Bestway Family Inflatable Above Ground Rectangular Pool

Bought this two years ago, and again this year. We accidentally nicked a corner with the lawn mower, so that is why we bought another. It is a good pool in my opinion, contradictory to a lot of the other reviews. It's a blow up pool so it obviously isn't meant to be roughed around with, sharp items need to be kept away and when it is blown up, should be on a flat surface away from poke-y things (sticks.. crushed stones.. fences.. etc). My kids are 11, 11 and 13 and take care of this thing like gold as it keeps them cool and they do play in it quite a lot. It isn't a big pool but it does the trick. My dog even goes in there and has pretty sharp dew claws, and hasn't poked a hole in there yet. For obvious reasons, we dump it and top up the air in the rings every few ... MoreBought this two years ago, and again this year.

If you use it carefully it will last you a few summers at the least. Easy to clean, no need for expensive chemicals etc. I really do think it's a good product. I also like that it's big enough to hold enough water for a decent cool-off session, but small enough to move around the yard so the grass it sits on doesn't have to die.

I originally bought this product last year and it held up all summer long. When I went to use it this summer, it completely deflated. So it lasted one summer. I then bought another one this year, the model is slightly different, with a design on the blue part of the pool but nonetheless, pretty much the same. The first time I blew it up and used it, the top ring deflated overnight. The bottom stays inflated, the top, does not, after the first use which was disappointing since I live in Port Dover and drove to Stoney Creek to buy this due to it being out of stock pretty much everywhere. So basically, buy at your own risk. You might get one that works or one that deflates. The patches mean nothing since you have NO IDEA where the hole might be, or if it’s just a ... MoreI originally bought this product last year and it held up all summer long.

It's a decent inflatable pool. It's deep and big enough that my wife and I can get into it to cool off with room to spare while laying down. However, it does not keep its shape all the time. The upper ring will go wider than the bottom ring. We bought a small water pump so we can empty it into the grass from our patio. It holds a lot of water!!!!
