I am very happy with my BSCAN fitness rebounder! I read reviews on a lot of rebounders before deciding on this one. I didn't want to pay a lot since I was new to rebounders, but I wanted a sturdy one that I would feel safe on. I am a 65-year-old grandmother and am in good health and pretty good shape but I'm not a young gymnast! A lot of the reviews I read said the rebounders were bought for children, so that concerned me. Also at least half the reviewers of different rebounders said they were very difficult to open and assemble. Most people said you needed two people to put it together. The BSCAN had more positive comments about opening and assembling, but this one even had some comments about difficulty. There were also complaints about some rebounders making too much noise as they squeaked badly. Another consideration was the handrail. Even on this one, there were complaints about the handrail being flimsy and not sturdy.
So, after comparing several mid-priced rebounders, I narrowed it down to this one.
I was very pleasantly surprised when I decided to try to put it together by myself. It was extremely easy to open and to assemble. It took me less than 30 minutes to put it completely together by myself, including the handrail.
I have yet to hear a squeak from this rebounder. It is absolutely silent. It has perfect tension and bounce, not loose at all, but not too rigid, either.
The handrail is made well and feels study enough, but, when assembled, it isn't as tight and locked in place as it should be, but that may be because I don't have it screwed in tight enough. I want my husband to look at it to see if it can be tightened more. Even saying that, though, it is sturdy enough for me to use it and is not a big issue for me. I may even eventually take it off. Hopefully, my balance will improve with use so that I won't need it.
So, I am very pleased with this purchase. I have recommended it to 2 people already, and I've had it less than a week. This rebounder passed the test on all on my major concerns with flying colors. You can't go wrong with this one!
Update: I've now had this rebounder for 19 months and have used it a good bit. I still have no complaints at all about it. I no longer use the handrail, so I have taken it off. I have had some pretty serious issues with weakness in my ankles and using this rebounder has strengthened my ankles which in turn has improved my balance.
It does creak a little now, but it doesn't bother me.
I was recently rear-ended while sitting still in a drive-through and had to see my chiropractor 3 times a week for about 4 months. Even though I had to cut way back on time on the rebounder, the chiropractor told me not to stop it completely because it is so good for me. Just thought I'd share this good word for rebounders for those who are wondering if it's really that good for you.
