Product Description
Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 Sport Inversion Table rotates on a pivot system. With simple arm movements (rotation is accomplished by shifting the weight of the arms), the table easily rotates to any comfortable angle. The smooth rotation allows for oscillation and intermittent traction. Adjustable roller hinges allow you to pre-select three levels to control the aggressiveness of rotation, and the tether strap allows you to pre-select the maximum angle of inversion. Comfortable ankle clamps hold you securely while inverting. And you don't need to fully invert to feel the benefits! With the advanced bed design featuring Flex Technology (see image right) you can mobilize and stretch while partially inverted for a more effective decompression experience. Of course, if you decide you'd like to go to full inversion (half of all users do), Teeter Hang Ups offers the most reliable and responsive inversion tables on the market. While at 90, you can continue to mobilize, stretch, and even perform inverted exercises like sit-ups and squats! The EP-550 Sport securely and easily "locks" in this position and can be released with simple arm movements. The EP-550 Inversion Table folds compactly for storage in a closet, corner or under a bed. Every table comes with an instructional DVD and laminated owner's manual. Comes 85% pre-assembled, with the tools needed to complete assembly.

 Good and Solid November 16, 2008
I'm impressed by the quality of this table. It's very well designed and well made. My only complaint is that inversion causes pain on the top side of my feet, so I had to learn to put the foot pain out of my mind in order to focus on relaxing my back. I bought the sport version, which includes a pair of gravity boots, but I found them more painful and less convenient than the standard set up.

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.

I couldn't have asked for a better buy. I highly recommend this inversion table to any one in the market to buy one.
