Intex Swimming Pool Easy 8ft x30in Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "This pool seems to be quite durable; the whole family has been playing and splashing in it almost every day this summer, without any problems arising."
• "It has been up since June and it looks as good as the first day. Easy to maintain and clean."
• "Update: four years after purchasing the pool it is still in good shape!"
• "The liner is made out of a thick canvas-y feeling plastic that I think would hold up well."
• "This pool is amazing. We have enjoyed it a lot and have had no problems at all with it."
• "We are on our second summer with this pool and plan to buy another next summer."
• "The pool does seem to be durable and well made, outside of it needed perfectly level ground to look like the picture on the box."

Cons:

• "After a time it seems to develop some virtually undetectable pin holes that need to be patched."
• "lasted 2 months before getting a ton of tiny little holes on the inflatable part and on the bottom."
• "After all the work taking it out the box and filling it up with water the pole had sever little holes on the rim and the top."
• "This lasted 2 weeks an yesterday we awoke to a leaking pool."
• "We used this pool three times - three toddlers. There are several holes already."
• "We have had our pool up about a month now and have already patched four holes and its still leaking."
• "After blowing up the rim and starting to fill the pool I noticed water on the ground around the pool. Found at least 7 holes in the bottom in the pool."

Setup and Maintenance

Pros:

• "All you need is a flat spot. After that it is easy... LOVE IT !!"
• "It was very to set up but when it was half full of water I spotted a pin hole in one of seemes it was leaking very slow so my granddaughter played for two hr."
• "Just got this delivered today! Set it up all by myself, worked out most of the wrinkles, and hooked up the pump."
• "Very easy to set up. Open the box, unfold the pool, put the plugs in the holes, and fill with water."
• "This pool was easy to set up. Took about 2 hours from taking out of box to being completely full."
• "This was easy to assemble cuz you just inflate the ring, really get wrinkles out of the bottom, and fill."
• "Really easy to use and worked like a charm."

Cons:

• "Also the instructions for this particular pool were not clear."
• "Only after it was full could I tell that, well, I guess the flat ground isn't quite flat enough."
• "The top ring didn't inflate fully and we've struggled to spread pool out round."
• "I really wanted to like this pool. I put it on my level concrete patio, but never could get it to be anything but lopsided."
• "It takes more than the advertised 10 minutes to set up this pool. It took me more than an hour."
• "Your spot must be super super flat or it won't stay up."
• "It was really easy to set up, although it came with some pieces that I think go with the pump, which we don't have yet, so that was a little confusing."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "For the price on par with a large blow up pool, this one is a winner."
• "At that price, or even at $100, this pool is an absolute steal and well worth the expense if you need to cool off in summer and have no other better option."
• "The price was so good that I went a week after purchasing and got the INTEX C1000 pump for it."
• "For the price, I would have been happy even if it lasted only one summer, but it was still great this year."
• "This is the third time I’ve purchased this 8ft pool....it’s a charm this time around."
• "Ordering was simple, it arrived quicker than was predicted, which in times of Covid is brilliant!"
• "With a little bit of daily maintenance (checking the pH and chlorine levels, and using the skimmer net when needed), the water has remained clean, clear, and most importantly, IN THE POOL!"

Cons:

• "Such a disappointment since it's not cheap and is from a well known brand."
• "So overall its a big price to pay for such a short amt of time to use it."
• "Do not order this pool from this site. I received the pool with a hole in it."
• "We were disappointed from the beginning of this purchase. Just out of the box, 3 holes needed to be patched."
• "Don't waste your money on this product."
• "200 bucks wasted. Save your money because it’s not worth it."
• "However, I just bought this exact pool for $19 from Fred's, so this price seems pretty extreme to me."
