The B-Bounder is a very large rectangle (57"x44") that folds very easily in half. It is a softer bounce, though, than some rebounders, so it's not so much for fast movements like running. It does include the bar as well. I am able to store mine in a very small space beside my washing machine.
It's gone way down in price. It's at Amazon for $82.99: https://www.amazon.com/bOUNDER-Exerc.../dp/B085SZBL9T I don't think that includes the DVD that originally came with the package, though. But it's great quality and I really like mine! ETA: It looks like that listing actually does include the DVD too! Also forgot to mention that it's very lightweight, easy to carry and assemble/disassemble.

I can get a good cardio workout on it, as long as it's just continuous movement. I do a lot more side to side bouncing on this than on previous rebounders because I have the space. But you can't do intense up-and-down rapid bouncing/jumping on it. The mat isn't nearly as tight as some other rebounders, so it's definitely for a more gentle workout. You definitely aren't going to be able to do something like the URX-MT workouts on it. Basically, you need to keep your feet (or at least one foot at a time) connected to the mat most of the time. You can use the bar for leverage if you want to get some more height or a little more air between you and the mat. It works really well with Suzanne Bowen's Barre Amped Bounce DVD. ETA: I find it's good for bounce-dancing, lol! Just put on some music and move around. There's a lot of space so you can pretty much do whatever you want!

Here's a YouTube video with a full B-Bounder workout with Bernadette Giorgi. You can get a better feel of how they are able to move on the rebounder: https://youtu.be/MQwigpRKsqQ
They show the most bouncing movement starting around the 27:30 minute mark.

I have a Bellicon & I’ve had a Jumpsport before. I had a b bounder for a while last year, got an amazing deal on it. I thought I’d like the larger mat & the bar for walking & barre workouts. It definitely has a harder bounce than my Bellicon & it was quite a space hog, it’s pretty big even when folded. It doesn’t have the quality of a Jumpsport or Bellicon, but it’s a decent piece of equipment for the price. If you had young kids, they’d love it too, my granddaughters definitely did. I ended up selling it as took up a lot of space & I wasn’t using it enough. I found it cumbersome to move or fold up.

The comparison is definitely based on what you're used to!
