Intex River Run Connect Lounge

My family bought these tubes to go tubing down the AuSable river in Michigan. These tubes held up great and were super comfortable!! Even with bumping into logs and branches in the river they held firm and held their air. We also have some who are heavier and they held no problem (240lbs and 300lbs). The cooler is also great! We put our hard cooler inside the cooler area so that we could also have room for our dry bag. The ONLY complaint I have is that the cup holders are too small for most insulated cups (yeti, artic, etc.) They work great for cans but I wish they were a smidge bigger. I ended up putting my cup beside me in the tube which was fine since it has a bottom. We did get disconnected once while going down the river but I think it was user error...

I am guessing one of the clips wasn't locked. All in all, I strongly recommend these tubes! One piece of advice... inflate them fully and let them set for a day before using them... the rubber does stretch a bit. Those that we pre-inflated held up better than those we didn't.

Was worried my big frame would pop this sucker... Didn't even come close and my wide load behind fit right in! The square design makes more room for your posterior end. Cup holders tilt inward but that's a small price to pay on such a great raft! Lazy rivers are great with this, we use them all the gime. Next trip is Colorado River. I'm positive theyll do great. They clip together too! There's also a cooler you can buy separately that hooks to them. Great system, great quality, great fun! So happy with our purchase we bought some more, too! Thank you Intex for a great product that doesn't fall apart and we can count on!!!

This was a good purchase and we were on a time crunch in need of a float. Prices of rafts are ridiculous! I will say this just like previous review make sure the two valves are screwed on appropriately. One of the floats we thought was flat because it was not maintaining air, we found that the large deflate valve was not screwed on properly the plastic keeper was wedged in the threads. Also, do not put too much tension on the connectors, they will rip the float open. We found that if you snake them together there is less tension than attaching into a round. Lastly the manufacture really needs to put a tolerable weight parameter on the product. No one knows the top weight, until one rupture from weight or tension stress in the water.

One of the two tubes that came in this set rapidly starting deflating after the second use. Although this item is comfortable, it hardly seems reasonably to only get two uses out of the product. Great care was taken when deflating and storing the product as we knew that this is common. I was hopeful that due to the price point and other positive review that I would not have this issue so quickly!The support on this product tells you to contact the manufacturer- they in fact do not provide any product support or warranty on this item. I waited on hold for 30 minutes only to be told that there was nothing they could do- and to contact the seller. There is no contact information online for this seller, so unfortunately at this time a bad review will have to suffice.

I was excited because my other basic river run floats have lasted for years, multiple runs. These are the Same brand with what I thought would be more comfortable with it being spacious. No. The seems are rough and stick out like an inside out shirt and scratch your arms up bad when paddling. I looked like a cutter at the end of a float, lol. Not to mention a few of us had gotten these. And only one out of the 8 of us made it with out needing a repair. Talked to a few random people on the river and apparently these are notorious for popping, deflating having issues. FYI just stick to the normal round river run tubes and you will be jus fine. Those are the best!!

Functional for a short time, not a long time.

These tubes survived a weekend of floating, but barely. Our friends got a set of these without the cooler, and before the weekend was over, we had lost one tube and the cooler tube. The connectors also ripped off the tubes on a couple of the tubes. It might have been too rough on them, but I was hoping they would last longer than a weekend.

GRIP TORE FIRST USE I ENDED UP UNDER WATER

Bought 2 of these 4 days ago, went tubing at the river and the connecting grip came apart on mine, and of course I went under.I love the look on these! they are very spacious, and the grips very convenient to attach and detach. but I'm not conferrable using these again.I went back yesterday to let them know what had happened and they were so nice to let me exchange the tubes.ThankYou! BIG5!

Great brand.

I didn’t inflate it to the fullest but still feel fairly confident my dogs nails wouldn’t puncture it. I also bought a $5 boogie board and put it underneath the float to avoid her falling through the mesh and it worked perfectly! I was on the same float. Not sure if any of that would have worked if not. But I have used this brand before and it is great for river floating!
