I was looking for a larger bounce house for our basement for my, at that time, not even 1 year old and her two year old brother. Since playgroup at my house can be crazy, I also wanted to make sure that any bouncer we had could handle quite a few toddlers. Commercial grade bouncers were just out of the question due to cost (usually in the thousands) but this appeared to be at the upper end of the residential grade bouncers and as the company also makes a commercial grade of this same bouncer, I felt they likely knew what they were doing....I was right!

We have had this product now for 4 months and its used EVERY day by at least my children if not a dozen others. No problems, no complaints and it works like a dream. We just leave it out in the basement and leave the quick deflate valve tied off. This lets my 2 year old go down and turn it on himself. My now 1 year old daughter climbs right into the middle and waits patiently as the bounce house inflates around her and then they both go crazy! My 2 year old even turns it off himself when he is done. With the quick deflate tube tied off all the time it just takes a bit longer to completely deflate but that isn't an issue and allows my 2 year old to feel the independence to do it himself.

One review said the bounce house was too firm. No way. It is a larger bouncy and it can handle quite a few toddlers and young children without deflating (the max we have had in it at once was one supervising adult...just sitting in the middle, 7 toddlers, 2 infants and 2 older children). Any softer and the bouncy couldn't handle the volume. Shoot, if my at the time 10 month old can bounce on her knees all over it, its not too firm. Speaking of which, yes a full-sized 200 pound adult can get in...you just can't bounce. There is almost always an adult inside our bouncer because most of the children using it are 2 and under. Toddlers have this tendency to knock over the infants if somebody isn't supervising just because they are toddlers!

In four months of everyday use, many parties and playgroups, we have no leaks or other issues. I am very strict about no toys other than balls in the bouncer to protect it. Do watch if you have it in a basement unless you tie it down somehow as it will drift (as any bouncer on carpet would with that many children bouncing) and it just needs to be moved back into place now and then so the air supply line doesn't get crimped (no big deal). The air supply line and pump does take up some space so coming off the back you need at least a few feet of clearance. I have never put it back in its bag so I can't comment there but it is heavy so not something you would want to pack and unpack on a daily basis but it would certainly be reasonable to drag it outside now and then without issues. It does come with stakes for tying it down outside.

In general, when compared to my friend's bouncers, this far exceeds them all. It handles the volume of children for a party, is a reasonable price for the amount of bouncer you get, is easy to inflate and deflate (if a 2 year old can do it on his own you know its easy), is durable, gets to the point by not wasting space on small useless ball pit attachments and for its size is actually pretty low profile making it reasonable for a basement (unlike some of the larger castle varieties).

Highly recommend!

We bought this for our son's 1st birthday party. We figured it was a good price for the size and we'd have it to use year after year (if it held up). The quality is very good. The floor was made of nice and thick material. The netting was sturdy and secure. I am 6'2 and 210 pounds, and while I couldn't get in it and go crazy, I was more than able to get in with my son and help him bounce around. It held up great with about 6 or 7 10 year old kids. It kept them busy all day so the adults could relax. Overall...this was a great investment and I am really looking forward to next summer so we can use it again.

This is the best bounce house I've seen on my search to buy one. It's SOOO worth the money!!! Used it for a kids party and they loved it... they didn't want to leave! I'm so glad I decided to buy one rather than rent one of those huge commercial moonwalks. We can use it over and over! Again, SOOO worth the money. Only problem, but not a biggie, is that is does not fit into the duffle bag that came with it. But still I'm a happy Mom. :) Love, love, LOVE IT!!!!

For such an expensive purchase for kids to have as a toy, I was skeptical, but thanks to all of the positive reviews this product received, we decided to make the plunge...we just got it yesterday, and set up was a breeze...a little on the heavy side, but that's becuase the materials used are very heavy duty for a "consumer" bounce house...as promised, it inflated within a minute or two, and the kids' eyes lit up...a 5 year old girl and an 18 month boy were thrilled...contrary to the picture, there are velcro sealers to keep the door flaps closed securely so that lil ones can't fall out...the unit is very sturdy for toddlers, although not for adults, as the package says...The kids loved playing in it, and it is about 6 feet tall total, so it will be nice to set up in the basement during the winter so the kids can burn off some energy...The design is kind of basic...nothing overly fancy...but I didn't pay for fancy, I paid for bouncy, and hoped for heavy duty...and that's exactly what I got for the money...Another reviewer stated that it was "too hard" when inflated...I looked for signs of this, and couldn't identify any discomfort or signs of too much air in the jumper amid the hundreds of pile drivers that my 5 year old did. The bouncer appeared big enough for 3 good sized toddlers or 5-6 smaller toddlers using at the same time...To test the strength of the bouncer, I had my daughter ram one of the corners to see if it would give out under a direct assault...she bounced off, and the bouncer passed another safety test. The side netting feels sturdy and strong, well knitted together in a pattern that is able to be seen through at a distance, though not very easy to see through when standing next to the bouncer. I can't really say that this bouncer is educational because...well...it's a bouncer...it might teach balancing or something...but can't we just buy stuff for our kids that we always wished we had while we were growing up? This is one of those things that we wished we had as a child...and this particular bouncer is going to be a hit for years to come...

It is actually very lightweight for it's size, and the people were very nice and honest with us. Thanks for getting it to us so fast. Scott knew the product very well, and was helpful in making our decision.

Excellent product and outstanding customer service. Thanks for your great service. I ordered the bouncer on Monday afternoon and it arrive on Friday, just in time for the party!
