I bought one of these pools not that long ago for my yard, it didn't come with an air pump and I thought i was going to die blowing it up by mouth.
It was also not very easy to empty and got quite dirty in the night and attracted mosquitos. I don't have kids so for me, it wasn't worth the time. It looks like the kids are having fun though!
good thing about this inflatable pool it came with an electric air pump. the neighbor who gave it to the children thought it's a great help for their daddy to set up and deflate. The air pump's a great help. But still it is him who does all the work. :D
yes, they really enjoy it everytime.
