IntexKiddie Pool - Kid's Summer Sunset Glow Design - 58" x 13"

I just received this pool today, Friday, from Amazon. Even after reading all the reviews, I decided to test it and see if it would work. I immediately opened it to blow it up in preparation for my son's water party tomorrow. I love the fact that there are 3 seperate side chambers. If one chamber pops, there are 2 others to compensate. The cushion bottom also has to be blown up. I have found it is difficult to collapse the plug in only on the bottom, the rest are fine. I do love the cushion bottom as it adds an extra soft later for my 1 year old daughter. To be honest, I was too lazy to go find my foot pump or hand pump, so I blew it up. It took me less than 10 minutes. The one I got seems to be made with a heavier plastic, and I inspected the seams and they look solid.*WARNING* I could quickly see a problem that could arise if using a foot pump, hand pump, or electric pump. While it does appear to be a heavier plastic with solid seams, no plastic would be able to withstand the pressures if you accidentally over-inflate using a foot pump, hand pump, or electric pump, which could easily happen if not blowing up personally. If you decide to use any of these, my suggestion would be to slightly under inflate and blow up the rest of the way personally.Immediately after blowing up, my kids started jumping around on it and in it. It has been about an hour and doesn't look like it has lost any air. I am waiting to fill with water just in case anything happens. I also have the pool still sitting in my living room cause I know there is nothing in here that will pop it.I only gave this 4 stars for now because this is a preliminary report. I will update it as time goes by and if it meets or exceeds my expectations, I will give it the last star.*UPDATE*I did take the pool outside and left it on my patio overnight and only noticed it marginally "deflated". However, air expands and contracts in differing temperatures, so I know it didn't really lose air. I added a little air to each chamber before I filled it up with water for the party. It lasted through a 5 hour party on Saturday, with 7 kids, ages 3 - 6 jumping in and out of it. At the end of the party, I dumped the water out and was too lazy to deflate it, so I left it in the yard. Today (Tuesday), I noticed it is still holding air fine, so I filled it up with water and let my son, his friend, and my daughter go at it.I would definitely recommend this pool, but when you blow it up, do it with your mouth to avoid accidental over inflation.

Nice size and super cute! It fits all three of my children (2,5,& 8). I used an intex plug in pump to inflate it and it took about 30 minutes to complete. I’d recommend it and it’s less than $30!

The media could not be loaded. My favorite purchase of the summer! I enjoy the pool with my 3-month old several times a week. It is a great way to expose her to water play beyond the bath tub and without lugging all our gear to an overstimulating public pool. It is a nice size for me to fit in while holding her, and will be the perfect size next summer when she is sitting up and playing more independently. I’m happy we will get another summer (or two) worth of play with this pool! I keep it on our covered porch for shade, but it could be easily moved into our yard if needed. With the pool’s cushiony bottom surface it is comfortable for us both. I am giving it a 4 star rating only because it does not come with a pump. We used the hand pump for our exercise ball and it took about 20 minutes to inflate. I would imagine it would take even longer to inflate by mouth if you didn’t have a pump at all.

This pool has lasest 2 summers so far and still going stong. We store it fully inflated in the shed when were not using it. It holds air very well. The bottom is soft and great for little ones feet. No issues at all. Great easy purchase that we have used 30+ times.

The media could not be loaded. Update a month later:The bottom of pool deflated and will not hold air anymore. Not a big deal but if you were specifically looking for a pool with a soft bottom, then this might not be for you. (Last pic is deflated)Original review:We love this pool! So far hasn't deflated any, but we're only at the beginning of summer. I don't mind buying another pool next summer if this one's last at least until the fall.The only "complaint" I have is the plug where you inflate the bottom is about a foot in from the side so if someone sat there or hit their knee it would definitely not feel good (see video). Would be better if it were somewhere in the side.Also could use a drain plug but we are only putting a small amount of water in it for 1 year old (12 months), but anymore than shown it gets harder to flip over to dump water out.

Do NOT buy this pool unless you have lungs that can match a Cat 5 hurricane. This thing is IMPOSSIBLE to inflate. You can’t use a portable inflator or a hand inflator because of the way they have configured the plugs. This means you’ll be inflating this whole thing by mouth, and you have to basically chew the plug while breathing to get a teeny tiny bit of air in. It’s not an easy one AT ALL. The bottom of ours doesn’t totally inflate because they sealed off some of the bottom bubbles in the manufacturing process. Honestly, this thing feels like a lung torture test and I have no idea why it is rated so high. Please, heed this warning and save your lungs and your $20 - find another kiddie pool that actually is designed to allow air in through the plug. This one is exceptionally low quality and we are sending it back as soon as I recover some lung capacity.
