Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Is this product really 5 star worthy? No not really but it is easily a 9.45 out of a possible 10 and here's why. Price and free on time shipping from Amazon : An easy 10!!! Performance: 9.75 Quality of frame: 9.5 Quality of safety net: 9 Quality of spring pad materials: 8 Quality of springs: 9.5 Quality of mat: 9.5 Accessories included: 10 (spring tool, ladder, mat cover) Directions: 9 Assembly: 10 (Amazon offers assembly for $160 (which is very reasonable imo) and all you have to do is point and say, "Set it up here." Either way very easy. We were looking to purchase a rectangle type, olymic style trampoline. Our oldest has a friend who has the Alleyoop (AO) power bounce, which is easily the best trampoline available imo. So that's what we went shopping for. Now if your familiar with the alleyoop brand, then you know they have a steep price tag. ($2600). AO has the most springs per size comparison. Unfortunately the Alleyoop was out of stock. Searching for an acceptable alternative, we found the Acon Olympic style trampoline which looked comparible to the AO. The Acon had great reviews. Minor difference, the Acon had a few less springs and a much lower price tag, about a grand less ($1600). Tried to purchase the Acon direct from their site but lightning struck twice. They were also out of stock. With a restock date a month away we were shopping once more. I remembered being impressed with the reviews and ratings on the Zupapa trampoline while searching for the others so I showed it to our 2 jumpers. To say the least they were less then impressed. Despite some frowns and a little hesitation on our part we bought the Zupapa15' round model. We figured we always had Amazon in our corner if the trampoline was less then acceptable. Price tag on the 15' round Zupapa, $479.99 shipped. I know right! If your doing the math that's $2100 less then the AO. Amazon had it to our door on the morning of the first delivery day window. Product was received in great condition with no parts missing. Unboxing was simple and packed for ease of installation. Quality: The quality of the product is very good. The only material which raises concern is the blue tarp material (not going to beat a dead horse). We were fully aware of this before we made the purchase so no surprise there. If it fails prematurely we will reach out to Zupapa thru Amazon. Base set up: I believe anyone can set up this trampoline. The directions are not that bad. My tip for you, go step by step. Assemble the frame loosely then take a rubber malet (or a small block of wood and hammer) and tap above each support to set the structure securely together. When attaching the mat, start by quartering it with 4 springs as shown in the directions then repeat by adding one spring between each of the four quarters and keep repeating until all 108 springs. are installed. Safety Net assembly. I put a small piece of duct tape around the 2 piece net pole junction as I found I had to work the pole and insulation back and fourth a bit during insertion. Assembly Time: It took myself and two young helpers (11 and 13) about an hour for the base including unboxing and about 45 min for the net. Total assembly time 1:45. Size: My son, (who hates round trampolines), was pleasantly surprised when he discovered how large a 15' round trampoline is. The Zupapa easily accommodates 3 jumpers with no noticable bounce lost. My son invited his friend over, the same one that set the bar with his olympic style AO, and the jumping began. After a few bounce checks, the tricks began. Flipping. (fronts, backs), single ball out, double ball out, splashes, consecutive back layouts, and combinations (flip twists). DAMN!!! My son's friend was able to complete every aerial acrobatic trick he could complete on his AO at home. I'm sure by now you know why this trampoline received the 5 star rating from us. 2 thumbs up from the pro, 2 large smiles from the round tramp critics, and $2120 left in our bank account, we're happy to give it the 5 star rating. I will follow up this review as needed in the future, as the trampoline breaks in or should issues arise as it receives daily jumping, till old man winter sets upon us again. Buy this product with confidence you won't be disappointed.
