Trampoline is fine, but doesn't last – Kids loved the trampoline, however after about 3.5 years the following issues have happened, would not recommend purchase of this type of trampoline: * Jump Matt failed within 12 months and needed a replacement (addressed under warranty) * Spring's started breaking in half after 2 years (not addressed under warranty, purchase 7 springs for $80… Read more

including shipping) * We are now replacing a spring a day, just not good enough

Worse still, the replacement springs we paid for have started to fail within 3-4 days of installation.

(only one person on the trampoline at a time, maximum weight on trampoline is 40kgs at a time)

Final and third review after 5 years. Saga of a Trampoline! – Our large Vuly Thunder was bought for Christmas 2014 but only erected in April 2015 due to new pool and landscaping tasks to complete. My initial review told how much we loved the design and what a fantastic bounce the kids had with it. The original mat failed just out of warranty and was replaced by Vuly at no cost. My second review talked about… Read more

the problem mat and commended Vuly's response of giving a replacement. Well, the new mat lasted no better than the first. The way it ripped was VERY dangerous to the child who was jumping. I was SO concerned that I took photos and cut certain parts of the mat and posted them to Vuly for consideration and comment. This has never been done despite follow-up emails and a phone call. Then I bought a third mat. As we were attaching it, we broke several leaf springs and noticed that there were some that were severely bent. Again I contacted Vuly and while the springs were out of warranty, they sent 2 packs free of charge. That was a godsend as the price of springs is VERY high. But, over the next 10 months we used up all of the springs as one by one they broke. In the end we could see the need to replace all the original springs. This would be a massive cost so we have retired the Vuly to the recyclers and got a small remuneration. The mat is for sale on Gumtree. We now have a secondhand Springfree tramp (recommended by Choice) for less than the price of new leaf springs for the Vuly

A wonderful product – I generally spend some time researching before buying things like this and decided this is a good product. We already have a Vuly 360 Pro and girls love it. Started putting together Thunder Large today and finished the job in 2.5 hrs by myself. I’m not a tradie or a handyman but love putting these kind of stuff together, I must say I loved the… Read more ·  1

job. My tip would be watching the how-to video on YouTube as well as reading the instruction paper it comes with. The trampoline looks quite solid, feels strong and very stable. I have seen mixed comments about the entry gate on the net, however I must say that is a simple but very clever and safe gate for a trampoline. My main safety concern before I bought it was the proximity of the net to the net pole at the level of the mat (the narrowest gap), however now I see that chances of body contacting a pole or a leaf spring is almost impossible. I have seen many injuries around trampolines as a health care worker and heard stories about how they happened, but thunder seems to have been designed with safety as the top priority in their mind. A definite 5/5 product from Vuly.

Made a world of difference – We bought a vuly thunder after ALOT of research as most trampolines look hideous after 12 months with faded and ripped nets and the squeaky noise of traditional spring systems. The leaf spring system is beyond amazing, absolutely no hard areas in the bouncing zone for them to fall on to hurt themselves they are absolutely protected while they… Read more

play!

My kids are 10 and 8 my eldest has ADHD and this trampoline has be a godsend, it helps him burn off excess energy and frustration in a very safe space . And with the roof option he can spend hours in there.

Its perfectly safe when both of them are playing together aswell making up games with the printed pattern on the mat or with the sprinkler on for hot days! .

We have had ours for 2 years now and it hasnt faded, ripped or been damaged in any way even with as much use as it gets it's very heavy so it makes it incredibly stable no risk of movement when they are bouncing away .

I recommend Vuly Trampolines to anyone looking for a trampoline,

Vuly Thunder - Amazing but redesign required for Entry / Exit – The only thing that's super annoying about the Vuly Thunder is the weird slit that was designed to get in and out as well as the "ladder replacement" . Practically it's a real feat for an adult to easily get in. The slit doesn't even open that wide and this is after you hauled yourself up the frame to get in. And for kids they're smaller and they… Read more ·  1

don't care as much but to slide out and then to manage to get a footing on the frame to get down.. hazard really.

Falling apart and have already replaced parts once now need to again – We have had this trampoline for around 3 years and have replaced parts once and now need to again after them only being used for a year bought less than 2yrs ago and the net mat and shade cover all need replacing not to mention every leaf spring and pole having rust. So disappointing as I have bout two vuly trampolines and replaced parts without… Read more

complaint but I have had enough. I'm going to lodge a complaint with the ACCC. I called and gave the staff a chance to talk to me about it and told them I wasn't happy. It's the equivalent of buying two cheaper trampolines a year just to replace the failing parts. This trampoline has always had shade covers one and looks like this.

Dangerous to install, misleading advertising – I injured myself quite badly installing this trampoline, but Vuly don't care about that. This is very dangerous and difficult to install, instructions re terrible, don't do it without at least 2 men helping you. Also you can't use the shade cloth and the basketball ring at the same time, but they don't tell you this when buying it. Ladder is not compatible and small kids can't get in without help from you.

Kids are in heaven – Great size for both my 4 and 10 year old. 10year old can do flips but it doesn’t take up all of our yard. I even enjoy bouncing on it. Had it installed in under an hour. Great for keeping kids off the tv/iPad. Show details ·  1

Vuly Flare – I have bought 2 Vuly Flare trampolines for each grandson. Wind damage twice for one despite using anchor kits and weights, bought in September 2021. Vuly recommends taking down shade sail when impending winds, which was done the second time. Vuly sent an invoice for replacement parts. not happy that I purchased 2 of these, other trampoline not assembled yet. I am regretting my purchase big time. Show details

Getting the bounce on customer service – Trampoline is ok, customer service is terrible. The kids still can’t use the basketball hoop purchased at Christmas due to faulty plugs, A customer service representative suggested filing the plugs down while we wait on the correct one.

Absolutely the best present for our 3 year old! Easily put together by 2 people in approx 2hrs – 2 adults and our 3 year old all at the same time. Such a stable design with the individual legs. Love the walls and the net around the base for safety, would only change the entrance to something a little easier for little kids.  Show details ·  1

Worst trampoline and service – Bought the large thunder, my kids used it once. It then started to come apart. Each day something was wrong with it.

the promises to me after they themselves admitted that there were problems with the trampoline.

Now they say they are too busy after a numerous amount of calls with one guy saying all good sorted and it’ll be done before xmas last year. Nothing happened. This ruined my family’s Xmas. I’m still under warranty as well: looks like they don’t honour that either. I have literally waited so long for Vuly to do anything that the trampoline now is beginning to rust: as I said terrible service ever

This company Vuly has shown that and admitted they sold me a bad product, won’t refund me for it and has constantly lied to me about repairing it. Saying all costs for repairs are free.

I’m now going to the ACCC and Vuly I want my money back. To others don’t waste your time with this company go elsewhere, don’t go through what I’ve been through with Vuly. Vuly obviously cares about just taking your money but does not pride itself on quality customer service: they have no integrity.

Worst construction process ever, do not buy – The Vuly Thunder L manuals says that it takes 1 hour for 2 people to complete. This is just a lie. My dad and I (we are both carpenters) took over 4 hours to complete this trampoline. We would have paid for installation if we were told it would take 4 hours. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

fell apart after 2 years of use – I was disappointed when the springs started snapping and other parts of the trampoline started falling apart after only 2 years of use. I contacted support and found the springs only have a 12 month warranty and are of course expensive to replace. The whole thing started feeling unsafe like the rest of the springs were going to start randomly snapping. I just would have expected longer out of a trampoline of this value.  Show details

Best money we’ve spent on the kids! – Our 7 and 8 year old daughters are obsessed with the Vuly Thunder and are on it from the minute they wake up! We even play on it as a family and the basketball ring and tent add-ons add so much extra fun! It’s such great quality, the company were great to deal with and the installation service was excellent too. Have been recommending Vuly to everyone we know.

The basketball hoop that came with it does not have caps on the end of the tubing and fills with water when it rains causeing the metal to rust. Would… Read more

not recommend this trampoline if you are putting it on your grass in your back yard, suitable for hard surface only, the poor design of the feet allow the trampoline to sink into the lawn, unless you invite one or two of your mates around, and offer them the standard payment of a beer or two to assist in moving your trampoline around everytime you want to mow your lawn, the feet dig into your lawn, drag and rip up your lawn, Vuly need to design better end caps for the feet to stop them sinking and make it easier to move the trampoline, as well as the issue with the fading pictures and caps missing from the basketball setup. To be honest, I'm disappointed in the quality of the product for what we paid for it.

Vuly trumps Springfree – We had a springfree trampoline and it lasted less than 18 months for about the same price of the Vuly. We purchased the Vuly and its been amazing.

Great trampoline! – We have 3 kids aged 1-8years and they all love the trampoline. Having the mat reach the net with no gaps is great with a baby and the door being always closed is also a positive. The Shade roof add on has been a winner- it also stops leaves falling into the trampoline which is great where we live. We used to have a Vuly Thunder pro in XL which was… Read more ·  1

better for adults to use and definitely had more bounce but we prefer that you can get under this tramp and it can be moved as much lighter. The kids play underneath it as well. I’d recommend this trampoline. Free shipping to Cairns was a winner and only took 4 days.

Very good trampoline – Finally caved in and got the Thunder Large for my kids since they asked for one for months. The box was partly crushed on the side, but the parts themselves weren't damaged at all (for what I've seen). Assembly was a bit of a pain (length wise), but luckily got it put together in a couple of hours. The trampoline itself is very sturdy and of good… Read more

quality. The nets are strong and don't appear to be of cheap material which is the most important part to me. Don't want to have my boys fly away on the grass. Bottom line is that they love it and they're safe when they jump around, despite some of the problems I've had to go through.

unbeatable, and the shade cover means they are out there all hours of the day bouncing, doing ‘cool tricks’ and wearing themselves out. Our kids are still young but the quality is fantastic and I already know they will get years and year of fun out of it. So happy with our Vuly!
