Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ran for 40 minutes four times a week for 5.5 years on an Urban Rebounder, until it started ripping around the edges. I was going to replace it with a Bellicon, but ended up buying a puppy, so that left less money for the rebounder. So I got this one. Went for the 250 instead of the 350 because I didn't see any compelling reason to pay more for the 350. I actually preferred the skirt around this one. I've never tried a Bellicon, but can't imagine that it's worth that much extra money. The smallish size of the 250 doesn't bother me. All I do is jog, so it's not hard to stay in the middle, even when I'm reading on my Nook as I run (you can do that with a Nook, but it would be harder with a Kindle). This one isn't totally silent, but it is much quieter than my Urban Rebounder was. I can watch TV while running, and can actually hear the dialog, which is a problem I had with the other one. I much prefer to read, though. The skirt does attract puppy fur. I use a lint roller. This trampoline is very stable and seems heavier than the Urban, or at least it's harder to scoot across the floor. This means it doesn't "walk" as I run. That's a good thing. The little grippy feet don't mark the floor (the Urban did), and it sits level (the Urban didn't). Very happy with this purchase, and very glad I bought a puppy, because otherwise I would have spent more than I needed to on a rebounder.
