Customer Rating:      Summary: No one liked it Comment: Well the 3 year olds in my playgroup hated this thing. The elephant slide thing doesn't attach very well and it kept falling over. The pool part is small and the spray part goes nuts.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good pool-definitely worth buy for the price Comment: I bought this pool along with the other spray pool for my one year old. The other one is definitely better but this one looks very cool and is very nice. The spray works very well and is easy to set up. It is smaller than the picture but is good size for my one year old.
Customer Rating:      Summary: toddler mom Comment: I am not satisfied with this item at all. The slide fully deflates within 24 hours and the palm tree deflates within minutes. I've had this item for almost 7 weeks and the actual pool is losing its firmness as well.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Water fun for 1-3 year olds Comment: Like other reviewers of kiddie pools by this company, I found that the photos were all doctored to make the pool appear larger than it really is. Older and bigger children would not enjoy this pool. However, don't let that take away from the fun that your 1 or 2 year old could have with this thing.
The pool comes in two parts, the inflatable pool and the slide attachment. There are three inner compartments to the slide to inflate. Two outer rings of the pool, a cushion at the bottom of the slide, and the tree to inflate on the pool part. So altogether, there are 7 parts to inflate and I'd recommend using a pump. I put it together in about 15 minutes using an electric pump. The slide part ties to the pool using two pieces of string that is included. The set also includes a small adhesive square patch that you can use to patch accidental holes or snags on this plastic pool. (You can cut the patch to the size of the hole, so it can actually be used for several small repairs, if necessary; though duct tape would probably do the job just as well). My pool arrived intact, but has sprung a leak already in the first week. The patch worked fine, but duct tape could probably do just as well (albeit being less beautiful in aesthetic).
The pool would fit 2 or 3 young toddlers pretty easily. There's about 2.5 to 3 feet from the end of the slide to the opposite edge of the pool. The hose attachment that allows for the fountain to spray from the elephant's nose is really cute. Depending on the pressure you allow from the hose, you can have a little sprinkler or a very tall one. The fountain also makes the slide wet so that your little ones slide down into the water, right onto the inflatable cushion that's put into the bottom of the pool.
It doesn't look like the most durable of items, but if you're landlocked, it beats the price of getting to the coast for the beach.
UPDATE: Three weeks later and this pool has sprung so many leaks, I haven't been able to keep up with it. Not worth the trouble.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fun for small children...but Comment: The children love the slide but the cat attacked the pool and it never recovered so we added slide to another pool.
