Toys and Games Reviews of Wham-O Slip 'N Slide Double Wave Rider
Customer Review: Fun with friends
Summary: 4 Stars
This toy is convenient if you have more than one child who wants to ride the toy. The side by side design encourages everything from racing to just plain tandem sliding. It is a little weird to have the hose running under the end 'pool' area, but that has not yet caused any problems. I reccommend this to anyone who has more than one child who would want to play. One comment: we have a well with lower water pressure than our city system counterparts. The area we have to set up this toy is a good 50ft from our faucet; this results in a declining spray from the hose connection point to the end of the slide. It does not prevent the fun, but the kids did notice that the "front" of the slide didn't have as high of a water spray.Customer Review: Fun on the Slip 'N Slide
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased the Slip 'N slide for our two granddaughters, ages 3 and 6, as an alternative to another temporary pool to fill up and then have to empty when they went home.
It was easy to set up and they loved it. We only let them use it when we are supervising. It is too easy for the 3 year old to get excited and "forget" the rules about not running on it.
It has been a big hit with them, expecially during the hot weather. They love the way the water arches over the end of the slide. Sometimes they sit under the arching water just for fun.
I would recommend this water toy as a fun way to for kids to cool off and get some exercise at the same time.
Customer Review: Too expensive for only one afternoon of fun
Summary: 2 Stars
First thing DH said when he opened it was "too short." No way were our 10 year-old boys going to be happy with the short length of the race track. So we bought a quality 20' tarp, didn't fill up the end barricade thing of the slip and slide, and extended the sliding length of the "ride" by three fold. The water on the tarp was the best part of the ride. It only lasted for about 3 hours and then the slip and slide tore down the center. We also had the wave runners which were not popular - sliding on knees was most popular. I guess maybe with some duct tape I can extend it's life to one more afternoon, but for[...] that is not a good enough value/durability for my money.Customer Review: survived adults, but will need an extension
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item to use with 10+ adults. The item did not tear after using it for 2+ hours, and it dried and folded nicely back into its box. I plan on using it again. I agree, the nozzle where the hose is connected to the slide seems poorly made. But, I was careful in attaching and detaching it, and it seems to be fine. This slide is certainly not long enough for adults, so I went to a different store and bought these Spray Zone Dash & Splash Water Slide (which are very inexpensive, less than [...]) to serve as an extension, and it worked great.Customer Review: not a good idea
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed. The product was much samaller than implied. Fitting two children on the slide was very difficult as they would just bang into each other trying to dive on becaseu there wasnot really enough room for two sliders at one time. The product lost its tether to the ground on the first run and the teathers were just not strong enough to keep it in the ground. It started to come appart within 5 min. The sprinkler at the end demonstrated on the box was a mere dribble into the pool area which did not blow up well or hold water. horriable product.
