Great product, great price
Used it for 2 road trips with a 10 foot 5 in SUP on top of my 2002 Honda Accord. Easy to install (I am petite female and it took me less then 15 min to inflate and attach) and held the board securely.Both road trips took a little longer as I had to decrease my speed on the highway Basically, I couldn't go near the 70 mph limit without some lift occurring on the front and the lift did result in a stop or 2 to make sure board was sufficiently secure so I stayed right 55-60mph. If I have another longer trip that involves highway driving I will try and anchor the front (like a kayak) to see if that helps. Either way, I would recommend adjusting travel time accordingly. It could have been a result of me being overly cautious but a trip that normally takes 2.5 hours took about 3.The rack itself never deflated (even when stored in the trunk) and the anchor straps held very well. I didn't experience any rain but I have another pass through topper and did have a little water come in to the car when I used that product. I would suggest having a few small towels just in case. Fear of rain/water is no reason to pass on this product.The rack is definitely perfect for 'around town', no issues whatsoever. I kept it inflated and placed in the trunk for easy access however, it rolls up quite nicely and actually fits back in the bag that comes in.Just for clarity sake, the product comes not only with the pump and bumper/racks but also with the strap to secure the objects that you want to transfer- no need to buy additional straps.

Works Great
I recently had to get a roof rack for my vehicle to transport my stand up paddle board. I started looking into hard mounted racks, but was scared off by the price. I'm only going to be transporting the SUP a couple of times a month, so I wanted to go with an option that was a bit less expensive if I could find one that would work.I did a LOT of searching, and I ended up finding some posts on a message board about the HandiRack, and what sold me was a surf shop owner in California mentioned that he won't let an SUP go on a roof without a HandiRack.I ordered one and it came very quickly, like all products from Amazon do. I took it out and test fitted it on the car and found that it went on easily. The included instructions were well written and easy to understand. The rack got on and seemed pretty planted, so I took it all down and waited for the first nice day I had a chance to SUP here in Michigan.I've since used the rack a couple of times, and so far have been EXTREMELY impressed with it. It took me a few times to get the feel of WHERE I should mount the board on the rack, but that's because I'm new to this and it really has nothing to do with the rack itself.The rack holds the board without letting it slip, is quiet, and is easy to set up and take apart in just a few minutes. I've had absolutely zero issues with the rack at all. I like how small it rolls up to stow in the trunk.I will make one note. I am NOT using the straps that came with the rack. I had already purchased some very heavy duty straps from Dakine to use on my old car that HAD a hard roof rack installed already. So those straps were still laying around, and I am using those to hold the board to the rack. I am, however, using the straps that came with the rack to use to hold the board from the front. Basically, I looped them around a tow hook on the front of the car and then around the leash mount on the board to help with any backwards sliding.Overall, I'm really impressed with the rack. For the price, I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything better.

Used rack to carry my 2 windsurf boards
I recently bought the Malone HandiRack inflatable roofrack. I opted over a permanent roofrack basically because there are no Thule or Yakima racks that will fit my Saturn car. So I thought I'd give this one a shot, plus I also thought that if I ever needed to carry something on my wife's car (or for that matter, my friend's or parent's car), I could easily use this rack as well. Plus given that roofracks create drag, then your gas mileage can go down, so I thought it would be another plus, that I can remove the rack easily.So I used the rack 2 weekends ago to carry my 2 windsurf boards to Cape Hatteras. The rack was easy to inflate and relatively easy to attach to the roof. Given that it was my first time doing it, and I read the directions carefully, so I'd say it took me about 20 minutes. However, next time I have to attach it my roof, it should go a lot quicker and will probably take me only 5 minutes. After my trip, I left the rack inflated in my garage so that I don't have to inflate it again the next time.The only drawback I saw with the rack was also mentioned in another Amazon review, and also in the Roof-rack instructions, and it is the issue with water seeping into the car if it rains. While in Cape Hatteras, I left the rack attached, and one night it rained really hard the whole night. The next morning water had seeped in and the car seats were wet. Not all seats were equally wet. One of the seats was wetter than the others because of the way I had attached the rack on that door. I left too much of the protective fabric going over the door seal. The instructions did mention that the rain problem can be avoided if you fold back the fabric so that it doesn't go over the door seal. The other seats where the fabric was folded back were no as wet. Anyways, if you want to avoid the rain issue, either fold back the fabric, or simply disconnect the rack overnight.The rain problem mentioned doesn't seem to be an issue when you're driving. On the way back home it started raining hard while we were driving, but no water seeped in because I had folded back the fabric and also because the forward motion of the car keeps the water from going straight down through the door seal. We did get 1 or 2 drops, but it wasn't a big issue, we just dried the drops as we saw them appearing.As far as carrying my 2 windsurf boards, the rack did fine and I have no complaints. We drove for about 5 hours, at a maximum speed of 75 miles-per-hour on certain highways. The inflatable tubes appear very durable and seem like they can carry a lot more weight than I put on there. The instructions say you can carry up to 180kg (I think that's about 360 lbs).So if you have no other option for a roof rack because no company makes one that fits your car, or you only use roof racks once in a while, or if you like the fact that you can transfer the rack to any car, or if you like the look of your car without any roof rack on top, or if you'd like to keep your gas mileage down,...... then I'd say this is a good buy.
