Queen airbed
|
So far this has been a good airbed. I have back issues so if I can sleep on it than most people can sleep on it. Just go back from staying at my daughters new home and they only had one bed so I brought the airbed with me. My wife and I slept on it for two nights and it worked very good for both of us. I would recommend adjusting the firmness of the mattress while you are on it other wise it is to soft or to hard. Once set works great. Thank you.

Much better than the previous air mattresses I bought on Amazon
|
I originally bought the "2PCS SINGLE SIZE AIR MATTRESS" from Zaltana, here on Amazon. One of those leaked right out of the box, so I had to send them back (which was quite an ordeal).These "Intex Prestige" airbeds are far superior - no leaks (helpful!), sturdy construction, and fulfilled directly by Amazon rather than having to deal with a 3rd party who might not be as pleasant to deal with as Amazon itself.About the only slight negative on these airbeds is that they had a bit of an odd odor when first unpacked. I simply left them airing in an upright position for a day and a half and the smell disappeared.Do take notice of the size - these are wider than several other airbeds.

Better than expected
|
We used this on a 2-night tent camp. It was our first experience with any air mattress and we were both pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was. My husband, one Labrador dog and I slept on it both nights (both of us are middle-aged with aches. The dog is very old and she liked it too). It inflated quickly and held the air well for our short trip. We did check it the 2nd night as it seemed a bit less inflated, but it was very minor if at all. Other Labs walked on it a few times and it was not effected. Deflation was quick just by taking off the entire large cap. A good buy for the money.

Great For Camping, Pump Included
|
Nice airbed, I bought one for a holiday camping trip. The included battery-powered air pump is a little cheap-looking, but it inflates the airbed in a couple of minutes with no problems (note: it takes 6 C-size batteries, but for some reason can also run with just 4-cells, though with not as much airflow.) The fleece top kept my sleeping bag secure and it didn't slide around like it might have on a non-coated surface (like the cheaper plastic-topped airbeds). It was very comfortable to sleep on, and I'm glad I had it otherwise I would have had to sleep in just a sleeping bag on top of cold 32-degree weather.When it was time to go, the quick-release valve let all of the air out in seconds. I could easily roll the airbed back up (from the pillow end to the foot of the airbed where the valve is) in seconds. Pretty good for about $25, the only mild complaints from me is that the air pump looks kind of cheap, and it's a little noisy when inflating the air bed.

had good luck sofar.
|
The gal in my life had to use this when we and a few others went to a hotel to spend the night.. The others were what are called bed hogs so I and the gal had to sleep on the floor but this I was like blam bed man to the rescue and inflated this bed for her. She slept well all night until I would wake up in the middle of the night and had to cross over by stepping on her bed, almost sent her flying. I think this is best for extra beds in hotels or for friends camping over at the house.

Don't go there
|
The manufacturer, Intex, does not guarantee that this air bed will hold air.When I pulled it out of the box and laid it out on the living room carpet and inflated it, it would not hold air even for one hour.I called the retailer, and was told they could do nothing about it, since there was a line in their ad that said there was no warranty for punctures or leaks. I said, "not even when new?" Nope. They said "most of them do hold air, yours is just defective." All they could do was offer to send me a patch kit, but I have been unable to find the leak.So much for "quality Intex construction" and standing behind your product.

Not great
|
I own another Intex bed, a queen that is also about two feet tall and is electric, and it works great.This one is not anything like that.First it requires batteries, which is fine. Except they are 4 D batteries, ouch.It fills up relatively fast, but does not hold air at all, and is extremely close to the ground. Every morning when anyone woke up from sleeping on it it would be half deflated.And it's also not very comfortable.

You may as well sleep on the ground, because you're going to wake up on it. This air mattress worked OK the first 1-2 times we used it, but then couldn't hold air for more than ~2 hours. Not recommended.

Does Not Hold Air!!!
|
I ordered this to have an extra bed for visitors. My 8 year old who only weighs around 50 pounds was the first to try it out. It will not hold air at all as soon as he lays on it it starts to deflate. Its pretty sad when an air mattress can't hold air with only 50 pounds on it!! This is the worst air mattress I have ever bought and a total waste of money!

Multiple Trips - No Air Loss
|
Despite what some of the other reviewers have said, after three week-long stints, this hasn't popped or even lost any air. On my second trip, I used it for a week straight and didn't refill it a single time. You're not going to get anything deluxe here, but it functions perfectly and the included pump actually works pretty well too. This is almost half the price that a similar kit would cost at a chain store and is very reliable. Don't hesitate.

2 and 1/2: sometimes good, sometimes bad
|
I bought two of these during the holidays last year, and have since used them 3 times for adults, no kids have been near them. They were on super sale and I think we got both for twenty bucks and planned to stack them for extra comfort. The first time, they were ok, they did need extra air added every day, but they stayed inflated. The same went for the 2nd time they were used.The third time didn't go so well. One of the mattresses completely deflated(with no one on it) within 2 hours. For the price, I'm not really mad, but I was disappointed. They are comfortable, but they require maintenance to keep them properly inflated during use, which is a pain in the neck. If I had to buy air mattresses again, I probably would avoid this brand.

Piece of crap
|
I opened the package and the directions for the pump are so complicated! Then I had to buy C batteries.Finally I bought the batteries and got my hired Masters degree to understand the directions. Didn't work!Thought maybe the batteries were bad, bought six more. Still no power. Piece of crap. I bought this because my grandson often sleeps over and thought it would be a great option. My poor grandson had no place to sleep.

Doesn't hold air
|
I own an Intex raised downy queen sized bed and am quite happy with it - it holds air pretty well throughout the night. The Intex Prestige Downy, however, is nowhere near as good. 70% of the air leaks out in the first three hours, and you have to repump. Do not buy this bed.

Good stuff
|
There's too many negative reviews for this product and, for the most part, it seems that they're either because of an inept person or a person that expects a $200 airbed for the $30 we actually paid.For the price, this is pretty awesome. The pump works great (you don't have to hold it in); I was actually impressed at how fast it inflated the bed. Again though, if you're giving a product 1-star because of a slow air pump.......it's a $30 bed that came with an electric pump; why don't people realize how ridiculously good of a deal that is? It's amazing how in this new era of consumers expecting super cheap prices they still expect super awesome quality. You pay $30 you get Cubic zirconia not a flawless 1 carat.In sum; comfy, holds its air for a few days, the electric pump pumps.

Perfect, comfortable, but....
|
I love it, I bought this a few weeks ago because I recently relocated and have no furniture at all, I thought of getting this for urgent need, but planned to replace it as soon as I found the perfect apartment for me.. however after spending a couple of nights sleeping on it I realized I'm gonna give priority to other things my apartment needs, because this bed is very comfortable, surprisingly comfortable and easy to set up.. my complains about it are simply that the marks along it can be annoying some times, but if you inflate it properly you won't feel them at all, also I noticed that it deflates a little big after a couple of days of use at first, you only need to inflate it a little bit and it will be perfect, and after a few times of this it will stop deflating completely.

Little support, long inflation time
|
I'm 200 lbs and 6 ft. For me this mattress simply does not provide enough support, and I've awoke with an aching back after each time I've used it. What's frustrating is that the included, battery-operated inflation device seems to blow the mattress up only so much; in my estimation only about 90% of what would be adequate for sufficient firmness. So for me this purchase is a bust and I'm going to see what I can do to send it back.

Works like a champ
|
Bought two. Took them out of the box, inflated and went to bed. No hassel. One mattress stayed firm for five days, other deflated because the cap wasn't seated correctly. Once that was fixed, worked fine. Very comfortable. Highly recommend. Pump is included with each mattress, uses four D batteries.

leaks, leaks, leaks
|
After Katrina we lived on air mattresses for a good six - eight months while we rebuilt our home. One eventually developed a leak but we had a bouncy four year old on rough concrete floors. We were impressed that it had lasted as long as it did.Now, we are moving out of state. My husband and son left first with all the furnishings and I stayed to fulfill work obligations. I purchased two Intex queen size camper air mattresses. I decided to double stack them for a more comfortable level of sleep. It didn't hurt that they were on clearance either.They both get soft during the night. Very disappointing. These fall under the category of nonreturnable once they've been used. Glad they were cheap but I got what I paid for when I bought these - something cheap. Disappointing.

Took it camping and worked well. Yea you do have to fill it with air every/everyother night because it does lose some air. All of them do due to stretching this one might leak a little. But for the price it served its purpose well. Used it 4 nights camping 2 at home for guest/

won't hold air overnight after 1 month of use
|
i bought this mattress to use for a couple of months while i am working out of town. so i have been sleeping on it for the last 5 weeks straight. this mattress worked fine at first. the pump is very powerful, only took a few minutes to fully inflate the bed. it was comfortable to sleep on after a few nights of adjustment from a regular mattress. i would have to top off the mattress only about once a week. this was fine with me. then last week, it started losing more air in shorter periods of time. in a matter of days, it won't hold enough air overnight to keep me off the ground. totally unusable. of course, Amazon's return window expires after 30 days. convenient. oh, and it's not like i overloaded it or anything, #135.

Good quality for price.
|
I bought this bed so that my bestfriend could sleep on when she came over and it was what I expected. Although the air slowly goes out after using it again over the days it was used, it can be refilled and be blown back up at your desired comfort with the pump which comes with it. The only thing is that I wish that the pump was able to be electric as well as battery capable. Besides that it was what I expected for the amount I paid.

Great for Traveling with Twins
|
We bought two mattresses for our 2 year old twin daughters to be used when we travel out of town. The mattresses are comfy, easy to inflate/deflate and are lightweight and compact when not in use. The transition from pack-n-plays to mattresses has been seemless and, best yet, the mattresses take up less space and are lighter than the pack-n-plays when traveling.

Worked for a few days then failed miserably
|
This air mattress was great. Until the layering inside became twisted. Now there is a large "hump" in the center of the mattress. It is nearly impossible to sleep on. After a quick email to Intex explaining that the mattress received no abuse but appeared to just twist on its own I received an email back saying "sorry" and "nothing can be done." Way to sell a shoddy air mattress. I would suggest buying a different brand. One without separate inner tubes.

Prestige Downy Queen Airbed

The pump is totally inadequate to blow this bed up and it does not attach to the bed for filling. You have to hold it and it fills slowly and doesn't seem to fill up at all.

not very pleased
|
Just received this air mattress. Bought it to stage my house for selling.....needed a bed for the second bedroom. I bought a steel frame and put this air mattress on it. It's not even close to being a queen size. The box claims it to be 60x80. I measured 54x76, and that's being generous. And it wouldn't inflate completely. About 90% like one other person described. It's only for looks at this point, but I planned on using it to sleep on for a few nights when I move. Not sure that's going to happen. Can't decide if I should keep it or not. But I wouldn't recommend it unless your only other choice was to sleep on the ground.

I bought this mattress for guests. After a long day of sightseeing,we discovered that the mattress I had procured for their use could not be inflated because it requires C batteries, not D batteries as described in the Amazon product blurb. And since there is no option to inflate using an electrical plug, we were left without a bed for my tired guests.I am extremely annoyed and can't believe that no one else has pointed this out yet!!! Very very disappointed.

I was only able to use this item 3 times. I had ordered it for a 2-week camping trip up to Canada. After using it for the first three night it developed a very slow leak. I can't tell where the leak is at. There are no punchers and felling along the seam I am not able to feel any airflow coming out. When I lay on top of it it only keep me off the ground for about 2 and a half hours before my back and but start touching. After having gotten back, I inflated the mattress and just layer a comforter on top. After a few hours it was about half deflated. I am very disappointment in this product.

Great AIR MATTRESS
|
Great price, great product. Not just because of the price [$25]. Bought 3 Coleman air mattresses before the Syntex one, and they all developed leaks and fell apart. The Syntex air mattress is very durable and by far the best. Oh, did I mention that Syntex has a great return policy in case their product falls apart? Which Coleman doesn't. You're stuck with damaged goods when it breaks. And believe me it will break. Highly recommend the Syntex air mattress to anyone looking for an air mattress no matter what your budget is.

I hate yogurt.. but this is delicious
|
Even if you aren't a yogurt fan, give this stuff a try. I decided to try it on a lark as it's high in protein and not too terrible for you in regards to calorie and fat content.This stuff is DELICIOUS. I really don't like yogurt. It's sour and often has a funny, unnatural taste to me. This stuff is simply creamy, thick, and has a pleasant sweet taste with the honey in it. It's almost, dare I say, sinful for the nutritional content of it.My only gripe.. the honey comes out like a brick when you take it from the fridge, and it's a chore mixing it in the yogurt. Also, what's up with the little cup that Fage puts the honey/fruit in? It's essentially designed to taunt you as no human spoon can get everything out of it.

A Triumph of the Gay Spirit

LOVED IT!

So this is honestly one of the best books Ive read. It was enjoyable, and really put into perspective how selfish i can be some days. The story is about how this brave chutzpah (yiddish word) helped save many lives in Berlin during the Holocaust whilst facing his own fate at times. He was definitely one of the luckiest Jews because he had so many near misses. He also practically slept his way for jewish lives, he tended to be a bit of a slut ; although referred to sex as making love. Some of the yiddish language confused me but google searches or even continuing when i couldn't be bothered worked fine. This book was motivational for me as a gay man but was also enjoyable for any reader as his light hearted and optimistic humour really high tens the story. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

Wonderfully romantic
|
I really enjoy listening to CD for everything it has. The mixture of cinema movies makes it more likeable for they're films that most movie-goers will be able to relate to, in one way or another. Just say "Romeo and Juliet" and I'll think Nino Rota.A personal favourite would have to be "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" (The Piano) but "Rose" (Titianic) follows close behind. The suite, "A Time For Us" (Romeo and Juliet) brings tears to my eyes and "Somewhere In Time" is a lovely ballad. For any other lovers of romance, whether it be in movies or in music, this is one cd that you are sure to like.

Poor Audio Rendering
|
This would be an excellent background music album if it wasn't for the harsh, unmusical sound in the highly modulated sections. This is most noticable in the RHAPSODY ON A THEME OF PAGANNI, all though it is throughout the album. It is similar to listening to music through speakers that are "over driven" or damaged.I had no problem with the inclusion of END CREDITS. I thought they worked well for background (as opposed to concert) music, as all the major themes of the movie can be reintroduced in the END CREDITS.

Cheap Imitation

This CD is not what it claims to be. It's the Scottish National Orchestra re-doing themes from several movies, and the themes have definitely lost their flavor -- not to mention their tempo. I'm very disappointed. When I want the soundtrack to something, I want the actual soundtrack!These are not bad renditions if you hadn't seen the movies -- but it's almost as bad as hearing a midi of some song you like: it's just what's on the page, not the incredible flavor of the version in the movie.Haven't been this disappointed with an album since my penny-pinching little brother bought me "101 Strings Play Simon & Garfunkel". ;)

Steve Hall plays the classics like I always wanted to as a child taking lessons. Classical, inspirational, and broadway music have always been my love. Steve Hall reaches all with a passion. My hobby is painting--so on days I indulge in my "passion" I turn the CD player on loudly with Steve Hall music and make beautiful "music" of my own. Added instrumentations(on various CD's) from harp, bagpipes, and brass on some are a treat. This CD is one of 5 Steve Hall CD's I have--I love them all.

This is a fantastic Rescue Tool and it's nice and compact, easily located right on your keychain. If you're a gadget person, you gotta get these. They make great gifts too. Check out their videos on YouTube.Personally, I think the Life Hammer and/or a metal center punch are potentially dangerous in a roll-over (think about getting hit in the head by one of those). If you pack them away, how are you going to find it after a roll-over? That's why this little tool is so great - small, light, and easily located.

ResQMe Keychain

I was slightly disappointed with this product because I received it and it did not have instructions on how to use it effectively.

Low quality, hammer sucks inside the cap
|
I don't know why so many people are giving 5 star to this thing. Or maybe I am just of very bad luck. When it arrived, it came with two, and in one of them, the hummer stick sucks inside the cap, when you push the cap, the tip cannot penetrate out. Then I returned it, and ask for exchange, but when the new one comes, BOTH of the two have exactly the SAME problem. I understand that Amazon will not check before shipping, but considering that 3 out of 4 are DOA, I will strongly suspect that after several months it hangs around your key chain, and you may drop you keys to the ground, and this thing is not at all tough but very fragile, worse still, you don't even notice until one day you really need it in an emergency, and only found that it already sucks.Maybe it's just my bad luck, but you've been told that this thing is fragile and not reliable.

Does not stay together on keychain
|
After a couple of weeks on a key chain, the tool comes off the piece that connects to the keychain. .....then it will keep falling off.

I have returned the product.
|
Despite some bad reviews I went ahead and order the product. Sure enough, the item did not work like it's supposed to and I decided to return the product.

Disappointed
|
Being an Emergency Room Nurse, I bought this for our teenage drivers, knowing first-hand, sometimes you REALLY do need something like this to save your life. I was very disappointed. It's lightweight alright- because it is made of such cheap plastic that the grooves don't even align. Not only me, but 3 strong, muscled males tried to get the pin to pop with no luck. How sad to think this item could easily save a person's life, but when you needed it most, you lost a loved one or yourself because it didn't work. There should be a law against selling items such as these that were made to help, yet are made the cheapest to make a profit, not save a life. Buyer Beware!!

Multiple Failures
|
Imagine giving this device to your 16 year old. Imagine he encounters circumstances to put it to use. Now imagine it fails to work. How would you feel about your gift?I ordered 6 of these as Christmas stocking-stuffers. Fortunately, my 16 year old tested the glass breaking function of his on a piece of scrap hard plastic.No matter how hard we tried we couldn't get the pin to 'pop'. The barrel simply moved in and out with no effect.I handed him another. The pin popped as it should but then remained stuck in the extended position. In actual use that would have meant one try to break the glass and then the device would have been useless.I tested the remaining 4 and they did, in fact, function as advertised and demonstrated. I don't think a device like this ought to have what basically amounts to a 33% failure rate on the 6 I purchased.If you buy them, TEST them. Then consider installing the full-sized hammer as a back-up.

Cheaply made - useless for rescue
|
I purchased this item believing the hype behind the description, only to discover the small print in the directions declaring that it would not break a car window. It is made of cheap plastic and really has no purpose, a truly useless object, an expensive bobble of a keychain.

resQme review
|
I have not had to use the resQme's. But tie them to the emergency brake levers of the cars I drive. Just in case I can't open the door due to wreck or flood, I can break the side glass and escape.

Hello? Did anybody try it?
|
It is just amazing that so many people give the product 5 stars even when they have never used it. They seem to just assume it will work when their car is immerged in water. Absolutely amazing! They also sounded like they bought the product as a car decoration.Several of the comments, ostensibly by different customers, said exactly the same thing, in exactly the same wording:"The basic concept is easy. There are two tools, one to cut the seat belt and one..."You have to wonder who wrote them.Anyway, I tried the tools on wood planks and I'm not impressed with the impact. Which is to say I don't know if this thing will be useful at that critical moment (I bought a blue one, so you won't see me as "verified buyer" here).

life saver
|
I hope I never have to use this but it will prove to be a life saver if I do. I bought some as gifts because I want those people around too. Small size is nice - hangs off my keychain, but I do manage to set off my car alarm sometimes by touching the ResQMe in the wrong place.

Great Idea. Hope I never have to use it
|
We bought these for friends and family as Christmas presents after seeing an article on TV on how to survive when your car gets submerged in water. The design is small and fits easily on your key ring. I tested the punch on some wood and it is quite powerful and should do the job. Hope I never have to use it?

You need a little power to use, I hope never use this, but prevention is good. The material seems resistant.

ResQMe Keychain
|
Very hard to use item. So difficult that I returned it. Looked great in demonstration but not comsumer-friendly. May be ok for strong people but, in an emergency, no one needs something that's not dependable and easy.

Haven't tested it in real life
|
... Fluorescent yellow makes for good visibility. Punch is easy to press but has good impact.... Don't test too much, especially on hard surfaces (glass, hard wood, metal). You don't want to dull the point, reducing it's effectiveness.... But do test two or three times on something soft (plywood, pine), as someone else mentioned quality control might be an issue. You want to find out now, not later, if there's a manufacturing flaw.... Even if you have the LifeHammer, I highly recommend having one of these on your keychain. You never know what vehicle you'll be in, or what circumstances.

I saw these on TV and thought they would be a good idea to have, however, I don't know how they work as I haven't been a situation to use them. Which is real good.

Lifesaver
|
This little tool is something I hope I'll never have to use. I put it on a key chain and have it hanging on my steering wheel lever in case I ever need it in a hurry. I bought several more for my husband, son and friends. They hung them on their rearview mirrors. With a lot of cars having power windows nowdays you wouldn't be able to get your windows down if the car stalled underwater so this tool would break out the windows so you could escape.

Great

These are too cool. Thankfully we have not used them but it looks like they will do the trick if they are ever needed. We pushed the end onto a piece of cardboard to see how the glass breaker worked. I was worried that you could accidentally hurt yourself with it but the metal is rounded and you have to push hard for it to be exposed. We even gave one to our 10 year old incase she ever needs it. They come in different colors but I like the yellow to make it easier to find. I carry mine on my keys and it is not too bulky or distracting. My husband just keeps his in his truck because he doesn't like extra things on his keys but he can still get to it quickly. The compact size is great. We used to have the full size safety hammers that took up a lot of room. The price is well worth it if it is ever needed. I would recomend these. They would also make great gifts especially for new drivers!

meaningful gift

My wife said it was one of her favorite Christmas gifts because I listened to her and thought of her safety. I like that it is small and hooks on key chain.

An Honest Product at a Great Price

Bought two of these as Christmas gifts for family members who I didn't think would want the full-sized hammer in their cars. These are perfect, accessible and easy to use. Recommended for anyone who can't find room for the big one.

Quality product....everyone should have one!

I purchased 16 of the ResQme as Christmas gifts, as we live in Michigan and there is water all around the state. I worry about how I would escape if my car slid into the river or lake. Now I don't worry about that. I tested them all and they all worked just fine. Do not hesitate to buy these.

it works
|
I just tested out the glass breaker part on a jar of baby food and it broke out the whole bottom of the jar. The manual mentions that it is to be used on breaking side windows in a vehicle- not the winshield or tempered glass.

Hope I Never Have to Use This
|
Purchased as a "just in case" and I hope I'm never in a situation where I will need to use it. But at least I feel safer knowing it's there.I've only tested this on pieces of wood and plexiglass, and it works as it should. This tool was also highlighted on an episode of "MythBusters" on the Discovery Channel in a submerged car myth. They demonstrated how a tool just like this one and the "LifeHammer" both worked perfectly on the side window of a submerged car. So I'm sold on this tool's ability.
