We've used it 6 times this summer and so far it's going well. The only issue is the sprayer slightly split even though we don't have high water pressure. Called support and spoke with an amazing representative that mailed the part out immediately. I don't go crazy folding it up each time after use and putting it away with the straps. I find it easier to mostly fold it up and store it under my covered patio with a tarp over it. Concerning the excess water in the inflatable or if any gets into the bladder, which will happen if you leave it out during rainstorms, a ShopVac works well to remove the water. By the way, this is my second BlastZone product, the first being Crocodile Isle. Water did eventually get into the bladder at the end of year 3, but we used it many times. If I get four years from the Chameleon, I'll be happy ($112 a year for a summer of fun). However, considering I know better how to take care of a BlastZone product, it'll probably last 10 years. Who knows? Did I mention the kids LOVE it?
