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:
WHICH BRAND?
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 their commitment to meeting high standards for quality and durability, they 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. 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.
WHICH MODEL?
You’ve decided that Teeter Hang Ups is your brand of choice, but now you’re faced with determining which inversion product best suits your needs. Below you’ll find a brief description of each model.
HOME-USE EQUIPMENT
F5000
Our base model inversion table, the F5000 is our most economic option (no bells and whistles) but nonetheless meets our strict quality standards for product quality and user friendliness. The earliest version of this model was made in 1983, and over the years has been upgraded over 78 times to improve durability, ease of use, and function. Owner’s manual and instructional DVD included.
F7000
A step up from our base model, the F7000 offers additional features like corner feet, an EZ-Angle tether strap and our newest development, EZ-Stretch Traction Handles. Providing added benefit to inverted stretching and decompression, the handles can also be used as a tool for intermittent traction and oscillation. Owner’s manual, instructional DVD and 90-page book on inversion included.
F9000
With its knee-high, easy-to-reach handle and ratcheting ankle clamps, the F9000 is ideal for those who have a difficult time bending down to secure their ankles. With corner feet and an EZ-Angle tether strap, the F9000 comes with many features to make the inversion process easy and comfortable. Owner’s manual, instructional DVD and 90-page book on inversion included.
DEX II - decompression & extension
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.
Why Buy Teeter Hang Ups?
UL Testing. There are no government regulations to control the structural integrity and product quality of inversion products. Make sure that your inversion option can quantify their claim of safe equipment by providing certificates or classifications to demonstrate successful voluntary testing to effective standards, like UL 20601-1.
Independent Engineering Tests. During an independent engineering study of the 7 most widely distributed inversion tables, the F5000 outperformed competitors in structural integrity and durability.
20+ Years Experience. Roger and Jennifer Teeter started this company in 1981 with a commitment to educating the world about the benefits of inversion therapy. They are still leading the way to this day.
30-day money back guarantee. We are so positive that it will change your life that if you are unsatisfied with the product we will give you a full product refund up to 30 days after your purchase.
Commitment to Safety. Continuous contact with a quality-assurance engineering firm that inspects Teeter Hang Ups products for top quality.
Continuous Improvement. They never stop trying to improve upon products' design and function. The F5000 Inversion Table, for example, has benefited from over 70 upgrades to increase quality, ease of assembly and user friendliness. They sell products for the lowest price possible without sacrificing material quality and workmanship.
5-Year Warranty. Commitment to product quality is unparalleled, that's why they offer a full 5-year product warranty on home-use inversion equipment*, covering all structural and soft parts.
Unique Features. Most products in Teeter's inversion line carry one or more U.S. or International patents. The products offer many features, unique only to Teeter Hang Ups, that ensure safety, comfort and ease of use. The F5000 Inversion Table, for example, comes equipped with patented cam locks, the ability to quickly fold down for storage, curved ankle rollers, a washable nylon mat, the option to upgrade for use with gravity boots, and the UL Classification.
Belief in what they do. And inversion is all they do. They believe in inversion and it shows! Nearly every Teeter Hang Ups employee inverts on a regular basis and their customer service staff is eager and willing to answer any questions you may have about inversion or their product line.
Wide Selection. From gravity boots to motorized inversion tables, Teeter Hang Ups offers a comfortable method of inverting to meet just about any need.
It's a Family Affair. Lead by Roger and Jennifer Teeter, the Teeter Hang Ups staff is truly dedicated to upholding the Teeter name with excellent service, top quality products and a sincere effort to educate about the benefits of inversion therapy.
