Alvantor® Pop Up Bubble Tent® - 12’ x 12’ Instant Igloo Tent® - 8-10 Person Screen House for Patios - Large Oversize Weather Proof Pod - Cold Protection Camping - Beige

Just received it a few days ago. It is exactly as large as we wanted/expected, is straightforward and easy to put up and take down with two people (I imagine it would be bukly and harder with just one). We set it up on a sunny 70+ degree day and it was sweltering inside. Definitely will benefit from sun shades (which we did purchase and set up as well and they clearly help) but we bought it predominantly for the fall, winter, and early spring. I think the "greenhouse effect" it clearly has will be exceedingly beneficial in keeping things warm inside even when far too cold for comfort outside. This looks like a winner! Hope to update this after several uses when the weather turns colder - and especially during/after a snowfall. Thank you! Updated December 31, 2020: After using it during the winter I can update my initial post. While I am not convinced that this would be ideal for deep cold weather (e.g., <20 degrees F), at this point I can say two things I was not able to say before: 1) With "reasonable" temperatures as noted above, this works exactly as advertised. In fall/autumn and spring, if there is sunshine take advantage of the greenhouse effect as well - it will stay comfortably warm inside even with cool temperatures and mild to moderate winds you will NOT feel the winds and you will be far warmer and more comfortable inside than outside; and 2) The customer service from this company is unparalleled. I had an issue that I needed to deal with and they took care of it immediately. If I could give this company 6 stars I would do so. Summary: I don't believe that this item is meant for the arctic - and I don't think that will be a big surprise for anyone. I also bet that with a heavy snowfall it could not tolerate that weight and would collapse. So I would not think that this should ideally be advertised as a winter gazebo, but rather a fall-summer-spring and maybe mild winter gazebo! But now that we got that out of the way, EVERYTHING else I could say about the product, and especially everything I could possibly say about the customer service and the company standing behind its product, I would now give five stars and six stars, respectively, if I could. And that is not all that common today, and is so very appreciated. Thank you, Alvantor - well done.

At first I was a bit hesitant to order after reading the repeated complaints about the quality of the zipper and the clear PVC wall being too thin. I took a chance on the new and improved model, made the purchase, and am beyond delighted. I ordered the 12x12 to fit inside my 12x12 gazebo with a metal roof. I was hoping it would fit, and it did. It fit perfectly inside my gazebo, and it is protected from the wind and weather. Inside the bubble we have seating for 5 (large chairs), and a propane fire table. It gets really cold where we live so did not think the fire table would provide enough heat, but boy was I wrong. It takes about 3 minutes for it to become almost unbearably hot inside the bubble so we need to open the top vents just to be comfortable in 30-degree weather. Snow is not an issue with the bubble being under the gazebo roof. The unit was very easy to assemble, but I am a bit concerned about taking it down for storage - I guess I'll see in the spring. As I write, the wind gusts are about 40 mph, and the bubble is hardly moving. I cannot comment on how the unit would work in a free-standing situation, but for my purpose it is ideal. UPDATE: The bubble has been the center of our gazebo through the winter and it worked great. However we need a heat source to keep warm during snow season. Now as we head in to summer it remains, and as it is becoming warmer, we purchased a small unit that works as A/C and heat. We are likely going to leave it in the gazebo year long.

Edit: I have now had this up since November over my hot tub. Overall it has been good, however, the quality is lacking. There is a large rip in the top- nothing sharp has touched it and we keep the snow cover on. I put flexseal on it to stop the spread and will see how that lasts. The same day I put the flexseal on I was opening the zipper (which I always do carefully) and the thread that connects the zipper to the tent broke. This shows a lack if quality. I did sew it back on as best I could, but I am waiting for the rest to unsew. I contacted alavantor and they have given me nothing but trouble. First they couldn't find my order even though I had contacted them previously and registered my warranty with them. Then they stated I needed to contact amazon. When you contact amazon it tells you to contact alavantor. I have replied to alavantor with this information and am waiting for a reply...which usually takes 4 or so days. For how much money this is I expect better quality and for zippers to not break. I get plastic can become brittle, but there is no excuse for the zipper. The set up was super easy and fairly quick-just be careful when opening it as it will get you in the shins! We got it to put over our hottub for the winter as we get a lot of wind. So far it has been great. The only issue we have had is with the zipper on the window not closing right (the teeth seperate a bit). It doesn't impact too much. They offered me $50 back to pay a local seamstress to fix it- I doubt I will find anyone to fix a zipper for that cheap. Since it is just a vent windowits not abig deal. Update: we got a lot of freezing rain and I found it collapsed. Once we cleared it off it popped right back into place. I could see why they sell an extendable pull for extra support in the center.

This bubble tent is the best thing ever! We are also the talk of the neighborhood when we set this up. First, the setup is a breeze. It is great that there are two zippered doors. We typically only use one but having the ability to use both is great. We have plenty of room to keep some of our outdoor deck furniture within the bubble throughout the winter. We setup an outdoor rug with four wicker spinning chairs, and ottoman that we place a wood board on top of to create a shelf to put a TV, one side table and an electric heater. The heater keeps the bubble warm throughout our NJ winter but without the heater it's quite comfortable. Having the bubble has extended our entertainment space when we host for the holidays. The bubble can withstand some snowfall but we are very diligent about cleaning it off regularly to ensure there isn't too much weight on it. We absolutely love our bubble and can't wait to set it up again and enjoy football Sundays while still enjoying the outdoors! One thing to note is continuous zipping/unzipping of the door(s) has pulled some of the stitching. We have hand stitched some to be sure that the tent doors remain intact 🤞🏻

We purchased the 15x15 bubble tent for some Christmas photo sessions. The day before the sessions were to start, we received some unexpectedly high winds which knocked the tent down, sending poles through the sides and ripping the plastic in several areas. It was a disaster. We reached out to Alvantor for advice on how to repair it but we received no support. We fixed it as best we could, just in time for the sessions, and used props and angles to hide the damaged areas. Over the next few days, Alvantor and I communicated about what happened. They apologized, requested photos of the damage, and then, much to our surprise- they offered to send us a new one. (!!) We have the replacement tent now but we'll wait till the spring to set it up since we're in zone 6 (winter at the moment). Meanwhile, we have our damaged tent set up in our urban backyard. We've had temps in the single digits, a small amount of snow, many frosts, and some winds. The tent is holding up beautifully, in spite of these conditions (note- we're not recommending this for everyone... we're just taking our chances since it's already hobbling along and we have another). We've enjoyed many gatherings in it, in the last month or so as it's considerably warmer inside than out, especially when the sun is shining. We keep tables, chairs, blankets, and faux furs inside all of the time. We've used a tiny tabletop fire "pit" in it (also not recommended, but totally doable, imho), and we add a small space heater now and then when it's especially chilly. At the moment, we have a claw foot tub inside waiting for a winter-hot-tub experience or two. It's going to be epic. Three small things to note: 1) The toggle ties that hold the rolled doors up aren't quite long enough. We extended them with rubber bands and they're fine now. 2) The tent retains moisture a lot. While we don't have any active leaks that we know of, the condensation drips from the ceiling most of the time. It's not a big deal to us, but it's something to consider if you're planning to have food or water-sensitive items in the tent. Venting it and leaving the doors open helps with the condensation. 3) We recommend removing the top cover during strong winds. We think it made the situation worse, as the winds were picking it up and shaking the tent violently at times. To sum it up - we're so very happy with this tent and Alvantor. The size is perfect (we've had 8 in it comfortably), it's beautiful, it allows us to enjoy the "outdoors" a bit more, and it's a wow factor in the backyard. We highly recommend it!

I love this thing! Easy to put up & has stood up really well so far. I wish I had ordered a bigger size.

It leaks a lot from the bottom seams when it rains but overall I love it. I set it up by myself, it was super easy, it didn't come with enough stakes though. I bought a 10 pk from Home Depot for $3.98. It's held up great in strong winds and snow storms. I sleep in it every night. I love the zipper, in below freezing temps it's harder to unzip but I have a heater in the tent and I'll preheat the tent before turning in for the night so that takes care of that. It's surprisingly warm in the winter if you can catch some sun. The sun was out a couple days ago and it was only like 23 degrees outside but the sun was shining and it felt like summer in the tent. It was amazing. I'm naked in the tent at all times and I was hot. I had to turn my heat off. But we haven't had much sun here tho and without the sun, it's cold. And I love being able to stand up all the way in it and have room to move around. I was sleeping in regular tents before this and I love this one so much more. I have furniture in here 😂

Update: Day 2, still early days, but wow this is actually TOO effective, and it's great. It's currently 43 degrees out and I am BAKING in here. Just ordered one of their sun shades. Wow! This is only Day 1, so I'll try to remember to update. But so far this seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I was able to set it up within a few minutes, and it's actually so warm that having it out in 60 degree weather was a bit TOO hot. Haven't tried it in more averse weather conditions yet - obviously wouldn't keep it up in wind speeds above 20mph, not sure any pop up could handle that, but it seems fine with the breeze so far. Don't expect to be able to put it back in it's case - the way it practically exploded up instead of just popped up told me that I'd definitely need a second person to fold it again. But it's been easy to fold to the size of one side, which is all i need to chuck it into the basement on super windy days. Looking forward to seeing how this holds up!

商品はすぐ破損。出品者には連絡が途中でつかなくなり返金対応もされず。無駄な時間を費やした上に精神的にとても疲れました。

We bought the clear Alvantor pop up tent size: 10'L X 10'W X 6.5'H. Bought it in December and got within a few days. It's been perfect for enjoying our Rotospa hot tub to protect us against the wind in our South Eastern Ontario winter climate. You can open the top to vent steam. Haven't had the need to secure it to the ground as it's a secure fit. Had to cut the bottom to put over the hot tub though. Holds up to the heavy weight of wet snow. Had a lot of snow this winter too and it held up amazing! The door opens via 2 zippers and can be rolled up or flipped over the top to access a table outside if needed or can close the zippers. Ours does manage to fit a small shelf inside it with our hot tub that sits on the ground. Doing so though we can't close the one zipper all the way but it's okay. It doesn't get cold and you need to vent the steam. It steams up so your view outside can be blocked but we could be in it for hours reading which we can't do without a tent in the winter due to the chill that can really nip at your ears. Prevents heat loss from the hot tub water as well. The only slight negative is you have to go to the side, lift up the tent, to access the lid to close it after you have left the shock work its magic for a bit. Had some fun writing in the steam on the tent too lol. Sorry, I forgot to get photos of it covered in snow.

Il prodotto dopo neppure 4 mesi al sole ha ceduto una cucitura sulla cerniera, inutili e senza risposta,minimo per una assistenza su quale collante utilizzare per la riparazione, neppure amazon è riuscita a farmi rispondere. Una grande idea, pagata dal consumatore a peso d'oro ma pessima realizzazione di una azienda che vede solo come imbrogliare l'acquirente. Non vi venga in mente di acquistare da questi signori

Nous avons reçu la tente très rapidement. Produit de grande qualité. nous l'avons mise en service rapidement, faire attention lors de l'ouverture, elle se déplie rapidement. Pour la mise place des arceaux il faut aussi faire attention lors de leur mise en place. sinon tout est bien de qualité, les petits sacs à sable, les tendeurs. je recommande.

Bin begeistert wie schnell sich das Zelt erwärmt und man damit elekt. Heizkosten spart
