This is me. I just bought a jumpsport a month ago. I love it but the surface is a bit small. However.........I don't use it that much. Maybe a few times a month. Compared to my cheapo spring rebounder it is heaven.

Yep. I have a Needak that I got from Craig's List a couple of years ago and I really want a Bellicon. I need to save up for it, though. I do any higher impact cardio on it and it has really helped me out.

Another one with a Bellicon here. I got the 44 inch one with extra strong bands. I don't know how I could bounce around on anything smaller because sometimes I feel it's still not big enough and I'm only 5'0. I have the folding legs and I LOVE that feature! It means that I can keep the unit in the living room and move it in to another room to watch TV. I aerobically bounce for 45-55 minutes as I watch TV and it is very quiet. I use a heart rate monitor while I'm on it and I stay nicely within my range. Bouncing gives you such a lift and makes you happy. When I first get on I always squeal a bit like the Pillsbury doughboy.

rrrrmmmm... so, you all really have me wanting a bellicon!! However, it is a big investment, obviously. I wish I could go to the store and try it out before buying. My biggest issue is that I live in an apartment and want to be quiet. Thankfully, I do live on the bottom floor.

I wanted to get the one with the fold-up legs, but the comment about the one with the fold-up legs being squeaky has me re-thinking. It's an extra $50, but I would love to roll it away and put it in my closet. How squeaky is it? Is the one with the screw-in legs really that much quieter? Can someone give me any more perspective-- especially maybe someone who has the one with the fold-up legs?

I have the fold up legs and I can be on it approximately 7-10 feet from the TV and I don't need to turn up the TV volume any higher than I normally have it. Hope this helps. I haven't noticed any squeaking myself but when the legs snap into place I think it's a little loud.

I have the folding legs and have NEVER heard anything squeaking. It's like jumping on a cloud it's so silent.

Thanks for your input, Susanna and Deana! I am definitely leaning towards the folding legs. It just seems so much more convenient

No problem! For me the folding legs were non negotiable; I wanted something that could easily be stored away when needed. Plus since we have probably two more military moves ahead of us before retirement, I wanted the carrying case, so that's why I got a 44 rather the 49! I've had enough stuff broken and damaged by moving contractors and didn't want anything to happen to my Bellicon, insurance or no!

How heavy is it? Is it easy to actually move?

It seems like rebounding is perfect.

If you're asking me, I find it easy. I just roll it on its edge if I need to move it. It is nice and solid but easy to roll.
