Fun summer

We are really enjoying the pool. We're a family of eight as of now with one on the way. My Wife really likes the pool during pregnancy. It helps with pressure on her legs and varicose veins. All six children are having a great summer because of this pool. Very satisfied with the pool and all of it accessories.

Bestway pool

Great purchase so far. Easy to install and so far we have been enjoying swim time. The only thing i will change is the ladder. While the ladder that came with this pool is a sturdy ladder I personally would like one with larger steps to make it easier for the Littles to get in and out.

Great Pool, Great Price!

Amazing price on a really good pool. It's not an ultra frame, but it's a sturdy metal frame pool nonetheless. Easy to set up, and came with a really nice "sand" pump with the cotton ball things instead of sand. The liner is a nice color, and the overall quality of the materials and the build is great. Overall we're very happy with this product, and with the deal!

Assembled by a woman

Fairly easy installation. When you’re filling the pool, you need to be in it smoothing the bottom from start until it has at least a foot of water in it in order to get the bottom smooth. We put our poles on 6” 2x4’s to keep them from sinking into the ground and it worked great. Also any uneven ground will show after it’s put together and filled up even if it is just a few inches on one part. Overall it’s a great pool and definitely worth it. My bf and I put it up ourselves and by he and I, I mean pretty much myself. So if I can figure it out and do it, anyone can do it. Just follow the instructions and pay attention to detail and you will be fine. It took about 2 evenings for us to assemble. If you had a day to spare you could probably do it in about 5-6 hours.

Can't beat price for what's included

I hadn't intended to purchase this but caught it on sale so thought I would get for grandkids. My husband went all out and put plastic down and then put about 4" of sand to give some cushion and make easier to level. Installation went pretty smooth. We ended up using sand in the filter instead of included cotton balls. We have an issue with one of the hoses leaking just a smidge and think it's a bad o-ring so I am currently in the process of getting it replaced. So far I am happy with the pool.

Nice but lacking on quality

Even with thinking our backyard was pretty level, this pool leans significantly, causing warping of the frame/legs. The ladder is not tall enough for the pool and dented the frame where it was put.

I just wanted to swim

As I was filling up the pool the sides busted I called Sam’s club and they wanted me to bring the pool in but I could not get it back in the box and it was too heavy because it being wet made it even more heavy and I have cancer I can’t lift no more than 10 pounds and now out $500 and no pool. Didn’t even get a chance to enjoy it once.

missing and broken parts poor customer service

The pool came with a broken net out of the box no skimmer missing hoses and hose clamps upon setup I immediately contacted the manufacturer Bestway registered and reported the issues but they are making it very difficult to get the missing and broken parts sent . I have emailed them several times with no resolution And the pump and filter are the cheapest made I have ever seen. I CANNOT LIFT THE POOL TO RETURN IT .I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.
