Misty Kingdom - Inflatable Combo Bounce House with Blower - Premium Quality - Holds 6 Kids - Wet/Dry - With Slide

I was very hesitant on making such a large purchase without seeing the item first. Like you I read through all the reviews to see what other parents thought about it.Hopefully to put your mind at ease, this item is so well worth it. I bought this for my three year old's birthday. He loves it and everyday he ask when he can play in the castle.The only reason I bought this item was because I felt throwing $150.00 away on a jumper rental for one day seemed wasteful. So I scoured the internet for two months researching for a suitable bounce house. This was by far, the best result: size, quality, and price. The product can be purchased from its website for no sales tax, but I decided to buy from Amazon for peace of mind due to it's price.I haven't use the water feature yet, due to the cold weather.The Pros:1) It's easy to set up, however heavy. The castle blows up in less than two minutes.2) The quality is excellent. It held up to three adults (weighing 125 lbs, 139 lbs, and 165 lbs) and a three year old (33 lbs). Keep in mind, the adults were not jumping or rough housing in it, I just wanted to test the quality. But I played in it with my son with no problems.3) Very large. I don't know how some reviewers fit this thing in their living room, but there's no way I could get this in mines.4) It comes with a good quality blower, stakes (to pin the castle down), water sprinkler accessory, and a storage bag with handles.The Cons:1) It's heavy, you need two people to carry. You can do it with one, but I use a wagon to move it around.2) The slide is not very slippery. You can't really slide down it, but my son doesn't mind.3) Deflating, packing and storing takes a while. If you don't get most of the air out of it, it's rather hard to pack, so you have to roll it up a couple of times to squeeze the air out.Over all, the product is great. Watch the instruction DVD that comes with it and you'll be fine.

I did a lot of research on several different bounce houses. I wanted one with the slide and ball pit feature attached which this one had. I also wanted it big enough for more than 3 kids which this one can hold several small children (adults can also fit with plenty of room. My husband and I sit in it all the time with our kids). I also wanted it to be small enough to fit inside our home. We have a giant family room and it fits-very snug-but works nonetheless. We were nervous to spend the extra 200-300 bucks for it to have EVERYTHING we wanted but we chanced it and are thrilled with the results. Our kids love it and it has been a hit at birthday parties. Granted, we haven't used the water feature or taken it outside. We really aren't planning on it because we want it to last and get many years of use so I can't say if the water part is good or not but everything else is great! It's also easy to fold up and stuff in the bag (all things considered). :) I'm a pretty small person and I can pack it up and move it on my own (small distances). Anyway, this was a great buy. If it doesn't last at least five years, I may come and change my rating because then it's not worth the money but I don't see it being a problem. Very good quality and sturdy.

I can't believe I bought this, and I can't believe how awesome it is.With two young boys and living in the Midwest, my husband and I had talked about getting a much smaller bouncy house to help survive the next Polar Vortex winter stuck indoors with the kids. This came up on a Lightening Deal and it was a total impulse purchase. I read and re-read the measurements online and kept thinking, "I think it might fit?" My intent is to only use this indoors and thus never use the water feature. I figure once it's used outside, I will never want it set up inside again.Let me say, this thing is HUGE, but I think the height measurement is overstated. We have an "open concept" layout ~2,300 sq ft ranch home and, after moving some furniture out of the way, there is pretty much nothing else that can go on inside our home while this is in use (but that's not a problem!). In the week between when I purchased this online and when we set it up for the first time, I was seriously concerned about the locations of ceiling fans, etc. Floor to ceiling this room is JUST shy of 8 feet. The very tips of the castle spires occasionally graze the ceiling (depending on overall weight distribution within the unit). When empty, it does not touch the ceiling. I'm guessing the box height measurement includes the stakes that go into the ground or something.For inside space planning purposes: remember that you'll need a good 5-6 feet behind the structure for the blower.Again, this is huge - the bouncy area itself is like a California King size bed.As for using it - THIS THING IS AWESOME. My 13 month old is enthralled with the tiny slide that goes into the main bouncy area. There is no air padding under the two lowest zones, so we just make sure there's a comforter under it and he's quite happy to play there. The 3 1/2 year old (and my husband) have a blast jumping in the main area. Not gonna lie, I took a few turns down the big slide as well... It recommends a max of five 100lb users, so I took that to mean 500 lbs total. I wasn't holding back! It held my husband and I along with both kids just fine. Very impressed with the quality.One thing to be aware of is that there is netting on all of the external walls (and the top at top of the slide only) but there is NOT netting BETWEEN the bouncy area and the big slide. So a child going down the larger slide could instead crawl back into the main bouncy area. Seemed strange and I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. It also encourages kids at the bottom of the slide to use that as an entrance instead of going back up the small slide where the velcro opening is. This could be an issue with a huge group of kids when you are trying to enforce a designated turn-taking route.Overall, I think this is totally worth the money. I will update my review should we have any issues with the product, but so far so good. I'm looking forward to inviting some friends over to test drive this even further!
