Promising review: "It is MUCH bigger than I thought it was going to be and takes up over half of the small deck we have that goes right up to our pool, but my son loves it. We have had it for about a month, and it is still inflated on the deck since the day we blew it up for his birthday party. He has used it a few times in that month, and I have not had to put more air in it, would probably need to if he were to use it this weekend. Has held up well against several 10- and 11-year-old boys!" —Jessy

Promising review: "LOVE this waterslide! Kids aged 3, 5, and 7 spend about an hour a day on it. We have had it for about three months now and have completely neglected to clean it or take care of it in any way, and it is still working great with no leaks. The water comes out in three places: over each slide at the top of the bouncer, and into a bucket that periodically dumps out on people climbing to the top, then it all empties into the pool, which is maybe 10 inches deep when it is full. There is an air blower included that is similar to other bounce house air blowers that we attach to an extension cord away from where the water is draining. This needs to be on a flat surface that is fairly soft, like grass. I would not put this on concrete because the slides end on the floor of the pool, which is just a piece of plastic. The whole thing inflates in about 30 seconds. There is netting on the back at the top of the slides to keep the kids from falling off the back." —stella bella

Promising review: "We’ve had this water slide for three years and it’s been awesome. Our kids (ages 3 and 6) have loved it every year, and it still looks as good as it did when we bought it. Would highly recommend." —Josh

Promising review: "Worth every penny! Even the dog likes it. We have a super small backyard, and this is the perfect size. This was super easy to set up. Takes less than 10 minutes. No leaking. I turned the water on max, which was too strong for the sprayers, so keeping it low helped. My 3-year-old loves it. It’s been keeping her busy all morning,g and now she won’t get out." —Kristina

Promising review: "So much fun! Sets up instantly! You do have to leave the blower going to keep it aired up. Love that it is included! My 14-month-old loves this thing! I would say it is the perfect size for ages 1–4." —Kellie

The slide comes with a pump to inflate it, stakes, and repair patches.

Promising review: "This slide was truly the MVP of our summer with a 1-year-old and 3-year-old. Our 3-year-old loves the slide and squirt gun, and 1 year 1-year-old uses it as a baby pool. It takes about 20 minutes to set up and we leave it out all weekend if there isn’t any forecasted bad weather. It also held up through a birthday party with 20+ kids ranging in age from 1 to 10 (plus a few adults trying out the slide!)." —Megan O.

Promising review: "I bought this for the grandkids’ visit for the July 4th holiday. Before they arrived, I tried it out. I’m 6’2” and was able to lie comfortably in this pool. Then my wife joined me in the pool and there was sufficient space for both of us. The kids loved it too. Easy to assemble and disassemble. Make sure to let it dry out thoroughly before storing it to prevent mold. We set it up and took it down six times this summer and it seems like it will be good-to-go for another season. Highly recommended!" —Shak

Promising review: "Bought this to use when we had family in from out of town. Five kids ages 2–9 had a ball with it. Literally kept them entertained for hours. Our yard is all slope, so it would be better on a flatter surface (the pool part never filled up because of being on a slope, but no complaints from kids about it). We didn't use the sprayer at the top of the slide because we had kids who don't like water in their faces. Sprayed the slide with the hose every once in a while and it was plenty slick. Overall great purchase!" —A. Hillen

Promising review: "We love the slide! I have a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, and this was perfect. We read in one of the reviews that the slide was not very fast, which is very true, but what helped is putting a little Dawn dish soap on the slide. Worked perfectly! Kids had a blast." —LB

Promising review: "I was so skeptical, but I’m glad I purchased this for the kids. It held up to two 8-year-olds, a 9-year-old, a toddler, and an adult with no issues whatsoever. My husband was able to set it up in less than 20 minutes. The quality is great for the price, it really didn’t disappoint, and we plan to purchase more from this brand in the future." —Ashley

This slide comes with a blower, two blower stakes, eight water park stakes, four repair patches, one hose assembly kit, two basketballs, and a carrying bag.

Promising review: "The grandkids and my nieces loved it. A fun time for the kids ages 5 to 9. Holds water well, loved the mini pool. Easy set up and good quality. Great price. Looking for a larger one to purchase for the adults! Easy to inflate and bright colors. Bag included for storage, a plus!" —Bridget Frederick

Promising review: "Omg I just love this!!!! One person can literally set up by themselves. It’s been holding up great, so the material is very good! All of my family and friends ask where I got it. I wish I had bought it sooner! The bag it comes with does not fit the bounce house, though, haha, I bought a larger Christmas tree bag to put it in. The value I bought it for was great! I've had kids in it that were in it from age 3 to 14 years old." —Harmony

Promising review: "Yes, we love it. Hours were spent on it last summer and I would repurchase it again and again. Screen-free summers! Be mindful, this is VERY cumbersome and heavy. Still worth it in my opinion." —Fendi
