For $30 you can't go wrong! I saw a lot of complaints RE: there not being a drain valve. Just partially deflate the sides and WHOOSH the water flows right out. Other complaints may address the time to fill/deflate the pool. Just get a decent pump and use the main port to deflate AND fill the pool! Don't bother with the small ports. Great pool for the value!

Would recommend this pool to anyone. My two grandkids (2 and 4) love it!! Very easy to drain if needed and refill.

No drain plug is not a problem, if you have a shop vac just use the reverse (blower" function or a hairdryer with cool air. I can blow up all three rings in under 2 minutes. Kids love it, we had all 5 of us in there the other day and couldn't have been happier.

My 3 year old daugter loved this pool. It was perfect for her and her little friends. It wasn't too shallow or too deep and was large enough for 3 or 4 kids to play comfortably. I was disappointed that here was no drain valve but I just deflated when it wasn't being used. It was worth every penny I paid for it. After a full spring and summer of use, it got several holes in it and we threw it out. Unfortunately when I went back to purchase another, they were put away for the season. If I see hem again, I will buy 2.

We have used this pool a lot this summer, but my only complaint is that there is not a drain in the bottom. The only way to empty the pool is to hold down one side... :/

The pool is good and my daughter enjoys it. The major problem for me is that it does not have a way to drain the pool other than deflating it. I had a pool last year that had a drain plug and it was easy, but I do not like having to stand there on the pool edge and trying to flip it over to get the water out. I wanted to spray the pool out to get some of the leaves and grass out but I would have to blow it up again to do that.

This is a good a good sized pool for the money (bought it for $30). I took a while for this to inflated. The pool is nice looking. You get three underwater goggles with the pool. However, I'm giving this 2 stars because there isn't a drain valve. This is a good sized pool so there's no way for me to flip it over to get the water out. The only way is for me to deflate it, which is frustrating since it took a very long time to inflate this pool in the first place.

Granted, I realize people feel it's easy to just deflate a pool to drain it, however this pool takes quite a bit of time to air back up. The no-drain valve made this a no-go product for me. These things easily take 300-400 gallons of water....to go to the trouble of providing goggles and a 3D print, yet skip the drain valve.... makes this product highly over rated.

Bought our first one, inflated it and filled it half way and it leaked all the air from the middle rib within one hour, couldn't find a hole. We exchanged that one and now this new one deflated the top ring. Very aggravating, we will keep this one only because it is for our dog and we don't need that top ring, but would be nice is it stayed inflated to make it deeper.

I bought this pool and had it set up in minutes.. thought it was great. until the next day when i noticed the seams in the pool were not straight and the pool actually had a curve upwards to it.. the side kept falling over and draining a good portion of the water out. couldn't seem to keep the bottom tube and the top tube inflated. thankfully sams club took it back so i went and bought a metal frame pool. I didn't want a pool that needed so much work to maintain, thats why i bought the little pool. ended spending more time messing with the little pool then i am with the 12 foot pool. lesson learned..
