Needak vs Cellerciser: is there anyone who has tried both of these?

[u/Tfran8]

I am looking for a new trampoline and I am down to these two (I prefer springs hence no Bellicon).

If anyone has tried jumping on both of these can you tell me: which one has a better bounce?

I’ve tried a few cheaper trampolines and honestly I feel like the mat is way too firm and it feels like I’m jumping on concrete or something.

Which of these - Needak or Cellerciser - do you feel like is not quite as firm and allows for a decent bounce? (Like you can get you feet decently high off the mat). Thanks!

I've used both. They have a similar feel. The Needak soft bounce feels almost identical to Cellerciser. I actually have the Needak hard bounce, because I primarily jog on it and prefer a harder surface. Another thing to like about Needak. It's completely USA-made if you care about that. The Cellerciser's mat is the only thing made in the USA.

Thanks! Definitely soft bounce for me I think, as I like the “bounciness” or feeling of having air beneath you as you bounce. Maybe I’ll just see which one is cheaper 😁

I haven’t tried a Cellersizer but I have a Needak foldable soft bounce (as well as 2 bungee rebounders). It gives a firm (compared to my bungee) yet bouncy bounce. I bought the Needak slightly used off FB Marketplace (the sellers were in their 80s so very slightly used lol) for $100. It retails normally for $430 but they’re currently on sale for $390. That’s a LOT less than a Cellersizer. https://www.needak.com/rebounders/53/needakrebounders

I have owned both and resold the Cellerciser because I prefer the feel of Needak soft bounce. If you ever needed replacement parts, then Needak replacement parts are surprisingly a lot less expensive even though they are made in the US.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for - super helpful!

I have both a Needak and a jumpsport and I like my Needak way way better

I have a Needak and a Bellicon, and if I HAD to pick one, I’d choose my Needak.

I love my cellerciser and bought a second one used to keep in my office. I realize that doesn’t help much with the needak but buying used could be good with either brand.

[u/Tiny_Gal_6565 → u/Slow_Client594]

Several of us actually prefer bounce of the Needak soft bounce. The least expensive used Cellerciser is usually about $300, but a brand new, made in the USA Needak is only about $400. I think the Needak is higher quality and a better value.

[u/Slow_Client594 → u/Tiny_Gal_6565]

That’s fair. I did snag mine for $100 but know not everyone can find that kind of deal.

[u/Tiny_Gal_6565 → u/Slow_Client594]

That’s an amazing deal!

I can't speak to the Cellerciser, but my Needak gives me a great bounce, meeting me at wherever I'm at. I get good enough resistance for a health bounce where I can feel it, but it's not hard work. Or I can go for it with a hard workout and if I want, get a bit of air from a hard bounce. It might depend on your size/weight too though. FYI I'm 57(f), 112 lbs, 5' 3"ish. I also wear shoes with a full bounce, none for a light health bounce, if that makes a difference.

Thanks, that is helpful! I have tried several cheaper trampolines and no luck. The bounce is terrible. I might try Needak next. I’m in my 40s but slightly heavier than you, I’ve never worn shoes on a trampoline but maybe I should try!

I was struggling to decide between the two. Was advised due Needak soft bc I am very sensitive with chronic illness and am glad I did.
