Review 1 for Banzai Big Curve Plunge Inflatable Water Slide Park

Great product for the price!

Did some research on these types of outdoor slides. Most all were twice to three times the price of this one so my concern, at first, was that this would be a very cheap looking and lasting product. Boy, was I wrong. The blower is very powerful and inflates the slide in minutes. It's very easy to set up but my advice, READ INSTRUCTIONS. The only con in all this is the bag they give you to store the slide in.... yeah, right! :) Just like sleeping bags and tents. We found that folding the slide in half then rolling up into a ball then sitting on a tarp, works best. The kids love this product and I'm sure we will use it for years to come.

This was a very expensive purchase, after one week the hose connecting the water broke. I attempted to contact the company and sent them pictures or the broken piece and never heard from them again. Unsure if able to return to Walmart store but banzai customer service is nearly non existent. I do not recommend this product.

Excellent product, good quality and very very fun, I'd only recommend you read measurements and suitable ages/weight, it is an inflatable anyway and my 9yr old kid doesn't quite enjoy it much because he can barely slide down... otherwise, awesome product!

I haven't been able to put it away in bag that it came with because it's so big and directions say to thoroughly dry which i tried but it's hard to get all the water out. Also my kids have used it less than five times and it's already not filling up as much as its supposed to. the part that connects the water hose to the hose on the pool also keeps popping off. It was a good value instead of renting a water slide but as far as keeping it and being able to reuse it it's not really practical.

We love the Banzai water slide, its big enough for adults to play on also. The pool at the bottom of the slide is so big it gives the kids enough room to play as other kids are sliding down. The two water sprayers are awesome and they spray great distance. All in all its a great buy for my family.

We bought this item for our son and daughter's joint birthday. We ended up with about 20 kids (5-7 y/o) on it for about 3 hours. Everyone loved it. It is so large that everyone thought it was a rental.
I can't wait to try it out myself! It blows up super fast. Uses A LOT of water. The kids enjoy it. It was a bit expensive but we figured we could use it all summer instead of spending just a bit less and only getting a rental for one day.

This product is better quality than i thought it would be, my kids love it. The dimensions were way off and only has one slide, the discription that is given is from another Banzi slide, not this one....but overall its a great purchase, what makes my kids happy, makes me happy :) The only thing i didn't like was that the water that has been put in, all comes out when you turn the blower off :( still love it!!!!

Daughter loves IT!!

I just ordered this for my daughter for her up coming 6th birthday party. We had another Banzai Water slide that we used for the last 4 years. Last summer we had to put it to rest. LOL! We put the new slide up to make sure nothing was wrong with it before her birthday and she played on it with a friend for 5 hours. I had to make them get out. At first I was sad because we couldnt find one like our old one and was kind of worried this one would not be as big due to what everyone keeps saying about the size. However it is everything we could of hoped for and more. I just hope it will last as long as the other.

My 3 kids, ages 4,6 & 8, love it!

I got this on sale and it was well worth the money!! I found it easier for my first set-up to inflate it a little bit to find the correct spots to place the two sprayers (top inside of the slide and on the gun at the end of the slide). It's basically 2 hoses that are connected and have a balloon shaped pad, with multiple holes, on each end and is secured by Velcro. It fully inflated in about 30 seconds and the directions didn't state where the quick air release was located that you strap shut tightly so we had to find it after the initial inflation, which is toward the end of the slide. I also like the fact that it has a fairly long power cord.
There is quite a bit of water loss like everyone stated but our lawn could use the water. Of course water gets in the seams, it's inflatable! It is made of a parachute type vinyl material which is very durable so far. You do need to inflate it after you let the water out, which isn't that hard either, so it can fully dry out before you put it up. It comes with a carry case but since we use it everyday I haven't had the need to see if it will actually fit inside it.
It would be nice if they had some type of water pump to recycle the water instead of wasting because our kids play on it so long every day that I have to let water out every so often, but I also turn the water pressure down so it doesn't spray as much.
It's not really a big deal but almost every time I have to adjust and re-position the sprayer at the top of the slide, even though it wasn't touched before or after I turned the blower off, because sometimes its too high and sprays outside of the slide (wasting more water). I don't really like the spray gun either because I can't seem to get it positioned anywhere else except toward the steps which are outside of the pool or end of the slide and my kids (ages 4, 6 and 8 years old) don't like being sprayed in the face so I usually just have to leave it hanging down toward the pool.
I use a tarp by the steps so they don't get mud and grass all over it. It also comes with stakes but I couldnt get them in the ground (maybe because the ground was so hard from the lack of rain and high temps in Oklahoma) so I used some thinner metal ones I already had and just secured the area around the slide/steps because the water holds the pool area secure enough for me.
All in all we love it and I would've given it 5 stars except for the little things that I mentioned.

Fun though produce does not last!

We bought this inflatable water slide last summer and my kids had a blast with it. We stored the slide as the directions said during the winter, once it started getting warm we got the inflatable water slide out and the fabric was a joke. While getting it out of the bag and unfolding it we could see places were the fabric was creased and made little tares and impressions in the fabric. This caused issue with holding air. We contacted the company and the company does not stand behind there produce. They told us the product has a 90 day warranty. We did try to patch it though that failed due to so many creases in the fabric which allowed the air to escape. After spending all this money you would think it would last for years and years though it didn't. We know a few people in are subdivision that had the same issue with their inflatable water slides.

We bought this slide for our two four year olds and love it. I particularly like the fact that the "ladder" up to the slide is on the front of the slide/same side as the pool & slide, so the kids are never out of sight while using the slide. The holes on the ladder are well-spaced for little hands, but not too close to make it difficult for the bigger kids to use. We have had a couple of other slides in the past and found where the hole placement (too far apart) made it too difficult for younger children to climb without assistance. Several children can play on the slide and in the pool at the same time without getting in each other's way. This slide has held up very well and we anticipate getting a few summer seasons of use out of it.

This thing is pefect for about 3 to 10 year olds. The best part is the kids don't have to get out of the pool area to get on the slide (less grass in the water). My kids have enjoyed this all summer and I've had no issues. The biggest key after reading some reviews on these kind of slides...... Take care of it by letting it dry out before storing it away. It's really pretty simple. Side note: I weigh 180 lbs. and went down the slide a couple times, probably not recommended but it still held up. :)

This has a been a great slide for a 4 yr old. I was worried that it was too big for her and she wouldn't like getting water in her face going down the slide. But it has turned out to be the perfect size for her and now she doesn't mind getting her face wet! Our daughter loves it and my husband and I have enjoyed playing with the basketball with her and just watching her slide all summer. Worth every penny for our family this summer!

We were looking for something that was fun for the kids easy to mantain and store and would work with our yard. This is all three. With the included blower it sets up (fills with air in less than 5 min. (takes about 10 min. to fill with water at our house). Taking it down is easy as well, shut the blower off untie the other air port, and the slide and pool deflate, and the water runs out.
Our yard is sloped, so above ground pools don't work, they will not hold up on the down hill side. Everyone asks where we purchased the slide. We have been using it for a month (about ten times total), and we hope it will last for years.

My daughter bought this for my four year old grandson's birthday. We set it up for the family's 4th of July party. It was the bomb! All of the children, ages 2-12, had a fantastic time on it!
This product was well made, right down to the break-away basketball goal! It was easy to set up and maintain.
Great purchase! (BTW...bought in-store for $169+)

I think for the price and the monthly cost for you to fill it up every time you use it is a little to expensive for our middle class family. I have no idea you would have to keep the blower on in order to keep the pool part filled up which took us over two hours to fill up just to have to all empty out the second the blower is turned off. The electricity bills will be high to for this Slide. Great idea but WAY TO EXPENSIVE all in all.

My kids (ages 6 & 2 1/2) LOVE this slide! They beg us to set it up every day! Sets up within minutes once you figure out where you want it to go the first time. It's a little bit cumbersome to take down night after night, but we are willing to make the effort in order for the slide to last. We found this slide at a Wal-Mart near us for $169, so check the stock of the stores near you & call about the price!!!! The only negatives we have found so far are 1) the cord to the blower needs to be a bit longer since you cannot use an extension cord and 2) you have to leave the water running the entire time, but other than those 2 things, we LOVE this slide!!!

Great for younger children!

First of all, not sure why the website has this listed for over $300. The store carries them for $169 all the time. Great deal.
Having said that, I would not spend more than what I paid on this particular slide. I have a 6 year old daughter who weighs in at around 45lbs. This slide is the absolute bomb for her! She loves it!!! My son is 11, and is of average wieght and he is too big for it. I believe the box rated it for 150lbs total and each user should not exceed 100lbs.
Set up took about an hour by the time you laid it out, staked it down and got the water flowing. I would suggest purchasing some metal tent stakes to hold it down. All but two of the stakes that came with the slide broke while hammering them in the (not hard) ground!
We have had the slide set up for about a week and it gets used every single day. I am thinking about puchasing the water recycler because you have to keep the hose going while it's being used and it wastes a lot of water and never warms up! It's a drag that the pool section drains out each time you turn the blower off too.
Anyway, long story short, great buy for the little ones!
