Motorized Pool Lounger

The media could not be loaded. Overall, i recommend this product. If you are willing to spend 200 on a motorized pool float then don't hesitate, get it lol I have included a quick and easy video for your viewing pleasure!!Pros- Can adjust yourself anywhere in the pool or a lake (away from the sun or towards or away from people lol)- Can go in 360, front, back and side to side- Big, comfortable floatCons- I had to return first one as it got a hole in the seam under the back rest (it does come with a patch) but for 200 i want a new one and do not want to rely on patching it myself in case it does not work or comes off right after return period for example- Make sure you put the handles correctly together because first time i did it i had one handle going forward and one going backwards- A con about the design is, you kind of lean backwards meaning yes, there is a back rest but i find myself really feeling like i am slouching backwards not propped up. I would recommend they build the next model with a higher backrest and lumbar support area so you can sit up more straight and not slouched down like in a couch lol**Please see my video and click helpful if you found my review helpful. Have a great day!!

The media could not be loaded. Too much fun! I don't own a pool so I've been using it in small bodies of open water; Disclaimer my use is way outside of the recommended guidelines.Lot of questions about battery life so I'll answer that first. I have about 4 hours of water time and would guess more than 1/2 of that was motor use and the batteries are still strong (Rayovac). I try not to burn the motors for more than 2-3 minutes at at time so that might help the battery life. Steering takes a bit to get use with the independent motors. Once you figure it out it moves right along.Always test the motors before seating them in the controller. I'm using it in saltwater and rinse it after every use. I take it to the beach in the car so I have to put it together and take it down each time. Getting the motors off of the controller can be a pain. I found that a ball point pen helps to depress the buttons holding it together.Everywhere we've taken it we're asked where to get one. Even the owners of the multi-million dollar yachts in the harbor were jealous!

I bought the large lounger with 2 propellers and the small tube with one propeller.The lounger lasted just over a month before one of the propellers stopped working. So I can’t send it back.The small one stopped working after 3 uses. I'm trying to replace it now; but PoolCandy is making that difficult.I started the return. The instructions said that I would get a new one and that I needed to ship back the broken one within 7 days from receiving the new one.Then without any notification, they cancelled my order for the new one.I only knew that it was cancelled after it didn't arrive - and I had to search for the order in Amazon.They buried the cancellation so you couldn't see it unless you were actively looking for it.I called Amazon and they said that the order was cancelled by PoolCandy.Amazon got me in touch with PoolCandy and now we’re exchanging messages.They are asking me what happened with the float and if I’ve sent the old one back yet - and if not, why.Why they can’t just stick to the exchange plan is beyond me.These are junk. Not worth the money nor the hassle.The one plus is that the lounger is comfortable. But I would look for a non-propeller version.UPDATE: All the original motors have quit working. I did receive a replacement from PoolCandy for the smaller tube. But I'm still exchanging messages on how to return the old one since they cancelled the exchange through Amazon.For the two broken propellers on the lounger, I have figured out the problem is with the micro limit switch inside the handle. It is not waterproof and the handle is not water proof.So as soon as you get moisture inside the handle, it's game over.And it's really easy to get water inside the handle from the gaps around the button.If you have really wet hands and you push down on the button, water can drip from your hands inside the handle.I believe rain also causes this because two of the three motors that failed were working when we stopped using them.It was when we tried to use them on days after it had rained that we discovered that the two quit working.Another issue that I found is that they have this very thin piece of plastic that is delicately suspended between the red button and the limit switch.That little piece of plastic breaks off *VERY* easily - and when that happens, the button can no longer press the switch.This can be fixed by just gluing that little piece of plastic to the bottom of the red button.The micro limit switches are cheap. I found replacements on Amazon for ~$7 for a dozen. And I'm also getting silicone conformal coating for ~$20. I should be able to replace and waterproof the switches with these two items and some wire, solder, etc. that I already have.If all of this works out, then I'm glad I got these floats.They are fun and guests often fight over the lounger because it is so comfortable.But if I can't get this to work; then it was a huge waste of money.After thought: Maybe an easier fix would be to put condoms over the handles. It wouldn't be pretty, but it would be a conversation starter.

I bought five of these rafts. I just put them together today. Eight of the ten propellor assemblies them worked as they are supposed to however the fifth doesn’t work. I swapped batteries and propellers and they just don’t work. I tried to call the company but their voicemail is full. It’s a shame. They look fun. We are waiting for warmer weather to try them but one will not be in service.UPDATE When I emailed the company, they responded within 24 hours and are sending replacements.

Plz folks this product may be better to purchase locally. Sorry to write but one impeller motor seized up after only two uses & have tried to correspond with seller to send me a new motor which they have said they would but that was several days ago & have decided to send it back even if that means taking a 200 dollar loss but hopefully this review will steer U from having the same problem or loss. Totally dissatisfied. Finally got my refund but only because I filed for an A to Z refund through Amazon. Have ask Amazon to find another seller because B&D group sux.

I boat most every weekend and we have a sandbar with many people enjoying the water and fun atmosphere so when i brought this out it is a conversation starter, lots of thumbs up and if I had ten more of them i could sell them all in one weekend! only drawback is that it is a bit bulky when deflating and trying to stow away. regular batteries have worked each weekend so far. buy it and you'll be the envy of the lake like me!!
