Mostly worth the price
We've had it for about a week and it's done well. It says 30 inches of water but it's probably more like 25 at best otherwise any movement in the pool and the water pours out the sides. Otherwise it's been a good purchase.

Not Happy
I bought this pool a few weeks ago. When we received the pool both ends of boxes were opened and parts falling out. No book was enclosed with a listing of the parts enclosed Or instructions how to put it together. Legs don’t seem too sturdy to hold the pool. We figured out how to put it together and Then we put the cover on and it is too small for the size of the pool. We were excited waiting and then disappointed. Not happy at all. Probably won’t recommend to others.

To many different pump and fikter sizes!
Kids love it and that’s all I care about! I do wish this company would just make one or two filter sizes for this size pool! I buy one every year and all three have had a different size pump and filter!

Do not shop at this store
I would have put 0 stars if I could. I spent 4 hours setting this pool up for my kids this summer, wasted thousands of gallons of water for the bars support bars to crack right in half the next day. My kids didn’t even get one chance to swim. I’m sure you can imagine the disappointment. I emailed and called target for them to tell me that they will not refund me until the product is taken down and brought back to the store. Even though I told them it was a hazard for my children. So I will be spending another few days of my time that I don’t have to drain, take apart and drive this to a store 30 minutes away. I’ve provided photos of this product to them. With no compensation for my labor I will not be shopping with target EVER!

Worth it!
This pool was easy to set up and seems to be sturdy enough to last. My three kids and our dogs took a quick toll on our easy set pool last year, so we decided to up our game a little bit this year. I didn’t want to spend my summer patching holes and hoping to make it last. This pool definitely fits the bill! It’s durable and strong and I’m so glad we gave it a try.

Holes in Pool
Upon setting up and filling this pool with water, we have already found multiple holes.

Pump sucks
The pump is way undersized for the size of the pool.

Perfect for kids
It is the perfect size for my kids to play and swim in. This is our first framed pool so it is definitely sturdy for wild kids like mine.

GREAT POOL!! Very easy setup.
Great quality for the price and very quick and easy to assemble. Pump works great. I clean it daily. So far 1 week everything good as it was since day 1. I read some bad stuff about it but I had no issues and even shipping was fast

Poor quality
This above ground pool filter is too weak. I professionally hired a reputable pool specialist. He stated the filer which came with the purchase is too weak to manage the volume of water. We have to clean or replace the filter every week. The material at the bottom is weak and is indicating water leakage.

Flimsy liner
Lasted a year. Was very careful with set up storage and maintenance but the liner ripped and flooded the yard. For all they taut being such a durable liner, normal wear tore it in very little time. Seems maybe the pole design leaves too many exposed edges.

Not a bad pool, easy to put up, just don't hold up
I bought this pool two years ago. Pump is junk so you will have to spend money buying a good one. Liner is good, no problem with it. The frame has lasted two years and is now all rusted out, I don't mean little rust, I mean half the horizontal bars are ate through with rust. I was going to replace them but they cost as much as a new pool by the time your done. If you just want one for a couple years, you're good. If you want it to last longer, then good luck.

Do not do it! Save yourself a huge headache! Junk!
We have the 13’ version. The pump is worthless and doesn’t clean the water at all. Bought the Bestway vacuum kit and it was completely worthless. It is very hard to keep the pool clean due to its lack of skimmer and total lack of suction on the pump. Save your money and a huge headache. There are no returns once you open the box! Almost like they know it’s junk. Would give it zero stars if I could.

Durable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good and strong pool one of the best i have ever used so far. Its not difficult to assemble and easy to set up. The pump makes it a bit easier to keep it clean.

Quality pool at a low price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely floored with this pool and the quality of it. For the price I feel like you’re getting a really really good deal. It’s super durable and also really easy to set up which is something that I was a little concerned about. My husband and I were able to set up in about 30 minutes. It was really fast. We were able to move the pool to a different location before we put water in it and it was super lightweight, but also the liners super thick. I’m not worried about my dogs punching a hole in it from the out or anything. I love that it comes with a filter so I don’t have to worry about all of the dirt that gets in it throughout the year. I was expecting the pool to be smaller. It’s actually really wide and it’s about 3 feet tall so I’m able to just hop over- I don’t need to buy a ladder or anything. I will say the only thing that I had to buy a pool cover and a net to get the leaves out but I feel like for the price it’s worth it and the pool cover and the net were really cheap as well. If I were to be on the market for a pool, I would definitely choose this option over and over again because it’s really great quality for a low price. I’m super stoked because this will be my four month old first swim so I’m excited to be able to do that at our house.

Only lasted 2.5 months before leaking
Only lasted 2.5 months in a normal midwestern summer, so not quite our whole summer. Sprung a leak in the side and have to get another pool for this summer. Was hoping it would last more than one summer and it didn’t even last an entire summer.
