They are quite big when folded into their carrying bags (not thick, but wide diameter) so not as easy to store and transport as a conventional small tent. But that's just my opinion and doesn't really relate to their performance.
Some friends of mine have the 2 second Quecha and they used it for the first time in May. It certainly went up as quick as it says and was a lot roomier inside than I thought.
It rained a LOT on the 2nd day and there were no leaks.
I have a quechua T4 and most of my camping mates have various Quechua tents as we have a big decathlon near us. Im not much of an expert on other brands but these tents are bang on. Very reasonably priced and very good quality. We have used ours in some pretty rough weather with no problems at all.

My mate bought the T6.2 and we put it up in our garden last week, its a roomy tent and pretty easy to erect. Quechua tents are ace, and the 2 second tents are bigger than i thought, great pieces of camping equipment, they get from me.
I bought the T4.2 at a very reasonable £59 as a spare tent after our outing to whitby that broke the ridge pole from our colman sahara 8 !! And so were not grounded in a one man emergency tent I bought this one.
Glad everyone is happy with there Quechua and I dont know why im worring about the hh 1500, as we were 3miles up the rad from Boscastle in the floods in a 9 man dome HH1500 and it was great lol (scared the life out of me mind)
Thanks so much for your replies
Happy Camping and keep safe

We've got a 3 man 2 seconds xl and I love it, we've taken it camping in all weathers and find it really sturdy in storms, warm in colder months, was minus 4 one time, and big enough for a comfy 3 night stay. We've also brought the 2 seconds base so we can climb from our tent in the morning in to a larger living area. The base is amazing, so easy to put up and gives you shelter in all weathers.
It's so great to be able to put a tent up in a few minutes. We'll be taking ours to some festivals this year as well as site camping. They are larger in diameter but they are so light and so easy to carry, even though you do look like a teenage mutant ninger turtle.
The only thing I'd say is that some people can't get the hang of putting them away, we managed to find a couple of free tents at V festival last year as people just left them if they couldn't put them away.
