E-Z UP Inc. E-Z up Camping Cube 6.4 Tent Outdoor

Conforme

UPDATE- this tent is holding up beautifully. It's 2025 and I have had zero issues. I still use it 3-4 days every month to camp. I don't do winter camping, no snow, but I have been in it in 36 degrees F. It's warmer than outside but it's still a 10 by 10 foot room. I have warm gear so it's okay, but no condensation. Zippers are holding up terrific. Clips are working great. What I did not mention in my original review is my canopy. Get a canopy of good quality. I bought a Euromax canopy because I wanted something that was going to last for years. Some of the cheaper models just do not seem to that they would hold up for any length of time. The canopy I have is waterproof, UV 50, and comes with panels. I use them as a double wall in colder temps. The rain sheds off terrific and I am bone dry in monsoon thunderstorms. That is also going strong, purchased in 2023 also. And I can put I up by myself. Hope this update helps you. Original post- I purchased this tent in Royal Blue in February 2023. This is going to be some what a long review… First a note— this does NOT come with a canopy! You must buy a SEPARATE canopy! OK warning done. I live in Arizona, so I was able to start using it in April. I camp for about 3 to 4 days once a month (sometimes twice a month) just so you know how often I use it. So by now you have seen the little broken piece in my picture. This has a happy ending but more on that later. This tent is 10 x 10 and stands about 6’2/6’4 ish inside the ceiling of the “cube“. I’m 5’ 10 and I had no problem, plenty of room. I’m an older, fluffy kind of gal and you get to a point where camping in a tent is nice but your being on your knees for extended periods of time, and getting changed while kneeling is not OK. This tent is a huge 10 x 10 room. So this is how I set it up- I have a rug that is at the edge of my queen size, blowup, air mattress bed. This is all the way to one side of the tent. I can fit my camping chair and a small camping table as a nightstand and all of my gear on the other side and still have room to spare. I imagine that you could fit two queen beds, side-by-side (kind of cramped,) but it would work. I have four side panels that I put up when it’s particularly rainy/windy during monsoon season, so I cannot verify if the walls were directly wet- are they waterproof? I imagine so, they have a sunscreen type silver lining on all the inside walls, including the windows. Also retains some of the heat on the cooler nights especially that it is a 10 x 10 room. Drawback is that the ceiling in the “cube” (which is literally a box from top to bottom and side to side.) does not have this silver lining and has a vent screen directly in the middle. Kind of bummed they should’ve thought about that also. This allows center screen is for ventilation and there was no condensation inside any time I used it. The three side windows open wide, along with the door window, and air flow is amazing! I keep my tent zippered all the time. I do not like critters or flying bugs in my mouth when I sleep. But the windows are an excellent source of ventilation. On the hottest days it also allows the tent to cool very quickly. It has a bathtub the floor with a decent tarp like flooring. However, I still put a tarp underneath that to stop the rain and the dampness, and any rock puncture that my floor might encounter. Call me cautious. A decent thickness to the tent walls. Stitching is reinforced in all the corners and the corner truss areas as well. And that brings me to my picture. The small gray broken object is a truss that hangs the tent on the canopy. I was tightening the tent and it broken in half. This piece is on a very nice piece of canvas strap that I am unable to remove as it is reinforced in the corners of the “cube.” Therefore, I was very disappointed. !!! However, here’s the good news! I wrote to the E-Z UP company in regards to the warranty on this tent, (since I only had it since February,) and they were very concerned that this happened and offered a brand new tent at no charge with free shipping! It was a pleasure to work with somebody who stood behind their product. People are amazed at my camping cube and always asked to see it. In this review I probably didn’t even get into most of the features this has…. it’s pretty awesome. A few notes: Outside zip hole for an extension cord. A doggie door- I don’t have a dog so I don’t use it…although I find other reviews that people put their air-conditioning vent through that hole. I’m not quite there with AC. Rings that go around the inside edge of your tent for lighting or hanging cords or whatever. A GIANT door that unzips all the way around. One drawback with the door is that the water flaps that are around the zipper edge of the door kind of get caught in the zipper, which is a little annoying, but doable. I just use one side anyway. I’m happy to answer questions that you might have. Get out there and do some camping!

I was drawn to the idea of this tent for the amount of head/ceiling space and for its room size. I intended it to be used for usually only two adult people, as I like my space to change, and have things in my tent like a cot instead of an air mattress, an electric cooler and usb fans. I wouldn’t call it “glamping”, but definitely a nice little home away from home. It is very easy to set up once you’ve done it already and know how to apply things an where you apply them… some of it may have to be tailored a bit and guessed at depending on the variations of your easy-up (mine was actually Best Choice Products - bought on Amazon the previous year, which is also very nice!). The take-down is even easier… other than having to use my broom to knock the colony of daddy-long-legs off of it, it’s just unhooking, an letting it fall to the ground… once it’s down, it’s in a perfect square, making it super easy to fold then roll. The quality of the zippers and materials were pretty excellent… I really appreciated having the attachment loops all around the edges inside. My only issue/complaint was the door… the door is awesome in the sense of its strength and option to keep completely open, but I live near bugs and needed to keep the screen closed. The way the zipper line protectors were designed, combined with the sewing and the strength of the zipper… made it very difficult to open and close the door, every time. I might also suggest to the brand to add more attachment hooks along the edge outside to create more stability for hanging things that might hold a little bit of weight on the inside. But other than that, this tent had everything I could have needed and more. But now I need to get another easy up so I can have a canopy porch area in-front of my easy up tent! All in all, pretty close to perfection for what I had in mind and wanted.

This camping cube is awesome. There are a lot of reasons why, but let me start with the best reason: It is so, so much easier and faster to set up and take down when compared to traditional tents, even those that are "fast-pitch". Between the canopy and tent cube itself, it took maybe 4-5 min with 2 people. Even by myself, I could set up within 8-10 minutes. Takedown was just as fast. Pro tip: Leave a couple of windows open so air can easily escape when folding/rolling/packing. It'll fit in the bag better. The seams are well done and the stitching appears to be reinforced. I'm not worried about the straps and clips ripping off in wind. Additionally, there are several points to secure the cube to the canopy frame. The flooring is has decent thickness and I am not worried about punctures. Of course, I also make sure the ground is clear of rocks/debris and I use a tarp underneath. The room inside is fantastic. Even with a Queen air mattress, there was plenty of room to walk around and store out bags. And (and this is an awesome point) you can stand up everywhere in this cube. No more hunching over because of slanted tent walls! The only real criticism I have is the door zipper. It can get hung on the fabric sometimes or be a little stiff. I am going to apply some "Bestop Zipper Lubricant" and see if that helps. I am using this with a "SunniMax10x10 Pop Up Canopy Tent" with 0 issues. The wife loved the space and ease of use. I plan on trying it with a 10x20 canopy I also have and will update when I do. Overall, this is a fantastic option for a tent (as long as you have a canopy of course). This is now our go-to for camping.

I was looking for new tent when I ran across this "tent in a tent". We already owned an EZ-Up 10'X10' (straight leg), so I was willing to give it a try. Set-Up/Take Down - Getting the canopy (not included) set up is a lot easier with two (2) people. Don't stake the legs of the canopy down until the cube tent is attached to the canopy; as you may need to adjust the legs a bit. Setting up the cube tent within the canopy is easy with one person. There are four (4) clips in the center of the ceiling that attach to the frame near the center post of the frame. Two (2) of the clip straps are longer than the other two (2), so they don't seem to provide any support - so that is kind of hinky. It would be nice to have the front corners color coded so that it would be easier to know where the door is when "layed-out". The rest of the set up is quick and straight forward. Take down is even easier. Use - The ceiling of ours (red/white outside) is blue (like the sky). It reminds me of the traditional blue ceilings of covered porches of older homes in the South. It is nice to wake up to a "blue sky", regardless as to the weather outside. There is a center clip for a light that is closely supported by the center post, so it is nice to be able to put a light in the center without any sagging. I noticed that this tent was remarkably cooler than other tents that I own. We recently camped for eleven (11) days in Oshkosh, WI. We set up an "annex tent" for storage of kitchen supplies, "closet"/dressing room", garage for ebikes, etc.. There was a dramatic difference in interior temperature between the two (2) tents. And we've set up this gold colored tent (Euraka!) side by side with a large blue colored Coleman tent, and the Euraka! was noticeably cooler than the Coleman. I suspect that the white color of the canopy, and the large air space between the cube tent ceiling and the canopy helps reduce temperatures. And the interior walls of the cube tent are silver colored, which may help. This factor alone makes this tent system a top choice. The windows are very large and let in lots of light and air when open; and the zippers operate smoothly. There is a huge double door in the front, that can be fully opened like a window (ie screened) for air/light. The zippers work well, although the only "sticking point" is that the zipper rain flap can interfere with the zipper in the lower/outside corners of the door(s). The electrical inlet port (back wall, left side) was a nice feature and worked well. We did use a generator (outside) and a "battery bank" (inside). Even during a heavy rain of about 30 minutes, with lighter rain for about an hour, no water entered the inlet port. We didn't use the "dog door" (right wall, near front), but it would have to be a fairly small dog, and I don't think I'd let my dog go wandering in/out in most camping places. But, the dog door might be very good as a port for a free-standing air-conditioner. Of course the floor space is pretty obvious, it is very close to 10'x10', or 100 ft^2 - but actually a smidge smaller (probably 9.5'x9.5' (90 ft^2). We had a queen sized coleman bed, and some Walmart TV tables as night stands. There was plenty of room for the "battery bank" and to be able to walk around the bed with storage under the bed and corners of the tent. The straight vertical walls enabled us to use all of the floor space, conventional tents (sloped walls) probably reduce "floor space" by 20%, so this is a nice feature. As I recall, the legs needed to be "two (2) clicks up" to get full wall height. My wife and I are both under 6' tall, and we had no problem with headroom while inside the tent. Taller folks may be close to the ceiling - as the wall height doesn't allow for full extension of the legs, and although it wasn't a problem for us, it probably should be designed to allow full, or nearly full, extension of the legs of the canopy. Down Sides - (1) This is a relatively expensive tent, even of you already own the canopy. (2) Weight - The cube tent itself is pretty reasonable, but the canopy is fairly heavy, so you aren't going to be "packing it into the wilderness very far". (3) Packed Size - Again, the tent itself is pretty compact for a 10'X10' "full height" tent, but the canopy is going to take up quite a bit of room in transportation/storage. (4) Rain - If your canopy isn't completely water tight (ours is 10+ years old) there is going to be some water collection on the ceiling. We had some fairly heavy (short duration) rain and some longer duration moderate rain. And some water collected on the ceiling. A small amount of water dripped into the inside, so the ceiling isn't completely water proof (which would be a nice feature). We lowered the corners where the rain collected and allowed the water to drain off, this solved our problem but lowered the ceiling a bit and made the walls sag a bit. We never had a problem with water entering the walls, windows, doors or the electrical/dog ports.
