![[Upgrade Version] PicassoTiles KC102 12x10 Foot Inflatable Bouncer Jumping Bouncing House, Jump Slide, Dunk Playhouse w/Baske](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81aGyRwvOHL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I've owned both this product and it's variant (L.O.L. Surprise) for the last 5 years. It has provided countless hours and fun memories for the family, especially during the pandemic.
CONS
(1) COST Fabric does fade over time in the sun and in storage. Do not buy this product if you intend to use it for more than two consecutive summers. BUT The product was listed $349 at the time of writing this review which equates to about $58/mo. assuming that you use it for 2 years 3 months each. I would even consider the product worth the money even if it lasts a single season.
(2) DRAINING Draining is pretty simple (I don't know why people are complaining- you simple step on the edge of the pool to let the water out) but the drying the product is a pain- it needs to stay inflated and can take 2-3 hours, especially considering that the product will most likely be dried during the evening after play.
(3) CLEANING I used a pressure cleaner to simply spray down any debris left on the slide. BUT the air intake has no filter so dust or insects builds up inside (almost looks like mold from outside) the slide over time.
(4) CUSHIONING If you're using the product on a deck instead of grass, you would want to consider getting some cushioning at the bottom of each slide to save your kids bruised butts. We used kitchen matts from Costco and it worked perfectly.
PRO
(1) EXTREMELY FUN The slide stands at over 8'5" and can hold up to 350lbs, enough to give a small thrill even for adults. The slide as big enough for 3 7yr-olds to play simultaneously. The kids absolutely loved it and looked forward to it every summer. It also has a small bucket at the top the splashes down water when filled.
(2) DURABLE I see many people have uploaded pictures of opened seams and tears, BUT no matter how much you look around, it's simply the best product out there for your money ($300~$1000). I tried other products and spent countless hours searching for the right one, but always came back to this product.
(3) SAFETY I trust Little Tikes and this product has not let us down. My kids go crazy on the slide but netting on the back provides safety and the walls of the slide are tall enough to hold down kids jumping down the slide. The blower appears to be water resistant and strong enough to hold the slide in shape even when an adult in on top of the slide.
OVERALL Yes, it's not perfect but unless you own a house with a built-in water slide with a pool, it's the best product for water play for the kids at home. Period.

It can be mostly contained on top of an 8x10 tarp, which is fantastic for moving it for the purpose of regrowing grass every couple of days. As opposed to the other one, the pool and climbing wall are contained within obe area, so the mud that was an issue from running around the other one is not at all an issue for this one. It does feel somewhat smaller, and it is more important to have a more level area since both slides don't have their own "pools," but it has been played with day in and day out for weeks with many, many children ages 3-10 (neighborhood gathering place,) and we have had no issues with tears or rips, and everyone has had an excellent time. It is also soooooo much easier to handle than the other slide. We have stored it for a few days at a time, but I, of course, cannot yet attest to how well it survives the winter. We hope it does, but either way, I assure you they have already gotten our money's worth out of it! We used it for a party, for which renting an inflatable was going to cost nearly the same amount, and now they get to enjoy this one nearly every day!
Set up is a breeze, tear down is also very simple and moving it could not be easier with the aid of the tarp underneath of it. My 7-year old sets the pump up himself everytime he wants to play with it.
Cannot say enough wonderful things about Little Tikes' customer service with our issues with the first one, and this slide in general. Hours and hours worth of fun and even if it only lasts one summer, we could not be happier!!!
UPDATE: season 2 of this water slide is upon us! It still works great!! It is full of mildew, however. I am not sure how long you would have to dry this thing out to avoid that, as we had it blown up without water for a couple of days in the sun and hanging up drying for more than a week after it’s last use last summer! It was in a tote, so perhaps that was our mistake. Perhaps it should only be stored in it’s bag. Either way, they’re still enjoying it, so I’ll stick with my 5 star review, and if we buy another, we’ll try a different storage technique!

*UPDATED Absolutely wonderful!! Many children, ages 3-10 have thoroughly enjoyed this slide!!! Hours of fun!!

This was not the first inflatable slide we tried... We tried the Little Tikes Racing Slides waterslide first...they are amazing; however, after the very first use, there were two gaping holes at the seams at the bottom of the slide. I called Little Tikes, and they were ready to take care of me, but time was an issue, and we returned that slide to the big box store that it came from, and decided to 2-day ship this one.Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017
