B-Bounder by Bernadette Giorgi

Not sure how new of a product this is, but I just saw it on the QVC website:

http://www.qvc.com/b-bounder-Trampol...1142101&sc=CRT

Looks like it has a larger surface area than most round rebounders, and a really good alternative to some of the more expensive options out there! Plus, it gives me an excuse to purchase Suzanne Bowen's Barre Amped Bounce DVD

as I currently only have the Urban Rebounder, and no bar attachment.

wow! This looks great!
The price is not bad at all. Do you know of the guarantee/warranty information on this?
I think it is very new. Thanks for posting.

I don't have any more information than what is on the QVC page, but I'm going to order it. It does seem like the reviews on there were posted by people that use the rebounder in Bernadette's classes (and maybe they own their own as well), but I think you're right in that it is very new, and I don't think there has been time for any buyers reviews yet. If it is indeed the same as what she uses in her classes, then I imagine it's designed for heavy use.

I figure only time will tell how well it stands up to use, and I honestly don't know that I will be a heavy user, maybe only a couple of times a week, or short bursts daily. I like the fact that it seems to fold up pretty well, as I don't have a space to leave it out all the time. I do think I will end up using it more than I use my Urban Rebounder. I had been considering one of the more expensive bungee rebounders, but I think this is a good alternative for me right now.

I can definitely post my first impressions once I get it, but again, unless it is just obviously cheaply made upon first glance, it really will take time to see how it holds up.

Thanks for posting Stephanie. I've wanted a rebounder for quite some time; but didn't have the space and was unwilling to spend the money on a more expensive unit. It appears to fold nicely.

I often have problems with my feet, I was worried about losing my balance without a barre to hold onto. I like that this unit does have a barre.

I ordered; looking forward to receiving it!

Thanks again!

It looks great!

It does look great! If I didn't already have a Bellicon, I would order it for sure!

I love the size of the mat and the barre attachment. I'd be interested too if I didn't already have a Bellicon. Donna & Stephanie, I look forward to hearing how you like it!

Me too! It looks great. The bounce looks fairly firm, which is what I miss with my Bellicon even though I have extra strong bungees. It would be perfect with Suzanne Bowen's Barre Bounce DVD.

I wonder what the quality is, especially if you can change the bungees (straps?) if they wear out?

I wonder if those bands will wear out?
