If you've rented a bounce house before and are considering purchasing one of your own, I would greatly recommend the Big Ol' Bouncer. It is just as large as a typical entry level commercial rental and the bouncing surface is of a higher grade material than typical residential bounce houses. We've had ours now for about a month and already used it 3 times with no issues. It is sturdy (not light to move), but still relatively easy to fold up and store. I expect years of use due to the quality workmanship.
