We have one. This is our second year and thus far we love it. We plan to move in a few years when the kids are all out of school so didn't want to spend money on a regular above ground or a below ground.
Upkeep has been minimal. I use a pack of Shock and Swim once a week, have a floating thingy that I put two chlorine tabs in once a week and run the filter 24/7. Running the filter an hour a day or whatever they recommend just doesn't cut it in my opinion.
We mainly got it because my wife wanted it to lounge in but my three sons (two teens and a Marine) and myself have gave it a hell of a work out and have not beat it to death yet.
