TRC Recreation LP Ultra Sunsation Foam Pool Float (Metallic Blue

We have had a few opportunities to use our floats now and have been very pleased with them. We bought 2, the blue one and the heavier duty bronze one. We hesitated a while to spend this amount on floats but we trust their longevity will outweigh the cost. Our dog loves them too!

The float is NOT as pictured. I ordered the orange one and, smack across the entire bottom of the float, is a very large blue logo. This logo is NO WHERE on any of the photos. I looked far and wide to find a float that would match my pool furniture, so appearance is important to me. I did not order a float with big advertising on it!Second, as many have said, the surface of the float "glued itself together" during shipment. (I guess I should have read the reviews more carefully BEFORE buying). There is a paper lining, designed to protect against this problem, but the paper is much smaller than the float so "glue spots" occurred wherever there was no paper. It you tried to pry apart the sides, the float would be damaged. Eventually, I solved the problem by leaving the float, still coiled up, out in the sun for 8 hours. It gradually heated up and separated on its own, but it would have been a disaster if I'd not noticed the problem or tried to speed things alone.Finally, shipment. The floats arrived way earlier than expected. Rather than being a good thing, this caused a problem for me. They give a 3 or 4 day window and then missed it.

I bought two of these in Metallic Blue to replace other floats I had that had gotten hard and damaged in my shed (they were about 8 years old). I was originally going to buy the cheaper ones, but after reading the reviews, I decided to splurge on these, and I am so glad I did! We used them yesterday for the first time, and they are soo comfortable! They kept me above the freezing cold May water in my pool for the most part, and the pillow is so much better than the standard rafts. I expect these to last a long time!

Received mine last week. Actual size is 60" x 2 1/2" x 25". 5 feet long is too short for me so I sent it back. They didn't answer my question whether it was a mistake or that's just the size. On the other hand it is a quality product. Just not what is advertised.

If I would have received 2 brand new floats, I would have given 5 stars! One came in a box that looked brand new and was glued shut, the other came in a box that was tattered and taped on both ends. The one that I removed from the taped up box, was obviously refurbished. There was an area on the under side at the bottom that looked like it had been scraped or worn that someone patched and there was another area on the under side on the headrest that looked like a chunk was torn out and again patched. I'm returning one, and will probably buy another one as long as I get a brand new one and not a refurbished one. They are very sturdy.
