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

My kids love this toy and so do the neighbors but the blower turns off all the time on them when they are on it so they have to get off real quick before the slide deflates. When the slide is on and noone is on it, the blower never turns off but as soon as the kids start playing on it they are having to constantly run and turn off the water and hold the sides of the slide up so they don't loose all the water in the pool. I called the company to see what they could do and I was told I would have to send a piece in and they would send a replacement if necessary. The problem is since it's the blower, I can't just send a piece in I have to send the whole thing and then my kids are without the slide for the summer. I am hoping that I can send it in soon since summer is almost over and they will still honor the warranty. I tried to fax the company the information they wanted but the number they gave me was always busy.

We purchased a Banzai Sidewinder Falls Slide. Although the children absolutely loved the slide, we question its durability. After only two uses the stitching at the bottom of the slide came off, leaving an open seam three inches long. Water began entering the inner portion of the slide, so we had to shut it down. I tried to sew the seam, so we'll see if that works. Not an easy repair.

We purchased the Bonzai Sidewinder for our grandchildren. It was getting late in the season so they've only used it a few times so far, but they are having a great time on it. The only complaint we have is that the top spray tube tends to kink and not much water comes out. We have to readjust it off and on but it is not a huge problem. We like the fact that the pool part of it is nice and big. It does take several adults to empty it and deflate it but that is what we expected. So far, so good.

This was purchased for my 3 year old grand daughter's birthday but kid's of all ages loved it. Even as small as she is, she mastered climbing up in no time at all. My 22 year old son had a blast on it. It seems to be well made and sets up in a snap. The only area for improvement I have noticed is the water tubing. It's a bit flimsy and kinks easily. I think a heavier duty tubing would work better. I wish I'd had this when my own kids were little.

This slide was enjoyed over two days by 10 kids ranging in age from 3 to 8 years old and they had a blast.
Drying flat did not work. We found that moving the emptied pool to the driveway and letting it dry while inflated worked beautifully. Air tends to blow through the seams so it air dries itself.
One issue we did find is that the smaller kids ran the risk of bouncing themselves right out of the slide if they bounced.
Great with close adult supervision.
