PROS:
Great layout for family holidays. The front area of the tent is excellent as a wet/dry zone.
Large windows to let in plenty of light that are tinted for additional privacy.
Each window has toggle-up blinds. The blinds can be toggled halfway up, providing a further privacy barrier.
You can roll the front door back to create a sheltered porch.
The door between the front and living areas uses the excellent Quick & Quiet mechanism and includes a bug mesh.
Two additional side doors can be open but sealed with bug mesh, which helps keep the tent cooler when the weather is hot.
One side door has a porch to be used as an alternative rain-safe entrance.
There's a zipped cable entry on both sides of the tent, making it easier to hook up the electricity.
Both bedrooms have a cable entry point. Ideal for powered lanterns or charging your phone at night.
There's cable entry from the living space into the front zone. Useful for powered lanterns there.
The tent can use the HookTrack system (additional accessory) to help position lights exactly where you want them and even hang up a movie screen :-)
Bedrooms are longer than standard at 215 cm long. The main bedroom has a Quick & Quiet door.
There are storage pockets in each of the three tent zones.
The tent material is fire-proof and has a 4000 mm hydrostatic head with taped seams. It is also treated to UPF30+ to help protect its occupants from harmful UV.
The tent includes guy line storage, which is extremely helpful for the next time you get the tent out.
When pitched correctly using the storm straps, the tent is rated to wind force 9, which is a strong gale!
Tent pump with pressure gauge included.
Optional fitted carpet accessory (highly recommended) and footprint to help protect the underside and position the tent.
CONS:
Tent bags for inflatable tents tend to be larger and heavier than poled tents, as you can always separate the poles into a separate bag for poled tents. So make sure you have room to store and transport the 100 x 45 x 45 bag (which may be larger after you pack the tent away for the first time). At 33.4kg, you'll want at least two people to lift it to avoid injury.
If you are on a tighter budget, only have one or two kids, and want to get away camping at the weekends, the Coleman Aspen 4 is well worth considering.
While it might not have quite as many features as some other tents in the Coleman range, it does come with features not normally found in this price bracket, such as a 4000 mm hydrostatic head, no trip entrance, and a wind test rating of seven on the Beaufort Scale.
If you are on a tighter budget, only have one or two kids, and want to get away camping at the weekends, the Coleman Aspen 4 is well worth considering.
It may not have all of the features of some more expensive tents in the Coleman range, but it still packs some features you don't normally see in this price bracket.

PROS:
Lay-flat no-trip groundsheet at the large tent door so you don't trip going into the tent.
4000 mm hydrostatic head. Most tents in this price bracket only have 3000mm.
Small shelter on the front of the tent makes it easier to get in and out of the tent if the weather isn't as good.
Darkened bedrooms for a better night's sleep.
CONS:
Ideal for weekend camping. If you want to stay longer, such as several nights for a family holiday, we recommend looking at the slightly larger Coleman Aspen 4L.
If you want features like mesh to keep the bugs out, look at the Coleman Meadowood 4.
This is a great tent with lots of features.
It's lightweight and simple to pitch. The size makes it ideal for a few nights camping at weekends. For longer stays, we recommend looking at the Coleman Meadowood 4L, which gives you a bit more space.

PROS:

Flexible front porch option
Good ventilation for when it does get warm
Carpet and footprint available (optional extras)
CONS:
As with most inflatable tents, the packed size of the tent can be large, so make sure you have space to get it to the campsite along with all the other items you'll want to take.
The Outwell Parkdale 4PA is a great smaller family tent, and a good size to throw in the back of your car for a last-minute weekend camp. Although this tent is smaller than the many larger Outwell tents, it doesn't skimp on features.
The Outwell Rockland 5P is slightly smaller than the larger Outwell Family Tents but still is crammed full of features. We think this tent is ideal for a family of four, giving Mum and Dad a little more space in the three-person bedroom. :-)
We really like the Coleman Rocky Mountain 5, it's proved to be a great tent.
