The hunt for the ultimate summer bargain is on, as shoppers are snapping up a self-erecting paddling pool that has been hailed as "a heatwave saviour." The Intex Easy Set Up 10 Foot Pool has seen its price slashed by 20%, with the new £42.99 price tag significantly lower than the original £53.
Ideal for both kids and adults, this 10ft wide by 30 inches deep round pool is perfect for keeping the whole family entertained through the warmer months. Thanks to its three-layer reinforced material construction, it's promoted as puncture-proof and robust, ready to handle a full season of fun.
Featuring a 'fill and rise' system, the above-ground pool simply expands as water is added after inflating the top ring. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here
With its straightforward setup, those sweltering at home could be taking the plunge by tomorrow if they take advantage of next-day delivery options available to Amazon Prime subscribers.
Inflating a paddling pool often feels like a daunting task, however, Amazon claims that it only takes about five minutes to inflate the ring, and filling the pool with water can be done in 40 minutes, reports Nottinghamshire Live.
Alongside the pool itself, buyers receive a filter pump, protective cover and even a repair patch kit for any tears. Although designed for children six years and older, the pool is also a breeze to drain and fold away when the summer sun sets.
If you're eager to make a splash without waiting for delivery, Argos has the Funsicle Round Frame 10ft Pool available for £150. While it's a bit pricier, this pool boasts a sturdy snap-in frame, making it an ideal semi-permanent addition to any garden and can accommodate up to five people.
For those with larger outdoor spaces, the Large Bestway Framed Pool is a steal, reduced from £159 to just £64.99. It's available in three sizes so you can choose how big you want it.
Amazon's Intex 10 Foot Pool is proving popular, with a glowing 4.3 out of five stars from over 36,000 reviews.
A pleased customer shared: "This is a fantastic pool, massive and brilliant. Price wise I think this is really good value compared to paddling pools, because it is so much better and I feel sure it will be reusable for years."
Another satisfied purchaser remarked: "It's an instant fun pool. I know it sounds simple, but it was fantastic on a hot day, and my teenagers spent hours sitting in it, sipping drinks and chatting."
A third pleased customer shared their satisfaction with the product, saying: "We got tired of having to replace the children's garden pool every few years because of both punctures and unattractive discolouration of the plastic. These Intex pools seemed of much stronger, durable design."
Yet, not all feedback was glowing, as one buyer left a two-star review, voicing their issues: "The top is constantly deflating, within 2 weeks the top is deformed and sometimes the top is flipped over and the water spills, so I have to rush to lift it up."

Nonetheless, the Intex pool has largely been met with approval. One particularly thrilled reviewer gave a five-star rating, stating: "I bought this as a replacement for our family holiday to Spain. (Thanks Covid-19) If you're drunk enough, and the sun is hot enough, it's like being on holiday. As pools go, this one is nothing short of fantastic. Get one."

Amazon issues warning to Prime users over cyber scams
Amazon is alerting its 200 million Prime members to a sharp rise in cyber scams just weeks before its biggest-ever Prime Day event, set to begin July 8. The online retail giant says fraudsters are ramping up efforts to steal customer accounts and payment details. Amazon found that impersonation scams spiked by 80 percent during Prime Day in 2024, and similar schemes are already underway this year. The most common tactics involve fake emails and text messages designed to look like official Amazon communications, often containing malicious links or requests for personal information. Cybercriminals are seizing on the hype and urgency surrounding the four-day sales event to lure unsuspecting shoppers. With global sales expected to break records, shoppers are urged to be cautious, avoid clicking suspicious links, and report any suspicious messages to Amazon. 'Independent sellers sold more than 200 million items during Prime Day,' Amazon said in a statement. 'Prime members in the US chose to consolidate their deliveries on millions of orders, saving an estimated 10 million trips.' This year's Prime Day event will run in 26 countries, including the US, UK, India, and Canada. Ireland and Colombia are joining the list for the first time. To counter these attacks, Amazon said it removed more than 55,000 phishing websites and 12,000 fraudulent phone numbers last year. Scammers rely on urgency and fear, often warning users their account will be locked or charged unless they act immediately. Victims are frequently asked to verify account details or resolve fake issues by providing gift card numbers, passwords, or one-time passcodes, methods Amazon states it never uses. In November, the company found that 94 percent of global impersonation scams came through email, text messages, or phone calls. Two-thirds of those scams focused on fake account issues. To verify if a text message is truly from Amazon, go to the Message Center under 'Your Account.' Only legitimate communications from Amazon will appear there. Moreover, before clicking on email attachments, review the sender's address. Legitimate Amazon emails will come from an '@ address. Check the 'From' name in your email to see the full sender address and check for misspellings or suspicious characters. In March, the company tweeted on X that impersonation scams on social media have jumped 33 percent since December 2024. 'Scammers monitor customer complaints on comments, then respond using fake accounts,' Amazon said. The company emphasizes it never asks customers to click external links or move conversations to private messages. While earlier fraud attempts focused on account access, by May 2025, payment fraud had become the most reported scam, accounting for 38 percent of cases. Amazon reminds users: 'We will never call or email you requesting sensitive information like passwords.' The company has issued clear safety steps: Always access your account through the official app or website, never respond to suspicious messages, and report scam attempts through Amazon's help center or self-reporting tool. Additionally, Amazon encourages customers to enable two-factor authentication, avoid reusing passwords across websites, and turn on app notifications to confirm legitimate account activity. 'Count to ten before you act,' Amazon advises, stressing that any message pushing urgent action is a red flag. In March, Amazon also warned about 'Membership Renewal Scams,' messages prompting users to renew services by entering payment details on fake websites. To avoid delivery scams, Amazon recommends buying directly from the company instead of third-party sellers whenever possible. Items shipped and sold by Amazon are more likely to qualify for fast Prime shipping, arrive as advertised, and offer easier returns. Some customers report receiving refunds for defective items without needing to return them, due to Amazon's streamlined internal process.

Beat the heatwave with bestselling garden pool now just £21 in Amazon sale
The Intex 6ft Easy Set Pool is now £20.99 on Amazon, down from £25.66, making it a great-value way to cool off this summer With summer heat coming in fast, a reliable and affordable garden pool is the perfect solution to keep cool without leaving home. The Intex 6ft x 20in Easy Set Swimming Pool is one of the best-rated inflatable pools on the market, and now it's even better value. Currently available on Amazon for £20.99 - down 18 per cent from its original £25.66 - this model has racked up over 36,800 reviews with an impressive 4.2-star rating. It's also the number one best seller in inflatable pools, and for good reason. This particular version of the Easy Set Pool measures 183cm x 51cm, with a water capacity of 886 litres, making it ideal for kids and adults alike. Setup is quick: only the top ring needs inflating, and as it fills, the pool builds itself. With three-layered sidewalls, a drain plug for easy emptying, and sturdy materials, it's designed to be a step up from standard paddling pools. Other sizes are also available, ranging from 244cm x 76cm up to a massive 457cm x 122cm. Those after alternatives may also consider the Benross Sun Club Rectangular Pool, currently £24.99 with a 4.1-star rating, or the Bestway Rectangular 7ft Paddling Pool, available for £20 at Argos. But for many, Intex's pool stands out for both build and performance. One satisfied buyer called it a 'fantastic pool'. They added: 'I was sick of paddling pools which puncture when you look at them. This one is so much better, big enough for 2 lilos, 2 adults and a child to splash around in.' Intex 6ft x 20in Easy Set Swimming Pool £25.66 £20.99 Amazon Shop Product Description They noted it took six hours to fill, but they plan to keep it up all summer, saying: 'If I can keep the water clean, then it's probably less waste than refilling a flimsy pool every few days.' Not all buyers were as pleased, though. One reviewer said: 'We've had two of these 6ft pools and on both, the ring didn't inflate completely.' Despite using both a manual and electric pump, they found the top ring stayed limp. 'It functions,' they admitted, 'but we'll go for a non-inflatable pool in future.' Still, others found it made an excellent staycation substitute. One wrote, 'I bought this as a replacement for our family holiday to Spain… If you're drunk enough, and the sun is hot enough, it can be convincing.' They inflated the pool by mouth and said it 'filled in less than two hours'. The kids loved it, even if their splashing interrupted the parent's wine-time. However, another user had a more unconventional use. 'I bought this pool purposely to put my 5 large koi carp in while fitting a new pond liner.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Though the pool 'did the job,' they had issues inflating it evenly and said the plugs leaked slowly over decking. They concluded: 'I wouldn't say don't buy it, but I'm not sure how long it would stay inflated for a summer garden pool.' Despite the mixed feedback, the general consensus remains strongly in favour. One reviewer summed it up simply: 'Excellent pool and well worth the money. Bigger than expected, but not complaining at all.' Whether used for swimming, lounging, or even housing fish (temporarily), the Intex Easy Set Pool continues to win over thousands with its ease and value.
