A great waterslide Sep 03, 2010 We read many reviews before we decided which waterslide to purchase. They all seem to have some negative reviews out there, but we think people are more likely to leave a review for something negative, rather than positive. We took this into consideration when purchasing. So far we have had no problems with this waterslide. We have used it about four times, and each time it's had about six 4-12 year-olds playing on it. We did give them the rules before play....one person at a time on the top of the slide, no sharp object, no hanging on the nets (since this seems to be one of the common negative comments about the slide, that the nets tear easily) no hanging on the arch, and we also removed the hose from the water cannon, just to prevent to much "hard play" to avoid any tearing. Another comment stated that if you rub it down with liquid baby soap before play it helps make it more slippery and less of a chance of riping at the seams. We did this too and it seems to work out great. It's a fun slide that the kids have loved!! I would highly recommend this slide to anyone, but do expect to make sure the rules are followed to get the most out of it. Just as with any product, if kids are too rough, it will break. But overall, it's well worth the money!!!
Great, but... Aug 23, 2010 I was skeptical to order this waterslide because many of the reviews addressed the durability of the waterslide. Unfortunately, most reviews are correct. The waterslide is awesome fun for 11 and under children. It's big, it blows up quickly, looks great, and my kids love it. That was on the first day. We let it deflate overnight. The following day, we started the fan motor, watched it inflate, and realized it wasn't inflating to full tightness like it did the day before. The ladder area was barely full enough to allow my 10 year old son to climb. The durability is just not very good. There was already stitching coming loose.
I will add that amazon was great. Even though I had to buy a much bigger box (out of my pocket) to ship back, they did accept the return and sent me another slide. Thumbs up to Amazon!!!
If I had to do it over again, I would not buy it until Banzai improves the durability issue.
Knowing what you are getting helps: Aug 23, 2010 The kids love it, 10 and 6 boys, and my 2 year old girl likes to hang out in the pool and spray her brothers with the water gun. The basketball hoop is not used all, but I have had to break up fights over the use of the water gun. They will play for 2-3 hours on it on a normal day, sometimes a couple times a week. We had a birthday party and there were 5 kids on it for 4-5 hours. It was a big hit and was nice not to have the kids in the house. There is room for me to sit in the little pool with the 2 year old.
During use, you need to occasionally let water out of the pool area. The plug for the pool is in the inside corner of the slide, which allows water to come out under the slide making the bottom of the slide wet too. It's difficult to get all the water out of the pool with the crappy plug too.
It's heavier then I thought it would be. The instructions suggest removing the water tubing before you pack it away every time which is not going to happen. It wasn't difficult to thread the water tubing through the slide, just time consuming and tedious. I guess if you are going to pack it away tightly you would need to do that.
It is very difficult to completely dry through and through. Water naturally gets inside the slide, so you must leave it up with the blower running for an hour, or more, also you must flip it over and let the bottom dry as well. It's worth doing all this to try to prevent the fabric, and seams, from rotting from mildew or moisture. We haven't even tried to put it in the bag it comes with. We fold it gently, place it on a tarp and drag it into our shed where it, hopefully, continues to dry. I didn't think the water bill jumped up that much with it.
Before I bought this I had been researching back yard inflatable slides for a couple of years. I came to the conclusion that the slides have, at most, a 2 year lifespan. It's not feasible to expect the seams, and fabric, to withstand the wear and tear of being wet, stressed by the air blower to keep it inflated, and the bouncing of the children as they play on it. My neighbors are on their 3rd one. I'll be happy with this slide if we make it through half of next summer with it.
I know I listed quite a few negatives, but all in all, it's worth it to be able to entertain the kids the kids in the back yard for hours at a time so I am satisfied so far. It also helped to get the free shipping and have had a few gift certificates to pay for it too.
Fun so far.... Aug 23, 2010 The kids have been on this several times already and love it! The only problem we have had is getting completly dry!
2 hours & a hole on seam Aug 22, 2010 Our 1st time using the slide & the kids loved it! UNTIL approximatly 2 hrs of play time and there is a whole on the seam at the top where the kids sit before they come down the slide. I think it was a "defect" when stitched. I will be contacting company for replacement. I don't think I should have to patch a brand new slide after only using for 2 hours.
