BestwayPower Steel 18' x 9' x 48" Oval Metal Frame Above Ground Outdoor Swimming Pool Set with 1500 GPH Filter Pump, Ladder, and Pool Cover

The pool arrived on the date it was supposed to. The delivery driver was very nice and placed the package right where I wanted it . The box the pool was in was in great condition.

The pump is junk, and the solar cover barely fits and is a nightmare to get on.

We assembled this pool about four weeks ago and it hasn't leaked yet. We could have used a couple extra hose clamps (different sizes), a couple extra fasteners for the assembly. Our pool blew over in a windstorm before it was filled and we lost (they broke) a couple of the white plastic fasteners that hold the frame together. So far, gorilla tape is doing the trick. I'm using the Bestway salt water system and sand filter and the pool is doing great! We have it on slightly unlevel ground and it's not an issue this year, but we will definitely level things out more for next year. We also put down foam squares underneath the pool and it makes it a lot more comfortable on the feet!One last thing: the directions left something to be desired, and it would have been helpful to know that you need to push out the wrinkles before the water goes in.

PLEASE think about buying a different brand pool. I bought this pool (18'x9'x48" oval) last August (2024). I finally was ready to set this pool up in the past month, for the first time. I paid to have someone level the area of the yard that I intended to put this pool. Then, the person who leveled the yard offered to put the pool up for me. NICE! However, I hadn't even gotten the pool half full of water when I notice the long sides (18' sides) are literally bowing in towards the water of the pool rather than staying firmly in place. So, I drain the pool and set it up again but used patio blocks underneath the 6 u-shaped supports (3 on each 18' side) and started filling it again. NOPE! Not even half way full and the same issue. My fear was the pool wouldn't hold up and that at some point the bowing sides would literally just collapse into the pool. So, I emptied the pool and decided to call "Support" from Bestway. 1st, a heads up.....When you go to their website it is impossible to send them a message or find an actual phone number to contact them. 2nd, if you google to get a number to contact them you will get a working number. BUT, if you have to call them back and you google again you will then see that there are at least 5 different numbers shown on various blogs. Supposedly Bestway USA is located in Arizona. Yeah....The USA headquarters may be in Arizona. But, the customer support is just like every other company...People in a room in India somewhere who have little grasp of the English language and even less knowledge or care about your situation. They're getting paid whether you get any help or not. UGH!! Anyway, called them and they emailed me a "tutorial video". NOT HELPFUL! It wasn't even the same type of frame that my pool has. It was a video for a much older version of this pool. Totally irrelevant to my situation. I called them back at the next newest number I located on google. Honestly, didn't intend to try to get anymore help from them. Told them what I thought of their service, that it was obvious they were working phone banks in India and that I would NEVER buy another Bestway product and hung up. Seriously, save yourself the frustration and buy from a different company.

We purchased the 9' by 18'. Great pool for the price.Enough room to cool off. Ended up with bigger pump as factory pump broke first season, but that's what they do. Only downside is that it made me lazy last summer due to the heat, I worked and hit the pool. I really like the oval shape for my small yard.

Good build, no leaks so far. Easy to assemble. But I’m giving it three stars because Walmart has this exact same branded under the Coleman name, for $488. Same ladder, same motor/filter/pump, same click lock frame technology. Exact same pool for $200 less y’all.

I waited a year to write this review because I wanted to see how well the pool held up through the first summer and if taking it down, storing it, and bringing it back out would meet my expectations. Given the expense, I wanted to ensure I could get more than one summer out of it.I'm happy to report that this pool is hands down worth the money. After a full summer of use and then storing it over the winter, it still looks as good as when I first bought it—no rips, tears, or any signs of wear. The durability has truly impressed me.The only minor issue is that the original pump seemed a bit underpowered for the size of the pool. This year, we upgraded to a sand pump for convenience, but the original pump was still functioning; it just required more frequent shocking than I preferred.My kids have so much room to play in this pool! There's enough space for a net and at least five people on each side to play comfortably. It has provided endless fun for my family and friends. If you're on the fence about investing in this pool, go for it—you won't be disappointed!
