Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was in the market to buy a rebounder to start my exercise program. After researching the great benefits of jumping I went on Amazon to purchase a mini trampoline/rebounder, and boy, how do you even decide with all of the choices, styles and price ranges. As I live in an apartment the criteria were that it had to be space saving and quiet. I find reviews helpful in my decision making, and after reading reviews of many different offerings I decided to buy this one. So it's been a couple of weeks since I've been using my rebounder and I will give an honest review of my purchase. Pros- Many reviews state that the metal springs are sqeaky. Not with this rebounder, it's very quiet and stable even on a more forceful bounce. The bounce is not so soft that the mat sinks into the floor, and not so hard that it propels you into space. It has a comfortable medium bounce that is easy on the knees and ankles. The stability bar is sturdy. The springs are entirely covered by the skirt. I was afraid that my foot would somehow get tangled under the skirt, but not so. Cons- Although it folds in half, you have to unscrew each leg and remove the stability bar before storing it. The stability bar takes effort to remove for storing. So off to Amazon I go to see if I can purchase one that is better space saving and less effort to store it. I purchased a different rebounder that was more expensive, folded up small and the legs are spring loaded so they don't have to be removed. I was hopeful that I had gotten just the rebounder for my needs. Well, here again I will give my review for this more expensive rebounder. Pros- Can be stored in a small space out of the way. Collapses into a small size and the spring loaded legs just lay bent against the frame. Stability bar is easy to remove for storing. Cons- The mat is tight and every bounce is felt in my knees and ankles. The springs squeak with every bounce. The skirt leaves half of the springs exposed, and yes, my foot got caught in one of them -ouch. The stability bar is wobbly. So even though it'll take a little longer to store, I am happy knowing I have a quiet and stable rebounder. I will be keeping my first purchase.
