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.

We were getting ready to have our son's 3rd birthday party and looked into renting bounce houses locally. They were over $200 to rent when we could purchase one for $400...then we saw this one...for an extra $200 we could have fun all summer using it wet. Well, the party was awesome and the kids loved it. We decided not to get the balls - hundreds of little balls does NOT sound fun to me but when we have our next son in June, we might decide to get them for him as littler ones really love ball pits. But kids from ages 1-10 or 12 loved this bounce house and didn't get bored. The kids keep asking me to get the hose out...when the weather cooperates we will. The quality looks great, it's quick to set up. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I can tell it'll be a challenge to get dry and I think that although the price isn't bad, the difference between a $400 one and $600 one is some straps to hold the hose and a plastic hose attachment...for $200?? Seems a bit high - I can see maybe $100 more at most. Anyway, I may update as we use for the summer but it's a great investment for us having a 3 year old and baby on the way.
