Good for the price too

no complaints. easy to put up, I've had it 2 years so far. we take it down for the winter rather than winterize because it is so easy to put back up. didn't level the ground, kind of did everything "wrong" for prepping but it stood fine and strong anyways.

I like it a lot!

This is my 3rd summer having the pool up year round. It's just now starting to rust in some places, but it still works great! I did upgrade the filtration system. I think that is must. I'm hoping to get another year or two out of this pool and then I'll upgrade something else. I do bring in the filter and ladder, over the winter, and store it in my garage.

Glad I Bought It

This is our second summer using this Bestway pool, and it has been great. I definitely recommend it. (We took it down for the winter and used talc powder on the surfaces for storage and setup.)

Didn't last...

The liner was great, the quality of the metal frame was not. Didn't make it two seasons. I thought I could just order a new frame, no biggie, right? They are never in stock, I've checked often for almost a year. Super disappointed. The SummerWaves one I got before lasted 7 seasons, I really thought this was going to at least get us a few seasons and we take it down correctly and store in a dry place.

Horrible

Absolutely the worst pool I've ever purchased! I thought having the thicker liner would be awesome! Nope it's so thin n has leaked n torn using it only 2 months last summer! Complete waste of money!

Rusted Quickly

Poles & ladder were both rusted within 1 year of pool being set up. This is the second one I have purchased and it will be the last. This model featured a better pump/filtration system. Shame about the rust issue.

Poles do NOT last

Had the pool set up for less that 1 year & poles have rusted so bad they broke. Not worth the money, spend a little more & get a better product.
