Swimways Dry Float Shadester Pool Float, Translucent Inflatable Recliner Chair for Adults with Fast Inflation, Canopy, Foot Rest & Cup Holder

If you want to float in a pool or body of water and not get wet while doing it, this is your float! I love hanging by and in the pool but a lot of times I just want to read a book while floating and not deal with getting wet. This raft is amazing for that! I bought the raft with the sun shade. It sits at the perfect angle where I can rest my head but my arms don’t fall asleep when I’m holding my book. The shade keeps my face and chest shaded which I like, especially when I’m reading or napping. I buy myself a good quality pool float every year for Mother’s Day and this is definitely up there with one of my favorites! Great quality, secure air plug so it doesn’t leak, I have nothing negative to say about it. Highly recommended!

Edited.....The company did replace with a like float. So far that is holding air. Doesn't stay inflated. It was a birthday present and now they will not let me return the item

I love the float. I had no trouble getting on the float and stayed dry…..but….when trying to get off the float. The plastic the float is made out of would not let my body to move around to get off. I was stuck to vinyl. I wound up very wet and float on top of me. Kinda funny but maker need to put different fabric where your body touches

Very durable and easy to inflate. Comfortable for use at the lake.

I was very excited about this float. I love the idea of being able to float around in the pool out of the water. I love the canopy to keep sun out of your face. However, I would not recommend this float to anyone.First, it is extremely annoying that I have to bring out the air pump and add air every time I use it.Not to mention, the valve to add air has an odd over sized opening which makes it difficult to inflate.And last, the flap to the air valve does not hold securely. If you touch it by accident it can pop open. Which may have something to do with its inability to keep air in. I suspect it is slowly seeping out around the edges of the valve. In my picture you can see an example. Apparently the valve touched something when being put away and it deflated overnight. Now I will have to spend 20-30 minutes completely re-inflating it again.

This is an awesome comfortable raft. Easy to inflate, easy to deflate. Will keep you 100% out of the water (might need to use a towel because your skin will stick to the plastic!).The canopy is shaped by two rods, similar to those that would hold a dome tent up.Relatively easy to thread the rods through the canopy openings, easy to pop up the canopy and attach.We loved it the first day we used it, nice hot sunny day and the canopy provided awesome shade - 100% did what it was supposed to. The problem - as can be seen in the picture above - the canopy rods warped! Terribly so. We had the raft sitting on our deck for a couple hours after swimming. We came back, and the canopy was all disfigured, and this was due to the canopy rods significantly warping from the sun. They originally looked much worse than in this picture, I had to attempt to re-bend them just to get them out of the canopy slots. Unfortunately, this renders the canopy completely useless, and therefore, we're just left with a blow up raft. Still a great raft, but we bought it for the sun shade canopy. If you're looking for a good raft, this buy this, but if you're looking for a good raft with a sun canopy, keep on searching. Can't recommend this as a canopy raft.

I bought this because I like to float but need shade because I burn easily. I like to float but not be in the water, I know it’s weird but I like to just float around and get wet when I want to. So functional, great quality, it is just a little bulky for storage.

I was really excited about this pool lounger—it looks fantastic and definitely stands out. The design is sleek, colorful, and undeniably cool. It’s the kind of lounger that turns heads at the pool, and I got more than a few compliments when I first brought it out.However, the excitement doesn’t last long. The lounger struggles to hold air. I’ve double-checked the valves, ensured everything is tightly sealed, but the issue persists. Each time I inflate it, I feel like I’m racing against the clock to enjoy it before it starts sagging and becoming unusable.It’s a shame because this could’ve been my go-to pool accessory. The comfort and design are spot-on, but what’s the point of a pool lounger that can’t stay inflated? If the manufacturer addresses this flaw, it would easily be a five-star product. For now, it’s a frustrating mix of style and disappointment.Verdict: Buy it if you want to look cool—for a short while. Otherwise, keep a pump handy or look elsewhere.
