EF Products Power Tower VKR Vertical Knee Raise EF-7617 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was shopping for a heavy duty commercial grade power tower when I came across the EF-7617.The other comparable power tower was the Body Solid deluxe vertical knee raise which is similarly priced. I have used this one personally at a local gym and have been pleased with it. I almost ordered the Body Solid, as there were no reviews available on the EF.Other EF products had favorable reviews so I went ahead and ordered. So far I am very impressed.

This power tower is heavy duty 11 gauge steel.It weighs almost twice as much as its similarly priced competitors (Body Solid, Yukon).When assembling it, if you drop a piece on your head you may looking at a trip to your local ER.Once the bolts were tightened, there was zero flex when hanging from it.No fear of tipping.It's rated for 300 lbs, but could probably hold twice that much.All the parts were present and perfectly aligned. Assembly took about 90 minutes and was able to do it myself, though a second person to hold things would have helped.Due to its mass, it felt like I was assembling a piece of military equipment.Should last a lifetime and then some.

A cheaper power tower would suffice, but there's always a good feeling when using exercise equipment that is heavy duty.The pull bar is split which allows pull ups in different hand positions.If you want to do close grip pull ups this creates a problem, but the power tower is substantial enough to do these on one side of the pull up bar without feeling unstable.Overall, very heavy duty and well built.

Powerline PVKC83X Vertical Knee Raise Chin Dip Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to take a chance on this because the reviews were ok, and it's cheap. Well...it's a good try, but I think that in order to hit the sweetspot of attractive price and UPS shippable packaging, too many compromises had to be made.

Kind of flimsy: I weight about 190, and this thing flexes noticeably under my weight. I can see the pull bar bend as I put weight on it, and when I do dips, the whole thing gets rocking. At no time does it feel like it's going to tip over, but it definitely flexes in use.

Ergonomic nightmare: I'm 6' tall, and for me, the back pad is way too low. When doing pullups, at full extension, the horizontal arms are touching my armpits- it's too narrow.When I do dips, if I'm not careful, I will hit my head on the pullup bar. I understand now why MOST pullup/dip stations place the pullup bar on the other side of the tower. It takes up more room, but it would make a MUCH more useable apparatus.

I think the photos they use are either photoshopped, or they found the tiniest models they could to make the device appear roomy. It isn't.

$200 isn't a lot of money, so I don't feel 'burned' or ripped off...I just wish now that I had built something myself instead.

Look for mine on Craigslist real soon!
