No Pool
3 out of 5 stars review

Thin liner

Placed on clean solid concrete. Folded up and moved to covered patio due to storm. Placed back with 20+ pin size holes in the liner. Had for less than a week.

Struck out twice (Leaks)

Tried this twice and both leaked. We had it level with sand; and even used foam boards and it just leaked. I mean really. It was easy to put together but was such a disappointment. Will never buy this brand again.

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to use the pool this summer! We received the pool for the polar plunge. It was super easy and quick to set up and take down. Love that.

NOT SO HAPPY CUSTOMER
1 out of 5 stars review

POOR QUALITY WASTE OF MONEY

Don't purchase Bestway Power Steel 18-x48' purchased 5/1/23 through Sams Club. This current model didn't even have for a full month had 4 holes was leaking after 3 weeks, waste of water and money. Last year purchase the Bestway Power Steel 20x48 was the best one had no issues and had it up and swimming until Oct 2022 now cheap, poor quality. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY GO WITH ANOTHER ABOVE GROUND POOL (COLEMAN etc)

Prepare to spend more!

The price on this pool is great. However- you will need a lot more stuff to get it up and running. And some of it isn't obvious. Like the fact that I need at least 18 paver stones to set under the legs. And then the sand for the filter. And the chlorine which is like $100/bag. I can't even get the thing to be level enough to fill it with water! I'm returning it.

USELESS cover can cause MAJOR issues

The cover is a joke--too small for the pool and almost as thin as a Hefty trash bag. We put grommets in the liner to keep it attached to the pool. That sort of worked, until it didn't. This unusable cover was partly to blame for the 5-6 foot gash I now have in the side of my pool. The cover slipped into the water, and then when a deep freeze hit us, the ice on the surface of the cover sliced into my pool wall. Maybe I can patch it? But if they'd supplied the proper cover, I wouldn't be having this issue.

Pool cover too small

We are trying to put this together We need someone to contact us about this ASAP. The pool cover is not the proper size that was included. We got the 18x48 and the cover will not go all the way around the oil. I am getting ready to return the whole thing if someone does not get back to me
