Intex Jumbo Ball (42 inches) 🎈 (Pack of 2): Massive Fun for All Ages! Review

Use ours in the pool by jumping and counting how many times we hit them. Both children and adults liked it. Great hand exercise. Bounces better than small balls. Make sure to put it on on windy days. Can fly over the fence.

I didn't receive it on time so I haven't opened it for months. When I did that, there was already a hole in one of the balls! Luckily he has a patch kit. I patched it but I don't know how well this patch will hold up. Seems durable. 9 kids have played with it and it hasn't burst yet.

In addition to their fun looks, these balls are durable and very useful. I bought these specifically to place in my pool to keep the cover out of the water. This allows the chemical cup to float freely when the filter is running. It also keeps the lid wide enough for the sheets to slide off.

They were great, they were even bigger than I expected but just what I wanted. They are very strong, in fact they were TOO strong for what we used them for (spraying water arrows on them to propel them forward, we didn't have arrows with enough power to take them very far!), but we did they used about 4 hours outside in the heat on the sidewalk and they still look like new.

bought 2. One has survived since purchase a few months ago. My kids lean on but don't sit on it. Another could not endure a picnic with many children. I don't know how he got out. It takes a long time to inflate with a bicycle hand pump (I think more than 20 minutes). I recommend a plug-in pump if you have one. Once inflated only 1 ball will fit in the back of an SUV with limited visibility behind - obvious when you read the dimensions but worth considering.

I was concerned by some of the reviews I read before purchasing. But I was very happy with the quality of this ball. It is made of very thick material and is very durable. This should take a long time. But it's true that it's really hard to blow it up. It's not perfectly round either, but it can become round if you fill it with air. For what I used it for I didn't have to fill it to the max. I used it to hold a leaf netting over a backyard pond.
