I was very leary about buying this product for my grandchildren (ages: 6 yr old girl and two 7 yr old boys) due to the fact that they play rough with their toys. Well, I have to admit as rough as what they have been with this water slide it has held up wonderfully. It is very easy to set up, it takes about 10 minutes. They have used it at least a dozen times and when they play on it , it's for hours at a time. This was the best toy I have bought for these kids and it has held up wonderfully. It was well worth the money and Wal-Mart was also the best price I could find anywhere online.

Tons of fun

We recently purchased this for our 4 year old son. We are having lots of fun (husband and I too) sliding down the slide. Had several friends over and they love it too. We have only had the slide for a couple weeks so not sure how durable it is and not sure how easy it will be to totally dry out and pack away for the season. Once you unplug the blower you better be prepared for lots of water to come pouring out. That did surprise me some. So far we are really enjoying.

A Blast for the Kids

This is my first purchase of an inflatable waterslide. I am very impressed with the whole thing, the blower is very powerful and keeps the whole inflatable in solid form throughout playtime. First time set up was easy but the takedown is another story...getting the water drained is difficult and then folding it down to the size of the included storage bag is next to impossible. I just use a large rubbermaid plastic storage container and that works...no need to stress about it cause it's coming right back out in a few days anyway :) I did all the work myself so maybe with another person to help, the teardown may have been easier. The kids loved it and would have stayed out there all day long if I let them. I bought this on walmart.com and was glad that they shipped to an APO address - no problem and no extra charge! Thank you Walmart for supporting the military families this way!

We purchased this slide for my daughter's 3rd birthday. We have used it 4 times so far and it has totally exceeded our expectations. The huge pool can easily fit 4 adults with plenty of room to spare. My husband is 295 and he was able to climb up the slide (not the ladder) and slide down. When we used it at the birthday party there were 12 children ranging in age from 11 months to 12 years old playing on it. There are a few downsides: 1.) because of it's enormous size the clean up is time consuming. It does take a few hours to clean it and let it dry before rolling it up. Two people are definitely needed for this process. 2.) The mess it leaves in the yard. The grass dies in the area which the slide was sitting and the yard is flooded when we turn of the blower, these two things were expected though. 3.) The pool is not connected to the climbing wall so we put down a tarp for the kids to walk on to keep mud and grass out of the pool. Even with these minor downsides, we would totally buy it again. I read alot of reviews before we purchased this one and some people spoke of dry rotting, but hopefully we dried ours enough to keep this from happening.

We set this up this past weekend for our 3 and 5 year old boys and they LOVED it!! The setup was minimal and easy. It's a nice size as 3 of the neighbor kids came to use it and there was plenty of room. The pool took about 45 minutes to fill and then we let the sprayer on the slide fill the remainder so the boys could start using it. So far, we are very happy. We mainly purchased it for a birthday party in a few weeks because we couldn't see renting a water slide for the same price and only getting 6 hours use out of it.

Lots of backyard fun!

We've had this for about a month and have used 4 times. It's easy and quick setup. My 6 year old LOVES it, my 3 year old likes it but doesn't like the water squirting everywhere so sometimes we kink the hose to turn off the water cannon or turn the water off all together. The pool at the bottom is pretty large which is great for my 3 & 1 year old to splash around in but takes well over an hour to fill to a decent level and then wastes a lot of water at the end of the day when you deflate it. We live in a very hot climate and have to water our lawn daily so I've just moved it around to recycle the water into the areas of the lawn that need it. Overall, super fun and does keep them occupied for a long time!

Review 8 for Banzai Typhoon Twist Inflatable Water Slide
For my daughter's first birthday, I wanted the kids to have something to keep them busy. This slide definitely came in handy for that. I called the local places up to rent one and they want 250 dollars a day. So if you buy this and get 2 uses, your already getting your money's worth. Great buy and a great slide. Was also surprisingly easy to put away after we were done. Definitely make sure it is completely dry before you put it away.

So far so good....the reviews were very helpful and we found everything to be true to what the consumers had to say....do have a small hole in a seam but doesn't seem to be getting larger...doesn't affect the water slide or air coming out. Not anticipating years of wear but it will be fun while it lasts!

Review 13 for Banzai Typhoon Twist Inflatable Water Slide
We actually purchased this item based on all the other reviews given for it and I must say, we were not disappointed. This Inflatable Water Slide is great for the kids. We have 3 kids we bought this for and they range from age 13, 8 & 5. All of them were able to climb and go down the slide with no problems. Since the older child is 13 and does weigh over 100 lbs we did make sure he was the only one climbing and going down the slide "just in case" but there didnt seem to be any problems with his size or weight climbing up or going down the slide. We are very pleased with this slide and would be happy if we got at least 2 summers out of it if not more. The only con of course would be filling the thing. It does take quite awhile but Im sure it was worth it to the kids. You cant go wrong with this summer water slide :)

This was a lot of fun for all of my children and nephews!! It was very easy to set up and looked just like I thought it would. The slide works much better for smaller riders but I was even able to take my baby down it without it collapsing...I guess that says it all!! Hopefully this slide will provide our family with a whole lot more fun for this and many summers to come!!

Cool way to play!

We had a smaller inflatable last year and loved it, so we went with a larger one this year. This is a fun slide with a large pool which has plenty of room for adults to sit and cool off in. If you typically water lawn it is a great way to do it. If not, the amount of water may disappoint the conservation-minded. Inflatables dump the water every time you shut off the compressor. You have to leave the compressor running even while kids take a break to keep the water, but the equipment seems to hold up well. This pool is large and you need a big spot to keep it. (we use a large deck box)
Overall- we like the product and the quality.

We received our Waterslide a few weeks ago and we have been very pleased with our purchase. I shopped many websites for this product, checked cost of shipping, etc., and this was the best buy. It was shipped to our door, it is large, this product is tough, really goes up in 2 minutes or less, takes down even faster, and the best part is that we have NO chemicals to buy! In addition, we bought a 12x24 tarpoline to cover after each use which protects and keeps out airborne debris. We counted the costs, and if we can get one full summer of water playtime at home, then we win! Would I buy it again? Yes.

We have had two other water slides, one a Banzai and another brand. The other Banzai was great but is now rotted so we bought an off brand one and hate it. This one is WONDERFUL. My children absolutely love it. When they go around the corner they have so much fun. The water pool at the bottom is great as my daughter can actually swim in it!!! My oldest is 53" tall and weighs 82 lbs and this is great for her too. My husband is 6'3" tall and this water slide towers over him. I posted a photo of him walking by it so you can see how tall this slide is.

We got this for a party that included young children.The kids 4-10 years old loved it. The 2-3 year olds were afraid of going down the slide, but played for hours in the pool part. It seems well enough made for kids up to 125 lbs. It claims that 180lbs is the weight limit per person, but that seems a bit much. It takes about 1 hour to fill the pool with water, even with 2 garden hoses runing full blast, and it must have at least 8" of water in it before you can use the slide. There is a chamber at the bottom of the slide that needs that much water to create a cushion. This is like a shock absorber at the bottom and is a nice improvement over their orginal slide that had an air chamber. Also you must keep the blower running all the time because once it shuts off the pool sides deflate and most of the water comes out. It dried out pretty quick because this design lets less water get inside the air chambers. We only used it once so far and the kids used it nonstop for 7 hours without any problems. It will be going nonstop again this 4th of July, I'll update then.

I bought this slide two weeks ago and just put it up memorial weekend and loved it! My 4 year old loved it!! The pool area is big enough for three adults to sit in it and relax. I did not fill it up all the way because I knew I had to keep the water on for the slide. It is a lot bigger than I expected especially the pool. I would recommend it to anyone with little kids. I also have a set of two years old twins and my daughter was able to climb the slide. The only downfall was having to get out of the pool to get to the slide. What I did was used an old kiddie pool that I had from before, for them to step in, to remove the grass from their feet before they got on the slide. That idea worked great. It is a lot of work to drain, dry and wrapped up the slide afterward, but it is truly worth it!!
