade and friends really enjoy trying it out. We don't use the motors for hours on end, just a burst to get to other end of pool. I'm not confident it will be durable enough to last a long time - I wouldn't be so bothered if it were cheap, but at this price I'd feel disappointed if it did fail after just a few uses.

   My husband loves relaxing in this chair on the lake on any given Sunday!

   One of the two motors broke after a few uses, I am about a month late on the return window, trying to get in touch with the manufacturer to see if they will remedy the situation. It’s too expensive of a raft for anything to break after a few uses.Was great while it was working!Edit: the manufacture sent us out a new motor, I called them, they looked up the amazon order, and sent me a new motor. Very easy and great customer service!

   Bought for Father¡¯s Day! Took him a bit to actually set it up. It runs on 12 D BATTERIES.It¡¯s fun to scoot around in. Tried it out on a lake and it was pretty funny to watch it just glide along

   I had an issue with a motor that was not working, and I called their service line to report it. In no time at all I was sent a replacement which works fine. They are a good company and they stand behind their products.

   I did have an issue with one motor after first use, but after contacting the company, they shipped a free replacement right away.
