Water inflatable
Anyone have one and have any feedback? We dont have a pool so I thought this would be good entertainment but most are around $500 and want to make sure its worth the money! Thanks

Water inflatable
We have one, and have used it for years and the kids love it!! But, sadly they are getting too big for it. I bought mine on Kohl's.com with a 30% off coupon. I think I paid $250 for it, and we definitely have gotten a lot of use out of it. I would never pay $500 for one. My thought was, even if it lasted a Summer, it was worth it. It's lasted about 5. You have to dry it out very well after you drain the water, otherwise it will get moldy.

Agree. We got our at target with a 35% off cartwheel deal a few summers ago and paid a little less than $200 for it.
it was totally worth it, but you do have to take care of it, let it dry out before putting it away, etc.

How do you empty the water out of the pool -- i assume there is some kind of release valve at the bottom? Once you do that do you just let it sit out overnight inflated to air dry or what? Only reason I have not bought one is bc im confused as to how to store it!

Re: Water inflatable
We drain and dump the water
Then re inflate and let it dry in the sun for a bit. Then deflate again

I have a big one with 2 slides. I only take it out for parties or big playdates. We let the water drain and sit out for a bit to dry. Then I go around it with towels to dry up any spots that were still wet. This will be out 3rd summer using it.

Re: Water inflatable
Some of these look like fun for the adults too! I can see myself jumping on after a few margaritas.

We borrowed this one for a party. It’s fun... but it was very hard to dry and was slightly moldy after one use (thus, slightly moldy for our party). It’s also huge (even to store) but kids started aging out of it at age 6.5-7 by size. We decided against getting one ourselves. The towel idea is a good one... may make maintenance easier. OP: see if you can borrow one before you buy!

Kohl's has a few of them. With the 30% off, I just paid like $250 or something for it.

Does anyone have one from the brand Banzai? They are most affordable but we have had a few smaller things from them and the quality was terrible so I didnt want to buy from them again

Yes, they are great! The motorized ones that is. The ones that come in the boxes on the shelves for like $35 from them are junk
