I loved this tree but it's ruined! Piece of junk! I've had inflatables for 7 years now...same ones, no problems in rain or snow. This one was ruined in the first big rain storm. Fried the blower. Before that it was annoying too. Every day when it deflated the blower would flip over. Therefore, I had to go out and flip it back over every day so that it would actually be in a position to inflate again. UGH! Too expensive for it to get ruined so easily.
