Easy to set up- husband went from in the box to fully blown up in about 10 min the first time. Long enough for me to bring the birthday girl to get a donut and surprise her when we got home! It was the perfect size for a backyard birthday and to easily use over and over with ease. Easy to put away too- we bought a blast in ziploc bag and store t in there between uses. It will even work in our garage for those colder winter days! My 3 year old even comments- that blows up fast!! Every time we use it.
