DARCHENREB-N

I have a herniated disc and a bone spur on my knee and needed to find a low-impact cardio workout that would not hurt my joints, knees and back. After doing some research, the rebounder is the ultimate form of cardio. NASA has studied and touted the benefits of rebounding. It's effective yet gentle on the body!I started searching for a rebounder last November but the negative reviews discouraged me from purchasing one. I decided to search again during Amazon's Prime Day this year. I've looked at almost every rebounder and decided not to purchase one with metal springs because once they break, they're useless. However, the newer models are made with bungee cords, which can be easily replaced and purchased on Amazon. After reading reviews for several rebounders made with bungee cords, I finally decided on the Darchen Rebounder. Some brands can cost $200 - $400 and I did not want to make that investment. But Darchen's is fairly affordable and I knew that I could always return it if I was unhappy with it.It was time-consuming to assemble and you will need some strength to put it together. I'm a female and in my forties, but I was able to do it on my own. It is very important to watch the how-to video. I positioned the bungee cord and tool against the frame, while I watched the video and followed the instructions. Once you get the hang of using the tool, it's not that complicated to assemble. Please make sure to follow the assembly pattern exactly, alternating the bungee cords diagonally. Otherwise, the jumping mat will not be attached properly and can possibly break. Some of the metal legs were not easy to attach to the metal frame but I was patient and eventually was able to attach them properly. I recommend tightening them before and after each workout because they can become a little loose. It's also lightweight but sturdy. I can easily move it from one room to another.I've been using it now for 3 weeks and this rebounder is durable and fun to use! I use it almost everyday and don't wake up in pain in the morning. You can find many workouts on YouTube. I prefer the beginner rebounder workouts from "AngieFitness TV." The instructor breaks down beginner moves, so that you can feel safe and confident on it. I plan to do the rebounder workouts into my 90s. Happy Rebounding!

I was a bit taken aback that this thing came fully unassembled. It is one reason that I really like to purchase something like that in a store that puts them together for us. I pulled it all out and then had to figure out how to get the bungies on. Once you read the instructions and put the first ones on, it becomes easier and easier to do. Once it was assembled, I got on it and it is a really great way to get your body circulation going, and great exercise which is fun!

This rebounder mini trampoline is an absolute blast! As someone who’s no lightweight, I was thrilled to find it holds up to 350 lbs without any issues. Assembly is a bit like trying to wrestle an octopus if you're doing it alone, so definitely grab a friend to help. Once it’s set up, it's pure bouncy joy! Great workout and loads of fun! There weren't any missing parts, but the springs were extremely tight, so I thought they gave me the wrong parts. Gets more comfortable to use as time goes on.

Super sturdy, and at 59, I was able to assemble on my own. It’s not super easy, but I did it. I love using this while watching TV. It is not noisy like the metal spring versions. Highly recommend!

It took about an hour to put together but it was easy if you follow directions - and a tool is provided to assist. I like the item and enjoy using it while I watch tv...vs sitting on the sofa!

The 3 pieces that make the frame are loose where they are supposed to fit into one another and don't fit together securely. The bungees are incredibly tight (not a bad thing for jumping I'm sure) but nearly impossible to stretch by one's self. The tool is NO help. None.'Maybe a hook-like tool would help?The frame keeps coming apart which makes attaching the bungees to it impossible.I should have just spent the extra money or bought a spring trampoline. Now I either have to lug it out to return it or eat the cost.Not happy.

Very well made. Quiet. Nice bounce. Not super high bounce, but soft bounce bc of bungee cords. Not too hard to assemble. Helped to view video first to see how it was done. Thought I would need help assembling, but easily did it myself (59 yo female).

...be careful with your jumping enthusiasm when starting out. I wondered why most rebounder workouts are about 15 min long since it was so fun to just bounce for an hour watching TV. Now I know. If you're not in great shape, overdoing will leave you with sore knees and ankles. Now that I've recovered, I'm using it sensibly and with lower impact...it's still a great workout.Assembly was tedious but not difficult. The first few bungees are a little harder to wrestle on but it gets easier and the tool helps. The most trouble I had was with the legs. The threads had paint or something in them that often stopped progress. If you reach resistance just unscrew it, use your finger to clean bits of paint or metal from the threads inside and out. Then try again. Repeat until the leg is fully seated.Getting the safety bar on was easy, but a bit clumsy. I've since taken it off to discourage myself from getting to too "exuberant" in my jumping.Overall, I recommend this rebounder. It supports heavier people, is quiet, has a large jumping area, and gets your heart going even with smaller controlled movements. Make the jump!

Excellent quality! Sturdy. My sister helped me set it up. You do need some arm strength to get those bands over. I use it daily! It's super quiet too! Very pleased with my purchase. Happy customer! Thank you!

After many many hours of research I finally decided to buy Darchen. Assembly is straight forward with the help of the instruction and YouTube video. But like someone wrote on Amazon US, 2 persons may be better to pull the elastic band. It performs so far so good.

Easy to put together ni e trampoline

It’s great quality, but I’m thankful that my boyfriend was there to help me put it together because it took some strength. I love it a lot.

Jai suivi pes instructions et regardé un tutoriel YouTube avant de commencer le montage de la trampoline et ça très bien été !Je suis tres contente
