Bestway Steel Pro 87 Inch x 59 Inch x 17 Inch Rectangular Metal Frame Above Ground Outdoor Backyard Swimming Pool, Blue (Pool Only)

It is the perfect size! We wanted something that my 5 year old could stand up in but something that we could all sit in at the same time. This is absolutely perfect and the pump is working great! I will end up getting a cover for it to keep the leaves and stuff out easily.

Echoing what the consensus here seems to be:Great value for money, manual leaves a lot to be desired, additional purchases recommended.Got the 9.8' x 6.6' x 26" rectangular pool - bought before the summer rush at a wildly low price, pump included (other reviews mention not getting a pump; the listing we used stated an included pump clearly and, indeed, it came with the pool).The pool lining is sturdier than hoped, we still added a tarp liner underneath the pool set-up, to be safe. Also bought a recommended pool cover ( a simple tie-down tarp with grommets). Definitely would recommend both purchases, especially if your yard is a little on the wild/woody side.The tube framing is good - I will add that I wish the 'feet' would attach to the tube legs with a similar bolt lock that keeps the corner pieces in place. Before filling the pool with water, legs would repeatedly just... fall off and roll across the lawn or disconnect from their 'feet'. Not great as you do final adjustments on the placement and smooth out tarp folds. It's the only part of construction that lends the pool a 'rickety' feel - once the pool is assembled, placed and filled, it no longer feels rickety.Beyond that, the pool is sturdy, leak-proof (haven't needed any of the liner patches) and the pump works as intended. I'd hoped this would last us one season before investing in something more high-spec, but if this stores well over the winter, it's well worth re-using next summer. As our pool is set-up underneath a party tent, the pump is sufficient - but I'd imagine if you keep it uncovered and/or have very high traffic with small children or similar, you might need a better pump than the one included. For us, that one is fine as we don't really track debris into the water.As frequently mentioned in reviews, the instruction sheet is awful. I'm a pretty seasoned manual-follower, but the tiny pictogram-only instructions were more of a headache than expected. Also, bear in mind that half the narrow tubes are stored within the wider-diameter tubes - if you find yourself short of a couple legs, they're hidden within the other ones.In summary: great price tag, two people definitely recommended for set-up because of escaping tubing, surprising durability. I would absolutely recommend this pool for a first-time/temporary 'let's see if a pool is for us' set-up.

I'm late reviewing it. Its a really good pool. My boys love it. The only down side is what every the braces are made out of rust fast. I have has 2 years now. I have replace some of the braces with 1/4 conduit tubing. I will replace all the rest this summer when i put it together.

Needs a bigger filter to help clean. Going on 3 years and still going. It's better with all the metal to hold it up.

This is our second Bestway Steel Pro, we had a smaller one before and this new 10 foot one fit nicely in the same spot, and we added a higher volume pump. It's a bit of a project to level the ground, put it together, and set it up (took me 2 days of working on it here and there whenever I had some time, probably 3-4 hours total). Also I got some workspace padding (the interlocking padding used on the floor by a workbench to relieve tired feet) and put that under the entire pool for a softer floor for the kids.In our experience, these pools are entirely worth the effort and a great upgrade from basic blow-up pools that don't have a filter. With a filter, you never need to change the water (though you will need to change the filter every couple weeks and also learn basic pool chemistry, get some baking soda, a chlorine pellet dispenser and a pool test kit to keep the water pristine and crystal clear). You can find videos to walk through all that online so it's not too difficult. The one downside I noticed with this class of pools is the filter pipes tend to get brittle and leak after about a year, but replacement hoses are affordable. The biggest upside is how much the kids love it!!

I have had many blow up pools over the years this was my first purchase of this type of pool and I am very happy with it. See details below:* size is perfect* it was okay to set up instructions need to be improved but we got it done.* my patio has a slight grade for drainage so I was concerned setting it up, however, it is doing fine. We are careful with the side that would be more stressed. I found a baby padded play yard pad that I will use next year to level better.* the size is perfect for my granddaughter to swim and shallow dive for items.* Although it came with a filter it was soso I went and bought the Intex 1000 gallons per hour and works much better.* I use the floating chlorine containers works perfect.* I bought the little water/hose vacuum and again perfect.* I bought a bigger solar cover which I cut down to fit with a little overlap. It is great keeps water warm and clean from debris when not in use.I run the filter daily and only vacuum and use filter nets when needed. I have only had to use water clarifying once as we were gone 4 days and that was before I got the better filter.I cannot recommend this enough it has made the summer perfect as I watch my granddaughter and has provided hours of fun. One caveat do the maintenance it’s not time consuming and it keep the water crystal clear.like this size and it seems quite durable. The price was a good price for the size and I like that it came with the filter.

This is 2nd pool we ordered. 1st one lasted 5 years. Poles started to rust after we left out for the winter(drained) 2-3 adults can easily float with loungers. Filters are cheap at local menards. I am 62 years old and love this pool. Easy to Maintain and clean. Granddaughter loves it
