BOUNTECH Inflatable Water Slide, 8-in-1 Dual Slides Kids Water Park Jump Castle, Water Slides Inflatables for Outdoor with Splash Pool, Water Slide Bounce House for Big Kids Backyard Party Gifts

Kids love it!

My kids so enjoyed this. It’s durable, and lasted us 2 summers!

Out of the box, we had no problems with stitching or setup. The sprayer hoses were not detailed in the directions, but the A-B-C Velcro pads made setup pretty intuitive. We honestly filled the “pool” areas with our hose straight away because the little kids did not like the sprinklers on above the slides.We let three kids loose on it aged 3, 4 &6… 40-50 pounds each…. Probably ranging in height from 3’4” to 3’10” tall… three kids was a good number playing at once- maybe four of that age range would also be fine but beyond that it would probably seem crowded. With three little kids, it never seemed crowded and there was almost no waiting or bumping into one another.We ordered the inflatable slide/bouncer without the included 780 blower- and purchased a 950 blower of the same brand instead. We thought a little more pressure- which it is at the top end of the range it is rated for- would be nice. I think that increased the cost by only $20.Our older kid is 3, and I hope this will last us a good 3-4 yrs. It is rated for kids up to 100 lbs but I have my doubts as to how well it would work well with multiple big kids playing on it.A couple reasons I chose this model- the long “trench” at the bottom of the big slide kept the kids contained - while other models said a short space at the bottom of the slide meant kids often hit the side and flipped out. The long “trench” was perfect.The small slide will be nice for our younger baby and cousins- little toddlers who can’t climb the bigger slide but can still play in a few inches of water.And the fact that EVERYTHING is self contained- no exiting the pool area to enter the bounce house from outside, or climb the slide from outside- meant a lot less grass and dirty feet in the water. Of course there was some- but the fact that the kids initially got in and never exited the inflatable for the first 30 min meant the water stayed much, much cleaner!Dumping and drying was easy- especially after reading recommendations to prop the inflatable up off the ground (we used lawn chairs) and leave the blower on. Drying took maybe 2 hrs. Rolling up was easy, and we opted to store in a big Tupperware bin instead of the bag.Will try to update after some time and more use… but first setup and use proved to be excellent!

I purchased this 5 weeks ago and everything was great for about 4 uses. The truth is, water leaks into the unit due to the type of stitching, so in order to dry it out, you have to run the blower each day in the blazing sun for about 7-8 days. Only then will the copious amount of water (which leaked inside) be able to dry so you don't have mold inside the unit. We set it up again, following the instructions carefully. Somehow, there is a large hole on one side of the unit due to the thin material. We have only let very little kids play on it, no adults, like in other reviews. I tried to reach out to Costzon, the seller, and Amazon is refusing to let me. When I purchased it, it said I had until August 9th to return if I had issues, when I selected "replace damaged item" it now read, "The return window closed on July 20th" which is not what I was originally told. Now I have a very very very expensive bounce/water slide with a hole and still have to run the blower for at least seven more days until the water inside finally dries out so I can pack it up. I was so hoping it would be awesome. The play factor was amazing while it lasted, the customer service, so far, is non-existent, and the durability is not functional, while the functionality is not durable...yikes! Run away!

The media could not be loaded. When we purchased the Bountech Sweet House (Model: 8266) a few years ago, our children loved playing with it in our backyard. However, despite the great opportunities it afforded for parents to interact with the kids, it was unbearable to play under the hot sun when no shade was available. My wife and I sought out a bounce house that could also serve as a water playground, and we looked at MANY with varying price ranges. We ultimately decided to get another Bountech -- this time with a small Pool and 2 slides for the older and younger kids.PROS- TONS of fun playing due to a variety of interconnected play spaces-- Jumping area-- Smaller, adjacent slide for the very little ones-- Long, tall slide (accessed via a wall that's climbable for children aged 4+)--- Water feature to turn it into a waterslide-- Inflated throughout to keep kids from hitting the ground, except for the pool and play zones-- Climbing wall was made of a more solid cloth material than the rest of the Castle for better longevity- Can accommodate 3-5 children (manual recommends ages 3-10)-- Maximum weight capacity: 300 lbs-- Manual advises kids to be no more than 100 lbs, though I was able to lay in the jump area just fine at 200 lbs--- I was also able to go onto the slide, though barely. The top of the slide did collapse backwards on me once and only slowed because it was staked down- Feels and looks sturdy and well made- Mesh netting on all sides of the jumping area keeps children safely inside- Very easy to set up-- Inflates quickly (in 54 seconds!)-- Deflates fairly quickly (within 5 minutes) and folds somewhat compact- More economical than rentals because you would own it after a few uses- Can be used indoor and outdoor, though our house is not nearly big enough for it inside-- Grassy/soft area is recommended, but if used on concrete, be sure to remove any sharp objects that could potentially puncture the bouncer-- Caution: Be aware that the bounce house should be staked down to prevent tipping, ESPECIALLY the slide area!- Storage bag for the bounce house is included, though not for the air blower-- Bag is solid and sufficiently large- Included accessories-- Stakes to hold down the bouncy house-- Repair kit-- Tubes for connecting to a waterhose or outlet- Manual was easy to understandNote: I did not yet test the water feature as I did not want to spend time drying the bounce house. However, from past experience, I do know that they dry fairly quickly under the sun by tilting the whole product slightly for water to pool in one spot. I then wipe that area as dry as possible and let the sun do its thing before deflating and putting away.CONS- Air Blower was NOT included. Recommend getting at least 735W for safety-- A 735W blower can be operated off a battery power station-- Using about 700W, bouncer could last for approximately:--- 80 minutes with Jackery Explorer 1000--- 2 hours with Goal Zero Yeti 1500x-- You should keep the blower away from anything that could catch on fire or get it wet in any way (ironically, the product is a waterpark)- Heavy, but lighter than commercial bounce houses- Takes more time to clean, dry, and put away when using water, especially the hoses- Initial investment is pricey, but becomes worthwhile in the long run without having to rent one- Top of slide could tip over if 2 or more kids (or a heavy adult like me) occupy that space-- Underscores need to stake down the slide to prevent bounce house from tipping over- Deflated bounce house can take up a lot of space-- You have to really squeeze every bit of air out so it would become compact enough- Requires constant, adult supervision so children play responsibly and bouncer would not fail in a serious way- May be too large for some areas with its humongous sizeTIPS- Always stake down these parts:-- Bounce house so it would not tip over or get easily blown away by strong gusts of wind--- Children pinned under a bounce house could suffocate and be seriously injured (or worse!)-- Air blower so it would not overturn and overheat--- Blower must continuously be running. Bouncer’s seams will let small amounts of air out to ensure it would not overinflate-- Slide could tip over if heavier children climb up onto itWARNING: Always, always stake down the bounce house and air blower to minimize risk of serious injury!- Supervise children at ALL times-- A bounce house could cause serious injury!-- Caution: Do NOT let children play in the bouncer when it is not fully inflated- Have children take their shoes off when playing in the bounce houseSETUP- Sweep the area for any sharp objects- Unfold the bounce house over a flat (preferably soft, yet sturdy) ground- Attach the yellow hose to the air blower and ensure it is velcroed tight-- Check that blower has sufficient clearance all around it--- Keep it away from anything that could catch on fire or get it wet-- Secure the blower with 4 stakesCaution: Make sure the air blower is secured to the ground with stakes to minimize the risk of tipping over!- Plug in the blower and turn it on-- Ensure the yellow hose has no kinks (having it be straight will ensure maximum air flow)- Once the bouncer has fully inflated (takes about 33 seconds), secure it with the 4 included stakes- Move the air blower as needed to ensure the yellow hose has no kinks- Let the blower run continuously- Bouncer will let small amounts of air out to ensure it would not overinflateCaution: Air hose should have NO kink so that maximum air flow keeps bounce house firmTEARDOWN- Caution: Ensure NO CHILDREN are still in the bounce house-- Double check this! Kids pinned inside/under a bouncer could suffocate to death!- If WATER was used, tilt the product from the bouncer side so water escapes from the pool area-- Be SURE to not let any water escape towards the air blower!-- Continue tilting until most of the water has pooled into one spot. Wipe it dry and let the sun continue drying the product- Once dry, turn off the air blower and unplug it from the AC outlet- Bouncer will deflate on its own within minutes- Fold the bouncer length-wise in half, squeezing any remaining air out-- Fold in half again and again (length-wise) until the width is the same as the carry bag-- Roll it while squeezing every bit of air out-- Tie the rolled bounce house to keep it from re-inflating or unfolding- Clean the stakesTip: Bounce house must be fully deflated, rolled up tightly, and tied in order for it to fit in the included carry bagCONCLUSIONThe Bountech Waterslide was a good investment. I expected my kids to love this one over all the others I had previously purchased, and they did indeed. Adding water into the mix would certainly increase the fun level by multiple factors, and I cannot wait until the time I will be able to set that up for them. As it stands, it had been fun on its own without the water feature.Its dimensions fit our backyard perfectly, and seeing the children enjoy themselves during this pandemic has helped bring some normalcy into their lives when playgrounds all have been shut down for some time. More importantly, it should be able to provide much-needed relief from the hot, summer sun once I put water into play.Nothing brings my wife and I more joy than seeing our kids laugh and smile their hearts out as they bounce around, slide down, and chase one another.
