(More customer reviews)Why I chose EP-550 Sport:
Purchased this item on Oct.6,08.Chose this model, because of a positive reputation and the easy storage function, though it was a bit more expensive than other brands.In addition, this model is supposed to have a very comfortable ankle clasp.Sport version even includes the gravity boots.So, I decided to purchase EP-550 Sport instead of regular EP-550.
The First Day:
The assembly is not hard, but the whole package is quite ponderous.Once assembled, the inversion table needs some practice, adjusting the height and weight distribution, when one first uses it.This will take a while to get used to it.Unlike some other models, this table uses a seesaw mechanism, which means there is no locking into 30, 60 or 90 degree angle.The whole movement depends on balancing weight between one's head vs. his feet by swaying his arm either toward his head or toward his knee, once the balance has been established.Make sure to view the DVD that comes with the kit.
Pros:
Gravity boots are quite helpful, and I love how I can oscillate.
Cons:
Cam Locks arrived completely broken on both sides.When I called the customer service, they knew exactly what was broken, even before I mention the specific location.Obviously, there is a proven packaging problem.
If you are less than 100 lb, you might have a difficult time going into full inversion, since there is a lot of weight at the bottom.Using the gravity boots helps a bit.
Because the table is bottom heavy, it does not fold like a video.I find that, even when I shorten the table to the maximum storage mode, the table still sways into the horizontal angle, which makes it difficult to store without scratching the wall.
Traction handle is a rip off.Personally, I do not find them useful at all.Besides, they are supposed to be worth $30?!
Conclusion:
I recommend buying the regular EP-550 and the gravity boots kit separately and save money for Traction handle.If you really want to try the traction handle, just buy them separately.Buying EP-550 Sport model does not give you any discount for buying the whole package.EP-550 Sport should be around $350, when EP-550 is $299.
