    I do NOT recommend these! I thought they’d be fun for the kids like at the fair/water parks but no! First yes I got them on sale for about $25.00 (so $75.00 total for 3) but then had to turn around and spend over $60.00 on batteries!! Too that off with , they barely move! My kids ended up taking the motors off and using them as regular floaties. I’ll never purchase them again.

    My grandkids love the bumper boat. I bought two the only thing is one faster than the other but I’m not gonna return it because it’s OK for my youngest granddaughter. You always need more than one for them to have fun. Unfortunately when you’re ordering online you can’t get the different colors they send you all the same colors.

    Absolutely terrible. I could probably starch a mini fan to the top of a regular float and move faster. Bought two of them and the motor in one of them died in two days… I waited until they were 29.99 and even at that price, totally not worth it. A waste of $70

    These floats are good for little kids but not for big boys like me. I'm a biggun: 250 pounds of prime USDA man flesh and I was slightly too big for these floats...they probably would have been fun when I was 4 years old, but not when I'm 47. Oh well, they were fun until I submerged them like the U571 U-boat.

    Ordered two one only worked for 2 minutes then stopped Orange rusty water poured out of the propeller housing and would not come back on , I took that one back for return , the other lasted about 2 more weeks before the floor on the raft tore and kids could no longer sit inside the raft , and Best Buy said return date had past but was less than 30days these are cheaply made , son loved it while the one lasted , if they where made of higher quality I would recommend, but not these

    Cool product but doesn't last. The boats stopped working after the first couple uses. The motors no longer work on ours but the squirt gun part does. Contacted the company but the process of getting a replacement was difficult. The company wants video of the boat not working and for you to record swapping of motors if you have two boats. We just took the loss and didn't get a replacement.

    My kids (3, 5, and 8) all love this item. The main drawback as far as I'm concerned is the recommendation to remove the batteries after every use. While it's simple enough to do, it's kind of a pain to do it on multiple every time.

    I wanted to like these so much. I bought two for my nieces to play with. They both stopped working, one within a few minutes of being assembled. I purchased them on sale for $35, which is why I'm even giving them three starts, because if they DO work, even once, its a very cool product. Hopefully the company fixes the electrical issues, because these have so much potential.

    Pretty disappointing overall. Takes 8 D-batteries, motor is pretty weak, and one of the two I bought already doesnt shoot water anymore. Return period ended 3 days before I looked into return or replacement. Making a fun pool experience into one kid being disappointed they are stuck with the broken one. And here I was hoping for more than a season out of them. 1 month and your playing with house money

    Two out of four defective

    These bumper boats are pretty cool, if you get ones that aren't defective. I purchased four of these and two of them were defective out of the box. If you purchase these, fill them up with air and let them sit for a while before you use them. I had two that deflated in an hour without use. When they first came, I took one out for my kid to check out. I pumped it up and he used it for a few minutes. After it sat for a bit, it started getting softer. He didn't do anything to it that could have caused a leak. I took the remaining three boats out of the box and filled them up. After an hour, one of the others had deflated as well. Exchanging them is a nightmare because most Best Buy stores don't carry them in-store.

    They have held up well so far and I would purchase again but never at the original retail price since they are not work that much. On sale it is a decent value though.

    Loved the boat. Lots of fun but only one time!!! Bottom filled with water and motorized boat not motorized anymore. Sick!! $70 down the drain. Bought a second one. Haven’t used it yet. Would like a replacement for the first boat as obviously something was wrong!!

    Purchased 2 while at sale price. The children used it for about 30 minutes before it stopped working and began getting flat. Don’t waste your money. Horribly made. For those that decide to purchase this item don’t forget to also purchase batteries for it.

    I need to take 2 of the 5 I purchased back. Used only ONE time each and the boat looses air without an indication of why it’s deflating. Also, each unit takes 8 YES 8 Size D batteries! They only last one 4-6 hour day..... now you are paying just as much for the unit as you are for the batteries!
