Toys and Games Reviews of Banzai Sidewinder Falls 09
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Much like the other reviews, we were excited when we first set up the slide. It looked sturdy and fun. After a very small number of uses, however, the inside "lining" that keeps the air in pulled away from the outside wall of the slide. (This appears to be a common problem, judging by everyone else's reviews. I have contacted Toy Quest and they have told me the same thing as everyone else, also. Basically, my 60 day warranty period is over and they don't want to hear about it! Ridiculous customer service for an item that cost over $500 with shipping and that only lasts a handful of times!
I hope if you're reading this you will not purchase it. I have also had a problem w/some other "Banzai" products, but they have always been small pools. I figured this big of an item would be safe! WRONG!
Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my daughters 2 and 3. The 2 year old liked the pool and the little slide my older daughter loved it all. She used the climbing wall and went down all by herself. She loves waterslides and this was a must have for her. I have only used it once so I don't know how well it holds up. I have another product the slide that goes into the easyset pool and it works great 3 years later. A few improvements that could be made is another drain in the pool, and a larger carrying bag. I bought a plastic bin with wheels and put vents in the lid to protect the slide while going in and out with it. IT NEEDS PLENTY OF DRYING TIME!!! No big drawbacks I just like to protect something this expensive so it's worth the [...] bucks for the bin to make sure it is safe.Customer Review: Great fun!!!

This slide was so fun for all ages. We bought it last year and used it at least 20 times. Sometimes as much as 15 kids playing on at a time. No major injuries even though they got kinda crazy. They love the two slides and play tag. We got it out this year for the first time. It worked really well and they played on it for over an hour. Then they got really crazy and ripped a big hole in the side. Thankfully my mother-in-law has an industrial sewing machine and she patched the hole up. It worked and they played on it for over an hour today. We have to have more rules this time since we don't want it to rip again, but we feel we already got our money's worth with this slide. We are deciding which slide to get for next year so we can have two slides!!!Customer Review: Lower your expectations
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband and I bought this in early August 2009 for my daughters (10 yrs.and 6 yrs.) . It has been a huge hit with our kids as well as other children in the neighborhood. It's astoundingly large, well worth what we paid for it. We paid around $300 for the slide and shipping.
It would be nice if it lasted for another summer, but we aren't being unrealistic. We have had it for almost one month, being used on a daily basis. We deflate it and let it dry out every night, but we are not overly careful with storage. It lies in the yard in wait for use the following day. So far, we have no holes, no leaks and no problems. I guess if you don't set your expectations too high, you won't be disappointed.
We are very pleased with our purchase.
Customer Review: PLEASE do NOT buy this product
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for my daughter last June for her birthday. (2008 model). We used it twice last year, and on our 2nd inflation this year (ie. not EVEN 4 uses total), it would not inflate.... on inspection I found that a 2 ft section of the INNER liner had come away from the slide wall itself, leaving me ABSOLUTELY no way to fix/patch it. When I rang TOYQUEST to inquire about this problem, they basically told me that I was out of the 60 day warranty, and basically - tough !! They obviously know their product is sub-standard and are unwilling to stand by it !
The 3 times my kids did use it, they DID have a blast, but, I would have rather spent the $400+ on annual passes to the local water park !!
Please do not waste your money on this !
