Pros: easy to pitch, good value
Cons: difficult to repack, groundsheet same material as tent, size of packed tent
"This is a good tent for price as it was on sale!
The repackaging of the tent is a bit of a struggle but you can view how to do this on u tube. I would high recommend you do this before going away. The storage bag is a massive disc shape.
The ground sheet is made of the same material as the tent so I would say it would be easily torn."

Cons: instructions poor
"bought this tent after reading reviews and it took in 4 teenage girls for a camping party with no problems.,Watch the utube video though before you even try to take it down as the instructions are not terribly useful. Overall though a good buy and would suit 2 adults and a child with plenty of room."

Pros: easy to pitch
Cons: hard to put away
"This is a great tent and very good value for money. I picked it up in the Halfords clearance sale, with additional discount for online purchase so it was really pleasing to the wallet. The tent is extremely easy to pitch, and just jumps out of the bag. This leaves you with the simple task of attaching the fly sheet and pegging it down. I found it quite difficult to feed the poles through as they seemed quite tense, but with some force, this was easily done in the end.
Inside the tent is very spacious, with one large room, easily big enough to sleep four adults. It doesn't have any kind of porch though so storage of bags may be an issue.
It was fairly difficult to put the tent away at first, although there are instructional videos on the youtube which were a great help. This just takes a few practice attempts to get the hang of it.
Overall, this is a great tent for a recreational camper which is easy to pitch and is a good size inside."

Pros: popup excellent
Cons: thin groundsheet not much use
"The perfect tent for two people on a weekend camping trip, Top quality from Gelert with only one minor flaw.
The built in groundsheet is the same thin material as used for the rest of the tent, it really needs something more resistant to sharp stones. I recommend a separate groundsheet to go under the tent before pitching."

"We were looking to downsize from our 6 man tent for weekends away and saw this instore for a bargain price! It is excellent and spacious inside and surprisingly easy to fold away (after a few attempts and then watching a video online!). We have yet to use it for a weekend away but for the money this was excellent value!"

Pros: very quick to pitch, great quality for the price, easy to dismantle (with right technique)
Cons: ignore dismantling instructions
"Didn't really want to get a Pop up tent, but the reviews for this were very good so decided to give it a try. I must say I wasn't disappointed, it was really easy to erect and looks really cool. The front and back door feature is really useful and the over all quality is very good. I got the 4man to use as a 2man so there would be plenty of space. I think if 4 people were in it, it could be a bit claustrophobic but 3 would fit in with real comfort. The only downside and this is really nitpicking, was the instructions for taking it down. After twenty minutes of struggling and swearing at it, I decided to look on youtube to see if anyone had filmed themselves dismantling it. Thankfully someone had, and I must say it's really easy when you know the right technique."

"This is an awesome product. tent erects in a few seconds and folds away in the same amount of time. the weather cover is great really keeps the warmth in too and this product comes with alot of tent pegs for holding it securely in place.
I managed to put 2 double airbeds side by side in this tent without them being squashed in and it has a pocket at either side for storing a torch etc. Overall a great product and ideal for a quick getaway, festivals or adequate enough for a few nights away. BRILLIANT!!!!"

Pros: quick pitch
Cons: small
"Camped at hillend on the gower s wales. The tent took everything the wheather could throw at us. We ( my wife , 5yr old and me) were warm and dry despite the torrential rain and high winds for three days in a row.
annoying that the elasticated string snapped in the tent pole when taking the tent down.
The tent was just big enough for us, would say a bit cramped for four."

"I bought mine with overnight sleeping at festivals in mind and it has proved to be perfect for the job. So quick, easy and effortless to put up and take down (watch the youtube video to master the putting away technique). Ample space for 2 adults on big, comfy airbeds. Totally waterproof during torrential overnight rain. The lack of any porch would rule it out for general camping purposes. Overall, a brilliant tent."

"This product represented excellent value and did exactly as stated - Quick Pitched!
Having tried camping before with a large tent that took an age to set up I'd avoided it at all costs. The Quickpitch tent took a few minutes in novice hands to erect. A bit of practice was required getting it back in the bag, but after trying a couple of times - it's now just as quick to put away.
Advertised as 4 man but probably better placed as a generous 3 man tent given that it's a single room."

"I bought this tent for an overnight camping expedition with my two young children. I wanted a tent that was big enough for all three of us in comfort and easy for me to pitch independantly.
The Quickpitch DS was absolutely perfect for the job. It literally flew out of the bag and opened up, and then it was simple to thread through the support rods and peg out the guy ropes. My camping companions hated me - I was inside way before they had finished erecting their tent.
It is perfect for 3 as it just fits in the 1 x double and 1 x single Areo airbeds I used, but 4 x singles or 2 x doubles would be impossible. It is higher than I thought, as at 5 foot 4 I could just stand up. Would be very comfortable for 2.
Overall, a great tent for the money and a pleasure to pitch."

"I bought this tent mainly because it had a front and back door, meaning that it had a bit of a breeze going through it, which if you have ever woken up in a boiling hot tent in the summer, you will know is a great thing.
It was pretty easy to put up but I would recommend watching the video before taking it down, or doing what I did and finding someone else to do it for you."
