WOW Sports - Sports Slide N Smile - Inflatable Floating Giant Water Slide For Adults & Children - Pool Accessory - Perfect for Lake & Pool Parties - 2 lanes (9 ft)

I was a little hesitant to buy this slide , thinking it would not last very long with my grandkids, 3 boys 1 girl, ages 10-2, but it is made of good quality material. They had a lot of fun with it in the pool.

We have an inground pool, two girls, a lot of nieces and a nephew who are like our own plus lots of friends who come over to swim. We’ve had wonderful luck keeping a “little tykes” slide by the pool for years (of course they hold up forever- why don’t they make pool slides?!) This year I ordered this particular slide because I wanted something my 5’11 13yo could also enjoy since outgrowing her kids slide a couple years ago. The pickings are slim when you need a slide with a weight limit of more than 100lbs but don’t want to pour fresh concrete for a permanent slide (and even if you do pour fresh concrete some of the limits were like 150lbs.. gimme a break 🙄)! Anywho, I read loads of reviews and knew the ratings were subpar going into it but it seemed like the biggest issue people had were the footholds being ripped out. So after threatening all of our swimmers within inches of their lives (joking!- but I was super specific about the footholds and having a zero tolerance for roughhousing on this thing) my hubby took the box outside to air it up. Five pumps later (manual pumps, battery, electric pumps we use on all our big floats, nothing worked) he dragged our generator back there and managed to start filling it up. It took ages but we did get it filled up before everyone came over to swim that day! But then- literally before anyone had used it- it started shrinking again. 😐 I checked all the plugs and everything, had my hubby recheck everything, no clue where the air was coming out but he filled it back up and we carried on. He had to add air to it four more times while everyone was swimming. I kept checking everything but couldn’t find an issue. Spent the next day looking for a leak (this thing isn’t easy to just flip over and check around on either!) with no luck, had the kids come out and sit on different areas so I could listen for air under otherwise quiet conditions. Nope, nothing. It’s just a ghost leak somewhere, apparently. Now it basically just sits there being an eyesore in the backyard. It’s hardly worth adding air every morning for the kids to swim a few hours. We put air in before people come over on the weekends but partly just because it’s an eyesore if we don’t. And my super sweet 13yo girl (the whole reason I got it in the first place) just won’t use it at all because she’s afraid it’ll just crap out under her. Ughhh so frustrating 😑 The pic attached isn’t overly helpful but it’s the only one I have right this moment and does sum it up pretty well- it’s our trusty tykes slide behind a kiddo and this crappy leaky eyesore off to the side 👍🏼

A little wider then 8 anticipated for area. But kids love it.

We bought it, blew it up and put it by in ground pool. the children were all 8 years and under, but the seam busted after 2 hours of swimming! Could not be sealed by us. A big loss!

Fun slide but lasted less than a year essentially. We were careful with it and stored it away in winter. Tiny hole after tiny hole. PITA to find new holes just due to the size. If you have $200 a summer to blow on this blow up, great, otherwise it's not a good value.

We only use for two weeks a year on the lake but after a couple days we would find it deflated in the morning and every morning after re-inflating it. Looked all over for a air leak to patch but found none. Fortunately the fine folks at Amazon sent another slide to us and have had no issues with it.

Only used once in a pool and now it will not hold air. There is no holes, rips, or tears. Never even got to take it out on the lake.

Every July my house becomes the hang out for all my kids and grandkids when we all come together. I asked my 14 year old granddaughters from FL what type of floats they wanted for this year. They just wanted the normal flat floats you lay on but that seemed way to boring so I saw this and it looked like so much fun. I have 7 grandkids ages 2-14 and they all had a blast on this. We moved it all over a paved deck surface and I wondered if it would be thick enough to endure the scraping as it was being dragged but it's the end of the summer and it has lasted and we'll have it for nest year. For the adults - we probably needed to blow it up more because everyone said they hit their backs on the edge of the pool (we had it placed so that about a foot was over the edge of the pool) as they slid down. So glad I got it - good decision Bobshkie (grandma) !!
