The quest for the perfect summer deal is in full swing, with customers snapping up a self-erecting paddling pool dubbed as "a heatwave saviour" from the sweltering heat this summer's weather keeps delivering.
The Intex Easy Set Up 10 Foot Pool is a tempting way to keep cool in the garden and is a popular choice with customers, able to boast Amazon's number one best seller in the inflatable pools category and over 4,600 five-star reviews.
This 10ft wide and 30 inches deep round pool is ideal for both children and adults, providing endless entertainment throughout the balmy months. Its three-layer reinforced material design ensures it's puncture-resistant and sturdy, ready for a season of enjoyment.
The above-ground pool features a 'fill and rise' system, expanding as water is added after inflating the top ring. With its easy assembly, those suffering in the heat at home could be cooling off by tomorrow if they utilise the next-day delivery options available to Amazon Prime members.
Inflating a paddling pool can often seem like a daunting task, but Amazon assures that it only takes around five minutes to inflate the ring, and filling the pool with water can be completed in 40 minutes.
In addition to the pool itself, purchasers will receive a filter pump, protective cover, and even a repair patch kit for any rips. Although designed for children aged six and above, the pool is also easy to drain and pack away when the summer sun fades.
One delighted buyer commented: "This is a fantastic pool, massive and brilliant. Price wise I think this is really good value compared to paddling pools, because it is so much better and I feel sure it will be reusable for years."
Another happy purchaser noted: "It's an instant fun pool. I know it sounds simple, but it was fantastic on a hot day, and my teenagers spent hours sitting in it, sipping drinks and chatting."
Alternatives to the Intex Easy Set Up 10 Foot Pool include the Funsicle 9ft Octagonal Family Paddling Pool priced £55.00 from Argos, one of the only product in stock from this retailer, and the Bestway Family Paddling Pool in the largest size of 305cm x 183cm from Amazon priced £44.39 after a 15% discount.
For those keen to dive in without the wait for delivery, Argos stocks the Funsicle Round Frame 10ft Pool at £150. Though slightly more expensive, this pool features a robust snap-in frame, making it perfect as a semi-permanent garden fixture that can hold up to five people.
Those blessed with more expansive outdoor areas will find the Large Bestway Framed Pool represents excellent value, slashed from £159 to merely £64.99. It comes in three different sizes, allowing you to select the perfect fit for your space.
Another contented customer expressed their approval of the product, stating: "We got tired of having to replace the children's garden pool every few years because of both punctures and unattractive discolouration of the plastic. These Intex pools seemed of much stronger, durable design."
However, not every review was positive, with one purchaser awarding just two stars and expressing their concerns: "The top is constantly deflating, within 2 weeks the top is deformed and sometimes the top is flipped over and the water spills, so I have to rush to lift it up."
Despite this, the Intex Pool l has generally received favourable responses. One delighted customer awarded it five stars, commenting: "I bought this as a replacement for our family holiday to Spain. If you're drunk enough, and the sun is hot enough, it's like being on holiday. As pools go, this one is nothing short of fantastic. Get one."
