BCAN 450/550 LBS Foldable Mini Trampoline, 40"/48"/50" Fitness Trampoline with Bungees, Adjustable Foam Handle, Stable & Quiet Exercise Rebounder for Kids Adults Indoor/Garden Workout

BCAN 450/550 Foldable Mini Trampoline 48" arrived quickly and with no damage. The package was well packed with styrofoam protection and all parts secure in plastic bags. Nothing missing...I received 2 extra bungie cords. After reading documentation I found setup to be quite easy. Everything went together as it should with only a small issue with one of the handrail leg screws being a bit tight going into the frame threading. This is my first rebounder so I can't compare it to others but it seems firm yet offers enough bounce for me (200lbs). Some suggestions: 1. Take some (or more) of the pre-installed bungies off in order to make unfolding much easier. 2. Install the hinge pins on top of the frame instead of the bottom as indicated in the manual (see images) in order to reduce possible chafing/abrasion against bungee cord. 3. After hinge pins are inserted, set the trampoline on a raised surface (a bed) to make installing the bungees easier. 4. Pay attention to the placement of the rubber covered metal bungee clamps, they should be placed (poorly shown in the manual) in a position between the mat and the frame (see images), not in the metal bracket attached to the mat (as I have seen other purchasers do, which may have caused premature failure). 5. Because there are a lot of bungies (40 on the 48") there will be a few that will rub against parts of the frame hardware and may cause some amount of chafing/abrasion with usage. (Personally, I'd prefer a non-folding version of this trampoline that did not have the folding hinges which I believe might contribute to chafing/wear.) Try to place all bungies so as to cause as little abrasion as possible (no twists or overlaps). I am satisfied with this purchase so far. I only plan to use it for light bouncing 7 days a week for 10-15 minutes. I have to be realistic about how long before a component will break. 100 bounces/minute x 10 minutes/day x 7 days = 7000 bounces/week. The BCAN website itself advertises an elasticity test of 30000+ for the bungies and their manual does mention the need for inspecting and replacing components caused by normal wear. Warranty on bungies and mat are 6 months...everything else is 1 year. That said, it appears to be a solid product for the price and hope to get good use out of it while keeping in mind that I may have to replace something eventually.

I bought this rebounder for exercise in the winter months when it’s too cold outside. I love it, it’s good for lymph drainage, increases my energy. It provides a good workout and is actually quite fun. I notice my balance improving and strengthening all over. There are lots of YouTube videos for exercise ideas. My husband easily assembled it and we feel It is very durable and well built. I recommend to my friends instead of a boring treadmill.

I am satisfied so far with my purchase. I got the 48" and I am only a beginner, age 66, but glad I have room in my home for the extra mat space so I can freely experiment with various moves without my feet coming too close to the edge. I lost 5 pounds the first week, even though I only used it a minute or two at a time 4-5 times a day. I am now up to 8 to 10 minutes twice a day, and a couple minutes in the morning before leaving for work. I love that the handle was included, but attaching it is optional. It appears to be well-made and sturdy and a good value for the money. I was able to do the assembly myself without any help. I would recommend ordering some kind of yoga socks or shoes that will grip well, as the jumping surface is slick if wearing socks. Even my sneakers slipped a bit on there. I haven't tried barefoot, maybe that would make a difference until one started sweating...the Walifrey Pilates Socks worked well for me, also a good value for the price, it was 3 pairs in a package on Amazon. I think this is finally an exercise system I can stick with; it is really fun and more of a workout than it looks like on tv if you add moves beyond the basic health bounce.

I just got this after reading how good rebounding is for you . I got the bigger size as it holds more weight according to reviews . If you have the room it’s very sturdy so far . My husband put it together and it was kinda creaky when bouncing , so he got 2 more washers than they give you and added 2 more and it’s now perfect . I’m finding out how out of shape I am unfortunately , as 3 mins in and I’m outta breath . But I like the handle to hold onto to keep you sturdy and straight when bouncing . Maybe I won’t need the bar one day , but for now it’s a good thing to have . So far I would recommend, but have never been on any other rebounder to compare to. For the price it seems very good .

UPDATED REPLACEMENT REVIEW: The company reached out and offered refund or replacement. They had not had this problem before and the kids loved it so much before it broke down that I thought we'd try the replacement. It has been a few months now and it is holding up, sturdy and strong. We did throw the old one away without taking pictures, but I suspect there was a defect of some kind bc the performance of this new one is so much better with probably more use than the previous trampoline. I'm sure this is a great exercise tool but I would also HIGHLY recommend this rebounder as a solution for parents who have kiddos with infinite wiggles to work out:). It's a great size for small homes and easy to hide away when company visits if needed. OLD REVIEW: The bar and one of the legs broke off after 6mo of use by an 8yo and 6yo. The trampoline was assembled per instructions and kids used for jumping to get their wiggles out, pretty mild use given their combined weight is less than 100lbs, tho only one kid jumped at a time.
