debating weather to purchase this but reading some reviews it doesn't seem to be an 'air walker' is there a certain way to have it filled?? Thanks

Yes, the head has it's own hole to be filled, the body also has a separate hole and the legs also, the balloon is nice just too much helium.

I guess I am not exactly sure what you mean by "air walker". It floats so that it looks like it is standing on his feet and he wanders around the room. We have had it for 2 weeks now and his body is starting to deflate a little but his head hasn't ( they are two separate balloons) and he is still "walking" around.

I tried to inflate it with an air compressor i usually use for tires & it worked a little but the hose was not the same size as the inflation valve so I could not get a good seal going on & ended up finishing blowing the thing up the old fashioned way (with my own hot air) while making a mental note to purchase an air pump made for air mattresses. I. Have 2 of these air mattresses & they have held up very well through several camping trips & sleepovers with kids jumping on them.

I tried and it does not pump air. That's strange because I had a different model previously which was able to inflate both water and air. That model didn't have the handle and the tying tool, like this Kaos model. It's strange because they look pretty much the same. Too bad it didn't have all in one.

An air mattress pump works best. But I have an air compressor, that we wrapped a washcloth around the nozzle to fill. As it is not meant to take a standard air compressor nozzle, this worked best.

You should have a plug with it; all three of the ones I bought had plugs. No wonder it won't hold air! I just used a hand air pump.

We used our own air,and it did not take long at all. You can use a bike pump if you have one, or inflatable mattress. Grandson loves his, even uses it as pool.

mine came pumped basically perfect. But I suggest getting a pump in case. I've seen it deflated in stores.

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.

I had the same issue and it took a while to figure it out. Since we use it rarely we don't recall how we finally did it. If I recall correctly, the pump mechanism really does not let the air out. I think we took the mechanism off the mattress. You'll have to experiment with it.

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

We used an air compressor also. It is a pretty big float for a manual pump but one would work. as said by others, your pump would need a pointed end. This is our second season and just filled a couple days ago. Great for keeping you above water while it's still a little brisk.

requires a unique pump. I used a air mattress pump from Coleman. It's runs on a charged battery and filled 6 tubes in minutes, no problem. Don't remember price but I think it was around $30. That has worked the best.

It inflates with a separate little pump kit which takes 4 D batteries. The problem with the little unit is getting it off once it's finished. There's no tight seal and a good deal of the air escapes as one is trying to remove the little apparatus from the end of the air bed. Very frustrating.

I used an air pump. Never saw where it said otherwise. Took a matter if seconds to inflate.

Fully inflated it is pretty lightweight. I would think anyone of reasonable fitness could manage it. It is a bit bulky when inflated though. Finding a comfortable way to hold it might be the bigger issue. Any sort of lightweight cart would help on that front.

when we received ours, it was not necessary to be inflated (already done). However, I was not aware that it would come inflated already, so I'd purchased a needle tip pump when I ordered it.

I used a battery operated air mattress pump. It worked great. I also used a foot pump and that took a lot longer. It holds more air than you think.
