Heights vary by product. Examples from listings include: very small figures about 9.45 in; indoor tabletop pieces around 22.04–32.4 in; mid-size animatronic figures about 43 in; and large inflatables or tree figures roughly 79–96 in (about 6.5–8 ft).

Inflation times listed vary but commonly fall around 1–3 minutes (some listings say ~2 minutes or a few minutes). Deflation is usually quick: unplug the blower and open the zipper or bottom vent to release air, then fold and pack for storage.

Common anchoring methods include ground stakes, ropes, sandbags, and for some models ground hooks, cable ties, or clamps to secure the figure in place.

They can be hung or placed in many spots: roofs and eaves, trees, porches, balconies, walls, stairwells, and Christmas trees. Some units also clamp or attach to a tree or are designed to lean against a wall.

Many inflatables include a storage bag and zipper openings or instructions for easy deflation, making them straightforward to unzip, fold, and pack compactly for off-season storage.
