    Looks fun, but it’s not good quality. Batteries don’t last, the steering wheel always comes apart. Doesn’t stay inflated long. Super slow.

    This is so fun!! It adds something extra fun to your pool party. It for sure turned heads and people asked to ride. I will say you have to be careful getting in and out.

    We bought 3 for our grandkids and we noticed on one, after a minutes of play that partnof the seam was seperated so it deflated. :(... so check seams carefully.

    Should have listened to other reviews and not wasted over hundred dollars on 2! One broke after first time in pool, second one broke shortly after. Not water worthy! Do not waste your money.

    My toddler loved this and was easy to use and set up. Lasted the whole season in above ground pool. For 2nd season the squirt gun still works but not the propeller. We use the energizer rechargeable batteries and have had no issues.

    Fun boat, broken watergun

    These are a fun addition to the pool. Weight limit of 100 may be pushing it. Bought for our 9 year old, who weights 70 pounds, and she fits in it nicely. Our 11 year old who is 85 pounds fills it up completely. The water gun shooter broke after a week. But the boat still moves around the pool with the propeller.

    I wouldn’t buy these. They don’t last more than a few weeks with regular use. The motor stops working as does the water gun. Now we use them as floats only. Good for a few uses max.

    Fun and easy to use!

    I am an employee of Best Buy and was so excited to try this out on our lake. I got this for my 4yo daughter to use at our cabin - it was so easy to fill up and set up. You do need 8 D size batteries, but could use rechargeable ones so they last longer. This was very easy for my daughter to hop on and start using right away. It was a big hit with boats that would drive by and was fun for people to watch her cruise around on her own and try to squirt us while we kayaked next to her. So far so good! I would definitely recommend getting a pair of them. This came with one bumper boat, so I think that a pair of them would be even more fun for kids. It says it goes up to 100 lbs and my daughter is around 40ish, so she has a lot of room to grow into this.

    Nice pool toy for my baby boy (3). He loves it. My others kids are just over the weight limit of 100lb & can't enjoy it. ): only thing i don't like is it takes 8 D size batteries....& it didn't run as long as I expected. Wish it were rechargeable.

    I bought 2 on sale and they were much fun at first but having to buy I think 8-D batteries for each then they die out so fast. Only used for 2 weeks and both floats started deflating slowing and 1 stopped working altogether. I wish they would have lasted longer. Don’t buy full price, they won’t last.

    These are a “blast” but not very durable. I bought three of these but two of them broke in the first few times playing.

    Ok, first off I will say that these are VERY fun. Weight limit in the real world is about 75lbs. The reason for the 2 star review is that they break easily and customer service for the 45-day warranty is a huge pain in the rear. They make it as hard as possible to get any type of help.

    Not Worth The Air to Fill It

    Bought two of these hoping or a little summer fun with my boys by the pool. The first day was great slow moving boats appropriate for my 5 and 3 year old to maneuver around and the water gun wasn’t so strong I had to worry about about them blasting each other in the face. The next day one of the battery was dead on one of the boats, no big deal maybe I put old batteries into it. So I changed them out and the boat worked just fine. Over the next week or so everything went well. Then just last week Same Stupid boat dead in the water. Changed out the batteries yet again only this time the boat wouldn’t work at all. So less than 30’s, I have two screaming kids by the pool fighting over the one boat that was working. We have two great boat shaped floats in our pool.

    I purchased two of these for my son, and both of them got small holes in the inner tubes within the first three or four uses. It is impossible to buy replacement inner tubes. It was also impossible to determine where the small leaks were coming from. We still have the propellers and the squirter’s which appear to be the most expensive portion of the item however, there is no way possible to get replacement Inner tubes through Bonzai. Plus their customer service is horrible.

    It’s cool for lighter weighted kids. My 11 year old is about 65 pounds and it was slow as snails. But my 7 year old who weighs about 40 lbs was getting it. So I guess it depends on the weight to have a blast
