The inflation instructions are explicit about only using the pump included because it won’t allow you to over-inflate the ball. I didn’t do that. Instead I used a multi-purpose plunger-type pump with the tapered inflation nozzle from this MINTCRAFT FDQ910 1 1 1 Inflation Kit, 4-Piece to inflate the ball. As the ball got close to the correct size, I measured the circumference with a tape measure every few pumps, being very careful not to over-inflate it. The directions are also correct in saying that the ball will feel full before it actually reaches the correct/stated size. If you think your ball is mis-marked/smaller than stated, measure it to check, then keep pumping. Seriously. This ball seemed fully inflated at 48 cm tall (150 cm around), but I kept pumping and it eventually reached 55 cm tall (172 cm around). When I was done, the ball was very firm, with just a little give when I sat on it. That’s a *good* thing. Rubber stretches over time, and I don’t want my ball being super soft and squishy/not even ball shaped when inflated to 55 cm anytime soon!
Since I didn’t use the included plastic foot pump, I can’t be certain of it’s quality, but it seems pretty cheap/flimsy. Honestly, I find it weird that pumps are included with exercise balls in the first place. I’d rather my exercise ball be a dollar or two cheaper and buy a better, multi-purpose pump separately. One thing I do want to note about the pump, however, is that the hose can be attached to one of two valves on the side of it. The blue one is for inflating the ball, and the red is for deflating the ball, so if you do use the included pump, make sure you’ve put the hose on the right valve, or you could be wasting your time.
Because the ball is basically smooth on the outside, it might slip out of your hands if they get particularly sweaty. Since most exercise ball activities involve balancing on the ball, rather than holding it, however, I consider that a pretty minor negative. The smoothness also allows you to sort of see your reflection, which you may or may not find distracting.
The ball appears to have a slight seam/mold line in the rubber around the middle.
Because of the weight of the high-quality thick rubber, certain exercises that involve holding or lifting the ball may cause you to fatigue a little quicker. In the long run, this will also be a positive, as it will build a touch more strength, but if you’re incredibly weak, you may want to consider a different ball or a different form of exercise altogether.
It's worth noting that the ball is made in China, for anyone who is a stickler about avoiding Chinese-made products or strictly buying U.S.-made ones. I'll take my products from just about anywhere, as long as they're decent quality.
There were a couple of spots on the ball that seemed kind of dirty when I first opened it. While I suppose that it’s possible I could have received a used ball, I doubt it. I’m betting that it’s just a little bit of residue or something from the factory. Anyway, it pretty much came off when I went at it with a cheap melamine sponge. Beyond that, there are a few minor surface imperfections and the wrinkles/creases from its previous life folded up in a box are still smoothing out, but that’s to be expected.
Overall I’m pleased with the purchase and would highly recommend it. The ball itself seems to be much higher quality than any other exercise ball I have experience with. Since I don’t mind the minor negatives, I still consider this a 5-star product. If I ever have any problems with it, I will update my review and include info on interactions with BMP customer service and all that jazz.

I ordered them for use in offices at work at our desk in lieu of chairs. We purchased the 75cm size which seems about right for use at a desk. You would want to match the correct size for your body using the chart if you were using it for working out but for use as a chair you want to match it to your desk height needs. We may buy a couple of 85cm of the same brand as well to try.
The Black Mountain 2000lbs Anti Burst Exercise Stability Ball is WONDERFUL! I have a couple of very large guys I work with and they tested it. I thought for sure they would pop but – it did not pop. The pump that came with it is super easy to pump with and I like that it will not let me overfill it. The pump is not super high quality but I do not expect to deflate it and pump it back up often. My only mild complaint was that once plugged, it is hard to get the plug back out to add more air. I read in another review that it is helpful to add additional air for the first week as it stretches out and I was shocked at how much more air it took the second time I filled it. A solution for removing the plug from another reviewer was to use a spoon to help pry/pull it out - worked perfectly. Another suggestion was to tie twine or floss on it to be able to pull it out. I have not tried that as the spoon method work great.
As for the two bases I ordered:
Neither hold the ball completely still – nor should it as the point of a stability ball is for the person, not the base, to keep it stable. Both work great for holding a ball in place. Personally, I do not like either for use at a desk because you cannot get up and roll the ball back easily like you can without a base. However, I have a colleague that prefers the base so the ball does not try to get away from her. For use at a desk, the Cando was better because it is smaller and easier to push the ball out of the way. The Power Systems was a bit more bulky.
We have only had them for a week but when comparing the two bases; the Power Systems Base does seem a bit more durable than the Cando base for holding the ball. In contracts, the Condo base looks better for use with bands or tubing if you are working out.
For both, the design is simple and could be used with a number of different size balls. With the Cando, I would not recommend this for use on hardwoods as the edges look like they will dig into the floor. I have carpet in my office so I have not tested this but it is not round or smooth on the bottom – which makes since to keep it from sliding.
All in all, both are pretty good. If you are using them for a workout – buy the Power Systems. If you want it for the office – buy the Cando.
In Summary:
Best base for working at a desk (if you are up and down a bunch): Cando 30-1848 Gym Ball Bases (19-1/2" Diameter)
Best base for working at a desk (if you do not need to move or get up a lot): Power Systems Ball Bases
Best Ball for any base: 2000lbs Anti Burst Exercise Stability Ball (75cm) with Pump by Black Mountain.
I am ordering more of these balls for sure!
