Pros: Easy set up
Cons: Inflated ring leaks air, recirc pump problems

In terms of setup, this is one aboveground pool that pays off. Ordinarily, I'm not a fan of aboveground pools, although I generally have to buy one every summer for my two girls, 7 & 3. We do our serious swimming at the "Y", but for backyard fun, a ...

Pros: Fairly easy set-up. Comes with everything needed.
Cons: Invest in a better pump. Ring could be more durable.

This is an excellent little pool for the money and easy to set up IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. I've read too many complaints about this pool saying that it must be absolutely level or it will spill over and collapse. I'm still trying to determine ...

Pros: VERY easy to set up if you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Cons: IT'S A POOL! Meaning, it's a sort of money pit. a FUN money pit though!

I think the main thing you want to remember is that it's called "EASY SET". It's not called "Quick Set" and it's not called "Easy Set and you never have to do another thing to it". Set up is EASY. We set our pool up on our cement pad deck. It's NOT ...
