How long does it take to blow it up?

It took a while using an electric inflator. It took a half of an hour the first time and then we adjusted the firmness the second day. We had it in the ocean for 3 weeks and only needed to put air in it once or twice. It really is an amazing float.

You have to take it to a service station or air pump, good quality takes about 30 minutes! Really nice you'll love it

I haven't timed it but I would say 5-10 minutes... Had an older one that took 2-3 times as long. I love it!

5 minutes tops. I haven't had to remove it for any storms. It vents well and when anchored correctly, it doesn't move much.

Yes but get your air compressor out. It takes all day with that pump to blow it up.

Well, we keep it in the game room and sometimes bring outside even when the weather is bad and it's still standing. We used a air pump to blow it up it's pretty big for a small child. 7 feet long.

Not exactly sure. I think around 20 minutes. But it lasts long, several weeks.

Only about an hour, maybe two. Be careful not to over tighten the plastic parts. Follow the included instructions and you should be fine

I couldn't imagine blowing this up via your lung power. We use a small electric pump and it's done in less than 5 minutes.

I'm afraid I don't know that answer. I have only blown it up when I am at the destination for using it.

We had to use a very large air compressor and it still took about an hour. I imagine it would take days to inflate from a lighter jack. Once we inflated we just kept the air in it and just fill up if its running a bit low.

Not sure what you mean too quickly??? It inflates in adequate time usually takes 10-12 big breaths for me.

One other comment: I saw the post from the person who said they killed themselves blowing it up. Floats these days have a valve that you have to pinch when you're blowing them up. If you're not doing it right, yes, you're going to bust a gut trying to blow it up. If you're pinching it right, it should only take a few minutes at most.

I just blew into it with my mouth. You only have to inflate the upper ring, so it doesn't take all that long.

Not long. I have two of these and they come up to temp in about 10 minutes or so.

Yeah I used an air mattress pump. It really isn't a lot of air. You can blow it up with your mouth in about ten minutes. It's super easy.

Blower has to be running all the time. It inflates in 5-10 seconds. The kids play 10 min and we turn it off and it deflates in 30 seconds.

It usually takes around 25 to 30 seconds as the the total time it takes to inflate and deflate is usually 2 minutes in total.
