Can someone recommend a bounce house?
I'm looking for a high quality bounce house to use in our yard. Just from reading reviews it looks like Blast Zone bounce houses are good quality. Are they better than Little Tikes?
Is a bounce house something you would disassemble and put away after each use or do you leave it out if you are going to use it the next day?
ETA: do you recommend one with a shade canopy or would the canopy actually trap the heat? I figure if it's open the heat will rise.

I love our little tykes. It does not have a shade and where we set ours up is rather shady. Also we put ours away after the day is doen so it doesn't kill the lawn or get too moist with the dew at night.

We keep our bouncy house in the basement.
Others who keep theirs outside always put it away after use.

Re: Can someone recommend a bounce house?
We've had our Blast Zone for over 3 years now. I didn't even consider the Little Tykes because of the maximum weight it can hold (which isn't very much), plus I believe the actual jumping floor is smaller.
We'll keep it out for the weekend or a couple of days if the weather is supposed to be nice.
That would be my oldest...I mean my husband  , in there wrestling with my 3 kids. 
This was by far one of our better purchases.

What is the weight limit on this? I can't believe your DH is in there with them. Does the blower hold up with him in there? Is this a 12x12?

Also, is a standard outlet enough to run the blower? We have a GFI outlet by the shed. I was thinking of putting it by the shed and storing it there. I looked on Blast Zone's website and there was no information on the electrical draw of the blower.

Thank you but we have a lot of TRU gift cards so we're going to order through their website even though they're over priced.

I believe the max weight is 500. My husband doesn't jump/bounce in it, but there's no issue holding his weight. The blower can handle the weight with no problem.
The bounce floor is 12x12.

We keep ours in the shed as well and plug it into a GFI outlet with no problem.

Thank you. The 12x12 bounce area is huge but more money than what I want to spend. I'm going for a smaller one. Hopefully I won't regret it.
