This is an extremely cute inflatable and a crowd pleaser with the younger set in our house and neighborhood.  I am not sure how resilient this item will be, especially in the chilly and rainy weather.  Note that the plug for this gets extremely hot (and could be a bigger liability than we intended).  To extend its life, we took extra precautions once we placed it outside (e.g., secured it to a column and placed it on a tarp) and used it only for a few hours at a time the week of  Halloween.
