Great first time out!
Excellent first experience with this tent in some really cold temps (Florida cold, 30's at night). I am an older camper, solo, and not in the best physical shape. Still adjusting to the change from my Gazelle, but easy to set up, and lots of room inside. Inflation with the hand pump was very easy for me. I wish the bag was just a little larger to make pack away easier. No issue in good weather, but if it was raining or wet it could be a pain. I bought a cheap nylon bag that I can easily store the tent in with less worry about getting it the right size. Even with the larger bag I can still roll it into the outer bag with the pump parts, as those straps expand out quite a bit. Would be nice to have the ceiling loops on all sides, or a gear loft, but not a big issue and the provided ladder storage worked well. I loved using the front door as an awning, just know that the front door is very sheer, so for warmth or privacy the awning needs to be closed up. Stayed super warm inside once all zipped up, much warmer than my old tent. My 3rd attempt to find a tent to replace my Gazelle, and I think this one is a winner!

Awful packing experience
This tent is spacious for 3 people. It's relatively convenient to setup because it uses inflatable tubes instead of tent poles - though you still need to use tent poles to expand the rain cover. The biggest issue I have with this is packing it. The directions say to fold it into a third and then fold it in half. If you do this, the tent will be very thick and it will not fit into the sack it's meant to fit in. It is an incredibly frustrating experience trying to stuff it into the storage sack. I found that the easiest way to do it is to fold it into thirds and then stuff it in. It fits better that way, though still not ideal. I believe they should increase the diameter of the storage bag. I reached out to the company and they said that I didn't do it correctly and that they are planning to make a video that will make better explain the packing process. I'm considering returning this item. I paid full price, but for the price (600$), I don't feel that this is convenient.

Nice, solid tent.

I set it up for the first time yesterday. I will not be using the hand pump again though. It will be an emergency only option. The tent is solid, the height is great and it takes up less space than my old Mountain Hardwear 6 person tent as that had Jake's corners. This also means there's slightly less room inside, but not a deal breaker as the Jake's corners were oddly shaped. The tent itself is much heavier than the MH tent was, but it feels solid and I can't wait to take it camping. I should note that packing it into the provided bag will probably take longer than setting the tent up. I doubt it will ever see the inside of that stuff sack again. (Haha!)

-1 star for the tent bag

Great tent except for that super nice bag that no normal person will ever get the tent back in. Such a waste, when will manufacturers learn.

Great instant tent! Easily portable and roomy.

Solo female - car camper. This tent checked all my ‘boxes’ - easy to carry, large size and quick setup - it allows me to get outside and set up a camp site with ease. I can pitch this tent and fully stake it in less than ten minutes. Someone without health issues ( arthritis, bad back) could shave a few minutes, I’m sure. I plan to get an electric pump which will shave more time off. The tent has stood up to 20mph winds and all night rain without an additional tarp overhead. No leaks. The only thing I’d change is the pump - while I’m no beacon of health - it takes effort and can be a bit unstable if you aren’t standing firmly (watch YouTube setup videos to see what I mean). Otherwise, the tent bag is easy to carry and plenty large - no struggles repacking. Relatively small pack size fits easily in a car trunk. Very pleased with the tent. I would buy again.

Kind of amazing.

Set it up a time or two and you’ll see it’s really easy after that. It’s extremely durable. The air frame is a really strong style as far as tent structures go. It breathes really well too. I highly recommend this as a weekend or base camp tent. I always stay in a smaller tent for single nights, but that’s just me.

flimsy and difficult to setup

My friend bought this and said it collapsed on him. I was thinking of buying it after watching the video. So we set it up in his backyard to see what went wrong. The truth, it’s a flimsy design and was more difficult to set up than many pole tents. This tent also requires the lots of stakes to make it less flimsy. A lot of good thought went into the design and packaging. The quality of the materials is good. if you have the packing capability a Gezelle tent is much more spacious feeling given its design. It’s also WAY easier to set up. Very glad I did not purchase this tent, happy I could set up my friends to realize this. Oddly the whole rainfly felt sticky too, leaving a residue on my hands. I would not recommend this tent.

Easy to pack and unpack

Awesome tent, sets up really quick. Not sure why everyone complains about getting it back in the bag. There’s an instruction manual with pictures on how to get it back in the bag and I was able to get it back in the bag solo my first time.

Excellent Inflatable Option

I've only had a chance to take the tent out once. It's been years since I've set up a tent and found this to be a breeze. I could mostly do it myself, but having my kids help stretch things out made it simpler. Once set up, the tent is sturdy and spacious. The pockets to store personal items and the door are very well thought out. We had three people (me and two of my teens) and had plenty of room. Four people is probably the highest reasonable capacity, but I think one could creatively cram five into the tent. I was tempted to wait for the other Zempire models that were sold out when I bought this, but I'm glad I went with the aerospeed. I also purchased the inflatable canopy and attachment point. This gives me some flexibility and modularity. In many campsites in our nearby forests, there just isn't space for the long, tunnel type tents Zempire also sells. This tent fits just fine. And with more room, I can attach the canopy and even a second tent.

Gave out on 2nd use!

I honestly was excited when I bought the Aerospeed 6. I Thought the I finally had a convenient tent that sets up so quick. First time setting up did take a bit but got it up ok. I thought it being my first time it would be a trail and error run. But the inflatable poles throughout the nights felt flimsy even after I added more air. Plus going in and out of the tent , inflatable legs never felt sturdy. It was until my 2nd camping trip with the tent when it bece a nightmare. The tent never inflated . We were troubleshooting for at least 30 mins to get the tent erected but the inflatable poles never held up which ruined the camping trip. I really wanted to give this tent a try but ended up returning it. I give it an A for aesthetics. But overall Im being nice with my 2 stars. The packing up was a small struggle and tent bag should extend bigger. I really wanted to love this tent, what a shame.

Love This Tent

I absolutely love this tent! It was super easy to set up and offers great space inside. At first, packing it back into the carry case was a bit challenging, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes much easier. The only downside is that I noticed a hole in the carry case today after 2 camping use in Yosemite
