Sainsbury's has reduced the price of the Bestway 7ft Rectangle Paddling Pool to £15, a 25% saving from the usual £20, as a heatwave sweeps across the UK. The inflatable pool, which holds up to 450 litres of water, is designed for children aged three and over with adult supervision and features extra-wide sidewalls for strength and stability.
Deal Beats Competitors and Includes Garden Essentials
The Sainsbury's offer undercuts rival retailers such as Argos, which sells the same pool for £25, while Amazon lists a larger 850L model for £44.62, according to the Liverpool Echo. The pool inflates in approximately five minutes using quick-release air valves, though an air pump is not included and must be purchased separately.
Alongside the paddling pool, Sainsbury's has discounted a range of summer outdoor items. The X-Shot Water Warfare Micro Fast-Fill Water Blaster is now £3.99 (was £6), a pump-action water pistol capable of firing water up to 26 feet. The Stay Active Splash Out toy, a water balloon game, costs £7.50 (was £10). Picnic essentials include the half-price Sainsbury's Home Scandi Wiggle Picnic Rug at £6 (was £12). Outdoor games such as the Wooden Snakes and Ladders (£11.99, was £18) and the Wooden Tumble Tower (£19.99, was £30) are also on sale.
Customer Reviews Praise Durability and Value
Although no reviews have been posted on Sainsbury's website for the pool, it has received glowing feedback at Argos, where over 1,100 shoppers have given it an average rating of 4.5 stars. One reviewer said: "This pool is a great shape and size if you don't have a large garden but want a pool big enough for children to play. I would say three to four younger children could play in the pool comfortably. It seems very durable, inflated easily and remains inflated when in use."
Another customer wrote: "Absolute life-saver during the heatwave. It is incredible." However, the same buyer advised: "Don't forget to buy an electric pump. It's a lot of paddling pool to blow up with a manual bicycle pump." A third reviewer added: "Great for the price. Inflates easily, stable when filled, our last one lasted for a few years. Doesn't leak and is quite easy to empty."
Additional Outdoor Deals Available
For those seeking more active garden entertainment, the Swingball PRO Tennis Ball Game is on sale at Amazon for £34.99 (was £44.99), featuring adjustable height and an all-surface base. The Sainsbury's sale includes a range of picnic and game items, with savings up to 50% on select products.
