bought 5 I think I finally found that will last read me
Hello fello waterslide buyers..I have bought one or exchanged a water slide every year for the last 4 years..finally tired decided to order one on amazon. I will have to say this one I think will finally be my last buy. I have every kid in the neighborhood from 5-13 playing on this everyday. ONLY 2 days new though alot could happen. But I believe this is gonna be the one to last a few seasons. The kids really love it and I love sitting in the pool area with them and directing traffic. Grap a kid and play together. I will keep everyone updated throughout the year to let them if it last keep looking for me. Lizzle

the pictures make it look bigger than it is
The kids love it.
when i opened the box i was nervous cuz it looked complicated, but it was really fairly simple, just attach the hosing to the slide, attach the airpump and water source and then the hard part was nailing the pegs into the ground to anchor it the ground.
It does actually blow up in 3 minutes, but there's other work to be done in order for it to be ready to use.
another thing is that the blower must remain on for it to remain inflated or it will deflate in 5 minutes. So you cannot keep the water in the pool from one day to the next unless u keep the blower on 24/7... I'll let u know when i disassemble it how that went..

Great entertainment for the kids!
I purchased this product in June for my two girls, ages 4 and 7. So far, we have used it several times with other neighbors and friends and it has held up great.
It was a little difficult to get together the first time, but once it was set up it is easy to re-assemble for the next uses. It has a tube that goes around the whole slide and this tube is a little difficult to work with. We leave the tubes on before putting it away, making it easier everytime we put it back up. You just have to re-adjust the tubes because the water gets stuck in them.
This product is very heavy, but even Mom can manage to pull it out onto the lawn and set it up. As for putting it away, the other reviews are written correctly. It will NEVER get back in the bag that is given with the product, or even the box for that matter. We manage to slide it from the grass onto our patio, and that is about it for the summer until we put it away entirely for the winter time.
The drying process is fairly easy. If you deflate it, most of the water will drain out on it's own and then with a few quick swifts you can get the remainder of the water out. Re-inflate and let dry for about 1/2 hr in the sun.
I am amazed at how well the product has held up as my 7 yr old can be fairly rough. If it holds up for the remainder of this summer, I feel I have gotten my monies worth from this slide. The kids love and ask to use it all of the time. They will play on it for a minimum of two hours everytime we use it!
I would recommend highly for hours of fun for kids at any age. I have had children from age 3 up to 11 on this and they all love it.

Good slide, lots of fun, customer service TBD
We bought this slide in early June and have had it out quite a few times since then, to the great enjoyment of my daughter and her friends. We were a little hesitant based on the reviews, but we're glad we went ahead with it now. We had one minor problem the first time we had the slide out, which was that a piece (about 2 inches) of a side seam wasn't sewn together properly when it was put together. However, we were able to easily sew that up with a needle and a piece of dental floss (something that was strong and wouldn't easily deteriorate).
We think the key to keeping this slide in good shape is to dry it thoroughly after every use. It takes some time for sure, but it's worth it to make it last. After playing with it for the day, we let the water out (there could be an easier way to do that) and then towel dry the pool, two slides, and ladder wall. We then let it air dry with the blower on for about an hour or so. We then tip it up on it's end (the tower end) for another two hours with the blower on to let any water that has seeped inside fall to the edges and to let the bottom dry. Depending on how dry it got, we'll then either put it waway or deflate it and let the sun bake it a little longer. I agree with one other reviewer that it takes at least a day or two to properly dry this thing.
I would not recommend purchasing this slide and expecting it to last if you're not willing to work at it. Generally, you get out of something what you put into it and that is true here as well.

This is cool!
This appears to be very durable, and of the same material as the high dollar fun jumps. I set it up for a birthday party and over a dozen kids broke it in, and then some. It stood up well to the abuse of hours of swimming by the kids. My only critisim of the product is that once you turn it off you loose all the water that you put into over the course of the use for that day. So be prepared to have a higher water bill due to that. So if your in an area with drought restrictions you could get into trouble using this product because of the constant use of water from the hose. It would have been better to have a permanently blown up lower section to retain the water and a recirculation pump to supply water to the slide and the water cannons. It doesn't though, and you have to run it off the hose each time. Other than that the kids love it, and have used it just about every day since purchasing it.
