Banzai Hydro Blast Inflatable Outdoor Water Slide Park for Backyard, Ages 5+, Blue/Red

I'm giving this a five-star rating. I read all the one-star reviews, and I'll add comments about them.Before I review, if you buy this, I want you to remember that 4 & 5 are the guns. Remember, 4 & 5 are the guns. Remember that.On to the review:It's easy to set up, and only requires one person, even to lift it. It is heavy, but not crazy. I keep it on a red flyer wagon to move it back and forth between my garage. As for the grass, it does not hurt the grass from using it (assuming you take it down after use). You dont need a tarp under it. It takes a few hours to dry, so plan accordingly. You can leave it deflated, and then dry the next day with no fear of mold. The drain hole is in the back. If you have a slight slope, you'll want the back facing down the slope. The material is the typical bounce house grade. The pool section is bounce house grade with rubberizing to hold in the water. If you have bounce houses this will be a standard bounce house set up for you. The "speed slides" are no steeper than slides at playgrounds. I'm not sure why people are complaining. It is true that there is no padding at the bottom. This only affects heavier kids or adults. Little kids skim on by. To counteract this for larger kids, just place a blanket under each slide once it's inflated but not full of water. Problem solved. As with any slide, if your kid is going to go down completely squirrely, head first with a friend's foot in their face, they'll get hurt. The drain hole is in the middle towards the back. It doesn't drain well. To drain, I slip a 1.5" pipe under to the hole, and it drains fine. Go to home depot and get a piece of 8' 1.5" pvc pipe before you use this. It's easy to roll up, and while you don't get it the same size as the shipping size, you can get it close. The size is smaller than you think, the pictures make it look bigger than it is. But it is big. My kids will spend HOURS on it. When their friends come over it is a FUN time. I went on it, and it's fine for me. We go to a lot of water parks, and this thing gets as much fun for the kids. While it's expensive, it is a party machine and saves me money from not having to go to water parks. Make sure you buy pool toys, etc. I would not hesitate to buy this again.

This thing is big. Kids loved it super fun for a bday party, I even got in the fun and I’m 190lbs and slide held up perfect for my weight. Set up was super easy and quick, maybe 10 mins max. Stitching that hold the piping for the water canons are a bit weak. One ripped right off when we adjusting it, had to put a patch because air was coming out of it.

The material is thin and the waterslide has a large hole after about 12 uses (children within weight limits). It has been holding water inside the waterslide as well since about 10 uses, making it very difficult to dry out and possibly dangerous since it could back up into the blower during use. I have had other waterslides, including Banzai, something is different about the material this time. They need to be aware it is poor quality, especially for a higher end product.

We got this blow up slide and my kids absolutely loved it. After a couple weeks the blower or maybe somewhere on the blowup messed up and it wouldn't stay blown up the way it should and kinda deflated when you got on it so was not able to use it. I contacted there company and they immediately responded and sent a replacement and made it hassle free. For me and kids we loved this one I'm hoping for sure this one will not do the same but I'm confident in this company to make it right when there is a problem and alot of companies I would worry about. You won't regret this blow up it's perfect for kids and they will absolutely love it. When you read a review saying how terrible some blow ups are just know yes you may end up with a problem there big hold air and water but if you pic the right brand and company you can at least know your not getting screwed out of money and you will get it resolved if there is a issue. My kids absolutely love this one.

I purchased this item just over 1 year ago. My children have had an absolute blast playing. I've kept it stored in a dry environment when not being used. I ensured the product was dry prior to storing. Just recently, It will no longer hold the weight of my 3 and 5 year old. I checked for leaks and saw 2 small areas that I patched. I have checked the entire pool multiple times and do not see any other leaks or issues. I paid way too much for this to only last 1 year. The pool we used prior to this one lasted over 4 years before the bottom was worn through and would no longer hold water. I am incredibly disappointed in this product. Our previous inflatable pool was only $300 and had 2 slides. I wrote the company a week ago and have not heard anything back regarding warranty. I will update if I get any feedback from the company. At this point I will not purchase this item ever again.
