Yes it’s that simple, insert battery, push button and it self inflates.

What’s not simple - the size guide is complete BS. They claim the 6 person tent can accommodate 2 queen mattress plus space for gear. Yeah right.

You could squeeze one 80” long queen sized air mattress in if you tried hard enough, might stress or damage the seams.

I would not use air mattress longer than 75”. The 6 person tent can accommodate one full size + one twin sized air mattress with room to spare for gear.

If you want to fit 2 queen you need to get the 10 person sized tent.

Lightweight construction, probably 3 season tent. I would not use this in snow or heavy rain. The air filled columns are surprisingly strong and you can hang a lamp from ceiling hook.

Take down is simple, open 2 air valves, fold, squeeze air out, back into the bag.

You could use manual air pump but the built in battery powered one works great. Removable battery & you can order spares. Charge via USB.

Extra tent pitch hooks in bag. Do use the pitch hooks as wind will blow air tent away.

I recently got this one which seems similar (but has a manual pump)
 
My low tech tent is peppered with tiny holes where floating embers from the nearby campfire landed on it after the wind shifted a bit. How would an inflatable tent handle that?

Can't say how many nights I've spent in a 1-person pup tent (nylon coffin) while camping with the Boy Scouts, yet here I am with a 35' toy hauler with AC, water heater and shower, all to entice my wife to get down with the camping (OK, glamping) life, but to no avail. She's just not into it.
 
There are 4 air columns at each corner with protective sleeve, but the tent itself is not resistant to embers.

They sell air tents with stove opening and I think those have better fire resistant material. But those inflatable hot tents will cost several thousand dollars.

We have a 39' motorhome with all of the glamping comforts, but I'm back to sleeping in a tent because my daughter joined Cub Scouts. :ROFLMAO:

This inflatable tent looks really convenient, but it would kind of defeat the purpose of teaching the kids outdoor survival skills like how to set up a tent.
 
It's a tradeoff. For just a couple days out a big camper is not worth the effort and stress required to get there and back. I've never had to change the sheets on a sleeping bag or vacuum a tent. Backing a large trailer down a driveway in a residential neighborhood is a skill I'm developing but have not yet mastered; the trailer and tow vehicle are a fair bit longer than the street is wide! Bigger not always better, just like houses.
