"sets up insanely fast. ... And realistically I'll have it up and fully staked out with guy lines in about 5 minutes."
"sets up in under 3 min including stake out time. ... Take down is just as fast and it fits in its storage bag with out much fuss. ... set up in under 90 seconds 120 if you putting in stakes."
"setup/breakdown is a 10/10"

"I've had mine for 8 to 10 years now. ... Probably my best camping investment. ... I've used it over a hundred nights at this point."

"I will say that I have two Gazelle hub tents and never had a problem with this. ... There is a small gap where the main zipper meets the bottom but even after a week camping, it is no more the usual bugs than in regular tents."
"I haven't had issues with bugs, I make sure the floor is attached well with the velcro."
"It’s a regular tent that is waterproof and rainproof, let alone bug proof."

"the packed size, it's fkn big ... You really need to be sure you can fit it in your car or be prepared to strap it to the top. ... When I had a Jeep, it BARELY fit! Bottom right corner. When I shut the tailgate, it would nudge it and that was having to move the passenger seat up as far as I could and still be able to sit in the seat."
"It's about the size of 12 by 12 popup shelter folded up."
"folded up. It ’s so long that you pretty much need to put it on the roof of your vehicle on your crossbars."

"Also one time we got maybe 2 or 3 inches of rain in a downpour and some water leaked in through the hubs. I've since put seam seal on the stitching over the hubs after that to hopefully help."
"The only issue with Gazelle is in severe downpour (around 2.5 inches in an hour) the stitching around the hub. ... The roof fly dumps water off right onto that hub."
"Only issue I had was one night when we got over 2 inches of rain. The rain started to seep through the stitching at the hubs."

"the door is a trip hazard"
"the door opening may be difficult for a disabled person to negotiate."
"the ONLY thing I do not like about my T4 is that the door has a high threshold and a low overhead clearance for my drunk 6'3" sasquatch body. ... lol right! Yeah I get it and have been there too!"

"In winds, you'll want to stake down the sides or they'll blow in (this is from the experience)."
"Another concern is high winds. I have used it in steady winds up to 25 mph with higher gusts, but I had to tie out the hubs with guy lines, using two lines per hub to give better holding power, and also I swapped out the stakes to more heavy duty all metal spikes which I bring a hammer to hammer into the ground."
"It's susceptible to wind so you have to stake it out well and also use guy lines from the hubs as I've used it in windy Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, etc."

"if it’s at all warm outside you will not want to be in your tent."
"Also, the bug netting is very small which is great for bugs, but not for really good airflow."
