hard to get dry.
this slide is great, its fun! adults can get on it too!! the only downfall is if you dont have a place to store it will be difficult and its hard to get it dry after your done with it. we almost always have to put it away damp even after laying it out to dry until the next day. but other then that its great!

Great slide for Summer fun
We purchased the slide at the end of June (2008) and we have used it at least once a week since. The first couple of weeks it was almost every day.
Only issue I have is that I only weight 160 and the climbing wall won't support my weight like it stated it could, but that's OK. We bought it for the kids. If I was able to slide down with them that would have been a bonus.

Lots of Fun!
This was a birthday present for my 6 year old son. He and his 13 & 9 year old brothers have really had a good time on this water slide. We gave it to him for his party and had about 10 kids on and off it for hours. Oldest was 17 and youngest was 3 years old (we also had a few adults try it out, one at a time). The kids were pretty rough on it and I have only found 1 place that a seam is stretched and I know they were abusing that area. 1 other place has a small 1 inch hole that has come unsewed and can easily be repaired. Neither has caused any problems with the air flow, it stays inflated. I would recommend this slide.

Happy for one day!
We purchased this slide with the impression that the quality was going to be very durable. However, after the first use we had gotten a rip in the seam. We tried to use the provided patches and glue. however, they will not hold. In addition trying to get in touch with toyquest.com takes more than a week. Then of course they tell you that you can send it back to amazon. Which amazon tells you the item must come back in same packaging. Unfornately our kids played with the box and there is no way we can mail our slide back in original packaging. I will not buy from amazon or toyquest again.

Fun with Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Lots & lots of Summer Fun for Kids
- Inflates very fast

Cons:
- Very difficult to dry & onerous to put away
- Very heavy
- The Water spray at the top of the slides is difficult to position properly (minor point)
- The instructions say it had hold adults up to 180lbs..I beg to differ..gets very shaky at the top when an adult climbs up.
- Kinda expensive

Durable? Not sure, only used 3 times thus far.

Conclusion: Defintely a great buy as long as it lasts for a few years...time will tell
