Hit with Kids Hours of fun!
So will try to lay out this review to help others leverage what I’ve learned thus far. With regards to setup and breakdown.SetupWasn’t very hard things that helped me were as follows.- Laying out a tarp not only to help with grass but to help prevent punctures in lining and water control-Don’t bother trying to run hose line that moves water to sprayers inflate first and then attach lines way easier just used step ladder for top attachment-As level ground as possible with slight slop on front edge pool side makes for easier draining-Unless you’re going directly to outlet do yourself a favor and by a corded roll up power station lowes had it for $70 it’s work both for safety and ease of rolling line out and up when done-Keep air line from blower as straight as possible as to not limit creating back pressure which is not great for motors-I place lawn chair over my blower to create some shade not that you have too but heat and electronics almost never mix in my opinion-When inflating make sure you tie off exhaust port as the blower will inflate even open but will not be as firm which through me off.-Once water is in it don’t pull or tug as this will rip seams for sure. Not that I experienced with its product but happened with kiddy pool.-Place hose on small slide when filling and let water fill in from high to main pool area.-Do not fill all the way to line I start off with just enough water about ankle deep as the constant water on for slides will fill pool overtime and you will end up just wasting water having to prematurely emptying it.-I have not needed to use any of the stakes provided don’t like the placement of the tie downs as they’re really close to inflating points so unless you go all the way in the ground and make a rubbing contact which could cause wear and leakBreak down-I waste not want not so I use 5 gallon pail and scoop 50-100 gallons worth of water into my gorilla cart and place it on my front lawn lol.-After getting bored and or tired of that turn the blower off but leave the exhaust tie on closed to let it deplete slow the front corner of the pool which is furthest point from blower goes down first which is you have it at slight angle will drain most water out. What is left over you can swipe out with feet. Drain plug in my opinion is useless as it’s 6 feet to the left of this point.-What little water is left us a cup and just toss out to empty-Turn blower back on and inflate using 4 milk crates raise unit at each corner off of the tarp and you can clear out water as best you can near edges-I have shop fan and being that I have that corded 4 outlet junction let the fan blow under the raise unit for 30 mins to dry out-Using two people turn the blower off and detach main hose line from blower and move the unit quickly off to the side in dry area- Turn your tarp over and let dry a little- open additional exhaust port on unit to let air out-Place deflated unit in tarp-Warp up and either carry or in my card move with gorilla cart I could keep it out side in tarp but I like by grass more lol.This is not the letter of the law however these are steps that to me help maximize the fun with out a bunch of down repair time. Have fun and enjoyable summer! Thus far it’s been a huge hit with my kid and those in neighborhood.

Lasted 3 years
This thing lasted us 3 years. Which makes it the longest inflatable that’s ever survived all my kids and nephews and nieces. It finally got a tear and now we are going to order a new one from this store. Long live the water slide!

A blast for kids
This slide was a gift for my daughters birthday. It has been a huge source of summer fun and the whole neighborhood has enjoyed it. My two children, 7 and 3, love it. The older kids enjoy it too and the adults have even had fun sliding. Just remember to thoroughly clean it after each use and you should find it to be incredibly enjoyable!

Arrived in box but was defective - no assistance
We ordered the slide for a birthday gift for my grandson. We opened it the morning of his party to set it up and learned that one whole side of the slide wasn't bonded/sown (not sure the correct verbiage). You could see where it was stitched bit it completed missed the mark on attaching to the opposite side. It was an obvious manufacture defect. Party kinda tanked but okay. After pictures and what felt like an FBI interrogation I was told they would "as a courtesy" have a UPS pick up scheduled and "AFTER INSPECTION" give me a refund (minus a restocking fee) - Ummm, can't restock this guys? And I just wanted the unit replaced but that wasn't an option. Well over a month post pickup and still no refund/replacement/resolution.**Update** Amazon did make it right. It was the full 30 days and when I reached out they issued the refund.

Kids enjoy it.
This is probably the 3rd inflatable, portable setup we’ve purchased…kids always have a blast, wish there was a way to easily suck out all of the air when it was time to store them…as it is, if you want it to last for several seasons, you have to plan ahead when taking it down, give it time to dry completely, roll and try to stuff it back in the storage container provided. I’m never pleased with the way the water attaches to the shooting arms, never seem to be able to place the Velcro so that the water goes where you intend it to…kids don’t care, they tend to try and wet anyone or thing in their path. Hoping it last for a few seasons without punctures.

Best slide ever
It’s the best slide I ever bought for my grandkids.

Hours of playtime
So much fun! It’s incredibly easy to inflate. You’ll need a taller person or a ladder to help attach the sprayer at the top. The waterslide is even more durable than I was expecting. We’ve had up to six kids (ages 3-7) playing at the same time. It was very sturdy and the kids loved it! A great purchase.

Summer pool
My son stood on the platform and it exploded. He was not injured but I expected to use this for at least three years or more. I don't know why it popped but I sure did love it while it lasted. It was fun and kept the kids moving around all summer. Lastly, I love the size of the slide and splash area. We have three little ones and had room for three more friends.
