I have 4 kayaks and 2 paddle boards. Simple and fun entertainment. Easy to transport. Light in weight. We have had more fun as a family the last 2 summers than many before. It had brought family and friends together to enjoy a great day at the lake in the sun. They are durable and built tough. They have been dropped and dragged with no damage. We love them and can't wait till summer rolls around again. Thanks for the amazing memories Lifetime!!!

We bought this for our teenager, and also bought a larger one for my husband but my husband actually likes this one better. The stabilility is amazing on it. My teenage son can actually use it like a paddle board down the river without it flipping. It's light enough To pack but heavy enough for it to last a lifetime! I've yet to be disappointed in any lifetime product I've owned! Great kyak for a great price!

I live close to a lake and just wanted something for a relaxing time on the water. This certainly filled the bill. It is easy to transport. It fits in my Chevy Blazer, I just keep the hatch window open. It has a nice cargo space where you can put a small cooler, and the included back support has a nice storage pocket. I liked it so much I bought another one for my son. It's a really fun way to get some upper arm exercise. It paddles really nicely. You wouldn't win a race in it, but that's not what I was looking for.

This boat is sturdy, easy to use and well balanced. It is simple to get on and off of while in the water, which makes it a decent swim platform, as well as boat. The width (which is the reason it is so well balanced) does slow it down a bit. If you want a boat to race, this is not the one. However, if you want something that is reliable, easy to paddle for hours and light enough to toss in the back of the truck, this is exactly the boat you need.

This kayak was a little heavier then I expected, without a handle at the back it was slippery to carry.any distance. Very stable, when with other 8 foot kayaks whoever is on this one will be lagging behind. It doesnt go through the water as fast as the other ones that are more streamline in their design. If you are not going far or not with other different kayaks then its great. I even tried standing on it and i was abl to. Its a beautiful color and came with a really nice paddle. I now have a different sit on kayak that goes through the water as fast as the sit on kayak. The sit on kayak Is my favourite. Your not confined and it has a more free and rustic feel. Better for sun tanning and little passengers. So if you have help getting it to the water or your a guy, dont mind putting some extra effort into paddeling it, the sit ON kayak is fantastic.

Lifetime products are simply excellent, and these kayaks are no exception. We looked online to see if we could get a better deal, and not even the Lifetime Store itself offered such a great price! One retailer that sold "seconds" didn't even come close! These kayaks are easy to transport, comfortable, and easy enough to maneuver in the water that our 6- and 8-year-old granddaughters could easily row, turn, and enjoy these kayaks! This is a phenomenal value! We have recommended this product to our family and friends!

I looked around quite a bit before deciding to order a kayak online. The kayak itself is nice, exactly as pictured and a good bargain. I do take exception to the way it was packaged for shipment. It was basically in a big plastic bag which offered no protection to the rigors of shipping. My kayaks (2) both arrived scratched and dinged up, which I why I gave it a "3" for meeting expectations.

I've had my Lotus for 2 years now and can't find anything wrong with it. The stability on the water is great. I've had it in river rapids (not large) and paddled through currents with no problem. It maneuvers easily where ever I've had it and is easy to paddle, my arms don't even get tired! I am a 63 year old woman and can load/unload by myself and get it to the water w/o a problem. I purchased a "leash" for the paddle so I can't lose it when I'm out, especially by myself. My first trip out one of the fasteners on the seat popped out. Customer service immediately answered my email and sent me the replacement parts for free! I was back on the water by the weekend. Can't say enough good things about the Lotus or the Lifetime customer service, top shelf!

In 2012 we purchased our first sit-on-top kayak from Lifetime. My wife, who was afraid of all kayaks loved it because she did not feel trapped, and it is so easy to use. The next year we bought another, and the following year we bought 2 more. They are durable, lightweight, and everyone who comes to our lake house falls in love with them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this 2 pack along with some youth kayaks to get out on our local lakes and ponds. This beat all of my expectations. Quality is great and ability to transport is fairly easy. We are already looking at getting 2 more so friends can come along
