Promising review: "These fans are a great value. The fans are in an outdoor covered picnic area. We tried the fancy ones, with remotes, etc. The remotes got wet, wouldn't work, and the fans were then junk. No replacements available. These fans work perfect and no muss no fuss! Highly recommended and saved us serious cash to boot!" —mrujoint

Promising review: "This is a very good quality pool, especially for the low price. The only heads up I want to give is that if this is your first time setting up a pool as well, make sure that the ground you are putting it on is smooth and even!! We are about to set our pool up for the second time because I was too impatient to keep leveling out the ground. So we ended up with the deep end and a shallow end lol." —Nicole
