Nice pool but not very wide only being 8 ft, used to having 14 ft round previously. Easier to get wrinkles out of floor bottom vs round. Would have rated 5 stars but due to needing covered unless being used rated a 3. Major dislike have ordered pool cover after pool cover, and cannot find one to fit! Obviously this pool was manufactured with NO cover in mind to fit. However they make them for rectangular and 7 ft wide and obviously not for oval and 8 ft wide. If you don't need cover great purchase, if you will need cover move on, wish I had. Our pump inside at water return has black sticky goop on sides from using, assuming from housing motor, this after a month of use after purchase. Also in regards to set up, when filling & rechecking regularly one of the pins popped out of side U extended leg and consequently permanently bent the straight pipe on side, making the manufactured hole bigger & bent around it. After completely emptying pool to repair this after it was almost filled, major disappointment & waste of water. Ended up being the pin was defective and manufactured a bit smaller than the pin on other side of U side piece, now we have a lovely bend in the pipe and have to use a rope tied to a block to keep the pool side taunt so the pin doesn't pop back out causing further damage. The 2 top side rails also bow in, not nearly strong enough to support weight of water, hopefully Funsicle can made a part to correct this and send no charge to buyers.

This pool was easy to set up with two people. The pump is not a large enough (pump to water ratio) to keep the pool clear. Knowing this would be an issue, I went ahead and just bought a sand pump at our local pool supply store. It's a Jacuzzi for soft sided pools. My husband retro fitted it and our pool is nice and clean and clear. It's been a lifesaver for me this year. Plan on using this pool for several years until we can get a larger one. I recommend this pool, but only as long as you're prepared to get a larger pump/filter.

So far the pool is nice. We had a small leak in the filter pump housing and funsicle sent a new one quickly. The side rails on either side do push out inward, but doesnt seem to be a problem or at least yet. Funsicle is aware of it and has been great with their customer service.

Perfect for summertime with children. Easy to set up, easy to maintain. My 3.5 year old and 13 year old have a blast!
