INTEX Swim Center Inflatable Family Lounge Pool: Built-In Bench – Cup Holder – 156 Gallon Capacity – 90" x 86" x 31" – Blue

No joke! I love this thing. I wish it would last forever and I hope they don't stop making it. I'll buy a new one every summer! Another reviewer said it was so big that he could float in it. Well, I tried... and conquered! This thing was big enough for me to float in it on flamingo float ring. Here's a picture of me in my float and one of my boyfriend. He's 6'7 for reference! 7/16/2018 Update: Yes, I ordered another one this year. I mean, how could I not?! Only bummer... we've had some windy days. I tried to weight the empty bowl down with a chair inside of it, but the wind was too strong. So I ended up with some holes in the bottom. I bought an Intex patch repair kit for their above ground pools. It totally did the trick. Only, we had more windy days. So I said “F it” and bought ANOTHER pool this week. August 2020 Update: Wow, this thing keeps getting harder and harder to find each year! And it’s totally worth the price increase with this heat wave we have going on in California right now. Now that I’ve gone through about half a dozen of these pools, some advice I’d give us to not fill the pool with too much air so that it over stretches. This can lead to micro tears/leaks which are impossible to find and patch.

I love this pool, my kids - their friends and cousins love it and so does anyone that sees it! It caters to adults as well as kids. It has a great bench and high back cushion, 2 cup holders and LOTS of swim room! The only complaints I have, which I will look past because I love it so much, is that the drain plug is directly on the bottom... So for us, because I put foam mats underneath, it won't drain without deflating the entire thing. To reinflate it's a quick game of get the plug in faster than you can put down the air pump! Without anything holding the air it does a VERY QUICK air release. It also fills incredibly fast as well. All in all, a great buy! Update on review, 7/12/16: Still loving it! It deflates after a few days and I have to keep reinflating it everytime I take it out but I am not sure if that's just due to where I'm storing it at and our weather (very hot!). This is a great pool for beginners! My 3 year old is newly afraid of the water and we are hoping that by making him comfortable with the pool itself, we can add water for him and he'll eventually enjoy it. It really is a great pool! I'm crossing my fingers it never pops! (7/2017) And it's done. I stored it correctly and for whatever reason it will not hold air! There are no holes in it and there's 3 different places to blow it up with air... What are the odds that every single part cannot hold any air. This deflated within the hour. So disappointed as my kids and I really loved this pool.

I have bought this product two years in a row. the price point makes it easy to just replace it and it fills and holds all summer. I'm in Texas so you know it is hot here and this has been a lifesaver. Just to be clear I probably could've used the previous year over but it's rubber and subjected to heat and water-filled pressure all summer. It will lose some air in the process of the heat because the rubber heats up and expands so at least once I've had to top it off with air. It comes with a patch kit to repair a hole should you get one but it holds a lot of water and a hole would be extremely hard to find and frankly not worth the effort at 50 bucks a unit. factoring that and the price its easier to buy a new one at the beginning of the season and not have to worry about a failure

Pretty good quality, pretty big, lots of space for multiple kids. the hole for draining the water is tiny though so it doesn’t drain well. Also, because of the seat, it makes it tough to clean behind. Filling up with air takes quick if you use a good pump but this pool has 2 different size holes so make sure you have both a big and small one to fill up with air.

Because I am disgusted with it. Pool quality: CHEAP This pool is "cute" the first few days of having it but after that the product changes shape, ie; it balloons out of shape and becomes an eye sore! Also when draining, the drain plug does not stay unplugged so you need to set a brick or something heavy enough to stay down under the water to hold the plug in an opened position. On top of that, I made the mistake of purchasing from a third party seller here on Amazon and was told that in order to return it that a refund can take up to 10 days and that the product must be in "like new" condition or there could be FEES! It's only been up for less than 3 weeks and you have to go out and fill with more air every few days! I'm disgusted with the quality of this product as well as the sellers customer service regarding returns! A complete waste of money and a real inconvenience. Don't buy this pool! Picture of how the pool looks today ballooned out of shape. The garden hose is there to help drain it in order to return to seller. Update: After posting my review the seller reached out and offered to replace the pool at no charge. The originl went to the recycle bin. I will say this; INTEX sells trash for products. I've purchased this exact pool in the past and all have failed quickly. Then when they do fail, emptying, deflating, folding, and returning is a HUGE inconvenience. I also purchased another INTEX pool that was an above ground that came with a filter. It was also garbage. We purchased our (new) Florida home a few years ago and have been focused on improving the landscape, adding gardens beds etc, so until we are ready to have an in ground pool I was just wanting something to cool down in until that day comes. However, this silly blow up pool doesn't last long at all (we got three weeks out of the most recent purchase) and we have no kids, no pets, and a fenced in property. It is worth 'maybe' $20.00 and no more. Rip off. The replacement that the seller sent is still in it's box and I am not sure I will even bother putting it up. Even if it holds air for maybe 3-5 days after that the entire top ring changes shape and shown in my picture. STOP BUYING JUNK FROM CHINESE MANUFACTURERS because what we're REALLY doing is filling our own landfills for up with their junk!!! All built to fail. UPDATE: I finally set the replacement pool up. It's been exactly TWO WEEKS and the top, like the ones purchased previously have ballooned out of shape again! (I am including photos) Then today 8/17/25 while having our morning coffee we hear a loud BURST! The top of the pool exploded and the water poured out of the pool! Darn good thing we don't have children because this is a REAL HAZARD and potentially VERY dangerous!!! INTEX should be sued! WE were just sitting in last night and had this happened at that time might have caused a heart attack! SHAME on ANY company offering this crap from INTEX!

It is HOT in SC and I am 8 months pregnant! I was looking for something I could comfortably sit in that would also fit my 6’4” boyfriend, after many days of research this was the perfect pool! We both had room to spare! The seat and head rest are incredibly comfortable, it’s a lot deeper than I expected which was a pleasant surprise and the cup holders were a very nice touch. I inflated it in just a couple minutes with the intex pump (already had one for air mattresses) but a regular air compressor or even a hand pump would have the job done quickly! The material is very thick and would have lasted longer if it hadn’t gotten a piece of metal stuck in it. It drains from the bottom and holds air VERY well, the day I set it up is also the day we had bad storms roll in that lasted for 2 weeks and this pool was still just as inflated as day 1.

For the price you get a very nice fun pool. I imagine children would love this, but This review is aimed at Adults wanting this pool as a lounging pool. Things to be aware of; 1.) There is no padding on the bottom of the pool so it is hard. I wear water shoes makes it so much softer and nicer on the feet. 2.) The vinyl is very thin—pool toy quality. Under inflate it to avoid ruptures. 3.) The tubes offer No support to help you get up, in and out of pool, if your old like me 😂 using a camp chair next to pool is very helpful. 4.) a king size fitted sheet works very well to cover the pool to keep out leaves and debris. — a little difficult to get on by yourself. 5.) have a flat surface, and use a mat to protect the bottom. 6.) Set the pool up in a shaded area if at all possible. Do not fully inflate— especially if the pool gets sunlight. Hot air expands and you will blow a seam. 7.) I filled the pool to about 4-6” above the bench. It was great. Only problem the bottom is very hard and not comfortable at all. Luckily the bench seat and backrest are fabulous. This pool is big enough for a large river tube to fit inside. I find myself lounging in the river tube more than sitting on the bench. Only because it’s difficult for me to get down and back up from the seat. (I’m in my late 60’s with arthritis in my knees. ) If you keep the tubes a little under inflated so they are soft you should have no problems with leaks — seams ripping etc. even my 2 small dogs can jump in and out with no worries of punctures. I recommend this pool. 👍

I'm going with 3 stars because it states its 3q inches in height, however, NOT the case its 24 inches inside. Now I am a Tiny woman all of 5' -2" & i dont know how ppl write reviews & say its big enough for 2 adults & 2 kids?! Not unless their pigmies! I'm using it for light leg exercise & have my 12 year old Pitty swim wirh me, he's older & has arthritis. I didn't take into account the rounded walls, its work cleaning a pool like this one it has a lot of nook & crannies for algae & bacteria to grow. I WISH THIS WAS ONE RING LEVEL HIGHER, because I wanted to work out my lower half of my body & I can't get low enough & I'm short. So its my tanning/ exercise pool for me & my Pitty Dog. I live in sunny south Florida so ill be using this year round & ill give another update to let ya'll know how this really works. Its eyes pleasing & bench is comfy. I use the bench for tanning & i rest my myself on it & do leg flutters. I like it so far, keep ya'll posted

Not able to utilise as yet due to our great British Summer!!! Looks great on box though

Good and value for money. Good for kid till 11 years

Me impresioné esta alberca, muy amplia y con la calidad excepcional de Intex, de hecho la compre para mis sobrinos y ponerla en la terraza, porque pensé que como en muchas publicaciones engañosas pues se ve enorme y en realidad es pequeña, pero NO la alberca es ENORME y si caben fácilmente tres adultos, de verdad es una hermosura esta alberca, resistente y con una profundidad que te tapa por mucho el cuerpo acostado, además de una muy cómoda zona para sentarte y tomarte tus bebidas mientras te bronceas, la inflamos con una bomba Intex que también adquirimos aquí en amazon. no me arrepiento de esta compra. Si hay en existencia tómala porque se agotan rápidamente, yo tuve que esperar para poderla comprar porque no alcanzaba!

Ich bin sehr zufrieden und habe schon 2 Ersatz gekauft. Nach 3 Jahren lässt er Luft, aber dies liegt nicht am Material, sondern sicherlich unsererseits, da der Untergrund dieses Jahr nicht so perfekt war. Fürs nächstes Jahr sind Pool Platten geplant.

Thos is the bestest lil pool! I got it for a BYOP. It was easy to set up and take down. It even fit back into the box!
