Loads of fun FOR THE KIDS!!!4
My 6 year old daugher and her friends absolutely love The Plunge.

I'm not such a fan, let me explain:
* It take 1.5 to 2 hours to fill the pool up with enough water to use it.
* The pool does not stay inflated, so you have to drain it every time.
* The manufacturer recommends leaving it out for 48 hours to dry.

If they had simply made a way to inflate the pool part and leave it that way so that you could simply turn on the pump and it would be ready to go, then that would have made a huge difference in my opinion.

The only one to get!5
We have owned 4 or 5 of the banzai water slides over the past 3 years. A couple didnt last more than a season and a couple got returned. This one is by far, the best weve had! The huge pool at the bottom makes the whole slide!

We just had my daughters 5th birthday party and there were over 20 kids on this for 3-4 hours (ages 4 thru 10). I thoroughly inspected it afterwards and could see no signs of damage. Believe it or not, one of the dads at the party pulled out his iPhone and ordered one of these right from our backyard! Everyone was so impressed with it.

Today, my son and his friends (ages 7 thru 10) put it to the test and again, it held up beautifully. Let me tell you, they really, really had fun! You know how rough boys this age get! They even used mini boogie-boards on it!

Yes, it uses alot of water and therefore you are hesitant to turn it off until you are certain the kids are done for the day (when you turn it off all the water pours out)Weve had the fan blowing for 7-8 hours straight with no problems! We usually fill the pool for about an hour before we allow the kids on it, they say its much more fun when the pool is full. We leave it out on the grass to use the next day, but we move its location so it doesnt kill the grass. If we arent going to use it for a few days, we blow it up and let it dry (without the water) and then fold it up. No, it absolutely will not fit in the tiny bag it comes in, but we use a plastic toy box and its no problem.

Go for it!

Great fun, poor design.3
I give this product 3 stars for one simple reason -- poor product design. The pool and slide are tons of fun for my four-year-old daughter and her friends (and mom and dad too), but the amount of energy and water wasted is horrifying. The pool is big and takes considerable time to fill with water. The pool and slide are inflated by one blower that must run constantly. You cannot turn off the blower (deflate slide) and continue to play in the pool. Therefore, you must empty the pool everytime you turn off the blower. With a little common sense, the manufacturer would have designed some way to be able to leave the pool inflated (and filled with water). How disappointing.
