I purchased the Bosu Balance Trainer Home Version from amazon.com on October 14, 2008.It arrived about a week later and I was eager to get started.I carefully followed the inflation instructions and used my owner's manual as a guide to determine the proper height of the dome.I read the entire manual, watched the DVD and then used the Bosu for 1 half hour workout.I stored it in a corner of my work out area (away from direct sunlight as instructed) in my air conditioned apartment.This morning, two days after my last workout (my first and only workout) I retrieved my Bosu only to find that it had come unstuck from the base.The bottom is no longer flat and there is no way I can get the edges back into the space along the rim of the base. It looks like the glue that was used very sparingly to adhere the dome to the base didn't hold for very long after I inflated it.As indicated by some other users the pump is very cheaply constructed and is less effective at deflating the Bosu than inflating it.
The idea behind Bosu is fantastic and I have used one repeatedly in the Gym so this problem makes me think that the manufacturers made an inferior product for home use because they believed it wouldn't be used as much.However, after paying almost $100 or a product I should be able to get more than ONE use out of it.
Like I said, "Buyer Beware".If I had read a review like this one I might have paid extra for the commercial version.I hope this review saves someone else from the needless expense and frustration that I have experienced with this product.
