Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the one I bought after many many hours of research. The price was unbelievably low, and I would pay more knowing what I know now!!! The thing I didn't like about the Body Max IT6000 and similar models is the table isn't padded and there is no neck/head rest. Beware of models without padding and headrest. Very dangerous! I chose this specific model because: It is the 2014 model so they've worked out the issues that still exist with many in this price range. You don't need to wear a belt around your waist; there are no belts on it anywhere. Belts are not as safe. The degrees of inversion, height settings, etc. are set with very strong ball knobs and backed up with easy to insert/remove safety pins. Easily adjustable padded ankle slots. Can use with or without shoes/socks. Does not hurt my ankles (I have no pre-existing ankle problems or swelling. Inversion tables can be hard on people with bad ankles. Ask your Dr. first if this is a problem for you.) Easily adjustable height for perfect positioning of nearly any size person (see height specs for exact range) It moves slowly and easily both going back and coming up--you don't want to fly to the upside down position and you don't want to have to pull hard to get yourself back up. This is center of gravity oriented. I hold onto the handles, but it goes back slowly and smoothly. Getting back up takes very little effort. VERY IMPORTANT! It was rated very easy to put together, and it was!!!! That's a huge issue. Instructions were good, assembly was logical and not complicated. Husband did it in about an hour or less and didn't curse. ;) Holds up to 300 lbs (most are limited to 200 or 250) which just tells me it's very sturdy. I can stand it up behind a door to get it out of the way. Not a huge space hog. My brother has the one you see on TV for about $700 and he hates it. No padding, no control over tilt degrees/speed, hard to get back up. I LOVE THIS TABLE!!!!! This product has literally changed my life!! My neck and hips are in terrible shape from years of abusing my back at work, in sports, sleeping on bad mattresses/pillows, wearing bad shoes, you name it. For me, a few minutes of inversion once or twice a day is better than thousands of dollars worth of chiropractic care. I no longer use a chiropractor and I am no longer living in chronic pain! I also use it stretch before and after exercising, which I can now do again because I'm not terrified of injuring my back any more. I cannot overstate the value of the decision to buy this particular inversion table, or the importance of the specific features this one provides for your safety and comfort. Two of my friends bought one just because they could see how much better I was after I bought it, and I couldn't shut up about it. They are both as thrilled as I am. Pros: Cost; ease of assembly; ease and comfort of use; ease of storage considering size; not heavy--easy to push around; value to my entire body; no more chronic neck/back/hip pain (so I sleep much better!) Cons: None that I can find. [...]
