WOW Sports Giant Inflatable Floating Water Slide (2-Lane, 9 ft)
The most-proven slide — and it is not a pool slide — The deepest owner base of any inflatable slide we found (732 ratings) and still only 3.7★, which is the category in one number. Read the name carefully: it is a FLOATING slide, built to be tethered in open water off a dock or a boat. Owners who set it beside an in-ground pool are the ones reporting seams letting go within hours.

Pros
- By far the deepest owner base of any inflatable slide in the category — you are not guessing
- Two lanes, so two kids go at once, which is most of the fun

Cons
- 3.7★ across 732 owners, and the recurring report is SEAMS: separating, bulging and leaking, sometimes within hours and commonly within a season

- Owners report the graphics and vinyl fading fast in strong sun
- More than one owner reports the maker not responding on a warranty claim
