"It was an instant tent, tall, no bugs, no leaks, and plenty of room. ... I had a Coleman tent that I used for the past 13 years with no issues until the zipper broke. ... I'm used to the outdoors, but I still don't want bugs or water in my bed."

"it’s great for 2 adults and 2 kids, with a good amount of space between beds so we can have luggage or hang out if it’s raining. ... If it’s just two people it’s a really big tent but if you want a lot of extra room, it’s great."

"However, the Coleman instant tent I had for 13 years prior was just as easy and a fraction of the price :) ... I had a Coleman tent that I used for the past 13 years with no issues until the zipper broke. It was an instant tent, tall, no bugs, no leaks, and plenty of room. I suppose my expectations were high considering my experience with my Coleman and the price of this tent. ... Maybe I did. I used a Coleman for 13 years with no issues, and it was only 129 bucks. I think that is why I was so shocked and disappointed after paying 420 for this one."

"much more difficult to pack down. ... Coleman was a real pain packing down - aligning the tent poles so it it could fold over was tricky"

"The pole design means they are under twist pressure, and after I'd replaced the third set of poles I decided to go inflatable. ... and the poles kept breaking."
"I had an issue with one the the buttons on the instant up pole just giving falling apart."

"How much boot space do you have, the Coleman Instant Up is excellent, BUT takes a lot of room."

"Both of my Coleman Instant tents have holes in the floor after just 2 uses. Both of them leaked water in a moderate storm. ... The Coleman Instant Tent has a known issue with leaks so they sell an additional aftermarket rainfly. ... I have the rainfly. Doesn't even cover the windows.... The windows fill up with water and then the water started dripping right off the keeper for the windows screen...."
"I had a Coleman instant tent for 13 years with no leaks. One trip to the same campground with the T4, leak, and bugs. It made me sad. ... Yep, it leaked for me the first time I used it. Colorado mtn storms can be crazy, but short."
"I do not recommend the Instant Up as mine leaks ... there’s an aftermarket rainfly so it’s a known issue"
https://www.snowys.com.au/instant-up-gold-10p-tent Had this one for years with an Oztrail gazebo. Quick set up and great in all sorts of weather. Plenty of space with a divider that you can leave open all the time (which we did). Our family grew out of it and the boys want their own tent now, but the nearly 8 yr old tent is still going strong (handed down to my sister).
r/OutdoorAus • Tent recommendations for family ->If the budget can afford it, stepping up from the Coleman Silver to the Gold/Northstar range is a significant increase in quality and experience. Treat it well and it will last for years.
r/OutdoorAus • New to camping, need help picking up a 6P tent ->I don’t have this specific tent but a similar 10 person Coleman and it’s great for 2 adults and 2 kids, with a good amount of space between beds so we can have luggage or hang out if it’s raining. If it’s just two people it’s a really big tent but if you want a lot of extra room, it’s great. Our setup was done with 1 person and it went up in about 15 mins.
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->I've had a Coleman 10p tent for around 13 years now and it's still going strong!
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->I have a new 10p Coleman that I just got to replace our old, similar Coleman cabin tent and I love it. The old one held up for years of abuse and I kind of just wanted to treat us to a shiny new one, the older could still be used for years to come. The one feature that I LOVE and this one doesn't have is the hinged swinging door. It's a huge game changer for kids going in and out of the tent non stop. Otherwise, I'm sure this tent is awesome and the dark tech sounds fabulous too!
r/camping • Coleman, skydome w/ dark room tech 10P ->Dark room tents were just appearing right after I got my instant tent so I missed the boat, but instant tents are a heck yeah from me. I call them relationship savers. No hunting for tent poles, trying to fit this to there, having to roll the tent tight to get it bagged up. Yes, they're heavy and not meant for backpacking or lugging any distance. They're bigger packed than regular tents, but I can put it up and take it down on my own and don't need to crawl around on the ground for anything.
r/camping • Coleman Instant Up Darkroom Tents opinions and pros and cons ->Get one you can stand in or almost. Coleman ‘’instant tent’’ is not hard to set up. Best by tarp for rain fly so rain doesn’t go in windows
r/camping • Any reason not to get a bigger tent. ->I second this, I've bought 2 Coleman instant up tents and they are perfect. I do have a more hardcore tent but that's for hikes.
r/OutdoorAus • Newbie camping tent ->Only used it once so far but we just got the Coleman Instant. Stayed dry in a huge rainstorm. Up in a minute and much roomier than our last REI tent.
r/camping • Best hub tents? "Pop up/instant" options worth researching similar to gazelle? ->Coleman Instant Tent. We love ours. Ton of space.
r/camping • Affordable 6 person tent ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
