PoolCandy Tube Runner - Motorized Inflatable Pool Floats

When I saw this product, I knew it would be a hit with kids...so long as it performed as expected. I took note of the reviews that were less than 5-stars to understand what issues that purchasers experienced. Ensuring that the battery cover was correctly emplaced and removing the batteries after usage seemed to be the best preventive maintenance measures. Doing those things has kept our dinosaur functioning properly. The inflatable is made of good material and all seams are well-sealed. The motor enables 360-degree directional movement. It took a few moments for the kids to manage the steering but that was part of the fun. Every kid who rode the dinosaur had a smile on his/her face that simply wouldn't go away.Every adult in attendance also wanted to have a go at it. The speed is influenced by the weight of the rider, wind, the calmness of the water, and the condition of the batteries. All those variables considered, nobody complained about the speed. No other water toy can match this crazy fun ride-on!

This was great. Used it in the river and was able to guide my whole group where we needed to go. It is a small motor but I was impressed. Not strong enough go upstream but still nicer than having to use a paddle

For the price these are a waste. Lasted one day and the trigger stopped working

The media could not be loaded. This thing is amazing! My kids love it, and even let me try it out hahahah! So far it doesn’t slow down regardless of how much weight is in it, which is surprising! Very sturdy material, easy set up. Grab yourself some D size batteries! Also the batteries are lasting after several uses; also good news! The cup holder is a fun bonus! 10/10 recommend!

The media could not be loaded. We chose the least expensive motorized float that was on sale because the reviews were not very encouraging and we sure didn’t want to waste a large amount of money. Only the small flamingo was on sale but it happened to fit our theme anyway because we always bring a much larger multi person non motorized flamingo float whose name is FIONA for the adult ladies to ride on together while celebrating a special person who started the PINK FLAMINGO theme. We purchased two flamingos, split the cost and took our chances. These motorized flamingos worked fabulous for everyone and I will say, the adult men got to enjoy them the most!! They both worked very well for the entire 3 full days on the lake. They were a relaxing speed, slow and steady with even with adult men trying to have a fun race. The floats were capable of motoring far out into the lake & made it back home without needing rescue. We thought we would be going through many D cell batteries which could have cost more than the floats but the batteries were only changed once in 3 days giving several hours of continuous use per day & that was a great surprise. The little flamingo was even put inside the hole of the larger flamingo and worked to motorize the multi person flamingo! We were very pleasantly surprised that these flamingo float toys worked better than expected and really added to the enjoyment of our lake vacation! We just may purchase more if we catch a sale again! We were happy big kids!

We had a lot of fun cruising through out the pool in this motorfloatie-boat thing. The flamingo is so cute and awesome, even though it was pretty slow and hard to steer. It didn’t perform very well though, because it popped right at the seam, and it was nearly impossible to use the patches to fix it. However, not a lot of water got in and prohibited you from going. Because of the sudden damage of the product, it isn’t very durable and it is super easy to break. Because of this, it is a horrible value for your money. We still did have a lot of fun in though, using it in the hour before it popped.

Did not stay inflated and we already threw away the box. Hole was in the seam which is not fixable with the provided patches. These are fun but that was a costly adventure for one use:(Update: Aug 14, 2024. What a great company. While I had already thrown away the boxes and would have been unable to return, they offered me a full refund for this item. These are great and super fun. It was just in our case there was a significant leak in the seem and was unfixable. I appreciate the quality customer service!
