As the UK swelters through another 30°C heatwave, paddling pools have flown off shelves across the country. However, Amazon Prime members can still order the Bestway 12819 Inflatable Pool with next-day delivery, earning a 4.3 out of five-star rating from shoppers who call it a 'godsend'.
Product Details and Features
The Bestway 12819 Inflatable Pool is a family-sized rectangular pool measuring 211cm long, 132cm wide and 46cm high. Made from durable vinyl with two inflatable rings, it holds up to 400 litres of water. A repair patch is included for small punctures. The pool is recommended for children aged six and over, with adult supervision required.
Shopper Reviews
One buyer said: "Really happy with this pool. It is big enough for 4 (not over large) adults to sit in without being monstrously big, hence not excessive on water consumption to fill." Another described it as "a godsend during the heatwave," adding: "Absolutely loved this. Only used twice, but what a great item." A third reviewer noted: "With these heatwaves, I decided to get a small pool for the hot days. I love this little pool."
Some shoppers reported issues: one three-star review stated: "Bought this for the kids early summer, first use all was good. The second use was a couple of weeks later, and the lower ring deflated... then another week or so later, and 3rd use, both rings now deflate." However, another hailed it as "Brilliant value large paddling pool," adding: "arrived early, easily inflated... and has stayed up for a week with no need to put in extra air."
