Works great! October 12, 2008
Lightweight. Stores compactly. Portable. Easy to put up and take down. Didn't even bother with the instructions. Received shipment in time for us to take to the beach in August. Wish we had this tent years ago!

Broke on the first day July 28, 2008
Opened fine, but trying to close this tent was a beast and basically it bent on itself and broke.

Super easy and very useful April 16, 2008
We bought this product at least 4 years ago and have brought it to Hawaii every year. Despite not packing it in a suitcase because it's just slightly too large, it has not broken even with airline personnel handling. My husband is very fair skinned and he uses it all the time, we place all of our beach gear in to to keep things out of the sun and we just love it. Many people at the beaches in Hawaii have asked us about it and we have recommended it very highly. We also have a sun shelter that uses flex poles but we prefer this one because of the ease of set up and take down. Even putting it in the carry bag is very easy.

Its alright January 4, 2008
handy and easy to operate. but dont know how much it will withstand winds on the beach. Stictly alright.
Plus points --> small, easy to handle (setup) , lightweight
Drawbacks --> Pegs are not strong enough for heavy winds

Abo Gear Instent Review August 10, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I purchased the Abo Gear Instent as a beach shelter for our infant daughter. Its first use at the beach in cool spring weather went well. The Instent was fast to set up and take down. Our baby enjoyed exploring the tent and soon fell asleep. Not much room though for adults to sit comfortably and the ceiling height prevents use of chairs.

Our second experience with the Instent was very different. At the beach on a sunny day in June, the Instent got very hot inside despite a normal ocean breeze and the windows open. Baby was sweating and crying so we took her out. During this time, one of the corner poles kept collapsing and I had to push it back into its socket. None of the other shelters on the beach seemed to be having problems. On take down, one of the plastic poles (maybe the same one) broke from its socket and tore into the fabric of the tent, rendering our Instent useless.

I contacted Abo Gear, and despite a quick response and a promise of, "We'll take care of the problem", I have not received a replacement or a status in sixty days. I contacted Abo Gear again and they responded with questions about the weather on the day it broke. It seems Abo Gear is looking for a way out of honoring their warranty.

On a recent Instent-less trip to the beach, a friend purchased a Lil' Nursery tent for us. It is smaller, cheaper and better ventilated than the Instent and worked fine on the beach in the July sun, though it does require a few minutes to set up. I wish I had bought this first and saved eighty bucks on the Instent. Since Abo Gear customer service never came through for me, I don't know whether I had a lemon Instent or whether there are major quality problems with this product. Based on my experience with Abo Gear and the tent's performance, I give them both the lowest rating. If by chance I receive a replacement, I will update this review.
