5 Things to Know Before Buying the Jumping Jam Inflatable Water Slide

Setup takes about 45 minutes You will spend nearly an hour wrestling a large vinyl inflatable into place. This is not a quick backyard toy.

Kids will love it for one afternoon The slide combines a slip-and-slide with a bounce house. Expect it to be a hit for exactly that day.

The blower runs constantly The air pump must stay on the entire time the slide is in use. This means continuous noise and electricity use.

Wet surfaces become dangerously slippery The stakes and vinyl get slick when wet, creating a slipping hazard. This is separate from the intended sliding.

Deflating and drying is a chore At the end of the day, you must drain, dry, and pack the slide. This process is tedious and easy to rush, risking mold.
