Banzai Speed Blast Water Slide

The media could not be loaded.  Depends on what your expectations are and use for it. It lasted us several summers and I didn’t want to buy anything more expensive. This is cheap, therefore it’s not going to be this amazing slip and slide that you are imagining in your head. It is narrow but it works for us. My boys loved it and we’ve had it for years. I am just now having to buy a new one.

My kids LOVE this slide. I was not expecting much from it given the mixed reviews, but I did not expect much from an $11 slip n slide. I just hoped it would last the rest of the summer. My kids are young - 4 years and 1.5 years. They do not understand how to slide on their tummy so my husband and I carefully pull their arms to slide them across - I have never seen bigger smiles on their faces. My 1.5 year old loves to just walk on it and play with the water squirting up. My daughter is happy just running up and down it.I would not recommend this for older children or adults. It is not very wide or long, and not sturdy enough for them. I'd be cautious even up to the 12 year limit on the package. I probably would say it's good up to 8 years or so. The material is pretty flimsy - again, it was only $11 - but for a young child it's fine. The stakes hold it fine.The water pressure is not great. The water squirts up maybe 1 foot. But it's enough to get the slide wet and my kids have fun playing with the water.So, for the price point, I do highly recommend this slide, just don't expect it to last for years.**edited 1 year later**This slide has lasted another summer with my now 2 and 5-year-olds. I foresee it even lasting into next summer.

Absolutely terrible. I bought two of these based on the descriptions and images as part of what we did for my daughter's recent birthday party. Thankfully, this was not the main event, so to speak. There are only two plastic stakes at the back to keep this colorful garbage bag in place on your lawn, and they don't work. Despite the images shown, this "slide" is barely wide enough for my toddler to slide down. And you can forget about sliding anywhere, because you won't, and neither will your dissappointed children or their dissappointed friends. The water hookup at the back and the "channel" to the right do nothing to spray water onto this pitiful product, and the "splash pool" at the end of it won't even function to collect your disappointment-induced tears. I was going ro return these the very next day after the party, but their boxes got thrown away in the hubbub, and I just didn't want to even think of these things anymore. For what it's worth, we tried to use these slides one more time in a more controlled setting, and they were just as much of a disappointment. Oh, yeah, and when I said "colorful trashbag," I should have said faded-color trashbag, because a SINGLE afternoon in the sun is all it took to completely fade the colors of this waste of resources. Seriously, it's actually hilarious to see the colored silhouettes and outlines of the various toys and squirt guns that were left on the slides a couple hours the afternoon of the birthday party and blocked the sun's rays.Do yourself a favor and do not waste your time with this awful product, which was actually so incredibly bad as to raise serious concerns for me with respect to any product manufactured by Banzai.

Surprisingly good for the price, but it's not super high material quality. My three boys (Aged 4 - 14) have been using it for a week, and it's held up great. But, I expect tears or such sooner than later. If you want something quick and affordable, this is a great choice. If you want something reusable and more long term, invest in one those $75+ ones.

Each time a kid slides down the plastic wrinkles which makes it very narrow. Have to keep pulling it back out. But it was cheap and it works for the little ones
