Wow, Amazon is selling massive water slides — for just $47
With summer in the offing, you're probably gaming out where the family's going to venture for a couple weeks' vacay. And that's great, have a blast, but how are you (and, more important for your nerves, the kids in your life) going to stay occupied and entertained for the other two-plus months? The answer's right out there in your backyard...but first, it's at Amazon. We give you Jambo's Premium Slip Splash and Slide, which will keep those children active, smiling and cooled off all day and (more good news!) exhausted by bedtime.
And the winner is...you! The kids are happy, you're in full chillax mode and you've scored a killer deal on an item that will stow away in a snap and provide fun for many summers to come.
As you can see above, this is the XL model — that's 20 feet of industrial-grade PVC —more than enough for even a full-grown adult to have a satisfying slip and slide. And its 6.8-foot width accommodates three "racing" lanes — last one to the end's a rotten egg! Along the way lucky sliders are doused via end-to-end sprinkler holes (fed by an easy-peasy hose connection) that are, as the manufacturor puts it, "specially designed to give maximum wetness, for maximum wheee!"
Can this deal get any better? It can! The Jambo XL Premium comes with three body boards, perfect for increasing glide and speed (but not to worry; there's a raised crash pad at the end of the slide to protect the little ones from friction burns...or you know, from flying off onto your patio, where you're trying to get your schmooze on, thank you very much). And all of it comes with a one-year warranty.
What more could you ask for? Oh, yeah; some testimonials from people who've bought the thing!
Amazon shoppers have sprinkled their love on the Jambo to the tune of 2,400-plus five-star reviews. Here's a sampling:
The Jambo sent this generous dude, who bought one for his nieces and nephews, into nostalgia mode: "This is a throwback to my childhood with major improvements. Not every backyard is appropriate for a pool. And even if you do have a pool, there’s just something special about running through a sprinkler.... This toy is all fun and no risk."
"OMG, it's wonderful," rhapsodized this nana. "Absolutely love this extra long slip and slide. Grandkids just won't stop playing with it."
"What I love about this water slide is that all of my kids can use this all at once rather than taking turns," said a crowd-pleasing dad. "Whether it's one, two or all three, they love going down this water slide. The material on this is very durable, even when I connect the hose to it.... I have even gotten on this, and you really do get wet. Really helps keep you cool. Fun for the whole family."
Summer's comin' at ya faster than these speed demons are approaching the crash pad. The meaning of this metaphor? Grab one of these before they sell out!
