Customers are mixed about the quality of the toy. Some mention that it's solidly built, not easy to break, and stable. However, others say that it is made of pretty flimsy plastic, the build quality is diabolical, and the end of the pull string is not durable.

37 customers mention2 positive35 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the pressure of the toy. They mention that it's difficult to build up enough pressure to launch the bottle, and the check valve holds very little pressure. Some customers also report that the front cap is missing or damaged, causing the bottle to leak. The pressure relief goes off at 35 psi, and it does not close after being activated.

"The bottle wouldn't pressurize with a bike pump when put on the launcher (I pumped gently and had a pressure gauge on the bike pump)...." Read more

"The pressure relief on this item failed and won't reset. Can you tell me where to find a replacement. Otherwise lots of fun ." Read more

"...The only thing I was disappointed in was that we can only pressurize the bottles to 50psi (I’m sure for safety reasons) but the day of the..." Read more

"...If I go over 35, the pressure valve releases and all the water comes out of the bottle. Launching them at 35lbs is very underwhelming...." Read more

36 customers mention0 positive36 negative

Customers find the value of the rocket to be poor. They mention that it's not worth the money, it'll be a waste of money, and that it appears to be pricier than it is.

"...AQUAPOD was money wasted. It didn’t work, wasn’t fun, and we didn’t want to use it again." Read more

"...A great addition to outdoor activities. The price tag is a bit steep however keep in mind that there isn't anything other than a 2 liter bottle that..." Read more

This would have been season 6 for our Aquapod. I purchased it in 2015 and we've launched it hundreds of times each year. We've definitely surpassed 1000 launches and I wouldn't be surprised if we have over 2000 launches on this bad boy.But alas, all good things come to an end and sadly, this year its plastic frame succumbed to fatigue as can be seen in the accompanying photo. It's understandably the weak spot. I see other reviews where people are timidly pumping it up to 40 psi, etc. As Brian Wilson famously said once, "Not my boys!" We pump it until the pressure relief valve kicks in. Max pressure! Is a design revision in order? Maybe. Maybe the mold could be augmented along the edge where ours eventually cracked.But we extracted full value and then some from the Aquapod. As a father, I've been to every one of my 6 kids' elementary school classes demonstrating Newton's Laws with the Aquapod. For the older classes, I made up an experimental project where we varied the volume of water in the bottle and the pressure and estimate height with a few kids spotting the angle when the bottles reached apogee. You could spend a solid week teaching with the Aquapod.Without fail, when we break out the Aquapod a crowd gathers. It doesn't matter the age, the Aquapod sucks people in like flies to excrement. My kids got such a kick out of our 85 yo retired engineer neighbor acting like he was 12 playing with this thing.Needless to say, I'm writing this review because I came back to buy it again. Can't wait for the new one to arrive in the mail!
