I have a ReboundAir. I've had it for about 10 years, and it's still going strong. I only recently had to order a set of replacement springs. It's pricey, but worth it. I can't speak to the other two.

I do not recommend an UR. Mine squeaks a good deal and the legs seem to always be wobbly. I won't complain cause I got it at a yard sale and the kiddos like to jump on it...but I'd rather have something different.

What's the difference between bungee and spring trampolines?

I wish I know what I have. I bought it from my neighbor and she had no idea. Mine is big, brown leather and seems to do the job, it bounces with me.

Bungees make the springs feel like concrete.

Barb S, I understand that with the bungee rebounders, you can't do the UR extreme type of workouts. Is that right? I have a friend who has Bellicon and she was saying it was too soft to do the UR workouts.

Did a quick google search and found this site . I used to have the UR but couldn't stand the noise.

Huh -- First, I'm a little suspicious of the love affair with one brand -- they may truly be unbiased, but maybe not. Yes, I'm cynical about these things!

Funny that the Needak gets a review for being too hard of a bounce -- My problem is the opposite. I find myself not able to keep up with fast-paced workouts because the bounce is so soft that one jump takes too long.
