LookOurWay Air Dancers Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Man Set - 20 Feet Tall Inflatable Dancing Man with Blower for Business Advertising - Red/White/Blue

After one of my girls were killed by a hawk, I looked into everything to make sure it doesn’t happen again. The whacky tube man was a STRONG recommendation. Not only is the price unbeatable for the blower and the inflatable, but it also works for my girls! It’s loudish, but it’s what you’d expect with an inflatable powered by air. It’s also really fun to watch and super durable so far. I love the pink. And assembly was a two step, attach, and then turn on, simple. Strongly recommend!

So I bought this air dancer as a last resort to try to keep Hawks away from my chickens. (I have 90-100 chickens at a time!) So they are a big juicy alive target for those monsters in the sky. I have had this air dancer for almost 2 months and (not to jinx myself or my chickens) I haven't lost a chicken since!! My chickens are completely free range. I have 11 acres and they go everywhere all day. I plug him in in the morning when I let the chickens out of the coop and I unplug him at night when I tuck them back into the coop for the night. I mean guys, I have tried pretty much anything and everything that is legal you could think of to keep these winged jerks from killing my flocks and these air dancers must move around just enough to keep the Hawks from swooping down and carrying a chicken off. I will DEFINITELY be buying another one of these when this one wears out!!

Very cute. Bought as a joke gift for a coworker and she loves it. The motor is a little on the BBM loud side but it does work good and is a good quality.

I purchased the Rainbow color to entertain the customer children’s. It is gratefully and inspiring to see children’s happy face when they see the dancer moving at the top of the restaurant fridge. When problems arise: Once or twice a year, when the air flow speed decrease and the balloon start moving slowly and the balloon not fully rising up, the cause are that the fan blades, the internal walls and the grills are dirty due to the greasy particles of the air circulating in the restaurant adhering to the both sides of the blades and the walls or the air dancer, causing a slow and restrictive air intake, it is time for an internal cleaning of the air dance. Before doing any work on it, make sure the unit is unplugged from electricity. I just take it apart removing 6 screws, and using a degreaser cleaner, spray on "everywhere" (don’t worry, the fan is sealed but do not submerge it on water or spray on the cables at the connecting contacts or switch). After spraying with the anti-grease cleaner, wait a few minutes for the degreaser to work, then using a degreaser damped cloth clean all the interior and exterior parts for the air flow. When done degreasing it, put it back together, and IT will be AS GOOD AS NEW. Hope this help someone not to trash it away unnecessarily.

Decent little blower. The actual fabric is very thin and I don't think it will last very long.

I love this thing! It is very well-designed and well-crafted, and best, it carries an IP44 rating under the international electrical standards commission (IETP) codes, so that means that the motor enclosure and the power switch are fully rated for use in wet areas and for outdoor use (since I use my Air Dancer outside, in my poultry pen, I plug the cord into a GFCI-protected outlet,just to have one more layer of protection against possible electric shock...). So, here's the story: I have a bunch of pet chickens, geese and ducks who live free range in an outdoor pen (yes, they have two shelters/houses inside the pen for sheltering at night, etc.). Since I live in a remote rural area on a forested mountainside, there are lots of predators around, and so I have a 5 ft. high welded wire fence with added electric fencing surrounding the poultry pen, along with a very powerful and very reliable electric fence charger, to keep all of the 4-footed predators, such as fox, bobcats, raccoons, opossums, and bears out of the pen. However, particularly in late winter and early spring, that is, until the weather warms up -- which not only puts foliage on the trees, which serves to deter the airborne predators from flying down into the pen, but which also results in an abundance of small wild animals that the airborne predators would far prefer to my birds -- I have had, for years now, a continual problem with occasional predation of my birds by airborne predators such as hawks, falcons, and eagles. Well, this current late-winter/early spring has been particularly bad, and I have already lost two hens and one duck to a very heavy and large hawk with a wingspan of well over 4.5 feet. This rate of loss is excessive, and so I realized, a few weeks ago, that I needed to do something about it. Therefore, I came here to Amazon and ordered four large scarecrow owls to replace the one very old and rapidly-aging large scarecrow owl that had been in the pen, and I placed each owl on a perch about 8 to 10 feet above ground, such as fencepost tops, and on poles. I also purchased, and installed a bunch of those shiny reflective aluminized disks designed to move and spin in the wind, hopefully causing sufficient flashing light to scare off airborne predators. Well, three days after I had installed all of these new defenses in the poultry pen, I looked out my kitchen window and realized that my giant majestic hawk was back, and that he was sitting atop a pole in the pen and staring at the dead body of one of my hens that he had killed a few minutes earlier. So, I went running outside to try to scare off the hawk, and he waited calmly for me on his perch in the pen. As I approached him, he complimented me on the four large scarecrow owls that I had purchased and installed, and told me that they were beautiful, and essentially works of art. He also complimented me on the numerous shiny flashing reflective metalized disks that I had hung around the pen, and told me that they too were beautiful works of art. He further told me that he loved to sit on his perch above my poultry pen and admire the four large plastic owls and the numerous shiny flashing disks hanging on trees around the pen, and told me that they were very soothing to look at. I eventually managed to scare him away, but my poor dear hen was dead; she had been lying dead on the ground for several hours. So I went back to the drawing board, and started to do some REALLY SERIOUS due diligence (research) on the whole matter of how to REALLY SERIOUSLY deter really brave and determined airborne predators such as hawks, eagles and falcons who had IQs higher than Einstein's and thus were not deterred by ordinary hawk/eagle deterrents such as large plastic owls and shiny reflective disks hanging from trees. Unfortunately, all of the articles I found on the web simply offered the same old rehashed ideas, such as using very realistic large plastic owls, and using shiny metalized reflective disks hanging from trees and fences, and, of course, none of those things had worked for me at all, at least not during the wave of very heavy predation that I have been experiencing here this year! That night, as I sat in meditation, my angels came to me and suddenly, in my mind's inner eye, I saw a vivid image of one of those air-blower-powered "stick men", sometimes called air tube puppets or air tube dancers, that are often used for promotional purposes. A few minutes later, sitting at my PC, I did some really deep research and discovered that the vast majority of farmers and ranchers who have tried to use these things in and around farm fields and livestock pens for deterring not only airborne predators, but also large predators such as bobcats, raccoons, opossums, mountain lions , bears, wild dogs, and even wild horses, have witnessed some very amazing successes! So, I did some research on Amazon, and then ordered this air dancer (I got the tube man in red color). Well, now that it has arrived and is in daily use (and will be until the foliage comes back on the trees, which will be in 2 to 3 weeks from now) -- it works great! I turn it on a bit before sunrise, and turn it off a bit before sunset, and it works totally and perfectly to deter all airborne predators. Hopefully, the crows who visit the poultry pen to borrow some food, and also the songbirds and mourning doves, will quickly become accustomed to the air dancer, and will not be scared away by it. BTW, if you can get crows to visit your poultry pen, you are lucky, because not only are they very happy birds, but they hate hawks, and will often chase hawks away. Personally, I really love the crows who visit my poultry pen, as do my birds. BTW, because I have some minor concerns about the noise level of this 10 foot tall model, with the 1/2 HP motor, I have also ordered the smaller 6 ft model, which has a 1/4 HP motor, and is therefore quieter, and I am going to start playing with using the 6 foot version to see if it alone offers sufficient protection!

Just bad quality. First one arrived and worked well for about a week, then the on/off switch came loose. Replacement arrived, defective too, you have to wiggle the power wire going into the box for the fan to work, seems like it was not attached properly. I requested a replacement and got a message saying not available even though it's still available for a new purchase, bad service on top of bad quality. Stay away from this brand.

worked good, great buy, inflated easy and fast, low noise level, looed good

I use every day in front of my store and it work like a charm ! It is noisy but when you blow someting like that, sure it make noise ! But it work and consumer see it for sure !

Stand leider nicht dabei, aber man kann es betreiben, wenn man sich für wenige € einen Steckdosenadapter besorgt.

Excelente material, un poco caro pero vale la pena.

Kids loved it. Hysterical fun.

Sur mon terrain de camping pour amuser les enfants. Très satisfait et la livraison rapide merci.
