mini trampoline comparison: my two cents

In two weeks I tried 3 different mini trampolines. Here is just to inform you my experience

1st one:  Golds Gym .  I bought this one just to try if I will stick to it. Loved it at the beginning, as I burned a lot calories in one session. It is very quiet, counts # of jumps, duration and calorie for me, with the elastic bands that trains upper body musle.  Everything looked perfect, until I loved it so much that I bought a more expensive one...  Now this one is to be returned

2nd one:  Maximus Pro.  I bought this one because I wanted to try if more expensive ones give better bounces...Supposely the steal iron spring system is very durable and gives soft bounces.   Boy, what a difference!  Once I am on this one, I get to know what is real "bouncing".  The Golds Gym cheap one instantly feel very hard and doesn't give much bouncing at all. I have knee problem. With Golds Gym, my knee will hurt after each session, but not at all with the Maximus (I did follow the instructions on correct posture and foot position from online videos you guys recommended. Thanks :)). 

But, its footprint is signicantly larger, the skirt doesn't cover the top, and it is quite noisy...   I definitely can not bounce while watching TV.  Turning up the volume on TV is one option, but there are other people in the house and it will be selfish of me using loud volume. It has to go back. Sorry!

3rd one: Jumpsport 350i.  This one is the winner.  I puchased the Maximus instead of this one because I heard that boungee band trampolines tend to loose elasticity and breaks after a couple years.  The Maximus failed on me, so I have to turn back to this one. From Costco, if it dares to break within 2 years, I can always return it back to store.   Once it arrives, I love it!  Even softer bounces than Maximus, very very comfy.  My knee actually feel better, warmer, totally relaxed after each exercise session. It is very very quiet, sturdy, the DVD came with it doesn't have much bouncing, but rather strength training that you can do with this mini trampoline. Love it, LOOOOOV it!   It feels so happy when I am bouncing.   My husband did the DVD with me. The design, the sturdiness of the legs, the height, all perfect for all the exercises when I follow the DVD.

This is my journey and experience.  If anyone knows a deal, please pass along.  We want a second one so Hubby can jump with me
