Side by Side Comparison of: Intex vs Swimline vs Kemilove

Posted multiple photos of different angles of this pool since I felt like there wasn't a lot for myself to go off of. The pool is 2.5 feet deep. Roughly 5 feet by 5 feet wide. We bought a tarp and put that down on the cement first, then used the air compressor to blow up the pool itself. I attached a picture of the compressor and the air tool we used as well, along with a few photos of the plugs that are in the pool. Took about 10-15 minutes to blow up the pool with the compressor, then maybe 30 minutes to fill it up with water. Comfortably fits my boyfriend and I (late 20's) and our little 7 pound dog and his little raft he chills on. We can both sit on the Bench if we want. Or sit on the floor, without having to sit on top of each other which is nice. With Prime I got it delivered in 2 days, which was awesome with this California heat! Nice to chill in the backyard with a drink (In the cupholders!) Some music, BBQ, and relax a little. Not to bad for the price at all. Definitely worth it for a blow up pool, and so much cheaper than what the stores have to offer.Mini Update! 7-17-17 Pool has been awesome since purchase! Did add a short video to review of trick to draining pool... I made the mistake of leaving the pool completely uncovered AND unused the week of 4th of July and every bug, spec of dirt, and Firework found it’s way into that pool, disgusting! Fireworks are HUGE in our neighborhood so the pool was bad (as you can see, it’s embarrassing) so I typically use a little Tea Strainer to pull any bugs or leaves out of the pool before hopping in (Picture posted) so since the pool drainer hole is on the bottom, I took the end of the strainer and propped it up in there lifting the pool just enough to drain the pool, everything can’t out, I used a little blue dawn soap to scrub out the inside afterwards and rinsed it and let it drain, and actually repositioned the pool in my backyard and refilled it and I swear it looks better than new!! That strainer was AMAZING and saved me a whole DAY of work!!! Still love this pool in this Cali heat!!

I bought this pool. It is awesome. I swam in it with my 6 year old and we had a blast. I’d totally recommend purchasing. He loved it and I loved it. It was big enough for at least 2 adults and 2 kids. We lounged on the lounger and he jumped off of it and played and played for at least 2 hours, maybe 3 hours. It kept inflated and was very sturdy. The lounger was sturdy as well. I was concerned it would not take much weight or might deflate but it held up nicely.

I LOVE IT! I live in the central valley, CA and in the summertime, it's HOT! I started searching for "adult kiddie pools," and came across this gem. I figured for the price, what really have I got to lose? The pictures were deceiving, especially the picture on the front of the box, because I figured I'd be somewhat cramped in this. . .but unbelievably, as a 6'0" tall woman I can recline in this and my feet don't even touch the other side!!!! It is so lovey! I can float in it, it holds much water! I can swish in it ;-) and I can drink beer in it........ALTHOUGH, the cup holders $uck: they aren't perfectly round and they're too shallow to hold anything really, but if that's the worst part of this pool I simply do not care. I've only used it one time, on Memorial Day, and what a perfectly relaxing time I had - my friend jumped in as well later in the day and both of us had plenty of room - you could've even thrown some kids in :-) - but as I've only used it once I can't yet speak to the durability/stamina of this thing.......but so far, so GREAT!

My God kids loved this! The adults loved we could sit inside and watch them all while drinking our wine. Lol. Cup holders are the perfect addition

Love the pool it arrived on time. Easy blow up. Put foam puzzle pieces under pool. It took 4 12 piece bundles. Water week old I am using floating chlorine and skim it everyday. Water looking very clear. Hoping to only empty and refill once a week. Also got 2 solar lights for the pool. We have a light show every night. Have figure out how to do some water exercises. Not a bad pool for this 60 year old girl.

i just got this pool and started to Inflate it . It's amazing! It s big enough for me to stick a float in it and kinda float . Can't wait to use it this weekend . It's not fully inflated yet but here's a photo to get an idea of how big this thing is. It takes up my whole living room . Also u don't have to inflate the bench if you don't want to .

Very fun for the kids and myself! The seat is actually sustainable when a large adult like myself sits on it. The only problem is that it's hard to deflate when there are so many air chambers.

This pool is amazing! It's the perfect size for my kids (4 & 2.5 years) or for adults! I fill it up to about seat level for my boys and they have a blast in it! The drink holders are awesome (though a little on the small side) and it was super easy to blow-up. The headrest did come with a leak, which we haven't fixed yet, so I'm not able to comment on that portion.I would love to give this product 5 stars as it's the best inflatable pool we've owned, but one big problem is the drainage - it only has one small hole. For such a large pool, I would have expected at least 2-3 holes/plugs. It's typically only filled to the top of the seat (so about halfway) and it still takes hours to drain unless you prop it up on something - which, initially, is difficult to do.

I like a lot of things about this pool, but I can not stand the white plastic. It makes it extremely hard to see when it's sunny out due to the reflection of the light on the white areas. If the bottom was blue it would have been a lot better.

We have to fill ours up every other day. It does distort esp if in the sun all day. But hey, it's like 40 bucks, perfect for a couple, my boyfriend and I spend all day lounging around on the bench, listening to music, I love it. Its also perfect for tanning outside bc the water keeps you from heating up. You get what you pay for and personally my new pool!P.s. def look into floating chlorine dispenser (small) and an Intex pump. This way we never have to change the water (hate being wasteful) and it's alwats crystal clear.

My grandchildren enjoyed hours of fun with this easy to assemble portable swim pool. However, I found it a little difficult to empty the water out as the drain was rather awkward. The plug wanted to get in the way of the open drain, mandating that I hold it manually as the water flowed out. That was the only thing that kept this from getting a five stars rating.

Very easy to set up and can really cool you (adults and kids) off without having to buy a large pool. I use chemicals for small pools to keep it clean and avoid having to empty and refill it. The only thing is, it is only 30 inches deep, so when the summer heat really kicks in for a few days straight, the water gets too warm and you do have to empty and refill it. I wish they made these in 36" height. That would be perfect! It's great over-all though.

Didn't take long to start leaking air. It's not a good idea to keep it set up for long as it is actually hard to keep clean.

This Kiddie Pool is great when you first get it and and it holds for at least 11/2 months. The problem I have with it, it doesn't hold the air after it is pumped up. We are dealing with heat at 105 and up in Southern California, Ventura County. I wish I had a pool that we could count on and use everyday. I have to keep putting air in, it leaks AIR through the seams of the pool. For the Price it is okay.

It's large, but the seated section had a small hole in it somewhere because it completely deflated after the first hour of use. Luckily that section is separate from the rest of the pool and the rest of it remained inflated to hold water. However, I bought this specifically for the seat. Oh well.

Love this pool but it leaks water where the air valve is. At first is was hardly noticeable but it progressively has gotten worse. Today the pool was empty when I walked past it. I ordered another and I HOPE I dont have the same problem.

A little bit difficult to drain but a great summer distraction for my 2 and 5 year old grandsons.

We've had two in the past month and both become deformed in a few days. 3 stars just because it's still usable just ugly.

I don't understand why they would make the plugs almost impossible to seal. You get it blown up and then the air releases so fast out of it while you are trying to plug it up. I was at my wits end when I looked to see if anyone else had this problem and someone suggested putting olive oil on it. I didn't have that but I had Pam and used it while pushing with all my strength. I finally got it to seal but of course lost air in the process.

I really like the concept of this product but after 3 units have have varying problems. Two of the drains would not seal so they leaked, one leaked slow, had to fill back up every day a little so the water couldn't stay warm. The other drain leak out mostly overnight no mater what I did. The other had a random leak not in a seam but on an inside ring after a couple of weeks, Be careful not to over inflate.

We've only used it once and so far the air plugs have popped out several times. This morning (<12 hours of holding water) it deflated so much I had to drain it as the weight was too great to accept more air. It is very upsetting as water costs a fortune where I live. If it happens again I will return it. In addition it came deformed on one side.

I wanted to love this pool, and I do!! But.... when I inflated it the very first time, the top ring never to fully inflate. I didn't think too much about it until an hour later when it needed air again :/. The pillow, bench and bottom ring hold air fine, but the top two rings obviously have a leak and I can't find it. Disappointing that it arrived in this condition. I will contact Amazon to exchange as I have enjoyed intex products in the past but I'm annoyed I have to deal with retrying a brand new defective product.

Would have been 5 stars is the bench seat inflated. The back of it inflated but the bench had a tear near the valve. Impossible to patch and too much of a pain to send back. My suggestion would be to inflate the bench prior to the rest of the pool to make sure it holds air.Otherwise easy set up and nice pool.

I honestly do not know how to rate this. It is a cool concept, a pool large enough for younger kids to splash and play and even learn some basics about water and swimming, but has a bench that is "easily" taken down or put up, complete with a headrest and cup holders. In terms of price and size, I was thrilled. I do not want a big pool taking over my yard, but I wanted something big enough to really get in a good soak to cool down. I will break down the different aspects of this pool into a 1-5 scale to give a better idea of what you are getting.Ease of inflation-3: the main rings are easy to inflate, just like any other inflatable pool; the head rest and bench are a different bird. They cannot be blown up by mouth, my air compressor did not work, it was finally in desperation that I got a bicycle pump out and was able to squeeze the valve just so and pump with one hand to get those buggars aired up.Comfort of seat and head rest-5: I am 5'2", 145 pounds, the bench held me easily, was comfortable, and at a height I could sit easily and the kids could still play.Cup holders-2. These are a joke, they angle to the side, so they might hold a closed container, but no soda can!Width-3-the bench goes out easily a third of the way into the pool, making stretched out legs a tripping hazard for hopping kids, problem easily solved if you're short like me: keep legs close.Durability-1 (I would give this a zero or less if possible). The seal holding the water drain section of the pool ripped completely with a gentle tug to get the water drain open--I had not even had the pool set up twenty four hours at this point and it ripped in such a way I had to use a vinyl adhesive and pool liner scrap I had laying around to patch it, because the dinky square that comes with it would not hold the rip together. Also, the plugs for the air in the big rings come undone with very little encouragement, and I am afraid now that too much pressing in (which is what it takes to get the air locks sealed) will cause more ripping.Depth-5 this is the perfect depth for my kids who are 5 and 2. They can practice swimming and such, feel like they're in a bigger pool, and I can soak and be covered to my middle when on the bench. The kids are safe but having fun.All in all, I do not consider this a complete waste of money YET, but I will definitely not be buying another one like this. I would much rather have paid a little more for a higher quality of the same size and plopped a lawn chair in the middle of the pool. Time will tell how well my patches hold up, but I am afraid that before summer even gets really underway the entire pool will be held together by patches.

I was given one of these pools as a gift I didn't have it for more than a week and a half to two weeks and it already developed a hole somewhere somehow so I patched the hole and it got another hole and I have this pool sitting on a big piece of area in my yard on a tarp graded level so now I bought another one and the same thing again two weeks later the bottom ring has a hole in it very disappointing and I love that actual pool itself but the quality no good

I read great reviews. Ordered it. Aired up pool just fine, my problem was I could not get 2 mail plugs to stay closed. I ducted taped then but when it got to wet they popped right off and instantly deflated and there went all the water. Then I aired them up again another day to try again. Same thing, couldn't get plugs to stay shut so I used gorilla glue tape this time, worked fine for awhile but deflated it a couple hours later. I got irritated and threw the whole thing in the trash. A big disappointment for my little ones and I. Guessing I got a defective one perhaps.

Pool was great the first week. After 11 days the top layer started leaking into the bottom chamber. I purchased a second one thinking that I inflated it incorrectly. The second pool lasted 16 days. So I basically spent $100.00 in 2 pools that are BOTH DEFECTIVE!!! It was NOT from abuse or neglect. I have NO children. I was the only person EVER to use it and I never leaned on the sides or overinflated when setting it up. I would love a refund or credit towards a new pool setup as I have purchased a pool previously from Intex and it was amazing and lasted 7 years. Left messages on the customer service line to no avail. That is why I just broke down and bought the 2nd one. Will NEVER purchase Intex products again. Two DEFECTIVE pools in one season?? Not acceptable.

It's great for us adults..but for kids..nope all they wanna do is jump off the seat..and it's really not that big for two adults and two kids..save your money ..plus the seat had a small pin hole so every time we sat down it deflated..don't waste your money..your better off getting the bigger pool with no seats and just put a blow up seat in it lol

Have bought two of these at different times and both of them leaked after 1 month of use. No childen used the pool only one adult. Poor product.

(Update) After some use, the bottom ring air compartment has a leak that needs to be refilled every morning as it goes flat and dumps a bunch of water out. So, it constantly needs to be refilled which is starting to cost and waste a ton of water. The bottom layer gets holes very easily from feet, swim toys, etc. Ours is on a tarp and the weight and pressure takes a while for those leaks to make their way from out under the pool – every other week, I need to drain the pool, flip it and duct tape all the holes and then refill the whole thing back up – it's not easy or cheap. The initial $40 is fine. It's all the other money maintaining and keeping this a 'pool' is what gets you in the end.Well, I guess I got one of the leaky ones. Every morning, I have to refill and top off the air in the two main compartments. It's not too bad and figured it might happen for a $40 pool - I'm sure trying to dry, pack and return this thing is not worth the hassle. Besides that, the kids love it in this summer heat. We can easily fit 2 adults and 2 kids. I have to drain it every few days (draining takes just as long as filling) to rid of the gunk and bugs that build up in the water. 2 stars because of the leak factor...
