Hi Guys,

I'm suprised no-one posted this as yet… Aldi has a pretty decent looking 10ft (3m) Trampoline for $199 starting this Saturday November 2nd.

It looks similar to the very very very overpriced Springfree Trampolines. Product description says;
* Premium trampoline with unique design
* Features a fibreglass rod which stops the net from sagging
* 1 Year Warranty
* 50Kgs in weight ( so I guess that means its sturdy enough that it wont blow away in high wind)
* Suitable for 6+ year olds

Enjoy…

    "It looks similar to the very very very overpriced Springfree Trampolines"

    Except this actually HAS springs…only fibreglass poles hold the net.

      Actually, it looks nothing like the Springfree Trampolines.

      This one has springs that are covered. The Aldi one is no where near as safe as the Springfree ones.

        I wouldn't consider this one unsafe. In my day we didn't have nets or covers over the springs and we didn't think of it as dangerous.

          apparently- if you don't buy a apringfree trampoline then your children will die. or they will become drugs addicts selling themselves to the first weirdo so they can buy their next fix.

          isn't that all the justification that you need to spend around $1000 for one?

        • jv on 29/10/2013 - 12:00

          Maybe not, but it will reduce the chance of a spinal injury or fractured bone…

          Though I do know a Chiropractor and a Physio who are anti Spring Free Trampolines.
          Apparently they result in a "Twisting Motion and this Stresses Joints".

          I guess it is a trade off.

        If anyone is thinking of forking out the money for a Springfree trampoline, check out the Vuly THUNDER! http://www.vulytrampolines.com/thunder

        Looks seriously evil and has a huge weight limit of 160kg, so should be able to take most OzBargainers!

        FYI, Springfree weight limit is as low as 80kg.

      Is it as safe as the Springfield trampoline featured in this clip?

        No. It's a regular trampoline with poles that lean. It's a gimmick. Unless the spring-covering mats are thicker, you'd be better off with entry level kmart trampoline - as they are bigger and cheaper… But as Jv said, it's hard to tell with so little detail.

        And Jv, you are an awesome contributor … Just try to sound a little less grumpy in your posts :)

    I think thats 50kg maximum, not the weight of the trampoline.

      Doesn't the icon showing 2 people lifting 50kg mean anything to you?

      So it should be OK if I just use one leg whilst jumping ???

    • Pobman on 28/10/2013 - 23:04

      Pretty sure the 50kg is the mass of the trampoline in its box, the little symbol with 50kg on the sales page is about needing two people to lift it when picking it up.

  • Rocket on 28/10/2013 - 23:04

    This has springs, so nothing like the springfree version. Wonder what the weight limit is?

    We bought a Trampoline from Aldi a few years ago and whilst it was great value, the fact that it wasn't UV stabilised meant that the materials on all the rods fell apart, as did the cushioning material.

    Useless having a product that's meant to be permanently in the Australian Sun that is not fit for purpose.

    I see no mention of it in this ad so unless they state it is UV stabilised on the box or instructions then I would advise anyone not to buy it if it is to be left in the yard.

    • tomclancy on 29/10/2013 - 00:08

      I'm glad someone shared their poor experience. It feels like Aldi products have gone downhill recently. The quality was never great, but it was at least value for money. Anything I have bought in the past 6 months has been utter rubbish. I bought some "premium quality pegs" from Aldi and not one made it through it's first use without snapping in half.

      • [Deactivated] on 29/10/2013 - 06:58

        I've had the same experience with the pegs. Useless.

      we have a springfree trmpoline and it was bought about 5 years ago. all the sheathing on the fibreglass rods has cracked and shattered and it's a mess. so comments about lack of UV stabilisation don't appear to be solely the domain of ALDI equipment.

      • caleb2003 on 29/10/2013 - 00:41

        I saw one for sale in Target I think last year that stated it was UV resistant, quite similar to this one, can't remember the price though.

    • llama on 29/10/2013 - 00:45

      They ALL fall apart from the exposure to UV.

      A $200 trampoline is a throw away item anyway. Just replace it in 2 years time, ir required.

        a sad, but accurate reflection of consumerism and western society :(

        • sillyhead on 29/10/2013 - 07:23

          If you want to keep a trampoline you can always move it undercover when not in use. Pain in the a55 though.

      • altomic on 29/10/2013 - 08:37

        exactly.

      • Hoju on 29/10/2013 - 08:54

        Yeh I don't know what's happened these days. The trampoline we had lasted about 18 years and we eventually sold it on, never had to replace a thing.
        It was the old fashioned kind with exposed springs, gaps between them and the mat, the works. Used to put the hose on it and jump from 6 feet off a wood climbing frame, then slip, bounce and slide…
        Those were the days, god knows you'd never get that kind of fun inside a tiny round cage of a trampoline they sell these days.
        (ps. not one injury, 4 kids and all their friends, 18 years)

        • altomic on 29/10/2013 - 08:58

          the actual bouncy mat lasts. its the foam on the poles, the netting surrounding or the mat that covers the spring the disintergrates.

  • phunkyfeelone on 28/10/2013 - 23:48

    Would be a lot safer to simply jump up and down on the box…

    Trampolines with nets? Psh. I survived with a old rectangle ones with the springs exposed.

    • SBOB on 29/10/2013 - 06:54

      indeed…and these round ones.. how are you suppose to stand them on on their ends and run and jump at it and hope you dont break the trampoline (or yourself) as it comes crashing down on its legs..

      • arend on 29/10/2013 - 10:24

        Or put it on its end, draw cricket stumps on in chalk and use as an automatic wicky!

  • upsydaisy on 29/10/2013 - 07:16

    We got the action sports tramp from toys r us!
    Replacement mats and nets are easy to buy, although I am unsure of cost.

    As a general rule I am not against the quality at aldi, but it is important to remember that they ask major companies to make a similar product to theirs at a lesser cost. Aldi just charge a lesser mark up (normally. Unfortunately, this will also result in slightly inferior and a inconsistant level of quality among products due to a large number of suppliers.

    • Rocket on 29/10/2013 - 09:59

      A friend has an action sports and it is sturdy and good quality. It easily took my 90kg plus a couple of kids. Wouldn't do that on our sprinfree (that the wife said we had to have to save our kids….rolls eyes). Have also heard good things about the vuly range.

    Springs aren't safe?!?! Are youse Aussies or wot?

    In my day part of jumping on a trampoline was falling into the springs, catching your skin and ending up with a big blood blister. It happened to me and all kids I knew and none of us died from it.

    Why is it fine to buy cheap and potentially dangerous power tools but jump up and down (eh?) when a trampoline isn't wrapped in cotton wool.

    • miffy on 29/10/2013 - 16:57

      After landing on the springs or getting a finger caught when climbing up most kids learned to keep clear of them. It taught us a painful lesson about avoiding danger. Only to jump out of a tree onto the trampoline.

  • sparkles on 29/10/2013 - 10:07

    I sort of wish I had kids so I could justify a thousand bucks on a trampoline because I want one. I miss that bouncy high. Is there anywhere you can go and pay to jump on a sweet trampoline and then walk away happy for the next 15 years?

  • miffy on 29/10/2013 - 16:53

    I really want to get this, but i'm not sure that it would be as good as a rectangular old style one for bouncing off into the pool.

    • SBOB on 29/10/2013 - 17:13

      have to jump pretty high to clear the net ;)
