The upper limit for the Bellicon is 600 lbs. They no longer recommend the Ultras for anyone less than 300 lbs. But Barb was only posting that information about relative weights to be helpful. I haven't said anything until now, but some comments have been rather mean spirited and I almost hesitated participating in these forums because of it. |

That's the way I interpreted it. And let's face it, not everyone can afford "the best" but also some don't want it. I had a $25 rebounder for years and it worked great for occasional bouncing and kid play. I liked not having to worry about storing or protecting a "Cadillac".

I tend to agree. I understand brand loyalty and cheering for your favorite fitness toy. But IMHO some of the comments came off as sort of snotty/elitist. Are those folks who are lucky enough to own the higher end equipment truly unaware that an extra $500 can put Bellicons completely out of reach for some? I appreciate the people who offered gentle comparisons and focused more on why they enjoyed their choice. Contrary to the taunts of a few, you can bounce and have fun even if you couldn't (or wouldn't) pay a fortune. Lower cost models are also great to test the waters---so you can avoid listing your expensive Bellicon on Craig's list if it doesn't work out.

I believe I started the thread to discuss the PROBounce and its Black Friday sale.
After the thread went off topic, I have answered all questions privately and objectively. I appreciate that some people understand my original intention. The others, I have learned to ignore. Different strokes for different folks Barb S who is still bouncing and having a party every morning and sparks throughout the day without any buyer's remorse

My gripe is with people making remarks that shoot down a product they've never tried - well I guess unless they state in every post in which they do so that they've never used the product of course. Why would you even want to? I also don't see this thread as being totally off subject since the OP started off comparing the knock off to Bellicon. Discussing similarities and differences seems pretty natural. Barb, I'm truly happy that you are still pleased with your purchase. Yes, different strokes for different folks.

Well I just realized that this isn't the thread I thought it was so what I said about the OP doesn't hold water.
That said, the comment that the only difference between a Bellicon and a Probounce is about $500.00 seems rather snide and unnecessary to me, especially when it comes from someone who hasn't bounced on one even one bounce. Yes, I replied in kind. Not my finest moment but honestly if you can't take what you're dishing out maybe you shouldn't be dishing it.
