My wife and I searched around town to find a bounce house to rent for my daughter's 6th birthday party. When we looked at what it would cost to rent one for a few hours plus delivery and setup fees, we decided to see about purchasing one. My wife found this Magic Castle Bounce House and I'm really glad she did. It held up to all of the kids at the party just as well as any commercial unit I've seen. Plus, it doubled as a present since we didn't rent it. The blower fan uses exactly 200 watts-- that costs me about 3 cents a day to run if I didn't turn it off. Setup is a breeze, finding an extension cord was the hardest part. It deflates and rolls up for storage easily. If you're in the market for a bounce house for a small party or for your kids, I really can't recommend this item enough. This is The One You Want.
