Great bounce house!
By Jeff Abbott on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2011
We bought this bounce house for our son's 5th birthday - it was a big hit with him, his friends and his two brothers! With three boys, it's getting well-used and holding up great! We haven't tried it with water yet, but are looking forward to it being a great summer toy (if we can just keep all the neighborhood kids from getting on it all at once :) We had one stocky neighborhood boy who weighed the 100 lb. limit get in, and he could bounce ok, but struggled a little to get up onto the slide. He got down the slide fine, but I'd say the weight limit (100 lb individual and 400 lb total) is about right for using the slide. As a 140 lb adult, I could easily navigate the bounce part to help the smaller children if needed. It was also very easy to put up. The flap entrance to the bounce part has velcro to close, so I don't know why some reviewers thought it was unsafe and kids would fall out. The entrances are no different than any commercial bounce house. What I loved was how easy it was to take down. I can do it single-handed in 10 minutes: I followed the instructions for folding it and rolling it up like a sleeping bag, then put it in the large handled case provided. The case is large, so it's not a battle to get it into a tight-fitting case. Very easy!

So far so good
By Mike Carroll on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018
2nd review. Used it all day for a birthday party. Note to manufacturers: YOU NEED TO MAKE THE SLIDE CATCH POOL AT LEAST 2 to 3 FEET LONGER. Everyone slides into the end at high speed. Also all the water from the catch pool splashes out about every two or three kids so the next kid goes flying through with no water to slow him down. Also the little plastic adapter to go from garden hose to the water supply for the slide is junk. It leaks badly. How hard would it have been to have a better quality hose adapter there. Come on! The design is a little flawed so I'm dropping my review to 3 stars. My fix for the splash pool was to get a "Y" splitter. This divides the hose into two. I had one hose going to the water supply for the slide as before and the other hose I put into the slide pool so that it is being filled more rapidly. That improved things. Again no more than 4 kids on this entire object and you're fine and no more than like 75lbs, despite what people say. This thing will tip or collapse. 1st use. So far so good. Two year old boy and 6 year old girl love it. Set up was easy but use a tarp underneath. My main comment is that the slide wet is very fast. Our daughter slams into the end of the tiny little catch pool at high speed. This can’t be good for long term use. I’m shocked nobody else commented on this. Also would NOT recommend for kids over 75 lbs! I think they would destroy this thing in 2 uses. No More than 4 kids at any one time either. Many seams do leak substantially but I think that intentional. It’s not a balloon and air needs to constantly flow. Also recommend emptying it out after deflating then hooking it back up to the blower for an hour to dry.
