Rebounders

Is there such a thing as a well made Rebounder for under $100.00? The last one I owned I picked up for $5.00 from a yard sale and used it for awhile and then gave it away due to moving. It's been well over 10 years since I've even thought about using one, but now I'm thinking it might add some nice variety.

My first tendency is to shop my local thrift stores and see what I can find. What brands should I be looking for? I have not kept track of anything to do with these. I do know what my "mama's mini trampoline" looks like, but other than that, I'm having to re-learn what's quality and what isn't. Springs vs straps? Size? Collapsible? ..... ????

TIA ~

I got an Urban Rebounder from QVC and I believe it was around $100. I think the quality is pretty good but I never had another brand so I really can’t compare fairly. I know some have said that UR makes a lot of noise and other brands are much better, but they are also a lot more expensive.

You can easily get a spring rebounder new for that price. Having had both springs & bungees, I'd never go back to springs, too noisy & much harder bounce. I've never had or tried one with straps. You might find a used JumpSport bungee for that price. I'd peruse online used/for sale sites. I bought a used Bellicon for less than half price by putting an ISO ad on a local website. Mine does not fold, but I prop it on its side when I'm not using it.

This. I had a cheap spring one and never used it. Got a bungee one and LOVE it. There is no comparison in my opinion.

Check Craigslist. I got my jumpsport on sale at amazon, but it was over $100

Thanks for giving me some options to look at. I'm in no hurry, but would like to get a nice one for a fair price.

I love my little pure fitness 1-2 lbs dumbbells - so cute But I can't comment on their rebounders...look like springs to me?

I had an Urban Rebounder...think I got some closeout deal through Mary for $39 with the DVDs, but that thing was so awful, and squeaky! I got my Jumpsport through Costco when it was on sale and it's worth every penny.

Jumpsport seems to be the brand of choice. Now to find one second hand and not pay the retail price. (I'm sure it's worth every penny, ... if you have all those pennies).

I've had a Jumpsport for about four years now. It was pricey.....dh got it for my birthday. Once you have a bungee you will never go back.

This is what I'm starting to understand.
