 Gives a Great Ab Exercise March 27, 2008
I didn't have any problems putting it together mainly because I read the reviews here at Amazon before purchasing one and saw a review where someone used a small amount of petroleum jelly to help the grip slide in.
The wheels may seem a bit shaky but, when its being used and your weight is on it, it'll do its job. And don't worry the wheels won't slide off the sides.
I didn't have any experiences using an ab wheel before so at first I was wondering why a lot of people would have difficulty with this device when it seemed like a simple enough exercise. I was completely wrong! At first, It was really hard to do those full extensions and I could feel my abs burning (which for me, is a good sign which means its getting worked out pretty good) and I felt my back being toned too.
Overall, it does its job well. And its an exercise piece that's small enough to store easily and its absolutely worth the money. Its a great buy!
Hard to put handle on February 13, 2008
In theory it is a great product and I am still able to use it. When you assemble it you have to slide the second handle on to metal bar to hold the wheels in place (it is similar to a rubber bike handle on an old school huffy). It is very hard to slide on all the way. My handle hangs off the bar by about an inch so this causes the wheels to shift position, not a huge deal, but would be better if it assembled properly.
This is a nice addition to a home gym. January 19, 2008
Inexpensive and challenging, but not the only thing one should do to improve abs. However, it is priced right and sturdy! Good buy!
Good Product January 8, 2008
This item does as advertised. Had absolutely no problem putting it together (just use a little liquid soap).
 Works well, but largely unnecessary October 7, 2007

This device certainly gives a good muscle burn, and actually works the lower back more than the abdominals. This is something to consider if you have back problems.
Now, while this device IS indeed effective at what it does, after having used it, (with other abdominal exercises,) for a number of months, I can say that a good number of bicycle crunches, reverse crunches, and plank exercises will just as effectively work your abdominal muscles, for free.
To get the flat tummy we all want, I am afraid no machine is going to be a magic bullet, (since you cannot spot-reduce,) and this is one more example of that.
