Outstanding Service
Warren was great from start to finish.
I contacted Happy Hideouts to double-check the availability of the Intex Ultra XTR 16' x 28" swimming pool, as other sites were claiming to have it in stock when they didn't. Warren confirmed he had it, let me arrange a collection, and even had it ready and waiting when I arrived.
Thanks to his fantastic, personal service, I got the pool up and filled just in time for the hot weather and May half-term! It’s rare to find a business owner so helpful and genuine. Happy Hideouts is definitely on my preferred sellers list now. Thank you, Warren!

Product is good and the seller is great
The product is good. The kids really love it. It helps me to be more active too. Happy Hideouts were really responsive and great to deal with.

Great product and service
Great communication from Warren, we had a wee issue with our delivery which was sorted immediately! Really happy with the trampoline, it’s great quality, I am sure we will get lots of years of run out of it, our little girl loves it!!

Perfect for older kids and adults.
Ordered this playbase to meet the needs of my growing autistic 14 year-old who still likes to swing. As well as my older son who likes to work out. Really great service received and the whole thing was ordered and installed in 2 weeks.

Great
Very helpful advice from Warren to help choose the right trampoline. Very happy with our choice (and so is our son!)
Caroline Wright
Highly recommended rebounder for mum and kids
Fabulous customer service with a really personal touch. The rebounder arrived the day after purchase. It’s nicely packaged and easy to set up. I didn’t do it as my 11 year old daughter did it for me in 10 minutes. Her top tip is to put on cycling gloves when attaching the last few.
It is a brilliant size. I’m 5 ft 6 and there’s ample space to feel confident you won’t crash on the edge. Fabulous for exercise and lymph drainage. My legs feel really good post bounce.
It arrived at the beginning of the Easter hols and my 11 and 13 year old have barely left it alone. They love it and are far more adventurous on it than I am.
It looks great and is a quality rebounder. We had some gym mats to hand which we put underneath it. I’m not sure if we needed to but it’s on a newly tiled floor so we took no chances.
Great value, especially for the quality. I didn’t purchase a handle but may get one down the line as they can be purchased separately.

Good service and sturdy product. We paid for the installation as well and the team did a good job of this as well

Amazing service and awesome trampoline! 🙌✨
As a Motion capture artist, I needed something strong and reliable to train on, and Acon has always been one of the go-to manufacturers for intensive practice! 😎
Warren was a pleasure to talk to with quick and friendly responses throughout the whole order process. Delivery was super fast, and everything arrived exactly as expected. 🙌
The quality is amazing, and it's very reassuring to own such a strong and robust trampoline, which will survive my explosive line of work haha! 🎬🥷👊🕷️🕸️
Big thanks to Warren, and thanks so much for such great service and customer care! 😁✨

Jennifer Henderson

Phoned up for advice and chat was friendly and informative. Quality toys and follow up service.
Would highly recommend this company.
P Mowat
Phenomenal service
Happy Hideouts have been seamless - I ordered the Acon basketball hoop, and 24hrs later it had been delivered to my house - What an incredible service - thank you so much. You helped to make a last minute birthday present purchase be the best present! So a big thank you from me.
Andrea
Brilliant bounce
Brilliant bounce!
It is a performance trampoline and came at a significant cost, but we believe it is worth it. It is just so much better than a regular trampoline.
My son has been using this for nearly 2 months now and it is just so much fun!! He can do real skilful jumps on this one.
Good for adults who just want to enjoy a bounce too :-)!
Maybe the net could be a bit tighter - it gives quite a bit if you accidentally land in it
The ordering process and service by Happy Hideouts has been amazing

Description
Is the Thermotec Mini Heat Pump really worth it for above ground pools? Here’s why UK families choose it for warmer water, easier setup and better summer swimming.
The Thermotec Mini Reversible 5kw Heat Pump is aimed at smaller above ground pool setups, making it a lovely fit for family gardens where space and simplicity matter. Rather than dealing with a bulky or overly technical heating system, this model gives you a more manageable way to keep water temperatures more comfortable through the main swimming season.
Because it’s a heat pump rather than a standard electric resistance heater, it’s designed to use energy more efficiently. That means you can warm the pool more economically while making it far more tempting for children, parents and the odd brave grandparent to actually get in.
What's included with the Thermotec Mini Reversible 5kw Heat Pump?
- Compact Thermotec Mini Reversible 5kw Heat Pump design
- Ideal for above ground pools
- Efficient 5kW heating capacity
- 0.98kW heating power input at 27°C/24.3°C conditions
- COP of 5.10 at 27°C/24.3°C conditions
- Useful performance in cooler conditions with 3.3kW capacity at 15°C/12°C
- Bluetooth app control for easier day-to-day use
- Rotary compressor
- Single fan system with horizontal fan direction
- Compact dimensions for easier placement in smaller spaces
- Operating ambient temperature range from -7°C to 43°C
- Water temperature operating range from 15°C to 44°C
How does the Thermotec Mini Heat Pump for above ground pools help you heat water efficiently? Here’s why it can lower running costs and help you enjoy the pool more often.
This Thermotec Mini model delivers 5kW heating capacity at 27°C/24.3°C test conditions, with a heating power input of 0.98kW and a COP of 5.10. In practical terms, that means it produces significantly more heat energy than the electricity it consumes, which is exactly what makes a heat pump such an appealing choice for home pool heating.
Even in cooler weather, it still offers solid performance. At 15°C/12°C, it provides 3.3kW heating capacity with a COP of 3.3, so it still works as a sensible solution when the British weather is doing what it does best and refusing to fully commit to summer.
Why do shoppers searching for a Thermotec Mini Heat Pump 5kW review keep coming back to this model? Here’s why it suits smaller pools and simple home use.
When people look for a thermotec mini heat pump 5kw review, they’re usually trying to answer one very practical question: will this actually make the pool more usable without being a pain to own? On the face of it, this model ticks plenty of the right boxes. It’s compact, straightforward, efficient, and designed in a way that suits smaller family pool setups rather than more demanding commercial-style installations.
It also includes useful modern features that make everyday ownership a bit easier. Bluetooth app control means you can manage settings more conveniently, and its compact body means it won’t dominate the whole pool area. For parents who want straightforward comfort rather than more technical faff, that’s a pretty appealing mix.
Looking for a dedicated heating option? Browse our Thermotec heat pumps collection for efficient pool heating options for above ground pools and larger swimming pool setups, or read our Thermotec Mini vs Neo vs Inverter Pro vs Inverter Edge comparison if you want to compare the full range.
Is the Thermotec Mini right for your pool?
If you want the quick answer, the Thermotec Mini is best suited to smaller above ground pools and straightforward family setups where you want warmer water through the main summer season without overcomplicating things. If your pool is larger, more exposed, or you want stronger heating earlier and later in the season, it may be worth stepping up to Neo, Inverter Pro or Inverter Edge.
Please note: suitability depends on pool volume, whether you use a cover, your target water temperature, and how early or late in the season you want to swim. If you are unsure, it is usually better to check what size Thermotec heat pump you need first rather than guess and hope for the best.
| Model | Best for | Recommended season | Max pool size / volume | When to choose it |
| Thermotec Mini | Smaller above ground pools | Main summer season | Up to 10m³ | Choose the Mini if you want a compact, simple heat pump for everyday family use in a smaller pool. |
| Thermotec Neo | Buyers wanting more efficient everyday heating | Longer swimming season | Varies by model size | A good step up if your pool is larger or you want stronger all-round performance. |
| Thermotec Inverter Pro | Larger pools and stronger heating demands | Extended swimming season | Varies by model size | Choose Pro if you need more output and want a more capable inverter heat pump. |
| Thermotec Inverter Edge | Buyers wanting a more premium inverter option | Extended swimming season | Varies by model size | A strong choice if you want a higher-spec setup with more advanced performance. |
