Customer Reviews ::




Not the Slip 'n Slide I remember. Complete waste of money - C. Woodall - Atlanta, GA USA
The old slip 'n slide was primitive by comparison. Just a piece of plastic with metal "staple" type stakes for the corners with a sprayer tube running down the side. When you reached the bottom it was just a slide off into the mud (but a ton of fun!).

This new design incorporates a splash pool type thing at the end with sprayers to make it fun. Not a bad idea, but there are so many holes at the end of the slide where you splash, that there isn't enough water left to adequately wet the sliding area (where you NEED it to hydroplane). And yes, I have good water pressure. This only gets worse if you set it up on a hill. Even a slight hill robs the top of the slide of water in favor of the splash pool (like you'll ever slide that far...)

The review that complained that the sprayers only squirt up is wrong. Sometimes they spray away, or down, or past.... It all depends on how the sprayer tube is rotated. Unfortunately you need to re-aim it frequently and often. What a pain.

Ultimately we found a hill in our side yard, laid out some 6 mill plastic from the hardware store and aimed a sprinkler on it. What a BLAST!

The Slip 'n Slide is in the trash!
