User Submitted Banzai Falls Original Water Slide Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-01-07 Fun, but doesn't last We bought this slide last year ('06) for our two kids, ages six and four. It lasted one summer. The kids loved it while it lasted, but through the summer, the mesh material underneath started deteriorating and it got periodic rips in it, which we patched. By the end of the summer, the entire center part between the slides ripped into a gaping hole (about two and a half feet in length). The slide's material was paper thin. When I called the manufacturer, I received no satisfaction. Those customer service representatives are clearly trained to admit nothing and give no concessions. I would strongly recommend against buying this slide, unless you want to throw your money away. It is fun, but over $400 for just one season is not worth it. By the end of the summer, the kids were so frustrated at having to wait to use the slide until the patches dried, they barely used it. Date: 2006-09-28 No problems here I bought one of these in 2004. We had a problem with the hose that brings the water to the top, but it has since been redesigned. The company replaced ours with the newer version. We used it about 10 times last summer and put it away after each use. This summer it was such a hit that we just left it out. It was used almost every day,and was inflated for 1-2 hours a day. Its still in perfect working condition. I don't have a single complaint! My son is only 50 lbs and he plays on this with 220 lb daddy so it holds a lot of weight. Date: 2006-08-27 banzai falls My kids and the neighborhood kids all loved the slide however the seams blew out after 1 season and now it is going in the trash. This product is not made to last!! Date: 2006-08-25 Banzai Falls Water Slide What a bummer. We just threw ours away. This would be a really cool toy if only it worked. We got it a year ago for my kids' birthday. 1 week later we were trying to track down the manufacturer because the fabric was delaminating. After getting in touch with the manufacturer, we were advised to cut off the label and they would replace the slide. Cool deal. We got the new slide. A week later it was failing again. Again we contacted the manufacturer. This time, however, we were told, too bad. Only one replacement per customer. I have been sewing the seams and patching them with liquid rubber to get it to work. Every time it is used, out comes the repair kit. After a winter in the garage, we go through the same thing. Now the blower failed. It is a great idea and I am looking to replace it with a similar product. Maybe one that actually holds air and water. Not only is it kinda pricey, but it is really a drag to tell the kids it is broken. Date: 2006-08-02 Love this slide!!!!! I bought this slide for my two young kids.....they LOVE it!!! We have a swimming pool but they are on this more often than the pool. The only problem I have had is a tear in one of the seams...it took 3 days to be able to get through to the company's customer service. Once I got through, it took 5 minutes and a new slide is being sent to my house. I do reccomend buying an extended warranty with this product ( toys r us sells it) the manufacturers warranty is for 90 days....that will give you 1 summer. Toys R Us will give you another 2 summers with their warranty.
