Which brand? How much? Which model?
A guide to purchasing inversion equipment.
You've decided that you would
like to own an inversion table, but you don't know which one would work
best for you. There's a dozen or more brands, countless models, a vast selection
of stores and on-line retailers from which to buy, and not to mention…
a wide range of prices! Shopping for an inversion table can be an overwhelming
experience, so here's a guide that may be of help to you:
With the increasing
popularity of inversion equipment, the market has seen many companies
jump on the bandwagon…some more reputable than others. It's important
to consider the following when making a purchase:
Reputation for quality
Is the company known for producing good quality products? When hanging upside down, clamped only by your ankles, you want to be sure you are inverting on good quality equipment. Make sure you consider what goes into making the equipment, like worthy materials and craftsmanship.
Certifications and listings
One measure for quality is the product certifications and listings bestowed upon the equipment by third party compliance testers. Companies like UL and ETL test products for public safety and are reputed for their stringent standards.
Longevity
How many years has the company been in business? How long have they been manufacturing inversion equipment? The more experience a company has, the more you can be confident there are good quality controls in place and that they will be around in the future to support the products they produce.
Warranty
While inversion equipment should be built to withstand years of use, it is important to know that a company will stand behind the products it builds. Be sure to check out the type of warranty being offered.
Support Materials
Have you ever purchased a product that needed to be assembled, only to find that the instructions were impossible to follow? Make sure that your inversion equipment comes with quality support materials that show you how to assemble and use the equipment, including printed manuals and a video or DVD.
Service
Is the company known for good customer service? What happens if you have questions about the assembly or use of your inversion table? It would be nice to know that you have someplace to go for help when you need it.
Return policies
The
reality is, for one reason or another, sometimes products need to be exchanged
or returned. Be sure you are working with a company that will make this
process easy and painless.
HOW MUCH?
You may have noticed that Teeter Hang Ups inversion equipment is not the cheapest available, nor is it the most expensive. Because of our commitment to meeting high standards for quality and durability, we have made manufacturing choices that result in the best quality product at the most reasonable price.
For example, all of the roller hinges are made of high carbon steel which is heat-treated in key components, resulting in a higher strength product. Specialized pivot bearings ensure smooth rotation with no squeaks for the life of the table. The main shafts are triple-plated chrome with a steel wall thickness 20% greater than any on the market.
All of this technical jargon
represents a final product that far surpasses other brands (click
here to view some of our comparison testing). We hope that you'll
put your trust in the incredible amount of research, testing and experience
that has gone into making Teeter Hang Ups the best quality, most reliable
inversion equipment on the market today.

Hang Ups is your brand of choice, but now you’re faced with determining

DEX
II - decompression & extension system
Experience inversion in a completely new way with the DEX
II, a forward-rotating, user-controlled inversion machine. The body
is placed in a 90/90 position, which helps to focus on the decompression
of the lower back and target traction to the hip joints and spine
without loading the ankles and knees. An improvement on the traditional
roman chair, the DEX II comes with unique traction handles that
allow for additional decompression. Owner's manual included.

EZ-Up
Inversion System
For fit and flexible, the EZ-Up Inversion
System (complete with doorway Inversion Rack and Gravity Boots)
is a compact, affordable inversion solution. The double-bar system,
which does not interfere with the normal operation of the door,
places the user up and out from the doorframe to give adequate room
for stretching/exercise plus makes getting up and down a bit easier.
Instructional DVD and 90-page book included. (The Rack purchased
separately includes the DVD only).
|
|
Power
II
Inversion is taken to a whole new level with the Power
II! Unlike other inversion products that require individualized
adjustments, this motorized table is operated with the push of a
button. Slowly and easily inverting to any desired angle using a
patented rotational mechanism, the bed is sufficiently fixed at
that angle to allow stretching and light exercise without bed movement.
Owner's manual and 90-page book on inversion included. |

COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT
|
|
|
Power
VI
A commercial variation on the motorized inversion table,
the Power VI is built with square steel tubing and a motor to withstand
use in a public facility. With the patented rotational mechanism,
a user can smoothly and easily invert to any angle, the bed remaining
fixed at that angle to allow stretching and light exercise without
bed movement. Instruction plates to mount on the equipment and Instructional
Training Manual included; wall
poster available.
|
|
DEX
- decompression & extension system
A unique take on inversion equipment, the DEX
allows the user to rotate forward and hang with the hips parallel
to the floor, focusing traction on the lower back. This position
allows for back extensions without risking hyperextension. Patented
applied for traction handles allow users to increase decompression
of the lower back. Built to go alongside the Power
VI in a club environment, the DEX is
also a popular home-use inversion product because of its compact
size and unique benefits. Instructional Training Manual included;
wall
poster available.
