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

The Banzai Sidewinder Falls waterslide arrived almost a month ago and there hasn't been a day that goes by that the kids haven't wanted to use it. It's sturdy enough for an adult to use too. The bonus pack toys broke the first week, but the slide is the main event anyway. My only gripe is with the durability. We've already had one hole (the slide does come with a good patch kit) and I can tell that the fabric will not hold out for more than two season, best case scenerio. The bigger drawback is the hose system, which is made of narrow very easily crimped clear plastic tubing. Still, for a 1000th of the price I would have paid to put a pool in my yard the kids are having a great summer -- even with the inconvenience and questionable durability it was a good investment in summer fun.

I SENT THIS TO MY GRANDCHILDREN AS A HOUSE WARMING GIFT. THEY WERE SO EXCITED. THEY HAD COMPANY OVER AND ALL THE CHILDREN PLAYED FOR HOURS. THEY HAD A BALL!! NO PROBLEMS TO REPORT SO FAR.

Terrible product, stay away. Every seam leaks air and the blower overheats and stops working after 1/2 an hour. It's a piece of junk. It may be look fun, but unless you are interested in wasting almost $[...] on a one-time use product, think again.

I have had this product for several weeks now and have used it three times. So far I have no problems to report. It appears to be durable and has supported a 165 lb adult on it several times. Although this is above the recommended weight, it goes to show its durability (so far). The slide is bulky and pretty heavy. It would be very difficult if not impossible for my wife to set up alone. At the price I paid, approx $400, it appears to be a worthy investment for kid fun. We could easily spend that much in a summer on gas, movies, etc.

Me, my wife, our 3 year old daughter and her friends have all had a great experience with the toy so far despite the recent complaints from most of the reviewers. Thanks to the review on how to care for the product before putting it away after each use it has held up pretty good so far. We look forward to putting it to more use next summer as we purchased it kind of late in the season.
