Good for two or three toddlers!
I got this for my toddlers (18 months and 3 years), and they love it.
Size:
It's perfect for two or three kids, I would say up to four years of age the most. I had to inflate it myself, and it wasn't too bad. Really the part that took the longest was the center part of the slide.
Quality:
I have two generally gentle girls, so it doesn't take big beatings. However they love to seat on the side and bounce, and so far after about a month of almost everyday use it's still good as new.
I bought it thinking that for $20 it'd probably not last the summer, but now I think it will. I think that if we don't use it next year it'll be because it might be too small for them then.
I haven't used the attchment for the hose, so I can't comment on how well it works. I wet the slide and the kids go right down, no problem.
The slide attaches to the bottom part with two ropes. It came with two little pieces that were barely long enough to do the job, so I got a couple shoe laces and it takes half the time to set it up now.
To sum up, a good buy.

good product
The pool is what I expected. It is large enough for our 26 month boy to move around in. I don't know about the slide as he has not tried it yet, but it appears to be reasonably sturdy for a blow-up slide. The fountain feature is fun and keeps him occupied. It was worth the price we paid for it.

Nice but smaller than they lead you to believe
Nice pool for the price but like others have said it is definitely smaller than the photo on the box. I have uploaded some photos that give a better indication of the size. Just be aware of the size issue! My 1.5 year old likes it reasonably well. I think it would be good for smaller infantren (maybe up to 6?) with parental supervision but not for older infantren even though it says "3 and up".
Hooking the hose up for the spray doesn't work very well due to leaking, I suspect that is because we have no washer in there. I'm not sure if it came with one or not because it may have been accidentally thrown away with other material that was accidentally thrown away... but I think it definitely needs a washer. Also, it could be more durable (heavier plastic) but for the price I can't complain too much. It does come with one repair patch. If it lasts one summer then I think I got my money's worth.
