Is It Worth It?: So what if this inflatable pool is just 36" deep? It's light years beyond the kiddy pools of our day (and takes just 10 minutes to set up!); it even comes with a filter pump! We're pretty sure this pool is a perfect way to keep cool and enjoy the sunshine this summer.
- Craftsman Pattern Master Pulsating Sprinkler

Lowest By: $14Is It Worth It?: Pool not your thing? This a pulsating sprinkler should do the trick. This one even features a unique pattern control and up to 8,500 square feet of coverage. Now that's opposed to "bare feet of coverage," meaning all the kids you can get to run through this thing at the same time. We're guessing that's at least a dozen kids, 24 bare feet, or 708 square feet per two bare feet.
