| Cons:
Storage case to small to fit into easly. Material has already ripped The kids do have alot of fun playing on the slide, but it is way to difficult to fold up and put into the storage bag provided. We have to pull it in and out of the garage and have only had it 1 month it already has holes

Rips and tears in just over one month I bought this thing just over a month ago and paid $400 for it. It has come apart at the seams and is not inflating properly any longer. It is not worth the money especially after your kids love it and then it's a broken piece of junk in your backyard and they can't use it. I am trying desperately to find a number to call the manufacturer to file a complaint but can't seem to find one! I am so upset that I threw $400 down the toilet!

SEAMS BREAK,LOOSES AIR GARBAGE I am reading over everybody's review and I myself can see where they are coming from!! We bought this last year and lasted all summer long,took it out 2 weeks ago and push the button to start it and poof their goes the seam,so we sewed it with tough needle + thread only to find that all the top layers have little holes all over it and is no longer stong for 2 kids..I can let my daughter (6 years old)go down it herself but what fun is that?? Tried e-mailing the company no response and the 1800# is busy everyday no matter what time I try WHAT A SCAM~!!!

Fun for kids for twelve uses |

|
| Cons:
NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT Had for two months, stored then for winter, brought back out, disentegrated from inside out. Contacted ToyQuest, the manufacturer, told me literally "TOO BAD". Wasted 300.00 on a toy that only lasted 12 USES!! What a joke. They only offer 30 day warranty. Will never purchase any products made by toyquest, or the Manley Toy Group again.. Believe me, I buy alot of toys for my 7 yr. old twins.. Well, they will NOT get any more of their products again!!! They are thieves. All they care about is the bottom line, and hate dealing with the consumers!! Try and call, busy signals. Probably other complaints!!

Pros:
GREAT IDEA, GREAT FUN |
|
|
|
| Cons:
TERRIBLE QUALITY & MANUFACTURER DOESN'T CARE I LOVED this product and THEN it started with holes from moving it across something lightly with just regular use, nothing crazy. I have two girls and they didn't get too knarly with it. We made it through the first Summer stored it for winter, fine no problem. Then the next Summer it just started to fall apart, we patched it up over and over until it just started to sag and hang to one side. $400.00 is not something I pay for something and not expect to get excellent use out of it. When I called Manley to find out what to do or could we get another one, the company, put me on hold and ignored my messages, so I'm surprised that they are still selling this slide without making some big changes in QUALITY. By the looks of it this is not an isolated problem. I'd buy another water slide if they were disposable and it cost 50 bucks, then I could trash it each Summer and buy a new one just for the Summer because they are disposable after a Summer. Sorry Manley, poor product.

The kids love it |

| Cons:
The slide could be bigger What a great investment! We purchased ours a little over a month ago and have used it every weekend. Set up is a snap and the break down isn't too hard. The kids have a great time and so do the adults (if they fall under the weight restrictions). It's fun for the whole family!

Coming apart after 2 months, makes yard extremely muddy I bought this for my kids birthday about 2 months ago. They love it but about 2 weeks ago it started coming apart at the seams at first, now its like that all over it, leaks air so much that a child that weighs 70 pounds cant sit on the top without it losing to much air. If it wouldve even lasted 2 summers I would have said it was worth it, but this only 2 months. Def. not worth the money, and my kids arent big kids at all we are talking a 5 and 10 year old that the most the oldest one weighs is 60. Maybe I just got one that was bad. But there is no way to even patch it because its not just a few its everywhere coming apart in the material, i would only recomend this if you have $300 to blow on 2 months. The kids did have a fun 2 months though!! It also of course makes a big mud pit at the bottem from the water and right around where they climb up, but thats to be expected when you are constantly running the water. It gets so muddy that you sink when you walk by the bottem

Its a scam, seam tore after 1 day... I bought the Banzai Blast Slide and I still had the same problmes...what a piece! My seams tore after the first day. I have a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old who played on it for 4 hours. The next day, it didn't inflate to its fullest and after close inspection, I noticed the entire seam at the bottom of the slide started to tear. Never did get through to customer service after hours of trying, always busy. I am filing a complaint with the BBB and getting my credit card company to recoup the charges. I am also having my attorney look into a class action since this does seem to be a case of scam. Please post if you may be interested recouping your investment.

Cons:
the seams rip, improper inflation We bought this slide last summer for our then 3 yr old son. He was having such a blast on the neighbors slide that we decided to get one. Last summer it was great! Even hubby and I went down a few times. (We are both under the weight limit.)
We live in Michigan, so we're only able to use it for about 12 wks. during the summertime. Packed it up, stored it, pulled it out this summer, and after 2 weeks of use this season, our now 4yr son couldn't even sit at the top without it starting to deflate. I patched a few small holes, and upon further inspection, found that most, if not all, of the seams along the bottom are tearing. Not the thread that the seams are sewn with, but the material itself is pulling apart. I've used probably $50 worth of patching kits (the glue they give you isn't enough to do anything with because the tube is so tiny) and it still won't inflate enough. Customer service is a joke! They told me i could either sew the seams back together with fishing line, or buy a new one. Don't waste your money to only get one season of use out of it. It's not worth it.

Packing to store for winter My 3 very rough boys love it. I have had this for 1 year. It just tore today, not at a seam. As I said, my boys are rough! I have had 15 kids on this at once, and some go over the weight requirements. My children and their friends have pulled on the handles, wrestled on it, and jumped on it. I has already been worth the investment. We live in Alabama, it is so hot here. We leave it in the backyard for 6 months out of the year and never pack it up. Have fun!
