I think the Leap and Rebounds on Amazon or company website may be a good choice.
The 48 inch looks alot like the PROBounce I got and actually prefer to my JumpSport 550.
Beside preferring bungees to springs, size mattered to me. LOL

Amazon Leaps&Rebounds bungee link

Direct link
https://leapsandrebounds.com/product...nt=21179895617

It was highly recommended by ShirlinaFit

anyway if I wanted another round bungee, this is the brand I would try.

What about this brand?

David Hall's Cellerciser Rebounder WITH Balance BAR Trampoline Kit
https://www.amazon.com/David-Cellerc...lerciser&psc=1

There is one in my area for sale for much less. Looks like it's in excellent condition for well under $200.

Anyone using them with springs and don't mind? Speak up... Thanks.

It certainly has good reviews, but I'd go check it out to see how noisy it is.

Here's some clips I found about this brand and some solutions for those with springs. Also springs vs bungee from the founder of this brand

I have no I idea how accurate this is, as I don't own one:

So far here is what I've learned. 1. Size matters. 2. Bungees seems to have stood the test of time and use. 3. nothing is quality under $100.

The brands I've narrowed it down to:

Leaps & Bounds - here's my concern with this brand. At the site and at Amazon the color choices are out of stock with most. What does this mean? You would think they would have stock of all colors. This raises a red flag. (going out of business??).

Jumpsport - Even the price at Costco for the larger model is beyond me.(unless money falls out of the sky, of course).

I better start saving more pennies.

I can't say if what he says has merit as I've never used a Cellerciser. I do wonder if it supposedly is superior, why it isn't as popular as bungee models? But if there's one for sale for a good price it's maybe worth looking at and trying out. The deal breaker for me would be noise level. It's not particularly enjoyable to turn your tv to high volume so you can hear your workout over the springs.

If you aren't in a rush, keep your eyes open for a used bungee rebounder. I put an ISO ad on a local site and was contacted fairly quickly by someone wanting to sell theirs. It was in near new condition.

Thanks Pam for the thoughts. I'm not in a huge hurry, but would love to start using one soon. I am leaning toward the bungee over springs. It looks like the Leap & Bounce is having issues with the legs buckling. Reading reviews on Amazon, just in the past several weeks folks have posted about this issue.

So Jumpsport would be at the top of the list for now. I would like the bigger model which takes it up to roughly $500 new.

Speaking of Probounce, are they gone? I tried to go on their website and its not up anymore.

I was going to order one, but I can't get in to their website at all.

I tried to contact PROBounce a few weeks ago without success so I believe they are gone.
Also the AliExpress rebounders, both round and hexagon seem to be gone.
Closest round bungee I could find was Leaps and Rebounds which seemed to have responsive customer service on amazon and in emails. At least they replace the defective legs/frames under a *lifetime* guarantee but do not know how long their business will last. Hopefully, they will improve their product or weed out the defects and be around for many years.
Bernadette Giorgi's b Bounder had some lemons.
I was one of the first customers for the JumpSport petal mat which was very defective so new products do have a challenge.
Costco often puts the 550 Jumpsport on sale for $399 which is a great price considering it comes with the bar.

who has been very lucky not to receive a lemon in any of the cheaper bungees I have bought
