Title: Middle school field day
Review: I bought several of these to use for a baseball slip and slide. Middle school field day. I was surprised they did not rip with rough Middle schoolers. Based on other people's reviews of this I thought they would not hold up, but they did. Lift up the flaps and steak them down. I used those metal "upside-down U-shaped" tent steaks.

Title: We Like Our Slip-n-Slide
Review: We looked to Amazon to replace our 5 year old Slip-n-Slide. I almost didn't buy it because all of the negative reviews. All I wanted was to replace the old one which finally gave up the ghost and blew out the end seam after one of the kids jumped up in the air and landed on the water filled end cushion like a cannonball. The magical duct tape worked for a bit as an emergency MacGyver fix. The other thing was the 2 slide boogies (their words, not mine) leaked persistently which duct tape couldnt even begin to slow because of the shape of the seams. We bought the first one at the local SuperChain store. Time for a new one... So I started the Amazon search and found lots of negative comments. The picture shown on the site looked different so I thought they must have redesigned it and cheaped out on materials based on the problems others experienced. Trusting Amazon and their return policies (heck they deliver our groceries for goodness sake) I decided to splurge the $18 or so dollars and see how it all turned out. We use Amazone Prime so we received it within 2 days and the kids anxiously awaited the brand spankin' new slide and boogies. Out of the box the vinyl feels slightly less robust than our old one and a bit thinner. I put it out in the yard, connected the hose, and turned on the water. So far, so good. The side sprays did not seem to spray up as high as the previous one - only about 2 feet as compared to 3 feet on the old one - presumably because their are more holes. My first thought was "Oh no, the other reviews are right, it needs more water pressure, we are dead in the uhhhh H2O." The thought of disappointing the kids by emptying it out, letting it dry, trying to fit it back into the box (yeah good luck with that), and returning it, went through my mind. I came to my senses and said to myself, "Myself, don't be a silly man. It was $18 bucks. For that significant layout of cash you must give it some time." Sorry to keep you on the edge of your seats but more details should be provided. We live in the Yuppy suburban outskirts of Seattle (so the slip-n-slide is only used for about 3 months a year), we have good water pressure (I actually considered for the sake of this review getting a 5 gallon bucket and giving you and exacting measurement of our water flow rate - but I just couldn't muster the energy. Maybe sometime when I am done with my macramey cat pillow. Just joking. It is for the dog), we have three kids 4,5, and 8 so small in size and consequent abuse of the slide. Ok back to how it all turned out... The water flow was good. The jets that shoot off the side required a little adjustment so that the water flowed onto the slide rather than half on the slide and half on the lawn. Easy cheesy - just lift up the water filled side tube while the water sprays you in the face and point the jets towards the slide. No batteries required. We use the slide on a flat lawn. Because of the increased flow of water through the side and end spray jets the latest model accumulates water much better than the old one. The entire slide is quickly covered with water so that when the kids slide on it, they move quite a bit of water around making it that much more fun. I surveyed the kids and it was unanimous, they love it. We have used it now for 6 or 8 weeks and it works perfectly. No leaks, good water flow, good slippity funtastic time had by all.

Title: Ok, but not as good as in the past .
Review: I had something similar 20 yrs ago and it was great so I bought this one expecting the same quality . It's not . It doesn't spray the water very well and after only using it twice, a seam is splitting. It still works, but I don't recommend purchasing this .

Title: Regret Purchase & Waste of Money.
Review: Seen the reviews but I thought to myself “how bad could it actually be? It’s a slip and slide.” Anchors don’t stay in the ground and come right out after 1 or 2 attempts to slide after setting it up. It’s for a 6 and 9 year old. Not sure if we got a “dud” but the water barely comes out the side or end. We ended up unhooking the hose from it and put our long banzai kid sprinkler along the side instead (shoots water out way better). I tried the soap trick I seen in a review and even then they slide maybe 2 feet. Today is our first time using it.. Needless to say next summer I’m looking up a DIY slip and slide from Pinterest.. This one is a joke. Save your money because you’ll just be disappointed. It’s not the slip and slide I remember using as a kid.

Review: 小学生低学年向き。高学年だとあっという間に滑ってしまい物足りない。家で遊ぶには充分。噴水があり、楽しめるが、、、水道代はかかる。。。どっか連れていかなくていいので田舎で庭が広いのでよいと思う。庭は車2台分のスペースあった方がよい。滑る所の緑色と黄色のシートが何ヵ所すぐ破けてしまったがが遊べるし、不具合ない。マイナス１かな。下には人工芝生敷いたが小さく亀裂はいったので分厚いものがよかったと思う。
