Aqua Monterey Multi Purpose Inflatable Portable Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "We’ve used this a handful of times each week for the last month and they are still like new."
• "They last just as long as the expensive ones."
• "The overall design and (apparent) durability of these is great."
• "One of the best things about these floats is they pack well. We have taken them on numerous vacations to the Caribbean and every trip we say we will just leave them at the resort and most often we bring them back because they are still in good shape, deflate easily and pack well."
• "They held up so well we packed them back home."
• "I have not had to refill the pillows with air since the initial inflation on June 7th."
• "They don't lose air, they're comfortable in multiple positions, they pack up small, they have a million colors, they're inexpensive, and they last."

Cons:

• "I wish this product was more durable because it is so comfortable!"
• "In June, both hammock floats are not inflated, and lose air very rapidly."
• "We bought four for our vacation and within three days all four were leaking air and we were constantly having to blow them back up."
• "After just a few uses, I noticed signs of wear and tear, such as loose stitching and fraying material."
• "Read the reviews where a lot of people said theirs sprung a leak..I didn't think it would happen with my purchase but there I was last week at the resort and the second day one end pillow was leaking air."
• "However the netting ripped along the seam line within an hour of use."
• "I only had this float for 6 weeks and it now has a leak."

Comfort

Pros:

• "Love how versatile they are and that you can sit in it, straddle it or lay on it."
• "You can lay and use them in multiple ways, all comfy!"
• "Great portable float for adults that is easy to get in and back out. Very comfortable and stable."
• "This is definitely the float that is most comfortable for adults to relax on in the pool, and is made even better by it's flexibilty to sit on it in different ways instead of just lay on it."
• "So comfortable to lay back in and relax. The built-in pillow wraps around your head and is sooo comfy."
• "I love that it has a sturdy canvas cover over the inflated parts so it felt very durable."
• "Once you're settled into it, it's extremely relaxing."

Cons:

• "The mesh part that connects the two inflatable sides is very rough and uncomfortable."
• "It barely held my way and I’m not big at all. The netting kept digging into my back and legs I would never buy it again."
• "Be careful of wedgies in certain positions."
• "The material is like a fishing net that can cause to get caught on your feet and it gets uncomfortable to just to sit on it."
• "It is smaller and so a lot less comfortable for adults to use."
• "Do not care for product. Hard to use ...like box pictures unless u r maybe a 2 year old. You can not comfortable lay down."
• "The mesh material is fairly coarse."

Portability

Pros:

• "One of the best things about these floats is they pack well. We have taken them on numerous vacations to the Caribbean and every trip we say we will just leave them at the resort and most often we bring them back because they are still in good shape, deflate easily and pack well."
• "They take almost no space when flattened out for travel."
• "Easy and light to pack for vacation."
• "It rolls up to take up almost no room for storage."
• "They are very small and easy to fit in a carry-on."
• "Fits easily in your truck and isn’t bulky when carrying it."
• "Perfect for fitting in a carry-on suitcase."

Cons:

• "I was sent an address label to return it and the postage required would have been more than I paid for it in the first place!"
• "It took forever to be shipped but the quality seems better than a similar product I bought and lasted only a few uses."
• "I received the 2 packages and they are not the Aqua brand... What I got is made of regular, thin, plastic and the edges are of the same materials."
• "I ordered this back in March and foolishly didn't open the package until today (7/3). The return window is closed."
• "I bought the orange ones and they have already faded."
• "If you lay down on it, you’ll be folded up like your a taco."
• "It is hard to blow up and then won’t hold air."

Quality

Pros:

• "The overall design and (apparent) durability of these is great."
• "I love that it has a sturdy canvas cover over the inflated parts so it felt very durable."
• "The material feels more like fabric, rather than plastic like many pool floats."
• "This one feels better to the touch. The others are plasticky like a beach ball, but this one is 'velvety' (for lack of a better word) and feels comfortable on the skin."
• "The inflatable pillows are made out of a durable canvas type material over what seems to be a thick plastic."
• "The vinyl is thick and strong and the netting is well done."
• "This float seems to be great quality so far and it was priced better than local stores with similar products."

Cons:

• "Well, for $25- I assumed it was much better quality and size."
• "After just a few uses, I noticed signs of wear and tear, such as loose stitching and fraying material."
• "The inflatable portions feel more plastic where the other float felt like a plastic/fabric hybrid."
• "Cheap price equals cheap product."
• "Kind of cheaply made. Plastic head rests."
• "The two tubes at each end were of thin plastic type and the netting isn't very durable."
• "This float is very cheaply made."
