I bought two of these chairs and we can't get either of them to blow up. Each air intake valve seems solid on the bottom. Did anyone else have this pr

The air intake valves are a bugger to get out but they will come out. Love my lounger!

In order to blow up your chairs you have to bite in the valve while you are blowing.This is to ensure that the air does not blow out if the valve is open.I hope this helps you!

It may be because they are pinch valves for inflating. this prevent accidental deflating also.You need to pinch them at the neck or use an foot pump and squeeze the neck of the valve

I used an electric air pump- that was the only way I could get the air in it. Otherwise it was not taking air.

No you need to pull out the necks on the intakes and pinch them to inflate or use a small insert from a pump to open the internal flap

The valves needs to come out. You need to squeeze or bite the sides as you are blowing air into it. We have bought 12 of these. We keep buying and having to buy more to give to our other boater friends. Everyone lives them. Hope this info helps.

Appreciate the problem. The first one we assembled was a bear to set up;the second was easy as we learned onthe first.Great chairs otherwise. If you type in Char-log rocker the company of manufacture will appear and they have a contact us link on their adv. I suspect since their instructions have had a number of complaints, they may have designed an improved set or maybe even video. JLL

I have the same problem. I bought two and they both have the same issue. I feel I was sold defective products, my grandkids NEVER got to ride the junk.

I don't think you're missing anything, it is a little hard to blow up. I found that if you squeeze the portion in that you're blowing into, the air goes in a lot faster. I hope that helps!

There should be no air coming out, probably a bad valve. Try putting a 3 in 1 oil in, valve might be sticky.

Yes, you have to pinch the valve at the base when blowing air in or trying to deflate. This was not something that was explained very well in the instructions and if you just try to blow into the valve it will seem as though they forgot a hole to let air in.

No. This one you have to blow into. I also have the Mackenzie Self-inflating Airback (also sold here). I had one that worked for just under a year and am on my second. (So there's that.) But I use it for different purposes than this one and for chairs that don't need something strapped on.

yeah something's wrong then, mine sounds like a jet engine winding up when turned on. And the airflow increases quite a bit from the low to high setting, as well as the feel of suction in the back from the air getting pulled in. Make sure all the filters are pressed all the way in and the back panel is snapped on because it has a safety feature that wont let it turn on when that cover isnt on. If all that is the case and its still not working id return it, the next one will be fine im sure.

Mine also lost air, I pumped it up once but when it lost air again I could not pump it up. I have just recieved a new one directly from the Gypsy Quilter. I emailed them and they said I could send it back and they would send a new one, I will see how this works.

Not sure ..paint could be to thick or compressor may not be turned up enough. I am having a similar problem with my gravity feed one haven't tried my airbrush with the cup.

Hi I put them together using the instructions didn't have a problem but after while I had to take it apart and re adjust it. It took a couple of times before I got it right. Take it down and try again make sure when u put the chair on the bar it's lined up properly and if u turn the Chair base over there are bolts try to adjust them. Also when u put the chair on the stand u have to pump it all the way up and then down.

I just assembled mine and tried it as well, the vapor is coming out the bottom, I tried the wiggle technique, but still no help. I emailed the company but guess I won't hear back until Monday.

You have to blow it up like a pool toy. But we bought 1 and returned it wouldnt stay inflated. They sent a 2nd one same problem . Cost more in return shipping we just gave up.

Did you take the black thing off the base? We didn't take that off before putting the top on and the chair would not raise or lower. We had to use plyers to get the black thing on the top of the base off, but once it was off and the top was on the chair does raise and lower. Good luck!

Well you know you have to screw the top on to the bottom. And sometimes I caught myself using the handle to traits it. Which might cause it to get loose. I have never had the valve blow out tho

My air tube popped out easy to blow it up. I use the air mattress pump now much easier and that might work if yours is defective. Or send it back.

First make sure the black plastic valve is open. If it is and it still isn't inflating blow into the valve like you're blowing up a ballon. When new they sometimes need help getting started.
