Orange and Yellow Incred-a-Ball GBOP Great Big Outdoor Play Inflatable Blow Up Bubble Soccer Zorb Ball Heavy Duty Durable PVC Vinyl 65''

We purchased 2 of these human hamster balls, and they have both braved two birthday parties for 7 year olds. Both balls are still fully functional with no holes. The balls will start to deflate a little after some torment and abuse, but they air back up with no problem. We have rolled them across concrete and whatever else you might find in a yard. The plastic is super thick. I will say that it takes a LOOOONNNNNGGGG time to air them up. Each section of the ball has to be aired up individually. I used a small air compressor, and it still took me about an hour to air up each ball. It doesn't take quite as long to deflate them, but you won't be able to get all of the air out; which makes for a difficult time trying to store them somewhere. It is cheaper to purchase these balls than it was for me to rent them for 2 hours, so it was worth the money and has already paid for itself.

My 11 year old daughter begged to get this play-ball at the beginning of summer. She was overjoyed when it arrived. She and it were ultimately deflated.This thing was a major hassle to inflate -- and WAY TOO BIG to store in the garage. As far as inflation, we used a good electric air compressor we have in the garage. There are a ton of separate cells to inflate and it took ages and was pretty fiddly. Sadly, it did not stay inflated long either. We re-inflated portions of it upon request because my daughter's hands weren't strong enough to do it herself. She and some of the neighbor kids used it only on the grass in the yard and nearby park for a few days -- having to re-inflate before each us. It was fun the first few days. Because it wouldn't stay inflated and was to hard to permanently repair, it ended up cast aside partly inflated on the backyard patio looking sad for weeks. We finally decided to deflate it permanently and put it in the recycling bin (i only hope it can be recycled!!!). This turned out to be a major disappointment (though big learning lesson about 'Caveat Emptor') for our daughter.If you are thinking of getting this: Have a good pump. Think about where you will store it once inflated. Get a patch kit and a baby pool so you can find and repair lots of leaks. Be perpetually patient when you are asked each day to pump it up again -- or fix another leak. Kiss your money goodbye.

very good idea and lots of fun for maybe a total of 2 or 21/2 hours. the inflatable pods, or sections, were letting out air and it was deflating left and right. the grandkids loved it but I wasn't going to waste my hard earned dollars [w/shipping about $100] for something that kept deflating and flattening out. while inside the ball my grandson could hear the hissing sounds as sections were flattening out. this shouldn't be on the market for customers as it is a terrible product. however, to the store's credit, I complained and my son sent it back and I received credit for this gift. which I truly appreciated. I had to give it only 2 stars due to it being defective.

I bought this for my daughters 8th birthday. Arrived on time. After reading reviews before purchase I was ready to inflate using my air compressor. There are about 16 individual chambers. Each chamber has it's own valve to inflate. In our case each of the 16 valves was defective in that the flap that is supposed to help prevent air from escaping after filled with air was actually sealed to the valve. I tried to puncture the valves with a nail but that didn't work. Finally had to resort to using a sharp t-wrench screw driver. Was careful to not puncture the surrounding plastic. Once that was complete was able to inflate and was careful not to over inflate. Immediately after completion I noticed air escaping from four of the chambers. Found a bad seam on the inside that caused the leak. Used the included patch kit to repair. It has slowed the leak down but within a few hours those four chambers deflate. I went into this purchase knowing it's a giant ball made of plastic that kids will play with and most likely destroy quickly. Four days of use in the basement it's still holding up so I got what I paid for.

I bought this for my son's 9th birthday and he and his friends have been having a blast with it! We have had about 1 1/2 weeks now and have had about 6 of the compartments tear or come apart at the seams. We have patched a couple of spots where we could see am obvious problem but ran out of patches. Also some of the problem areas are on the seams and other compartments deflated without any visible problem. They are still playing with it and having fun with it but kind of dissappointing that it is starting to fall apart so quickly under normal wear and of kids playing with it. It's that what it is for anyway?

I bought this for my nieces who are three and one. They are a bit young for this toy but I like to buy stuff they can grow into rather than something they'll discard in a year. I blew it up and we took it in the living room after opening gifts. They were definitely shocked as the ball is very large. After getting over the initial fear of the ball, they had a lot of fun sitting in it. We kept it stationary so it was easier for them to play with it. It will be interesting to see what they do with it outside in the spring.It took a while to blow it up. I partially inflated each chamber so I could keep it hidden and still fit it through doorways to get it to an open space where I could finish inflating it. Total time to inflate it was probably about an hour. The nozzles were fairly rigid and they have to be squeezed to open the slit so air will go into the chamber. By the end, my fingers were getting sore. I see that as a sign of quality though because there was no sign of leakage once it was inflated.Make sure you get an electric pump. Any other method would be impractical.

I would not recommend anyone purchase this item. A great idea that was poorly manufactured. Imagine a youngster's disappointment on Christmas day when, after working for 2 hours to fill all the air cells, over a third of them won't hold air due to faulty seams or seals. Don't waste your money on this one folks.
