Five Star Reviews: | 27% I always use a pillow in closing my pool. ... August 26, 2017 I always use a pillow in closing my pool. It helps with the cover all season. Though I've never had a cover on my 28ft above ground pool last really more than 1 season. I purchased this product for a different purpose August 5, 2017 I purchased this product for a different purpose. After making several types of "water pillows" for my grandchildren (with mixed results) I decided to get one of these. I filled it with water and it is perfect! The hose fits easily, the plug is water tight and the pillow doesn't leak! The kids have had hours of fun running, flopping and just laying on this water toy! The only time we have had trouble is when the neighbor's dog decided to join in and her claws tore through the plastic. But, at this price, it was easy enough to replace. Great July 20, 2017 Held up all winter. Still had about 80% of the air in it when I took it out to open the pool in the spring. One Big Pillow October 27, 2016 This thing is Huge!!! It took a long time to blow up & we used the air hose of my husband'a air compressor. Aside from that, it is really nice & heavy duty. Keep ya posted when we open our pool up. ) Hope this will be a good purchase! I had looked at former reviews before ... October 7, 2016 Just placed in pool today... used a $15. air pump I bought at Walmart. (took about 15 seconds!) Hope this will be a good purchase! I had looked at former reviews before I purchased it... which helped with my decision. Great product November 18, 2015 It's a big blue balloon. So long as is holds air, we are good. Just know you are not supposed to fill these all the way. You should only fill them to the point that if you step in the middle your foot will touch the ground. | 37% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 11% Don't bother with this unless you pick up around 4 ... March 15, 2017 Don't bother with this unless you pick up around 4 of them. one will not help on a 24' pool. Has stayed inflated but wasn't quite large enough to do ... January 23, 2017 Has stayed inflated but wasn't quite large enough to do the job intended. Elevating the cover to divert rain water. It survived it's first winter June 13, 2016 I feel like this product is hit or miss. I bought this last fall when i closed my pool despite the reviews saying it didn't hold air and mine survived all winter even when the pool froze over. I may have been lucky but i will purchase another one this fall when i close my pool and i'll see how my old one and the new one work over the winter. Basic, but good June 11, 2016 I can see how this could get negative reviews for winterization. I can't see the pillow holding its air for a whole winter. However, I am just using it to put under my Intex cover to keep rain water from pooling. For that, it's awesome. The vendor should have provided some better instructions. February 13, 2015 I put this in my fire pit to keep water from pooling on the cover. I have sharp tempered glass in my gas pit. I didn't fully inflate the air pillow as described in the other reviews. It has been about 4 month, the pillow is still inflated, most of which were over the cold winter months. The valve to inflate was a bit tricky, the vendor should have provided some better instructions. A giant pillow of air, exactly as expected. September 15, 2014 Inflated fine, very large and work well. Unfortunately they are too small for my 16' x 30' pool so I couldn't use them. Not a fault of the air pillow, just my bad. Oh well. They work quite well though! Could have came with a couple little ropes to tie them down, that would have been nice. | 12% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 9% Nice blue color January 19, 2017 Can't really comment a lot about this. It arrived fast and looked nice. After I received it, I decided not to use it. But I am holding on to it just incase I change my mind. good size pillow December 27, 2016 good size pillow, but it doesn't take much for the grommets to get pulled out of corners. Put in new grommets so far pillow has held up. Gives about $8 worth of service. November 12, 2016 Lasted 1 year. Can't expect much quality for $8 shipped, I suppose. did not work for me October 31, 2016 Filled as directions said but when hubby tried to tie it off it got a small hole so it is still under the pool cover flat...maybe he did something wrong, not sure but I think I would have been better off buying a large kid's ball for less price and using that. Gave a 3 only because I'm not quite sure what happened. It doesn't seem very durable though Very easy to fill the pillows December 2, 2015 Very easy to fill the pillows, however, closing the plugs was a nightmare. My husband had to carefully use pliers to squeeze the cap shut securely. That just looks like a great way to cause holes in the vinyl. The size was ok...but over all I feel like they were a waste of money. Even with thpillows the cover doesnt go tight enough to stop low spots from holding water. instead, they created multiple spots. Smart Idea in theory, but I feel it was not a smart purchase after setting it up. | 10% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 10% worked for the winter but didn't hold the cover up ... July 26, 2017 worked for the winter but didn't hold the cover up and grew mold by the time we opened the pool Air inflation method is horrible. Unless you have an air compressor with an ... April 25, 2017 Air inflation method is horrible. Unless you have an air compressor with an air blow tool, good luck filling with air. The company needs to incorporate a different method to fill with air. the opposite of quality December 31, 2016 this will not last until spring - the plastic is so thin a sneeze would puncture it. All to save a penny and get you to buy a new one next year. but the materials could possibly have been better. I gave 2 stars solely for the speed ... December 9, 2016 Every MFG can periodically have an item that falls short their quality control standards, and such may be the case here. The concept with this product is sound, but the materials could possibly have been better. I gave 2 stars solely for the speed of delivery and product concept. My Air Pillow was almost completely flat the following afternoon. I checked the air closure and all seemed ok, but due to not observing any air bubbles from other areas of the pillow, I suspect the closure may indeed be the culprit. Probably just received a sub standard production product. Could have been something I did. December 2, 2016 It was kinda hard to seal after inflation. Finally got the plug to stay in, or so I thought for it deflated soon after inflation after the pool cover was installed. Not the best December 15, 2015 Not quite sure what happened, but on a very windy day we can home and the pillow was deflated in the middle of our above ground pool. It held air fine for two weeks before the storm. We do live in the country where it is rather open but the pool is rather protected by trees from all sides so not totally in the open. | 10% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 43% Don't waste your money July 5, 2017 As can be seen in the picture, 2 of the 3 air pillows I used this past winter failed. One in less than a week. One lasted a month and inexplicably had about a gallon of water in it. Amazon doesn't care. This fall I'll be shopping eBay for ice compensating air pillows. Would not buy again May 24, 2017 It lost air the same day we put it in the pool. My husband removed it and patched the hole and we put it back in and another leak started on the other side on a seam. We just threw it away and bought one at our local pool store Lasted maybe 4 hours inflated! January 22, 2017 It lasted half a day under our winter cover then deflated. Never stayed in the middle. Now it's sitting in our pool until we open it in spring. Can't wait to throw it away!!! Complete waste of time and money! Kept deflating September 30, 2016 Kept deflating...threw them all in the garbage, haven't found a "pillow" yet that doesn't deflate.. Deflated quickly October 10, 2015 My husband inflated pillow and installed on top of pool with intentions of putting cover on next day. The pillow was flat within 8 hours. Defective? Poor quality? Save your money!OK I gave it a try and bought it again and the same thing happened PLUS the hole ripped open.. This is crap! Defective October 2, 2015 Pillow deflated shortly after covering our pool. Probably won't bother trying to get it out until spring. Not sure if this is a cheap product, but it still should have lasted longer than a few hours. | 31% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
