good times

My 16-month old loves the slide. Shallow depth is great for tots. Need air mattress pump to blow this up. Pleased with my purchase.

Warning! Don't Buy!

I'd give this pool zero stars if it were possible. My kids were given this as a gift and not given a receipt. The pool stairs didn't hold air for more than ten minutes and within an hour the pool lost all of its air. On the box there is a red stop sign saying do not return to the store, call the manufacturer with problems. I called and the guy I talked to was first of all, extremely rude, and his solution? Return it to the store! When I indicated it was a gift and didn't have a receipt he told me he could not help me. I asked to speak to a manager and he said he had to take my number and have the manager call me back. Of course I never heard from the manager. Horrible company to deal with and horrible, flimsy, small, cheap pool. Don't waste your time or money.
Not as big as it seems 2008-07-17
I bought this pool because it seemed larger than some of the other inflatable pools (given its listed dimensions). However, while it may be 74" long, half of that distance is filled up by the slide, leaving only about 2-3 feet of play room in the pool. It also may be 74" wide at its widest point, but again, this is only for the last 2-3 feet of space after they go down the slide. It's not a round pool.
The only redeeming quality is the slide, which has a decent step to climb up and is more secure than slides like the "Safari Falls Pool" which we had before this one.
Dreadful 2008-07-17
Lucky for me to have a compressor to blow up this slide and pool. If I had had to manually inflate this sucker, only to have three of the six or seven individual chambers immediately deflate, I might have popped. As it is, what more should I expect from such a low-priced (cheap) item? You get what you pay for.
Good for two or three toddlers! 
2008-07-13
I got this for my toddlers (18 months and 3 years), and they love it.
Size:
It's perfect for two or three kids, I would say up to four years of age the most. I had to inflate it myself, and it wasn't too bad. Really the part that took the longest was the center part of the slide.
Quality:
I have two generally gentle girls, so it doesn't take big beatings. However they love to seat on the side and bounce, and so far after about a month of almost everyday use it's still good as new.
I bought it thinking that for $20 it'd probably not last the summer, but now I think it will. I think that if we don't use it next year it'll be because it might be too small for them then.
I haven't used the attchment for the hose, so I can't comment on how well it works. I wet the slide and the kids go right down, no problem.
The slide attaches to the bottom part with two ropes. It came with two little pieces that were barely long enough to do the job, so I got a couple shoe laces and it takes half the time to set it up now.
To sum up, a good buy.
good product 2008-07-09
The pool is what I expected. It is large enough for our 26 month boy to move around in. I don't know about the slide as he has not tried it yet, but it appears to be reasonably sturdy for a blow-up slide. The fountain feature is fun and keeps him occupied. It was worth the price we paid for it.
Nice but smaller than they lead you to believe 2008-07-06
Nice pool for the price but like others have said it is definitely smaller than the photo on the box. I have uploaded some photos that give a better indication of the size. Just be aware of the size issue! My 1.5 year old likes it reasonably well. I think it would be good for smaller children (maybe up to 6?) with parental supervision but not for older children even though it says "3 and up".
Hooking the hose up for the spray doesn't work very well due to leaking, I suspect that is because we have no washer in there. I'm not sure if it came with one or not because it may have been accidentally thrown away with other material that was accidentally thrown away... but I think it definitely needs a washer. Also, it could be more durable (heavier plastic) but for the price I can't complain too much. It does come with one repair patch. If it lasts one summer then I think I got my money's worth.
Quite a Catch!!! 2008-06-30
After reading the various reviews here I had no idea whether or not to proceed with the purchase of this pool for my two year old daughter. Finally I decided to take a chance and hope for the best realizing all along that, folks, inflatable pools are not meant to last more than a swimming season. That is definitely reflected in the cost of the pool. Another concern I had though was about how many children would be able to play in the pool at a given time because we were planning to use this pool at my daughter's birthday party where there would be several five year old brothers as well. Well, long story short....this pool was absolutely perfect. Both of my kiddos (ages 2 and 5) were able to play in the pool at the same time. Now granted neither have room to do laps, but their idea of fun in a pool such as this is to slide and splash and get wet. Even if the box's picture is misleading on size, don't let that seal the deal on your purchase because this really is a great little pool for the money. Keep in mind that this is not a "swimming" pool so much as it is a slide and splash pool. At one time there were four little girls from 6 months up to 4 years playing happily in this pool at our party. Occasionally a couple of five year olds would throw themselves down the slide making for splashes and screams and yet there was no fussing...just squeals and smiles. Y'all don't judge a book by its cover and miss out on some good backyard summer fun in this pool. As long as you keep your expectations realistically based, you and your kids won't be disappointed! I am definitley glad I gave it a chance!!!
whale pool 2008-06-30
It is a great toy for a 1-2 year old not older. It is not stable enough for more active 4-5 year olds.
