IntexInflatable Pool Float: Pool Toy for Kids

For context here, I am an "inflatable furry", which means I am a furry who has a special affinity for inflatable toys. If you don't know what that means, feel free to look it up on YouTube as there is a super informative and wholesome doc about it there. However, this isn't what the review is about so I will move on.Anyways as the review date indicates, I have bought this in February so I haven't had the chance to test riding the toy in a pool yet as intended, however so far I just adore this cute little whale. The blue transparent vinyl is just absolutely beautiful in light, and is pretty soft for most current consumer toy standards*. I will note that these are a little smaller than what they appear to be in photos, so if you're an adult of a larger build and wish to ride the toy in or out of the water, keep this in mind and go with the regular "OG" orca whale instead as it is much bigger and perfect for just about any adult who wants a midsize ride on. However, the Lil Whale is a great size for cuddling and those of us with smaller builds like myself can still ride the toy just fine either in or out of water if that is something you wish to be able to do.My only suggestion for Intex regarding improvement would be to make the right pectorial and tail fins a separate air chamber for both added durability and the ability to not inflate the entire toy for cleaning or "impromptu cuddling in small space" purposes if you wish, plus randomly having the left pectorial fin be a seperate air chamber whereas the other isn't just makes no sense to me. Otherwise for the price, this is a solid inflatable and a must have if you collect them!*It's certainly not Inflatable World quality softness wise but for a consumer grade toy, it isn't bad at all. I also will recommend the Poolmaster hippopotamus that's also featured in the review photo as a great must-have consumer ride on for our community as while it is a bit more expensive, it is decently large, has quite soft vinyl yet a durable build and has that signature smell when first opened; which is the only thing about the Lil Whale I was slightly disappointed about as mine hardly had a smell at all when first unboxed and the faint smell it did have was that new smell a lot of Intex and Bestway toys have now instead of the sweet classic smell of the old stuff (iykyk).

INTEX FLOATS ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST in my experience! Heavy duty, can withstand lots of weight and wear and tear and countless uses.Held air entire day, bigger than I expected.I love the flamingo float and the bright, fun color. For adults and kids.. even at the same time! Kids had lots of fun on it.Highly recommend this brand and this float

Great Product!I bought these for my 7 and 8 year old grandsons to play with in the pool and they love them! I was worried they may be too big for them but these are a good size. I love that they have a tube on the backside of the float that automatically draws water into the gun so no need to refill it! They are a thick vinyl and are durable and well made. The colors are bright. They have played on these very rambunctiously for hours of fun with no issues.

Kids enjoyed playing on itSmaller than I expected.2 little kids could lay on it side by side. It's suitable for one person child 6 (pictured) and up to depending on size.Our grandkids ended up sharing theirs with other kids at the lake because everyone thought they were cool.

Had this for a bit now, been used and loved many times over since then by multiple people, it was very easy to inflate and didn't take long before it was fully inflated, it has yet to have any issues with losing air, it is very comfortable to sit on and doesn't feel uncomfortable like some floats tend to be.

I was quite impressed by this. It's quite large, larger than the kids it was bought for, and definitely seems very study with the material seeming quite think, when I was inflating it. The inflation tube was large enough to use my Ryobi cordless inflator. Now to see how it holds up to the kids.

Lemme just start out by saying that to absolutely no one’s surprise, this is a great inflatable. Intex always does a great job with their inflatables. They’re always very durable, very comfortable, super cute, and they work really well in the pool. The vinyl is very thick and feels much better quality than most others on the market. Amazing price for such a cute fun little inflatable, I can buy 3-5 at a time and not feel too bad because the price is so good. Will be buying more.

This sea turtle is SO cute and durable! We’ve been using it for the whole summer and it’s lasting very well even with kids jumping on it and roughhousing around. I would not recommend trying to fill it by mouth, you definitely need a pump to save your lungs. We are very happy with the purchase.
