4 Reviews of the Saturn 6

Not that bad at all. We've had this for a couple of years now and only really used it in anger twice, only for a weekend at a time.

Pitches very quickly, bagged to guyed out in less than 20 mins. Again, bag could be a bit bigger, but employ a wife/collection of small children to stand on everything while you zip it up and everything is fine.

For the money you can't argue too much, there are a couple of things that I'd like to see to improve it, being able to hold the window flaps open half way rather than all or nothing. Electric hook up entry would be nice and a couple of hanging points in the main area for a light wouldn't go amiss.

All said and done though, it's a decent tent. Even the wife nearly enjoys camping now, so it can't be that bad!

We found after the first use of this tent that you need the canopy add-on to cope with rainy periods, otherwise the interior will get wet as you use the entrance. Apart from that great. Sewn in groundsheet a big advantage. Plenty of room but the storage bag could do with being a little larger instead of having to play the quart in to a pint pot game when packing up. An opening for electric cable would also be useful but not essential Altogether a good buy seeing as we got ours via Argos Outlet for less than ÂŁ100

Trying again to post so here goes. It was a toss up between this and the Ottowa 6 and this baby won. Lucky tent :-). Anyway, was in Kilbroney Forest last weekend and as a test run it was great, Saturday was beautiful and by nightfall we had the rest of the seasons. Tent stood up to the battering very well, in fact it barely moved at all. Discovered also that it is completely waterproof which is handy. Would have gave it a 10/10 only for the fact there is no entry point for electricity and also the bedrooms cannot be divided. Honestly, very happy with purchase. Adventures now planned for every other weekend. 3y/o daughter is over the moon, better half NOT :-). She will come around.

As a previous owner of Vango tents I was bit suspicious specially because so cheap in sale but I must admit lives up to its name. I spent 3 nights in north Wales last week with my husband and 3 small children and 2 big dogs, and still plenty room for stove kitchen stand bags chairs table etc. Living area huge, bedrooms could easy fit 4 in each even though stated 6 man. The height is well over 6 ft as hubby 6.3 and didn't have crouch. Fully sewn in groundsheets. Says up in 45 mins, me and hubby had up in 20 mins, only 5 poles and we're no experts.

Only thing I could say is about the windows of the bedrooms - there's zips down the sides so that's great but a small velcro piece at bottom which when the wind hit it on very windy nights came unstuck, although still the sides remained zipped down. That's the only criticism.

Well worth full price Ł300 never mind a bargain at Ł119 at Argos and you got free canopy porch thing which was meant be Ł150. You can even buy a carpet for Ł50. Its brilliant well done Argos and well done Gelert
