"With little kids including a baby who doesn’t like to be put down, it’s a huge time saver!"
"The biggest draw is the ease of set-up. It's so nice to have it up in literally 1-2 minutes."
"The setup/take down time and size when setup makes it totally worth it to me and my uses."

"I did a raging thunderstorm in it and stayed dry."
"You have to make sure to guy out the hubs in strong winds, and the more horizontal the guy line can be the better, or else wind can collapse the hub. ... I'm taking 15-20mph plus wind. Was in 30-40mph gusts and it held up, but I'd guyed out the hub the direction the wind was coming from with two guy lines, each as horizontal as I could get them, 45 degrees from each other."
"Never had an issue when it went through a severe windy thunderstorm when camping other years."

"The footprint of the floor is a square for the T4 hub tent, so you should find the available space easy to work with, even with mattress. ... We have the T4 plus, which is just two squares with a room divider. We use cots and there is room for 5 and the dogs."
"not 4 sided. That way you can setup a table in the middle and still get around, or set up multiple tables on the walls with tons of room."
"I like to have the room and be able to stand or sit in it with a chair shoud it be raining, all while having my pad and bags in there."

"Think im on my fourth year with it. I camp maybe 3-4 times a year. Early spring summer fall."

"The only problem I have with it is its size when packed up in its bag. It can be a pain if you don't have a truck or van to transport it."
"As a long time Gazelle owner I think the only asterisk is weight/transportation. ... at nearly 30+lbs it can be an issue lugging it around if you're not camping within a reasonable distance of your car."
"Downside it’s heavy and big. ... Like the size of a small person in the bag. ... And I think it weighs maybe 30 some pounds."

archangel426 1.0Check out gazelle tents. I have the T3x and the T8. Love both. The T8 is too much for 2 people IMO. I'd take a look at the T4. Not the T4 plus. A bit big, but super easy to put up and take down.
geekedupj 1.0Just got the T3X Gazelle so excited to break it in
mrpopo573 1.0As a long time Gazelle owner I think the only asterisk is weight/transportation. I love our T3X but its not Honda CIvic Trunk Compatible :) and at nearly 30+lbs it can be an issue lugging it around if you're not camping within a reasonable distance of your car. Just my .02c, never owned anything as easy to setup.
Rich_Celebration477 1.0I just bought a gazelle T3x. It’s super easy to set up and I did a raging thunderstorm in it and stayed dry. Also shout out to Exped Megamat for comfortable sleep
Slight_Business_3080 1.0I have a deluxe gazebo, T4, and T3X. My friend has the T4+. They’ve given me many good years and are still like new. Camp setup is mere minutes. My only gripe is that I will bust my butt on the triangle doors EVERY SINGLE TIME.
WearFamiliar1212 1.0I really like my Gazelle T3X. It is 5 ft long when in the bag. It’s 30 lbs. Easy to setup and take down. The bag is slightly oversized, no need to sit on it to get the zipper closed. I’m 66.
plays-with-toys 0.1If packed up space and relatively large weight is not bad then consider a hub style tent. I like my Gazelle Overland edition. The doors are a little tricky getting in and out but in all other regards (setup and takedown) it seems like that would be a good fit.
srsh32 0.1Bought mine from Amazon. Apparently the green color T4 and the blue overland are available at REI
Lol. No, we aren't bots. You'll see really positive reviews outside of reddit as well, including video reviews on YT. The biggest draw is the ease of set-up. It's so nice to have it up in literally 1-2 minutes. But also the height all throughout the tent makes for a wonderful camping experience. I actually enjoy hanging out in my tent. It also feels sturdier than most tents but would definitely need guy lines in windy conditions. The only problem I have with it is its size when packed up in its bag. It can be a pain if you don't have a truck or van to transport it. Not everyone likes the door but I have no issues with it.
TurtleyCoolNails 0.1We have a two Gazelle tents (one one-room and one two-room) and their gazebo. They are a breeze to set up and definitely not a gimmick!
I would suggest two tents then. We have a massive Gazelle tent and it is geared for 4-8 people but if I had to share it, I would only say four people comfortably with our stuff inside the tent too. It sounds like you have a pop up tent too? These will always be long and bulky because of what they are. Our old tent was very compact when packed up but was not a pop up and took longer to set up. My husband hates the size and weight of the Gazelle but it is the trade off of ease of setting up/breaking down that he gets for it. I think your idea to go bigger to fit more people inside a tent is not ideal if you are already worried about the size of your current tent.
Consistent_Young_670 0.1Do you have any other requirements, and how will this be used? If you're mostly overlanding or car camping, the best value for the money is a Gazzel Hub tent, but there are downsides, like its weight and size. But I love the fact that I can order replacement parts, including the detachable floor panel.
