Our Opinion
When it comes to choosing between an Intex and a Bestway pool, the decision can be a tough one. Both brands offer high-quality products that can provide hours of fun for the whole family. Here at The Parent Game, we recently had the opportunity to test out both pool brands and we’re here to give you the inside scoop on which one we would buy again.
First up, let’s talk about Intex. We were immediately impressed with the variety of pool sizes and shapes that Intex offers. From small inflatable pools perfect for little ones to large above-ground pools that can accommodate the whole neighborhood, Intex truly has something for everyone. The setup of the Intex pool was relatively easy, with clear instructions and minimal tools required. We also liked the sturdy construction of the pool and the fact that it held up well to regular use.
On the other hand, Bestway also has a lot to offer in terms of pool options. We found that Bestway pools tend to be slightly more affordable than Intex, which is definitely a plus for budget-conscious families. The setup process for the Bestway pool was also straightforward, but we did notice that the materials felt slightly less durable than the Intex pool. However, we were still able to enjoy plenty of summer fun in our Bestway pool without any major issues.
So, which pool would we buy again? While both brands have their pros and cons, we ultimately decided that we would go with Intex for our next pool purchase. The overall quality and durability of the Intex pool just can’t be beat, and we feel that it’s worth the slightly higher price tag. Plus, with so many options available from Intex, we know that we’ll be able to find the perfect pool to suit our family’s needs.
In conclusion, whether you choose Intex or Bestway, you’re sure to have a splashing good time this summer. Just be sure to do your research and pick the pool that best fits your budget and preferences. Happy swimming!
