Jump Star vs Kahuna

Jump Star and Kahuna both compete at the budget end, and neither has a model listed as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015.

Jump Star publishes 3 years on the frame and 1 year each on the mat and net. Kahuna lists a general one-year Australian warranty but does not break out separate frame, mat and net terms.

Kahuna is cheaper at the small end and has the wider range, including a 4.5 ft model for toddlers, oval and rectangular models, and a springless round line. Jump Star is round only, from 8 ft to 16 ft. Both rate their largest models to 150 kg per jumper, and their coil-spring models use similar spring counts at matching sizes.

Quick verdict

Jump Star suits anyone who wants clearly published longer frame coverage on a round trampoline. Kahuna is the better fit for an oval, rectangle, springless round model, very small toddler model, or the lowest entry price. Neither brand suits a household that needs a model listed as meeting the Australian standard. The current Oz Trampolines range is listed as meeting it and starts at a similar price.
