Air Loungers, like this one, seem to be the hit new thing this summer. I've started seeing them everywhere, and I understand why, as they're fun to bring outdoors and to use in the pool or at the park. I've used several of them myself, and this one is quite good, but it does have a few downsides.

First of all, it's easy to inflate if you have a lot of room to run, or it's windy, or (easiest of all) if you just inflate it in front of a large fan or AC unit. One inflated, it's comfortable to sit on, can fit multiple people, and you can even go to sleep on it. There's a small pocket you can store things, it floats on the water, and it's a great addition to a day spent outdoors.

There are two issues I have with this air lounger though. First, if you don't have a very large amount of room to run in a straight line to inflate it, this is almost impossible to inflate. You need strong winds or a large field, so if your space is limited to a backyard or small park, you may not be able to get this inflated at all. Second, the air leaks out surprisingly quickly. After just a few minutes in the pool I already felt it deflating, and within the hour it was basically empty. So you will need to re-inflate it.

You should also be aware that it does take some time to dry after being in the pool, so if you take it to a lake or somewhere wet, you'll have to air dry it after to avoid mold!

Those two gripes aside, this is a very comfortable air lounger, and I did enjoy having it this summer!
