This slide looks like it could be alot of fun, however, it is not as strong as the way they used to make them. Our children could not slide all the way to the end and sometimes not as far as the water dump. Also, if you do not have a good strong water supply, the water will not push from the side to keep the slide wet. We stood over it and held a constant spray on it by hand. We even tried baby oil to make it slippery. Finally, we put it down a slight bank (not suggested by the manufacturer) and held a spray on it and things went well, but that too became old. It eventually ripped and we threw it away the 2nd day we owned it...

Don't bother with the big inflatable tunnel - I blew it up, and the kids found it to be more of a hinderance to the slide than part of the fun. They ended up turning it upside-down and using it as a place to sit when they got tired. It's not attached to anything and gets knocked out of the way too easy. That said, if you toss the tunnel, the rest of the slide is a blast. (If they offered a cheaper slide, tunnel-free I'd recommend it but no such thing appears to exist.) The blow-up end of the slide makes a mini-swimming-pool at the bottom and the hose-sides squirt up big (fun!) if you stomp on them....

boy this water slide is the best! it gets you drenched in water if you have a lot of water pressure that is... but the tunner is nice to sit under if your tired and want to rest I have been using this everyday ever since it has been 90 degress out (which has been 2 weeks now) I really love this slide. I would recomend anyone who likes to get cooled off this slide it it the BEST!

We have all ways wanted a slipe n' slide forever. Now we finally do! For me, it toke about only 5 minutes to blow up, and I'm only 12! Me and me sister always go on it. It is so fun. The only bad thing about it is that it some times deflates. Then we have to blow it back up a little bit. It dosn't take that long. This toy is totally worth it!

I bought this slide in hopes the kids will enjoy it. The slide already came with holes. Even though it came with two patches to fix the holes,it had at least five holes when I opened the slide.It took an hour to assemble when to find out all the functions didn't work. This toy is way overpriced, It should be improved by being more durable.
Will never buy again

My kids love this toy, but it takes a while to blow up.
It gets dirt on it too.The big tunnel won't stay in its spot.
The slide ripped and the splash pool got a hole in it.
The splash pool doesn't hold much water when it's on a hill.
The bucket doesn't dump very well.
So,my kids made up new games on it.

{warning:Don't put the splash pool on a hill or the water will all go to the side thats on the hill}

THIS WOULD OF BEEN FUN FOR THE KIDS BUT MY SON SLID ON IT 5 TIMES THEN IT RIPPED I TRIED TO FIX IT BUT IT DIDNT HOLD WHAT A WAIST OF MONEY. ALSO IT TOOK LONGER TO PUT IT TOGETHER AND MY SON GOT 20 MINS. WORTH OF FUN.

I bought this last summer for my girls, ages 2 & 8, I used it too! They/we all had alot of fun using it. HOWEVER if your using this on a slight down slope, beware of the pool that forms at the bottom of the slide. Running water will settle in the bumper at the bottom and forms a pretty deep pool of water for little ones. This also comes with plastic spikes to hold the slide in place which did not tare the slide, or cause any problem for us, but the bridge doesn't have anything to hold it in place. If it is windy or breezy at all, you have to keep a close eye on it, it will take off as far as the water feeder line will let it go, but it is that water feeder line you want to watch for! It could catch a child and wrap around a little neck or limb and may cause injuries. Just some things to think about, in all cases there needs to be supervision! Over all, with supervision,it is a fun toy!

I bought this product after buying a few other slip and slides and am very disappointed with the quality! I have purchaseda few in the past and they have never lasted ,they have all come apart at the seams. However my kids love them and think they are great and have lots of fun with them but they nee to come up with a better way of holing the seams together.

This Product is so much fun my 6 yr old and 11 yr old are playing on it right now. It only took us about 15-20 min to set up. If you have a air compressor it goes fast and you DO NOT have to poke a pencil in it to open the valves. The directions were right on. the bucket dumps perfectly! we have no problems with the water pressure and we run off a well. We purchased this so the kids can get cooled off while we are working on the big pool and it is working wonderful!
