Toy Quest (Manley Toy Quest) Complaint - Defective Sidewinder Slide - Banzai Sidewinder slide

Banzai Sidewinder slide - Complaint
Review by sschiano on 2009-07-01
My slide had the same issue as the other post on here. The lining on the top of the bumpers (yellow) only just started flaking off. It only happened in this area. We bought ours last year - this is only the 2nd season. I called customer service who recommended taking it to a pool place to repair but otherwise they did nothing. The side of the product says not to go back to the store with issues - but calling them is no help either. Avoid these if you can - $450 for only 1 years use.

Bot, you'd have to be some tool to recommend this thing considering all the reported problems.
Posted by zzrokk on 2009-07-01:
Agreed. You'd have to have the IQ of a fish to buy one of these things!
OP: Thanks for the heads up. (VH)

A product rip off indeed.

Sometimes you just have to stick with the basics (slip and slide) instead of trying to turn your backyard into Six Flags.

*twenty dollar swimming pools and getting wet with the water hose agrees*

Anyone for a water balloon fight?
Posted by KingJames on 2009-07-01:
right on, zz, right on. and on that note, whatever happened to making a big ole mud puddle in the back yard with the garden hose? grab yourself a piece of plastic sheeting and you've got the greatest slip 'n' slide known to mankind.

I hate reading these posts. Every time I see the ad for one of these, I want to jump up and buy it, only to read here that they are junk and a waste of money. It's just that they look like so much fun. :{(

OF, these these days the kids will probably whine about the water being too cold, you know?
Yeah DB, go put on a t-shirt.

Ken, I still kick myself for getting a Johnny Lightning 500 instead of a Hot Wheel Racing Set when I was a kid!
The JL 500 commercial looked SO cool! It was junk!!!!

T-Shirt? I wasn't gonna wear any T-Shirt...but hey, if you want me to go put one on, I will.
