Above Ground Pool

Awesome, once you set it up, only problem was setting up the vacuum. Instructions were very vague and doesn't work very well. We bought a different vacuum. Also pool cover doesn't stay on. We replaced the cord with a thicker sturdier cord and that worked really well.

Bestway pool

Honest feedback, I think this is a great pool at a great price. Easy to set up and amazing to cool off in. Huge perk is the sand filter pump. Makes maintenance even more simple and cost efficient.

Great Above Ground Pool

The pool is large & enough deep to swim & play, both, adults and kids. My grandkids 6 & 9 really like it! The kids needed to wear floating vests, specially my 6 yro. Because the depth.

All around good pool.

Easy to put up. Good size. Only had it 2 weeks so I don't know how long it will last. I put it up with the help of two 10 year olds.

Can’t beat this deal!

Huge pool great value for the price! Pump seems good so far after one week! Saltwater pump comes with everything for 399$ can’t beat this price. The smaller pools are more expensive which is crazy but hey it is what it is! Can’t go wrong with this deal. Just make sure u prep the ground and GET IT LEVEL or u will regret it! Took 3 yards of sand and 3 full days to get it level but its Gucci now!

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.

Excellent idea, poor execution

Shouldn’t be called power steel should be called power aluminum because if that is steel, it’s so thin that it might as well be aluminum two of the bars on the top bent when little kids stepped on them trying to get over the ladder if the ladder had a platform on it. It probably wouldn’t have happened. Probably should’ve listened to the reviews about the less than perfect construction of the pieces. Everything else was else was great really like the pump and filter system set up was quite easy. Instructions were pretty easy to follow.

Do not buy

Ordered this pool online because I called all the stores in Vegas and they told me they didn’t have them in store when it was delivered we set it up and started filling it we noticed it was leaking once it was filled about a foot already I started an exchange and they picked up the pool a day after and the new pool was set to arrive 2 days after exchange initiated a week went by and nothing I went to the store and they had a whole pallets full of them I tried to stop the exchange and the manager there told me no as well as the people on live chat she was so rude and told me to just buy another one because I had an event and I needed the pool so that’s what I had to do almost 2 weeks went by until I received the pool and I had to go back to the store to return it. DO NOT BUY!!! WORST SERVICE AND DELIVERY EVER
