5 out of 5 stars Great!   June 15, 2008
I had purchased a smaller one, thinking it would be a pretty large size, but compared to that one, this one is HUGE. The sizing strap was very handy, and the pump worked a lot better than that hand pump I had used for a similar product. So far, it's retaining air really well, has little to no odor, and works well!

I use this ball as a chair for my computer. The 75cm ball is just about the right height. You can add or remove air as needed to adjust the height. It is of a reasonalbly thick material, seemingly well made and I don't expect it will burst if I keep it away from sharp objects. It holds air well which was a prime consideration for me as I didn't want to pump it up every three days or so. So far, so good.

The Valeo 75 cm burst resistent ball was not as advertised on the box. When I first received it, the ball material appeared sturdy, though it was kind of thin. The 75 cm size is appropriate for someone over 6 feet. After about two months of use, the ball exploded. As the package suggested, a small hole would occur allowing for the decompression to occur over a period of seconds or minutes. Instead, a tear covered about 70% of the circumference of the ball (perpendicular to the small ridges in the ball) causing the ball to deflate suddenly. The material is just not strong enough to contain a tear to a small portion. Luckily I was only a little bit scraped as I was only sitting on the ball, but if someone had been doing crunches, they would have gotten hurt as the fall occurred at freefall speed. Try to get a ball with stronger/thicker material that lasts longer, and resists bursting. Also, I noticed that the burst remnants of the ball were somewhat lumpy inside, which suggests that the manufacture of the material was poorly carried out.


3 out of 5 stars So Big!   March 12, 2008
I got this ball because I wanted one a little larger than 65cm, and because of the neat pink color. Turns out it's not pink... It's a really ugly orange color! And it looks horrible in my house! Also, it is SO BIG that I only filled it up to about 3/4 its maximum size, and it's STILL too big... Woops! I guess I should have gotten the 65cm?

(If you're a woman, you might want to follow my advice - get the 65cm ball.)



1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy this Ball unless you are seven feet tall   February 28, 2008

Don't Buy this Ball unless you are seven feet tall. The ball is of a very high quality. The problem is, it's huge. I'm 6'2" tall and I cannot get on this ball. It's wall to tall, it's twice the size of a normal exercise ball. Try a smaller one.

Good exercising.

Mike
