When planning my son's birthday party, I looked into renting a bounce house. I discovered that for less than twice cost of renting, I could own the Big Ol' Bouncer. I read the reviews and noticed most were extremely positive. Finally, I decided to take the leap and make the purchase. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the material and solid craftsmanship of the stitching. The blower was also extremely powerful, which provides a supportive and resilient bounce surface for the kids. The blower was also much quieter than I expected, allowing nearby conversations to be drowned out by the jovial screams of the kids rather than drone of the blower. While the kids love the large play surface, I am most happy with the ease of putting it up and taking it down. It literally takes just a few minutes to set up. Likewise, after it deflates, you can take it down, fold it up and put it back in the bag (with plenty of room to spare) in less than 5 minutes. I can put it up in the morning and take it down in the after with almost no effort. It has been two weeks and I wish we had bought it years ago. Everyone in the neighborhood wants to stop by and play. It looks like it is going to be a great summer. Thanks Blast Zone!
