We rent a moonbounce twice a year for each of our two boys birthdays at a cost of around $200 with tip. This year I suggested to my wife that we buy one as it will have paid for itself in two uses. That and we'll have it on hand anytime the boys have friends over, or we want to curtail their desire to jump on the furniture in the house. We looked at all of the options available on Amazon, but were attracted to the Blastzone Big Ole Jumper because of its size and features for the price. I like that the same company is making commercial bouncers too. To say that I'm happy with the purchase would be an understatement. Shipping was fast, with confirmation and shipping details communicated clearly. Our 2 year old's birthday party was yesterday and the kids loved it. The size was comparable enough with ones we have rented and everyone had, dare is say - a blast! The quality is great. The surfaces are very durable it feels like it will last a very long time - not cheap or plastics but more like a canvas material. The blower is also much more solid than its picture may suggest. We also purchased the optional sandbags and while we didn't have to use them for the bouncer this time around, they did come in hand for holding down Halloween decorations this weekend. Two weak points I noticed in other peoples reviews I'd like to comment on. I had read one reviewer mention that the straps on the sandbags were not that great and may come off over time. I can only imagine that Blastzone listened to this and changed the design because mine were very strong and well constructed. Similarly the grounding stakes on mine were very strong and I was able to push some into the ground with my feet and then finish them off with a rubber mallet. I saw another reviewer state that his broke, but perhaps the ground was excessively dry or had stones in. In which case I would suggest moving a few inches left or right to avoid the stones, or try wet tending the soil beforehand. Ours went in easily and came out just as easily. I would also note that the straps on the side of the bouncer that the grounding stakes go through were very durable and strong. I rarely take the time to post reviews, but always take the time to read them. In the case of the Big Old Bouncer though, it's just too good of a buy to not share the love.
