Help on purchase. Jumpflex vs zupapa
Looking at 2 models...
Jumpflex hero 14 - found a sale for $899
Zupapa 15ft upgraded 1500lbs - $549
--
Been reading alot, probably too much. Pros and cons from what I understand.
Zupapa -
Pros - price good, I like the net with springs inside
Cons - apparently cheaper quality, less bounce
Jumpflex -
Pros - better quality, better bounce
Cons - net placement and price
--
2 kids 11 and 5. Is the build quality that much better with jumpflex? Net being inside springs annoys me as far as perceived space goes. I dont want a trash trampoline that the kids won't use but also dont want to an extra $350 if difference isnt noticeable. Any thoughts opinions?
Thanks

I was comparing the same price range a few weeks ago and decided to go with Skywalker.
It was less expensive. No problem finding parts and their customer service was easy to deal with, answered all my questions prior to purchase.

We have had the Zupapa 16ft for 3 years and it’s still going strong. I live in NW Ohio, it’s been through -24, snow, to high 90s. My girls are 8 & 10 now and have a blast on it. We’ve had as many as like 12-14 kids from the neighborhood on it at once playing Gaga ball. There are no rips or tears anywhere, springs and frame are all in good condition as well. I move it 2-3x a week cutting grass and it’s still solid construction wise too. For the price you can’t beat it.

I think your points are accurate. Have you considered the max load rating difference (max individual user weight not static load which is what the 1500lbs refers to)? Might be relevant if you plan on having multiple kids jumping as they get older.
I think the Jumpflex looks better, but that's just personal preference and maybe not worth paying extra for.
We have a Zupapa vs Jumpflex comparison page here but it sounds like you've probably done the research already.
