Banzai Sidewinder Blast Bundle (Sidewinder Falls Slide with Bonus Fun Pack)

We bought this slide at the end of June. I have three kids and quite a few neighborhood children that come over to use the slide. I have not had any problems. It inflates in no time, it takes about 15 min. to fill the pool, which is not to long and the kids have spent hours on end on it.
I have read where it is hard to drain, however, we don't try to drain it. We just turn the air pump off and when the slide collapses it pushes the water right out. This may not be recommended but it works.
There is still a small amount of water that is left but we just use a towel to soak up the extra water and that seems to work.
Personally, we have had a great experience.

We bought this for my son's 5-year old birthday. It exceeded my expectations. It is NOT some cheap, plastic, use-once blow up toy. This is a very durable, HUGE water slide. We had about 25 kids climbing all over this thing for an entire afternoon, they had a great time, and we had absolutely no problems with it. We plan to use this again and again.

It takes about an hour to set this up. Once you connect the blower, it blows up in three minutes. The rest of the time is spent installing the water lines and staking the slide to the ground.

The actual pool is quite large. We used a water hose as a siphon to empty it away from the lawn after the party. It took 4 hours to drain through a garden hose. This gives you some sense for the size. The important thing the instructions stress is to dry it thoroughly in the sun before rolling it up for storage. This can be tricky, but worth it if you don't want it to mildew.

Highly recommended- the thing is really great.

Great product. I thought a little pricey until I tried to rent one. Needs alot of time to dry. Dry completely before picking up. kids enjoyed it so very much. Talk of the neighborhood.

I direct a summer day camp for K-6th graders & we used this for a week, almost non-stop. The kids loved it! It's a little difficult to handle - I hired a young man to do the setup & breakdown - and you really need more storage room than the original box, but it's a really great toy for elementary school age kids. It held up well year one - we'll see if it makes it through next summer!

All the kids at my sons birthday party had a blast with this slide. The only thing was some kids got cuts on the bottom of their feet because we had the slide on cement and the bottom of the water slide was not inflatable, so it was like the kids were sliding onto the cement. And a few kids slipped of the sliippery ladder while climbing up to the slide, and this slide doesnt have a saftey feature for those who slip off. But overall the kids had a blast.
