A neighbor just gave one to my 10 year old daughter and she LOVES it. It's her favorite pool toy (and she has a lot). The charge does last for about an hour which is really a long time if you think about it. Also, my husband is over 200 lbs. and it pulls him no problem. The regular price was $99, but my neighbor got it on sale at WalMart for $30. I would HIGHLY recommend this toy!
