Tough Enough

Practical Mom from Jacksonville, FL

We bought this slide last summer for our twin sons' birthday. I was hesitant because of the bad reviews but after checking the prices to rent one, decided to give it a try. It made it through the party with 10 kids climbing all over it having a blast. We used it several more times with no problems and then stored it for the winter. We pulled it out this year and it blew right up. We just took it to a friends house for the 4th of July and had 15 kids ranging from 5 to 13 years old again climbing all on it. To be honest they were being very rough on it so I didn't expect it to make it through the day. Six hours later we took it down and it was still in tact. All the parents were very impressed with it and were asking where we got it. I've never taken the time to review an item before, but decided to make the effort as I think this was well worth the price we paid. Yes it's expensive, but compared to renting one for four hours for $250, if you get more than one use out of it for … Read more

We Love It!

texas momma from Winfield IL

we bought this product last summer. at the time, we were buying for a party instead of renting a bounce house, same money and if we used it even one more time, we save! we had at least 30 kids on the slide and we had to watch them so that all 30 were not trying to go down at once. Some common sense on the part of the adults and we had a great time! Our slide has entertained and entertained! WE LOVE IT!!!! Key to long life is to pack it away properly. You absolutely must make sure it is dried out before putting it away. Think about camping equipment...if you pack away a wet tent, it will mold and deteriorate. We love it and will be using ours again next summer...3 summers worth of waterslide, the whole neighborhood loves it! We have had kids as old as 14, weighing as much as 200 pounds....some adults have used it, but we would not recommend that too often...they tended to go off the end! Read more

I would buy this product again.

I am a children's minister; our church purchased this slide and used it many times with as few as 1 child and as many as 102. Kids and adults both enjoyed it; one gentleman over 200 pounds and approx. 6'3" enjoyed going down with his grand daughters; a 6'2", 195 teenaged boy raced against a 200 lb. 5'2" woman and both had a great time. We are finishing our third summer with this slide and look forward to more. You do have to be sure the slide is completely dry before packing it away, but we found that leaving it inflated (w/o water running) allowed it to dry in very short time, then a quick wipe down with a dry towel and we were good to go.

money well spent from pa

unlike most of these people i loved it. We bought it last year and the kids loved it even the teenagers, not only kids but all the adult as well. we had 250 lbs. adults on the slide and it lasted. we got it out again this summer and had about 20 kids climbing all over it, and we still have it. It is supposed to leak air, says right on it....so it will not burst...keep the air flowing. it is still like new and we had it 2 years and used it a million of times and are looking to buy another one so we can have double the fun. it is most definitly worth the money if you only use it once it still pays for itself Read more

This is a fun slide but....

AGI's mom from Livonia MI

Water gets in the seams and now after using it only one summer I highly doubt it will last thru another year. I completely regret not buying the extra warranty. It's a shame that the product wasn't made better to not allow this to happen. I'm going to try putting plumbers glue on all the seams. Hopefully that will work. After each use this year it's so heavy and very difficult to remove the water from inside. We never can get it all out. We did use it a lot last summer. The kids loved it! It's safer than other slides b/c you climb up the back instead of the front. It's just too bad that the seams don't hold up well. Read more
