These giant inflatables are awesome. I own two 20' nutcracker and one giant 20' snowman and a 10' rain deer (and some "smaller guys", too. You have to be ready for problems with the big guys, especially wind. I have learned over the past 3 years that (1) Replace the lights with LED lights which are brighter and cool to the touch (2) have replacement fuses ready--you will need them (3) If you wind is more than 3 mph, you will need MUCH bigger commercial grade stakes; you can get 18" yellow commercial grade stakes from Home Depot in the materials supplies for concrete supplies (4) four lines on each giant (5) Get some colored duct-tape to patch holes (a sewing machine helps as well) (6) Be ready to replace the blowers at some point (7) Deflate them once a day and let the motors rest for 6-10 hours (8) Watch for tears and rips (9) Enjoy them! They are a lot of fun, and with a little daily care they will last a long time.
I'm gonna get it without a doubt. And yeah they're close in size- I'd say the 18' Jack is the little bit smaller version of the 20' Nutcracker that I have (for comparison)... their body shape is similar.
What's the wind situation on this per your experience? One of the side straps ripped out during like a 10mph gust for me. Had to get a new one. Now I won't put it up with winds over 8 mph.
So, when I had mine up, there wasn't any wind over 3 mph. I'm definitely not gonna have it up over 8 like you said. I also had my tethers really tight so it wouldn't move back and forth, but like you said, it ripped the tether loops out on yours... and I don't want to have that happen to mine.
Curious if you have the 20' snowman? If so, do you think a box could be built on casters to use on asphalt and then roll into a retail store every night once deflated? The thought is that perhaps all the tie downs could already be completed for employees and they would only need to wheel outside and plug in. Please let me know. Looks like we may need to reinforce the cloth loops.
So, I DON'T have the 20' Snowman. But the same situation applies for this one and the Snowman. And my question is how are the tethers going to be secured if ur rolling it in and out each day? I'll be glad to help u as much as I can tho=)
@@INFLAmy thought is to build a platform that has anchors to secure the tethers. Just not sure they will be spaced far enough. The other possibility is to wrap tethers around sand bags and each day sand bags go on platform at end of day. The fan base would be anchored to platform. Thoughts?
They should’ve put a YEF-200 on this since it is the biggest and most powerful base fan they make. My 7.5ft animated helicopter has it but they couldn’t put it on a 20ft inflatable. That’s pathetic.
@@INFLA also. What type of camera do you use to record your unboxings. Is it the camera on your phone or like a tripod type of camera. I'm trying to start uploading to my channel and need a little more info on how you grew your channel over the years. Thanks. 😉

I staked the base fan first, after I had positioned the inflatable where I wanted it. Then I attached the tether clips to the loops, while the inflatable was deflated (since it's too high for anyone to attach them when it's up), and I staked it down to where I thought it looked good and was up-right. And the tethers I have pretty tight. It was a little bit windy in the vid, not really but a little, and that's why I had them so tight-so it wouldn't bobble around or anything during the review=)
Do not pay more than $189.99. Retail for it is that price. Sold at At Home stores, and they get a good amount so if you go to one you'll likely find him.
Thanks for replying so quickly. I went to the store like u recommend and found one in stock but the motor in it is NOTHING like yours. this one has two small fans and they don’t even have a base like yours. Is this a new model or something that you know of? Thanks again
Yes. I just checked today after work and it is the 20ft Santa it has two motors about the size of the little 4ft inflatables lol I purchased it anyways and I got the 10ft one also… I opened the box for the 10ft one and it has the exact blower as ur 20ft Santa but the 20ft Santa I got has the two little blowers 😂😂 when I get back from my trip I will post a video up so u can check out the “new” model thanks for your help cheers !
I just got one of these and first time owning anything like this. I hear you have to let it run and be inflated all day, is that correct?.....I'm planning on putting on side of my home in an empty field, do you think the wind will be a problem, it is usually windy on that field all the time
Dang dude it really feels the Christmas spirit
sure does lol

Awesome👍 airblown colossal Santa Claus
I got the 20ft Santa and 20ft Nutcracker from at home. Can’t wait to inflate them.
awesome!!
I have the snowman and this santa. The santa has to be my favorite of all.
Was it bigger, or smaller than you thought?
That thing is huge might get the 18ft jack which is pretty close to this size I'm not sure yet

Getting it for 160 is a steal today. Awesome price.
It’s only $40 less than what it is now

@@leslynott7791 I would go with the sandbags. Seems like less pre-work to me
@@INFLA do you know the base dimensions?
@@leslynott7791 The base *fan* dimensions or the entire bottom of the inflatable?
I lost my base stakes. Any recommendations for replacements? I have the 12ft happy pumpkin inflatable.
Why would you actully use the base stakes that came with it. Anyway. I recommend some really heavy duty U shaped stakes
When’s your Thanksgiving display coming out?
i'm gonna start working on it this weekend
My at home has nothing left only a couple base fan inflatables.
dang, i really hope the one i'm gonna try to get the nutcracker from still has it
The Infla & The Table hopefully!
Are you sure those hands aren’t the size of you
maybe lol

Gemmy makes some of the most dumbass choices ever... especially this one=((((
@@INFLA agreed 😂
I want this inflatable so bad but my yard is a little to small. I think this deserves a yef-125
Any 20-footer deserves a 125 or better in my book.
Yeah I mean a YF 60 is a terrible fan for a 20 footer
Jenny is definitely getting cheaper over the years and I can see it happening
Sorry I meant gemmy
Your a great. UA-camr you inspired me to do my own viddeos
I am putting x mas inflatables I am just scared because thieves steal my inflatables but this year I will be putting heavy brick inside the inflatable
I hate those kind of people. Who has it in their heart to do something like that?!
Where can I buy it
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽❤️
sup from USA
@@INFLA same
Why tf would they put a YEF 60 in a 20 foot. Soo stupid.
IKR... I don't understand why gemmy never learns!
@@INFLA at least put in a 200 or something lol

Even worse, they might put a cheap fan on a 20 foot. Guess how long that would take to Inflate?
@@veryrandominflatablechanne3148 i'm thinking an hour lol
I would put a 200 on this inflatable
That is a great inflatable now that can draw a crowd
Agreed
Sure can!=)
Just bought the 20ft snowman and didn’t really think about the work it’ll take inflating/deflating on a daily basis 🤦♂️ any tips?
Wdym by work?
Wish they'd put a double tornado fans on a Gemmy 20ft inflatables
yeah
I personally like the Snowman the best of the 20ft’ers but this is a close second.
Snowman is my least fav 20 footer. But we're all entitled to our own opinions.
can you recommend a U shaped stake? i need some for my 14 foot inflatable santa the ones they came with are not strong enough

Wanna see my Christmas display?
i watched the video it looks good
Love this one!!!! Really wanted it........Will this be in this year's display?
Not only will it be in the display, it's going to be the CENTERPIECE. Surrounded by at least 5-well, I'll let the rest be a surprise lol
I know this is totally irrelevant but I LOVE skittles
ok lol
I know this is totally relevant but nobody gives a shit
What is this song called that was playing while the timer was ticking
@@Codyrhodes800sandstorm!
how long did it take to inflate
A century
@@INFLA i heard it takes 10-15 minutes is that correct
@@snowballinflatableandgaming yes😂
@@INFLA ok i am not buying it this year unless it gets a fan upgrade lol
@@snowballinflatableandgaming you could just replace the fan
I have the 20ft Snowman
nice
I like the snowman better then the Santa
@@johnf4466 not me. i really don't like the snowman. i think the santa is a much better design imo
why don't you like the snowman

And we thought the 12ft skeleton was tall
BOSS AF cool review
thx lol
2040: "70ft tall inflatable"

In 2040 “70 tall inflatables will have a yef-50
@@peyton-pi5qo more like a yef-1 LOL

How did you steak it down I’m afraid the wind would knock it down

wow
How do you keep it from falling over from strong winds???
I don't inflate them during winds over 6-8 mph.
Dang a yef 60 is way to small it should be a yef 200 or 250
they don't make a 250 I thought
Oh it’s a off brand commercial fan
How bright is yours at night
Mine no so
It’s not great, but it’s not bad. Make sure all the C7‘s are working in yours.
How much does something like this cost I’ve looked them up but price is all over the from 140 to 600 USD

How did it hold up over the year?
Perfectly fine.
I like to make prices for my inflatable‘s, 199, 299, if I had this one, I would make it $799 Love the inflatable!
Think it might go on sale this year again
Yeah I believe it will, too. I think it's $129 for Black Friday. Don't quote me on that but I know it's close to that.
Not gonna lie after I saw this it made me want it even tho I’m not that big of a fan of the 20 footers
20 footers scareds me lol
I definitely recommend. I love it. The fan sucks but it's still 100% worth it imo.
I'm getting that one next month
sweet! it's one of my favorites for sure
Sorry. I didn't buy it...
Put it in 0.25 you won’t regret it

I do not recommend putting inflatables in fields, just asking for trouble. You can have it on whenever you want.
That grinch I love it soo bad
You should get the snowman
i just don't like the design. it looks bad imo
Oh ok
Did you realize this takes longer than the snowman family?
Yes.
The nutcracker one is the most interesting one of them all. You plan on getting the snowman one too so it could go good for the 3 20ft amigos?
I've got 2X 20-ft Nutcrackers to go on each side of the Santa!
