Inversion Table Buyers Guide

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 our commitment to meeting high standards for quality and durability, we 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.

Teeter Hang Ups® Outperforms Competition in Product Quality Tests

There are no government regulations to effectively control the structural integrity or reliable function of inversion tables. The market is therefore subject to inconsistent or inferior product quality. With no way to quantify claims of safety, this term is commonly used without support; so the question remains, what is safe? In an effort to answer this dilemma, STL International, Inc., manufacturer of the Teeter Hang Ups® brand, hired an independent and non-biased engineering firm to compare and test the seven most widely distributed inversion tables.

Two pertinent evaluations were the Static Load Test and the Cycle Test, which examined overall durability and function of the units, the main factors pertaining to safety. While the tables are built to appear aesthetically similar, the Static Test (Chart A) revealed weaknesses in key structural components. The standard for medical equipment is four-times the manufacturer’s maximum rated user weight. Teeter Hang Ups surpassed this requirement by 20%.

The Cycle Test (Chart B), which simulated actual use, revealed deficiencies on the part of many inversion manufactures, one table having catastrophic structural failure after only 288 cycles (approximately 5-months of use)*. The Teeter Hang Ups brand was the only table that continued to cycle without failure, outperforming the next best table by 38,851 cycles, the equivalent of over 50 years of use.

Across all levels of evaluation, Teeter Hang Ups met or exceeded the competitors in durability, quality, and function. Plus, with a five-year warranty and ¼ the parts required for assembly, Teeter Hang Ups leads the market in providing product excellence and customer support.

*Tables were cycled using the manufactures maximum user-weight limit, which ranged from 250 lbs to 350 lbs. Considering that most people use their table twice or more a day, and the table is commonly used by multiple family members, the longevity of each table may be significantly reduced.
