Intex 8.5ft x 5.25ft x 18in Swim Center Paradise Seaside Inflatable Kiddie Pool with Drain Plug for Quick and Easy Clean Up

I popped the last blow-up pool (much smaller than this one) by accident, so I decided to try a bigger one for my toddler (she's almost 2 years old), and THIS POOL HAS BEEN AMAZING! She LOVES it! Of course it feels HUGE to her, and there's room for me (and/or another adult) to play in the pool with her - another huge bonus that's she is always super excited about. The pool is very sturdy, was very easy to inflate (with my tiny electric air pump), and has maintained a clean look so far (about a month of nearly daily use). I drain and spray/wipe it down once a week. THE ONLY STRUGGLE is the drain. Because it has to be at the bottom of the pool, and because the pool is so large and holds so much water, I cannot simply open the drain and hope the water spills out...I have to shove a ball under the corner nearest the plug to allow just enough lift off the ground so that the open plug CAN release the water from the pool. This also means I have not been able to use it on grass or a flat area; I set it up on our backyard concrete near one of the drains (so the water has somewhere to go when I've used the ball to lift the drain hole off the ground enough for water to escape at all). But hey, I managed! *wink* And it's worth the slight hassle!!!!

I've had this pool up since June 13th. I have 2 young grand littles (3&4) who are fairly rough, and it hasn't lost any air or water! Just deep enough for my 9 mo. old grand baby to float in her seated floatie ring. It's a great pool and decent size, with a cute pattern. Didn't have any issues blowing it up or filling. I float a small chlorine dispenser with tablets to keep it clean and clear when kids aren't using. *update! This pool has now been up since June. No air or water loss. My grand babies have been using it, and not on the gentle side lol. It's holding up great.

Very nice pool . Large enough for friends!

We love this pool. We set it up at the bottom of our playset's slide, with the hose at the top. The kids (3 & 4 1/2) slide and splash endlessly. We loaned it to our neighbors one time, and it came back with a very slow leak in the top air-tube (I have no idea how they did it). It's still usable - still holds water b/c the bottom tube is pretty tall (8-10"?) stays inflated, even as the top slowly loses air. We'll probably continue to use it this entire season and perhaps consider buying new next. Or maybe we'll just keep using it next year, too? It DOES have a drain plug - they must have reacted to all the negative comments and updated the design. The plug is small, however, so it takes a long time to drain. And, the drain plug lid, which is held on by a tether, can sometimes be pulled back into place by the water flow and sit against the opening as the water tries to drain. I suppose the design could still be improved a bit, though I'm not sure how that would be done. A faster way to drain is to just let a bit of air out and then stand on the wall until the water drains over your feet. All in all, we're very happy with this purchase, and can't be sure the product is faulty given we don't know how it was used (and punctured) when we loaned it out. (Note - it's a pool, so it's obviously not educational. But I rated it 5 stars for educational value, so it wouldn't bring down my review's average.)

Such an awesome durable pool. it inflated with a shop vac in 45 seconds, held the air for days, was able to have a little tykes plastic slide inside without any signs of tearing on the floor. My daughter had lots and lots of fun in this pool this summer and i'm going to hold on to those memories forever.

Update a year later: We used it in 2016 summer and put it away - at that time, there were no problems. It was stored inside the house in a storage container. When we pulled it out this season, and put the air in - you can tell very quickly that the top section was losing air. We refilled it again and again, and it would leak air even when the kids were not playing in it. I tried to located the leak - but it must be a tiny spot and maybe somewhere on the seam. We love the pool so much, and I happened to see a new great deal on Amazon - so I ended getting a new exact same pool. Lets hope the second one lasts longer. Otherwise, it is still the great pool. Enough space for two boys to play. They love to jump and slide into it. ***** Great pool - and very nice to have the drainage plug. I simply put few pool toss rings under the plug when I open it - and it drains completely and very fast. It can fit two kids and me and they can have fun running inside (aka RACE game). Two chambers to inflate. Once inflated, it gets pretty big - my 2 yr old can get in and out with a little effort and practice. They also like to do cannon-balls with it from a short stand.

We absolutely LOVE this pool. It is easy to blow up. I just have a manual hand pump and we blew it up with no problem. It worked well for all the kids ages ranging from 3 1/2 to 8 years old. Big enough for them to play in. The little ones actually learned to swim in it and put their heads under water. It's easy to clean and great quality. No problems with the seams at all. My only complaint is the plug to drain the pool. The plug to seal it wants to float down and cover the hole when I pull the plug to drain the pool. The hole is small and it takes all night to drain it. But that is not a deal breaker because the pool is perfect and so much fun for the kids!! It really made our summer great!!

Ich bin mit dem Produkt sehr zufrieden. Die Qualität macht einen soliden Eindruck und es erfüllt genau den Zweck, für den ich es gekauft habe.

bardzo fajna wielkosc za ta cene

It's bigger than you think. Perfect for outdoor fun with your family. Air pump is a must to inflate/deflate this quickly. Draining point is only one which is somewhat disappointing but hey it's there at least. Overall a satisfactory purchase. My kids love it.

📝 DESCRIPCIÓN Piscina hinchable rectangular de la marca Intex, muy reconocida en piscinas. * Modelo similar en Amazon, ligeramente de más capacidad: https://amzn.to/3XSfmeD 🧾 ESPECIFICACIONES - Medidas Exteriores: 262 x 160 x 46 cm - Medidas Interior: ~200 x 100 x 45 cm - Capacidad: ~640 litros - Material: Vinilo resistente, de color azul y blanco - Base de la piscina: Acolchada 📦 CONTENIDO 1 - Piscina hinchable para bebe, rectangular 1 - Kit de parches para reparar pequeños poros o pinchazos 💵 PRECIO 6 de Julio de 2020: 25,60€ 👧 EDADES De 2 a ~ 6 años 🟢 PROS · Piscina de buena calidad · Ligera y fácil de transportar · Bonito diseño. · No tiene elementos metálicos, por lo que a diferencia de otras, no puedes llevar golpes 🔴 CONTRAS · No tiene válvula de desagüe. · Se puede pinchar en un descuido · Necesitas algún elemento con el que hincharla · Con los días, va perdiendo algo de aire. 8️⃣ VALORACIÓN Es la primera piscina que tengo de aire y es mucho más cómoda que las de patas de hierro y sólo lona. Con esta puedes aprovechar los laterales para reposar y aunque te resbales y caigas, no te llevas golpes como si estuviese rodeada de hierro. La piscina tiene unas medidas de 262 x 160 cm exteriores, pero el ancho de la pared de aire mide sobre unos 46 cm, por lo que las medidas interiores se ven muy reducidas. Al final te queda unas dimensiones aproximadas de 200 x 100 cm Para hincharse, es necesario un hinchador de los eléctricos, un hinchador de los de pie o un compresor de aire. Si lo intentas hinchar con la boca te lleva mucho tiempo y al rato ya te empieza a faltar oxígeno en el cerebro y te mareas. No es muy recomendable. La piscina está pensada para niños pequeños, ya que a penas tiene altura de agua. Nosotros la usamos para un niño de 2 ahora y medio y va perfecta. Para niños mayores, no es muy apropiada, ya que apenas pueden disfrutarla, entre lo pequeña que es y la poca altura de agua que tiene, no les da para hacer muchos juegos, les vale para refrescarse y poco más. En la piscina puede entrar un adulto y dos niños fácilmente. El suelo no está acolchado, es una los y es conveniente poner algo de protección debajo para evitar que alguna piedra pueda pincharla. Para los pinchazos van bien estos parches que cogí en amazon: https://amzn.to/3R93m1S La piscina viene con un tapón de desagüe, que facilita el vaciado permita vaciarse sola. Yo la compré a finales de Junio y estaba de oferta a buen precio. Muy contento. Al igual que todas las piscinas de este estilo, el agua no suele durarte más de dos días limpia, aunque ese tiempo varía de si estás en un jardín con tierra, hierba y hojas o si estás en un terraza, con los pies más limpios. Para mantener el agua 💧más tiempo limpia, puedes usar un poco de cloro. Pases ello, debes controlar su Ph y el nivel de cloro. 👍 CONCLUSIÓN Una piscina económica y de buena calidad, con la que poder disfrutar con los niños de estos días de intensa calor. Es ideal para terrazas al tener un suelo de aire, que te permite ponerla directamente sobre el suelo y no lastimarte. ✅ Recomendable. ✳️ Espero que mi comentario ✍️ te haya podido servir de ayuda. 😃

It’s a big nice inflatable for kids but... quality is definitely not there. The second time we’ve emptied it, the plastic tore around the plug and here we go, we don’t have a pool anymore. The patch kit is a great addition for small holes but useless for this type of damage.
