Not sure if I should buy a cheaper Urban Rebounder (~ $119) or this Rebounder (~$299(). Please advise

Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily? Every once in a while? 10 minute sessions? 30 minute sessions? The more use, the more you need a sturdier model. I bought this one to replace the one that we had bought 15 yrs ago that had begun to wear where the fabric attached to the clips that hold it to the frame. Ours ReboundAir Standard that we have now is used by 2 adults who weigh 160-175 lbs each. Used by at least one of us daily. Still looks & as good as it did when we took it out of the box 2 yrs ago; feels like it has the same amount of bounce, too. From what I can tell at this point, it looks as if it will perform as well as the previous one did.

I did a lot of looking before I bought this rebounder. I am very pleased with it. I would definitely recommend this one. It may cost more but it's worth it.

I can't speak for the cheaper Urban rebounder; I purchased my Rebound Air model back in Feb 2012 and have been very pleased with it. My daughter uses it more often than I do now-a-days, however when I do get on it and perform rebound work on my recovery workout days, I haven't noticed any "rebound weakening" aka worn-out springs over the past 21 months of usage.Good luck with your decision!

I paid closer to $55 a couple of years ago. It sounds like supply vs demand at work here.The plastic ball return is convenient but not worth the jump in price. By the way, it is extremely sturdy. My son is 4 1/2 and he still plays with it regularly.

I have a 14-15# version, and like the others have stated, it's got very little bounce. It's great for resistance, and I've been doing floor slams with mine, and it's got only the slightest bounce. If you want bouncy, Valeo's basketball-style medicine balls are great. They have a good amount of bounce considering the weight.

I would assume its the measurement with the rebounder on it. I don't know about the model number. Yes, it comes with two CD's & a exercise chart. Good Luck!

Absolutely! You could position it by the pool and practice rebounding for sure.Good luck!

You are correct, I took out the stop brackets. They make the carriage too short. I bought some pipe insulation (black foam tube) and inserted this over the carriage brace up near the top to make sure the carriage doesn't bang into the top of the rebounder and this gives you another 2 or 3 inches. If you are a tall person, I think this is an issue. I am short.

Get the bigger one. it is cheaper (now it is on sale for under $100) and you will get more parts (shelves and bars) that will make it even more flexible

I agree, go to the store and get a small foam ball. Neither the ball nor the hoop will take much space.

If you can get that player for $29, go for it. There is very little difference in the capabilities of these two players.

Definitely not a rebounder type product and I'm not sure of any on the market. This is a solid mobile goal for the kids though!

I would say "just right." It feels the most like a big trampoline of the small ones I've tried. I've had my rebounder for about two years and still use it all the time. I love it.

I weigh 120 and it popped on me, they are going to make a 5000 pound ball, they sent me one to replace mine. I don't know if they have them for sale yet, you might want to contact the company. Also I have a play ball that I have had for 20 plus years, you might like it better, made by Sport Fun, or at least that's the name of it. They used to make 3 sizes, I used it to bounce my daughter, and now my grandson to sleep several times a day, it has held up beautifully. I know it holds 300 lbs bouncing.. I can tell you the new black mountain ball is much sturdier than the old one, and far thicker material. Hope this helps.

I'd say the rebounder takes over 300lbs safely. It's an excellent piece of equipment. Very sturdy.

I didn't even see that info on the maufacturer's website. My husband weighs 180lbs & has used it every day since I got it for him 1 1/2 yrs ago - no problems. It has a Lifetime Warranty. http://www.reboundair.com/schedule.htm

As I understand it, not the same ball NBA plays, though your cost is due to it being a true leather ball with the specs of NBA. I've never played with a true NBA ball, so can't tell you the difference, but there are many reviews by those who have a good idea. Search the ones that gave the ball the lowest ratings, and you will find the answers to that question.

There isn't a huge difference. If I was you I would go with the heavier hoola hoop though. I got the 3 lb one and now that I'm used to it I really wish I had gotten a heavier one.
