Great pool

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023

Size: 1 PackVerified Purchase

I bought this for my 2 year old, she absolutely loves it. It is easy to inflate and set up. I bought the recommended air pump separate, it does not come with an air pump. It has a cute slide and bright colors all around. Perfect for toddler ages but big enough for adults to get in with them and enjoy as well. I would highly recommend, for the money it is one of the best buys I've found all year. It seems to be sturdy and we have no issues with it so far.

Better than expected

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2012

Size: 1 PackVerified Purchase

We purchased this pool for our 5 1/2 and 3 year old. This pool is nice and large and has plenty of space for both of my kids to play and splash. My husband has even spent some time in it with them and still left plenty of room to play. The spray that comes out of the sides is a ton of fun and the slide is just right for my kids. As I type they are outside sliding down it head first on their tummies and having a grand time. It isn't depicted on the Amazon picture, but there is also a little inflatable landing pad at the base of the slide, which is a nice touch. One thing I didn't realize when I ordered is that both pool areas have a drain on the bottom, which I was very pleased to see. Most similar pools do not have that feature, so it was a pleasant surprise. There was a small hole in the bottom of the smaller area of the pool, but my kids played in it empty for a couple of days in the house before we filled it up outside so they could have caused that. Even so, we didn't even patch it yet and the water level has remained fine despite the hole. We do have a tarp under it so that may help... The pool came with a patch so we will patch it up once it is dry so it doesn't get bigger, but I am not too concerned. Any pool like this is going to end up with holes in the bottom in my opinion. As long as the inflatable parts stay intact then I don't worry too much and so far it has held air great. We are very happy with this purchase. It was a reasonable price, especially considering the fun toys that come with it.

This kiddie pool is the real deal

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2016

Size: 1 PackVerified Purchase

Unlike other kiddie pools whose marketing materials photoshop children down to hobbit size in order to make the pool appear enormous, this one lives up to its promise -- I was pleasantly surprised to find the pool was even a bit larger than my expectations, which are admittedly skewed by the aforementioned hobbit trick. It was a huge hit with the kids, especially the float toys, which I thought the kids would think were stupid. The pool's depth was good, and the kids played in it pretty much nonstop till it was time to go home.

The cons: It has a bunch of chambers to inflate (the slide alone has like six or seven), so seriously make sure you have an electric air pump with the wide and narrow attachments. Literally, I think you would die if you tried to blow this up with your mouth. Unless you're a politician. (Thanks, folks, I'll be here all week.) The sprinkler takes a minute to fill up and come to full pressure, and we had to turn our hose to BARELY on, or the sprinkler shot like 20 feet in the air. Which was actually totally awesome, but just a bit much for the age group. The slide seemed a little sticky -- the kids seemed to need a little assistance to slide down. It didn't seem to bother any of them, but I feel like it would've bothered me if I were actually small enough to go on it.

Overall, a great pool. Highly recommended.

Fun but with flaws

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2022

Size: 1 PackVerified Purchase

I've had this product about a year, and have inflated/deflated the product about 20-25 times. My kids (currently 3.5 and 1.5) really enjoyed this kiddie pool, and seems like it was just about the right size for them to enjoy at their ages. The extra inflatables were a nice touch making this a pretty good value at the purchase price of about $40. I timed the set up from deflated to kids splashing, and it's about 30 minutes after some practice.

You absolutely need a pump to inflate this product. I went with the Intex 6C pump (which uses 6 C-cell batteries) which is good for about 10 inflations before the batteries die. When using this pump, it's not obvious how it will fit into the valves, since the fit is very tight around the pump openings. However, it works totally fine with a little bit of force. I usually use my mouth to push in a little bit extra air to make the inflation a bit firmer (see below). As soon as you remove the pump, the product quickly loses air, so you have a split second to close the valve by hand. One thing that is NOT mentioned in the instructions is that the main valve is a TWO STAGE value: the way it is supposed to work is that you inflate the product first with the valve completely open to inflate the product about 95% of the way. Then you insert the first part of the valve and continue to inflate the remaining 5% - it is actually a two-way valve which wasn't obvious to me. The Intex 6C pump isn't strong enough to get the last 5%, so you will need to do this by mouth which is a bit of a workout.

Unfortunately, this product has some flaws which you should be aware of prior to purchasing. I think if you're careful, this product should last a long time. Unfortunately, ours bit the dust yesterday due to the second one.

The first giant flaw is that the palm tree is attached to the main air reservoir, so unless you get the full 100% inflation of this reservoir (see above), the tree will droop into the wading pool and interfere with play. After the plastic stretches out a bit after filling, even if you thought you filled up the air to 100% you might need to blow in a few more puffs for it to stay standing up. Aside from it interfering with play, if the palm tree is damaged during play, it will break the whole pool since it is attached to the outermost ring. I'm not clear why Intex designed it this way.

The second flaw are the water jets. This pool CANNOT handle much water pressure from a garden hose. To get around this, the manufacturer included an intentionally leaky hose connector which prevents too much pressure buildup. This will create a puddle next to the pool which I didn't like. Thinking I was smart, I sealed up the connector to prevent leaks. However, one twist of the garden hose and the sprinkler portion instantly burst INTO the main air reservoir, causing water to go into the main section of the pool interior which is NOT patchable. So sadly this one ended up in the bin.

I'm contemplating getting a replacement since my kids love it so much, but I'd recommend not using the water spray attachment at all due to this flaw in design.

Como siempre, llegó a tiempo, en plazo y con todos sus componentes (piscina, ballena, tortuga, cactus y aros).
Es muy grande para ser una piscina para peques y la profundidad perfecta. Su padre y yo hemos estado jugando con él dentro de la piscina y estar los tres juntos ha sido genial.
El tobogán se sostiene perfectamente y el detalle de que esté dentro de la zona de piscina es de diez, así no tiene que entrar y salir a cada momento y te ahorras los peligros que conlleva, como resbalones, caídas, etc.
La guinda del pastel han sido los chorros que tiene alrededor, eso hay que verlo, son divertidísimos.
Por último, los colores tal cual, vivos y muy bonitos, y la robustez a prueba de niños y mayores.

Toller und gut durchdachter Pool, bisher keine Beanstandungen!

Reviewed in Germany on July 4, 2016

Size: 1 PackVerified Purchase

-> Achtung, die Produktbilder mit Wiese zeigen eine veraltete Version, es ist der Pool, der mit dem weißen Hintergrund abgebildet ist!

Unser Mini-Planschbecken hat ausgedient, es muss etwas Größeres her. Wir haben uns für diesen Pool entschieden, da hier die Rutsche innerhalb des Pools sitzt und somit nicht ständig Dreck und Gras von den Füßen mit in den Pool gelangt.

Beim Auspacken hat der Gummi einen ganz typischen Eigengeruch, der aber schnell verfliegt. Bis jetzt steht der Pool schon knapp vier Wochen und hat nur ein ganz bisschen Luft verloren, so dass die Palme nicht mehr steht. Ist aber vernachlässigbar. Auch die zusätzlichen Teile sind noch komplett mit Luft gefüllt.
Mit im Paket sind ein Wal, eine Schildkröte (enthält 3 Rasselbälle im durchsichtigen Bauch), 3 Ringe (rot, blau, grün) und ein Ringfänger.

Das Becken hat 9 verschiedene Luftkammern:
- Rand
- Palmenkopf
- Rutsche: 2x Seitenteil, 2x Rutschengeländer, 1x Rutschfläche, 1x Stütze, 1x Rutschenende
Für alle Teile ist ein normales Ventil wie beim Wasserball vorhanden, außer der Rand. Dort ist ein großes Loch als Ventil eingebaut, wie man es z.B. von Luftmatratzen kennt. Mit jeder handelsüblichen Doppelhub-Pumpe oder einer Fusspumpe für Luftmatratzen lässt sich das ganze relativ zügig aufpumpen. Eine elektrische Pumpe wird nicht empfohlen. Um alles von Hand aufzupumpen sollte man also etwas Zeit und Ausdauer einrechnen.
Hinweis: Der Boden ist nicht mit Luft gefüllt. Beide Kammern (großes und kleines Becken) verfügen aber über einen Wasserauslass im Boden.

Der Pool sieht genau so aus wie auf den Fotos (bzw. ist bei einigen Produktfotos noch eine alte Version zu sehen, ohne Rutschengeländer und -endteil). Man kann sich also auch als Erwachsener bequem mit dazu setzen oder sich sogar mal hineinlegen und abkühlen.

Der kleine, abgetrennte Teil hinter der Rutsche ist nötig, damit die Rutsche gut hält. Darin befindet sich ein (nicht verschließbarer) Abfluss, welcher verhindert, dass man dieses kleine Becken zu weit füllt. Für die Sicherheit super, für den Spaß leider nicht. Ein bisschen schade ist auch, dass der Teil hinter der Rutsche komplett vom Rest abgetrennt ist. Das lädt nicht besonders ein und man "verliert" sozusagen diesen Teil des Pools, da man eigentlich nie darin spielt. Ein Vorteil hingegen ist, dass der Dreck, wenn man doch mal außen herum läuft, in dem kleinen Becken gesammelt wird und sich nicht im ganzen Pool verteilt.

Zusätzlich gibt es noch einen (Standard Gardena Klick-) Anschluss für einen Schlauch. Befestigt man dort selbigen und lässt das Wasser laufen, treten überall am ganzen Rand kleine Wasserfontänen auf. Anfangs nur ca 10cm hoch, aber ist der Rand rundherum erst mit Wasser gefüllt, spritzt es rund 3 Meter hoch! Und obwohl alle Löcher - gut mitgedacht - nach innen zeigen, schießt bei der Höhe auch mal was daneben. Aber egal - den Kindern macht es auf jeden Fall sehr viel Spaß!

Zur Reinigung wischen wir den Boden im Wasser sauber, schöpfen den Pool aus und kippen den Rest weg. Nicht die eleganteste Lösung, aber einfacher als gedacht.

Da es bisher nichts an dem Pool auszusetzen gibt, gebe ich 5 Sterne. Man liest aber auch öfter mal, dass er nach einer Saison oder sogar noch davor das Zeitliche gesegnet hat und irgendwo geplatzt ist, Luft verliert, etc. Ich behalte das im Auge und aktualisiere ggf. die Rezension; allerdings habe ich für den Preis auch nicht soo große Erwartungen. Ich lasse mich überraschen!

PS: Man erhält diesen Pool mittels Preisvergleichsportalen auch für knapp 30€.
