the blow up ones wont last that long because kids are ruff and they get holes in them pretty easy. unless your using for little kids and you take of it.
the hard side ones are better and hold alot of water and my kids really enjoyed theirs for 4 summers before throwing it out, but you must fill on a level surface. i believe there called snap side pools, perfect for the 2- upper ages.
pump pools come in smaller sizes for little kids and are good they require cleaning filters replacement and chemicals and it can get expensive and need to check water daily and chemicals as needed, we have a really large one but i make kids help with cleaning.
there are also the hard pools that you just fill and let the kids play. they are good ,easy to clean, and put almost any where for the kids to play, but they are a hassle to store due to cant fold then or collapse them.

Define good. Do they last the season......they could if the family is careful and you don't install it over something that could tear the bottom. The filters are a bit undersized.......assuming you are looking at the one with a filter. Water starts to get guzzy after a few days. So you need chemicals and filtering.
I wouldn't leave it up over winter like you would with a larger pool. So you have set up and take down.
Since they aren't very deep, they should warm up. You still have to mind trash blowing in such as leaves and other debris carried in by the family and misc floating bugs......bugs like a drink too.
Still, it would be a nice intermediate step between the shallow play pools and going with a 48 inch deep pool. See if you family/kids would really use the pool that often to justify going to something larger.
