Intex pool
Pool is overall pretty decent. There are, however, several things to be aware of before you buy one.

1) The setup is a *major* pain. The diagrams in the product guide show two people putting up the frame and lifting it. This may be true for the smaller size pools, but certainly not for the 24x12. It takes three people, preferably adults to raise the frame in a stable position, and I don't want to even think what the next size up requires. Overall, between the unpacking and the actual setup, you can count a good afternoon worth of work, and that's before starting to fill the pool up.
2) They say that you need a flat surface to set it up, and they really mean it. Even a very slight incline can prove problematic. This is probably not as much of an issue for the smaller sizes, but finding a perfectly flat surface that stays flat for the full length of the 24x12 pool can be an issue.
3) You should know that when you are about midway through filling up the pool, the outer frame along the longer sides of the pool will severely bend inward because of the pressure differential between the bottom part (now full of water) and the top part (still empty). That can be worrisome, but eventually evens out as the pool fills up.
4) Taking the pool down is also a chore, especially if you don't do it when the weather is still warm and dry enough so that there is enough time for the pool to easily and quickly dry-up on its own. You also need to be careful as you fold it and pull the lining, as it is actually relatively easy to puncture it and the pattern on the inside of the pool makes it hard to detect this (you don't want to find out about it when filling it up the next time around).
5) The water pump clogs up regularly towards the water intake of the pump and if you have a salt-based catalytic converter to produce "chlorine", you need to reset it quite often. You should also consider changing your filters weekly rather than bi-weekly.

Overall, I don't completely regret the purchase, but given the hassle involved in setting up and taking down the pool, an above the ground pool might in the long run be a better choice even if it does cost more.

Pool Review
This above-ground pool is even better than we imagined - and we expected a lot! We love it. It is large and of obvious quality. The best purchase we've made all summer. The pump it came with was small and we replaced it with a larger one, which makes a big difference. We also added a couple of sets of solar panels and now it is just wonderful. We get into it at the end of our workday and its like slipping into the bathtub in terms of comfortable water temperature. We also added the salt water system and are very happy with it.

Great family pool for the money.
In the pictures, it didn't appear that the sides were soft - they looked like gray plastic to me. When we opened the pool and saw that it is little more than a metal frame and a liner, I was very skeptical that I wouldn't end up with 8400 gallons of salt water in my yard when we were done.

In fact, it is a wonderful pool. We got the 12x24x52 size and it is perfect for the four of us. And they're not kidding when they say it is a complete pool kit. It comes with an excellent filter, an easy-to-use vaccuum, and a skimmer that keeps debris from the surface of the pool. The ladder was pretty standard but we replaced it with steps for my disabled daughter.

Set up is a little tricky - easier with three than two people. You must follow the instructions exactly and put concrete pads under the struts, but it's not complicated.

In a few years we may trade up but for now, this is a terrific pool and making for a fun summer for my family.
