Dex II - Versatile Combo Machine Jan 12, 2008
By Scott G. Boeke
I had actually intended on getting a Roman chair to do back extensions, but Amazon's great price ($175) on this dual capability machine convinced me to give it a shot and also add the capability of inversion. As for the machine itself, it's quite heavy-duty, but very easy to assemble. Make sure you have the floor space available as it does not collapse after assembly. As for user weight limitations, in my judgment it will easily support even the extremely large individual.
The unique design for inversion takes all the stress off the knees and ankles as the weight is supported primarily on the upper thighs, anchored by pads behind the calves. These pads are adjustable vertically, but not horizontally. So, if you have short legs, you will not be able to hold the legs in a 90 degrees angle as you hang upside down ( the lower legs will be somewhat extended behind the pads.) This may be an issue if you intend to invert for extended periods. I have not found it a problem for my ~ 10-min inversions.
Individual machines typically costing $200 or more apiece would obviously do a better job at both back extensions and inversion; however, at $175, this versatile machine is well worth the money. Also, highly recommended for larger users who want the benefits of inversion but cannot take stress on the knees and ankles.

 Teeter Hang ups Dex II Jun 01, 2010
By Kaylee
This item was easily assembled. It is exactly what I expected. A strong and sturdy machine that stretches my back and neck.
If you're tall your head will hit the floor as this machine does not adjust to the height of the individual.

Low back relief Sep 10, 2009
By Amy
I have a herniate disc at L5/S1 and this version of the teeter hang up has helped me so much. My sciatica down my leg has almost disappeared 1 month after using it. The first few times I used the machine it was uncomfortable for my head because of the pressure, but I have learned to go slower and it is much more comfortable now. It has taken me about a month to learn to relax my muscles, so there is a learning curve for sure. The quality of the machine is excellent. Very sturdy. Overall this is an excellent product.

Best $359.00 I've spent. Sep 18, 2008
By John T.
I was experiencing severe lower back pain for twelve weeks which became nearly "paralyzing". I received my DEX II within 4 days of ordering through Amazon. It was very easy to assemble and by the next day I was feeling much better; two days later I was almost back to normal and nearly pain free.

Great for achy backs Jun 12, 2008
By Lois Walsh
Well constructed, easy to set up and comes with all tools needed. Thighs are horizontal when inverted, so your weight is easily held on the pads and you can relax your legs and back. Pads quickly adjust to fit multiple body sizes. This takes up a bit of room and doesn't fold up, but is great for decompressing your spine. An inversion device was recommended by my chiropractor to relieve back and hip pain, and this model is worth the price.
