We have really enjoyed our swimming pool. It is just the right size for my [...] daughter who isn't too fond of the water. The only thing that could be a little better is the cover. It requires at least 2 adults to put it on correctly, and one who is strong enough to pull the strings tightly. We read other reviews before we made the purchase, and knew this might be a problem. Other than that was a great buy for our family.

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter. She loves it. It wasn't to bad setting up, the only thing is when you need to vacauum the pool your actually filling the pool at the same time, which I didn't like. It rained here for 4 days and I had the top on it which not only kept the leaves out of it, but also filled the pool even more I had to empty it 2 times about 12 inches of water,each time. The top has holes in it for some reason. Also I found out if you don't order the refill cartlidges for the pool, it very hard to find them. You do need to clean your filter out everyday. But other then that, it is affordable, keeps my daughter happy, and saves money in the long run.

We have only had this pool for a few weeks now, but it really went up easier than we thought it would. We do have a pretty level area for it, so that was not a problem. Just watch the video, let it sit out in the sun for an hour so it stretches out better when filling it, and enjoy. We bought a simple chemical dispenser and have had no problems. The filter is to small, but just keep it clean(washing it off with a hose works fine). Over all it really is a good pool/ladder/cover and ground tarp for the money!

My in-laws bought this pool for us last year- actually for my son. We first filled it up- all the way- and it tilted so bad because the land was not perfectly level. So we dumped out all the water and my poor husband completely dug up the grass and leveled out the ground (or so we thought). We filled the pool up again and enjoyed a couple of weeks of swimming until the pool started tilting so bad you could see the bottom seem on one side. We got to the point where we were afraid it was going to bust. Again we dumped out the water and just put it away for the rest of the summer.
This summer my husband has completely built a new concrete patio- with caissons and everything. We happily filled up the pool thinking "this is it! It's going to work!" Until it started tilting again. But it wasn't bad. So we left it- thinking maybe it was stretched out from last year? This morning, once again, we could see the bottom seams!! I'm sick of this!! So we called Toys R Us and LUCKILY we had purchased the 1 year warranty. Toys R Us did not seem at all surprised and told us how we can easily get our money back. Now we're trying the metal frame- but we'll be sure to get the warranty again.
This so called in expensive pool ended up costing us over $[...] for everything we needed to do just to fill the stupid thing!!

Our pool is getting ready to go into its third season and it is one of the best purchases our family had made! My boys, ages 6 and 3 love to play in the pool and I love it as much as they do. We have had two summers of fun so far in the pool and look forward to many more. This year we need to replace the ladder as it has completely rusted out (probably shouldn't have left it in the water and rain.) I would not recommend using the cover with it as it disentigrates and makes a mess of the pool. We plan on purchasing a solar cover this year. For the money, the entertainment value we have received thus far has exceeded the cost of the pool. If we get a third season's use out of this product, I will be that much more pleased. Don't forget to maintain the pool's chemical levels and for goodness sakes don't miss an algea treatment or you will have a mess on your hands!
