The worst toy ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a kid and I thought this toy was HORRIBLE!!!!!! It doesn't stay up right, and the jumprope was impossible to jump in! The spinning rope spun WAY to fast, and it was really frustrating! My dad felt really bad. BEWARE! This toy is NOT fun and very dangorous!
Frustration My daughter had to have it. Watching the TV commercial sold her she loves to jump rope. After hours of frustration it seem no matter what we did, the rope would not hit the ground, it would not make a big enough arc big for her to jump into. It seemed to want spiral rather than make an arc. I say buyer beware. The commercial is well constructed not the product. I give this a ZERO rating for breaking a little girls heart and making a dad look in incompetent.
Sending Back My daughter is a jumprope fanatic and after reading the first 2 reveiws, I thought this would make a great gift.

We had the exact same problem and the rope doesn't seem heavy enough. We even tried to tie something to the rope to weigh it down. My daughter was very frustrated with the horizontal floor model as well. It spins extremely too fast and doesn't offer any... more info
This is a piece of JUNK I don't know if the other reviewer ever took the Jump Dancer out of the box, because when you do, you will find that it does not exactly work the way you see it on TV! No matter what we did, the rope would not hit the ground, it would not arc big enough for a small child to jump into it. Instead, it spiraled about 12-18 inches off the ground. I think the rope is too light weight to make the necessary arc. When set up to spin in a circle, the plastic arm that hold the rope would consistenly come flying out... more info
