Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 27-inch (17001) compare to the 16-inch (16001) inflatable globe? The 17001 is 69% larger in diameter than the 16-inch 16001, providing dramatically more surface area and visibility. It is best suited for large group presentations and auditorium-scale demonstrations where the 16-inch model may not be visible from the back of the room.

How do I inflate the globe? Due to its large size, a balloon pump or electric air pump is recommended for efficient inflation. The globe can also be inflated by mouth, though this will take considerably more effort than smaller models.

Is the globe durable enough for repeated use? Yes — the Replogle 17001 is constructed from durable inflatable material designed for repeated inflation and regular use. As with all inflatable products, keep sharp objects away to prevent punctures.
