Setup: I timed it the other day and from car parked to paddle in the water took me 10 minutes. That includes maybe 2 minutes to carry the kayak down to the water from my parking spot. Since it is quite light, it is easy for me to carry solo. The pump it comes with is a high-volume low pressure pump--a short, fat thing--that works really well.
Breakdown: Breakdown is even faster. By the time my friend has his kayak on his roof carrier and tied down, mine is deflated, wiped down, packed in its bag and loaded in the trunk. The pump has a deflate mode that I use to pump the last bit of air out of the main chamber. There is some extra work though. When I get home, I unpack the kayak, partially inflate it, towel out the cockpit, and leave it out to dry in the sun for a few hours. It might be overkill, but I want to make sure the kayak is completely dry inside and out before storing it away.
Performance: Tracks very well for an inflatable. It's not going to perform like a 14' Eddyline, but it's better than you might expect. The internal frame, although minimal, provides some shape to the hull, and there is a very small skeg, both of which help tracking. It does not have any footpegs, but I did not find that to be a problem. I do feel like I am blown around a bit more in windy conditions than a hardshell. Also, it feels slow in choppy water. The body seems to absorb the chop rather than cut threw it.
Capacity: At 6'0" and 195 lbs, I am about at the limit for this boat. If you are any taller than that, you should probably try it out first. At my weight, there is some sag in the boat. I am probably going to get their backbone that increases the rigidity of the boat. They also make a drop-stitch floor which would serve much the same purpose.
Storage: Despite what it says in the description, there is very little storage space. I can fit a life jacket behind the seat. That's about it. Anything else goes in the cockpit between my legs or tied down to the top of the boat. There are Velcro straps on the deck you can use to hold a paddle or a fishing pole. There is no water bottle holder. I tuck the water bottle alongside of the seat.
Miscellaneous: I like that the boat only has a short skeg as I do a lot of kayaking in shallow water. Some inflatables have large skegs would limit my ability to explore mangrove tunnels. The seat is surprisingly comfortable. With the side chambers, the walls of the kayak are pretty wide. This makes it more difficult to enter and exit if you use the straddle method.
River or Lakes it performs perfectly in high winds and strong currents.
I recommend the backbone (advanced elements backbone-bow & stern frame) works well without but really appreciate the extra support for my spine esp on those 4 + hr days on the lake.
Have run over logs & shallows with rocks, not that I would recommend constant contact, but each time has come out without any marks.
I looked at other type of inflatables but this is an actual kayak, not a flotation device for playing in your swimming pool.
Totally worth the investment.

Totally worth the investment.
Deflating and repacking the kayak is more trouble than inflating it, but it's five or ten minutes either way. I always wipe the water off of the bottom before packing it, but after a couple of trips, I don't get significant water in the kayak anymore. On a calm lake, after learning to paddle efficiently, wiping out the interior isn't necessary. Leaves and dirt from my feet are a bigger problem than water.
I withheld a star from the overall rating for one reason. This ad made me think that the boat doesn't include a pump, so I ordered one. Now, I have two identical pumps. I'll keep the extra pump in case I never need it, but I didn't need to order it.
Update: After a couple of months of paddling exclusively with the backbone, I paddled without it to save a little setup time and noticed a big difference in tracking. The improvement seemed marginal when I first used the backbone but was very noticable when I removed it after much experience with it.
One reviewer commented that the main valve is hard to deal with. I disagree. It's a two-way valve, so you can set the airflow direction, making it very easy to inflate and deflate the kayak. I also bought the recommended pump. It takes me about 5 minutes to inflate the kayak and get everything set up. Deflating it is even faster. I'm 5'5", so the kayak is plenty roomy for me. If you're taller than 6', the legroom may get a little tight.
Overall, it's an excellent choice for recreational kayaking on lakes, slow rivers, and calm bays. You won't need a big car or a large storage space either. Big thumbs up!

Wir haben das Boot (incl. notwendiger Pumpe) im März 2021 gekauft; über die Haltbarkeitsdauer kann man so noch nicht viel sagen aber es wirkt ziemlich robust und fehlerfrei verarbeitet. Mal schauen, wie viele Jahre uns das Kajak begleitet ... Bis jetzt sind wir begeistert!
